I had the honour of doing the Hospital Radio commentary on behalf of my Bishop's diocese for that particular game. It was a very exciting contest, however it was rather unfortunate for me that Kenny Lunt was playing for Crewe that afternoon. |

Our brethren from Norfolk are as mean as custard are they not? Trying all kinds of food and drink related ways to remain relevant.
Imagine if you will, their esteemed owner, tucked into a nosy little cook in a Stowmarket pub, fortifying herself early for a blurry journey to Portman Road. Meanwhile, a whole family making its way down the A140, mile after mile of it, crunching carrots and gulping down moonshine.
Later, with the game well underway Mzzz Smith briefly wakes as someone accidentally knocks into her gin crate, and produces a little tinkle. Never mind, it happens.
Just then, Ashley Barnes-Door blazes Norwich's one and only chance of the game over the corner flag - "More piss!" cries Delia "I wonder if he's a Dutch trunk, I know I am."
"Why haven't you handed over the reins to that nice witless Yank, yet, darling?" croaks Michael Wynn-Jones, stuffing in another chalk pop.
"Duck fat!" replies Delia, suddenly remembering how to do the roast spuds for Christmas dinner, "I'm in charge of this club until the gin runs out." |

I am always frightfully pleased to hear stories of our brave servicemen and women. Of course, the life of a soldier can be very hard and place undue stresses and strains on the soul as well as the body.
I had a parishioner who had been a commander in the mechanised infantry. As a smaller gentleman, he was of the ideal build for hopping in and out the turret of his vehicle, but it left him very sore and arthritic in his old age.
As a result he did used to complain and moan rather a lot about his aches and pains, but we all in the parish made an effort to be kind and understanding of the whiny tanker. |

The wonderful poetess Ms. Ayres is known to frequent Cambridge, where I was once lucky enough to bump into her whilst out on the Cam in a punt. |

We had one of those donated at a Bring & Buy sale at my former parish in the late seventies.
I say my former parish, as I was rather mercilessly hounded out of my tenure there after attempting to announce said item as second prize in the tombola, won by Lady Spettigue, His Grace the Archbishop's maiden aunt. |

I must admit that I see little in the way of inaccuracy in the comparison, although I would suggest that such comparison is more apposite when applied to one of Mr Everett's more flamboyant characters, in the form of the glamorous and well-built blonde lady who used to cross and uncross her legs rather a lot.
Her name escapes me, but that is how I think of our esteemed Prime Minister. |

A touch harsh, perhaps? What undergarments a gentleman chooses to wear in the privacy of his own taxpayer-funded official residence is his own business surely? I'm in suspenders to see what happens next.
Politics has always seemed to me a sordid affair, practised in the main by corrupt money men. The Whig bankers of the 18th century were a disgrace to the country, but this cabal of foetid oiks seem to be much more worthy of that description.
I do know that neither of these gentlemen have constituencies in Suffolk, but I am saddened that the shame of being represented by either of them must belong to another county's electorate.
Berkshire's? |

A sprightly parishioner of mine and her Greek gentleman friend who really do like to get the most out of life, have just postponed their planned week of intense trekking around Buxton.
Unfortunately, she has been having a spot of trouble with her haemorrhoids of late, and her Doctor has advised her to avoid porking in the Weak District for the time being. |

A sprightly parishioner of mine and her Greek gentleman friend who really do like to get the most out of life, have only two days ago, somewhat serendipitously postponed their planned week of intense trekking around Buxton.
Unfortunately, she has been having a spot of trouble with her haemorrhoids of late, and her Doctor has advised her to avoid porking in the Weak District for the time being. |

I am familiar with the work of Mr Matterson, but of the other fellow with the unfortunate name, I know frightfully little.
In terms of the punditry, Sir Terrence, Lord of Butchery is of course well-known to all. With the other chap I am unfamiliar, although I did know a rather large, toupee-wearing gentleman, prone to perspiration, of the same name who worked at Coutts. I doubt that this is the same wig sweaty banker though. |

All true, dear boy, all true.
The Abbot of a rather charming monastery which I used to visit on occasion, would often appear from the woods in a state of great excitement with a basket full of a wide variety of fungi, from Chicken of the Woods to Giant Puffball. I particularly enjoyed his Horn of Plenty, and Blewit. |
