They sold one of his cars on Bangers and Cash.

It was an Excalibur modelled on a 1920s Mercedes SSK sportster. It was based on a Studebaker chassis with a whopping V8 engine. A bit of a handful by all accounts.

Aye, that's right. He was the half time guest when he finally picked up his medal I think.

Hendrickxz

Good to hear. My work brought me into contact with (I think) his nephew who ran a landscaping company in Leyland at the time. When he found out that I was a Burnley fan, he said his uncle had played for them, his name was Bobby Seith. It was just a couple of months after Bobby was half time guest at...

Vale upholstery in Mytholmroyd is a long-established British manufacturer with a good reputation. I bought our first sofa from them almost 50 years ago and it was virtually bombproof. We only changed it because fashions changed. Our current one is made in the UK by Alstons. We chose it from a showro...

Hells bells, just looked up the Pack Horse to find that it is permanently closed. Another of my former haunts fallen by the wayside!

Hendrickxz

I haven't been for years, but the Pack Horse pub used to have a collection of fascinating photos of the reserviors under construction, together with shots of the old railway. No idea if they are still there though.

There’s a Parkers’ Arms in Newton-in-Bowland that I’ve now decided has been named in Scott’s honour.

I am not sure he'd appreciate that dubious honour! You bin in?

Hendrickxz

He had a good game yesterday and kept his cool, except for getting in the ref's face a couple of times when he'd been fouled. Thgen he clapped the ref when he finally got a decision right. Players have been booked for less.

Hendrickxz

Do you reckon they had a support for the camera? I thought it was a 7 year old kid filming on an iPhone! Worst yet and missing the first Burnley goal was inexcusable.

Hendrickxz

Just as an interesting aside, the Thiepval Memorial brick sections are actually constructed in Accrington Brick, so I seem to remember.

Hendrickxz

Did you mean sick of talking about him?

Hendrickxz

Just watched Boro vs Sunderland. I'd back either of those ahead of us for automatic, sorry to say.

Hendrickxz

I only just realisedto today that my car tax will be increasing by £65 a year from April! The robbing cow. . .

Lancashire Rain!

Everyone speaks very highly of the Land-Rover garage opposite the Barley Mow in Barley. Might at least be worth having a word with them. They may be able to tow it in for you, depending where you are. (This is meant to be a hlpful reply -- don't start the "Barley is full" debate again

)

Hendrickxz

Remember New Year's Day 2005 when the game was abandoned due to rain of "Biblical" proportions. Called off after 20 minuites and I think we were 2 goals up! Went to the pub. . . The following year at a Christmas Eve party we decided on the spur of the moment to go to Stanley on Boxing Day for a derb...

We've made all the bricks here in Accrington

Do they still make bricks in Accy? My understanding was that the plant was mothballed and used for storage only a good few years ago?

Depending on model, most bits and pieces,and chassis,is Ford.

Yep, anyone who could service a Mondeo should be able to spanner an S-Type.

He's been a bit part player for over two seasons and I suspect that sharpness he once had around the goal has deserted him

It certainly hadn't deserted him when he came on late in the game against the Hammers last season and snatched an equaliser when we should have had all three points.

Not THE Bill Oddie i will assume...

No, but when birdie bill gave a talk on wildlife at Clitheroe Grand a few years ago the Lancashire Telegraph got him and bread Bill together for a photograph and story.

Hendrickxz

I also didn't realise they are called that because their prices are odd numbers. Or something. Not the case C&J. Its named after W.H. Oddie the founder in the last century. Until a few years ago it was run by Bill Oddie, a true gent, who really looked after his staff. Bill died and it passed to his...

Consider Malta. About 25 degrees and the Maltese people actually seem to like us. A bit longer flight time but nay too bad. No language problems at all.

Sorry to go off topic, but the Radio Lancashire commentator claimed that we were promoted under Dyche after scoring just 37 goals all season. I'd love to know what he was smoking! That's nowt. The Scottish guy summarising the Blagbin Rovers Vs Swansea game (Jim White?) signed off his report "I rema...

Not in Garstang but previously had a caravan on the outskirts of town. It is a nice place to live with nice level walks along the canal etc. It has three reasonable supermarkets, Lidl, Booths and Sainsbury's, quite a few independent shops and some decent pubs. It doesn't seem to attract weekend "diX...

There is a repair cafe once a month at the Victoria Hall, Settle. if you fancy a run out. There is one today, in fact, Oct 17th, from 5-7.30 pm. Get yourself over there! They do good brews and cakes. . .

I seem to remember a postman who was a friend of the aforesaid Illy. The name Barney springs to mind? Always wore his postie hat with the trim piece holding it in an American GI mode. Recall Illy working in the Wagggon and Horses Brierfield. Always thought there was something of the Mick Jagger abou...

Well I’m pleased someone picked up my Trafford Centre.

Y'mean it was deliberate?

Hendrickxz

Just wish he'd quit fiddling with his hair-do during the match. But as long as we keep winning I'll let him off.

Hendrickxz

I don't listen to the commentary. I watched it on Sky Sports + and as you say there was no clock/score for a time. They also didn't give out the line-ups at any time. I agree about looking at managers etc. but unfortunately the editors seem to think that's what we want. Frustrating! I tuned in pret...

Hendrickxz

Told you he was a good 'un!

Hendrickxz

Bloody stupid blunder early on. I think he has been watching Muric too much!

Hendrickxz

Pace has been removed! We've flogged off anyone capable of running in attack!

I really want foster to come good, but we are desperately short of a striker right now.

Danny Ings anyone?

Seniors right on the square, eat out of eat in. Good portions and nicely cooked. Whelans not as good as they used to be (in my opinion) although they do allow you to eat in for no extra charge and dogs are welcome. If you go there, order your fish as you go in or they won't be too pleased. As an alt...

One thing this does highlight is that this lot seem to be able to work quietly away in the background, behind all the smoke, mirrors and noise of the transfer market, then come up with a complete surprise like this. Should we expect more of the unexpected? Nobody seemed to have the faintest clue abo...

Private Walker from Dad's Army. Anyone interested in some petrol coupons???

Hendrickxz

And why wasn't this announced yesterday -- this new lot have no respect for our past. Sales and incomings are traditionally announced on a Thursday. Everything has gone to pot recently!

Hendrickxz

Yep, money makes the World go round, but at least we have players to come in, which hasn't always been the case in the past.

Hendrickxz

You bin yet? Any good?

Hendrickxz

Bit of a turn up in view of the noises supposedly coming from elsewhere. He was off home at one point if you believe that. A pleasant surprise I'd say. Hope he lives up to his reputation.

There was a bloke locally who took a "Z car" to shows. He stored it in a lock up near Colne. Not sure if it was a gen version or something spoofed up to look like a Z-cars Zephyr. From memory it was a dark green colourand had a ruddy great blue light on top.

The theme tune is Johnny Todd and Everton used it (might still?) for their walking out tune. It has its roots in Liverpool folk music and was ain the Spinners (remember them?) repertoire.

Before going fancy eating, first consider where you park your motor (assuming you are travelling in one) These cities are notorious for people nicking. Its sneaky stuff rather than violent.

Not much point in shooting when you're on the edge of the box and there are 3 or 4 of the opposition between you and the goal.

It would take something special and believe me, we're not.

You mean someone like Phil Foden? If only . . .
