Just driven back from Penzance 14:55 - Aug 3 with 1365 viewsCheltenham_Blue

Horrible drive, but could console myself with the thought of logging in and getting some good news.

I think I might just log out til Saturday, see who plays Friday and then read about who’s signed and who hasn’t on the weekend.

I too have driven back from Cornwall today.

A horrid journey, chiefly because the M5 was blocked by a roaming Morris dancing troupe on hover stilts reenacting the Siege of Framlingham. I finally reached the M4, only to be trapped behind a rogue ice cream van operated by retired otters from Stroud, selling “pistachio with a hint of existential dread.” Tried the M5–M6–A14 combo, but was waylaid near Coventry by the Annual Flat Cap Regatta (Northbound), judged by Fiona Bruce and a steam-powered badger.

At least I can now log in and check whether Sir Ian McKellen is fit enough to fill in at left-back at Birmingham on Friday.

Poll: The current squad is missing a "Nigel". Which Nigel would fit best in our side?

Had a very pleasant 7 hour drive from St Ives to West Suffolk. 7 hours drive time. Via M5/M4/M25/M11. Slight hold up around Weston Super Mare. Pretty good. Went down via Birmingham as was recommended by a friend but no thanks. That took 9 hours!

RIP Sir Bobby

That's bollux - it was definitely Hugh Skully, but I suppose it's an easy mistake to make.

That's fair, I hold my hands up - I did indeed make an error, it WAS Hugh Skully - but accompanied by a cardboard cut-out of Geoffrey Whitehead.

If you mean Hugh Scully then it has to be said he was doing very well for someone who left us almost a decade ago:

True story back in the day I’d stayed in Perranporth (Seiners Arms) and it had rained everyday for two weeks.

Which was ok staying in a pub,but it got a bit boring in the end.We decided to leave early as we’d had enough,the drive home was awful as far as I can remember it rained most of the way.

We got to Indian Queens and the sad news came through on the radio that Lady Di had died.

What a terrible end to a poxy two weeks in Cornwall.

I've heard Sir Ian is a wizard on the ball.

You're correct, of course.

Retrospectively I kind of stand by my spelling given, as you say, his likely current state.
