So you're more of a Coda Rodgers.

Alternatively just plant a Russian vine. Then you will spend all your spare time cutting the bl00dy thing.

And so Russell enters the pantheon of former Town players to receive recognition on the literary stage.

Who can forget Roy Stephenson's Kidnapped?
Or Simon Milton's Paradise Lost ?

If it rains again like it did today I'm going to have to leave a little bit sooner ...

Are TWTD forum spats the white cloth ones, the black/brown leather ones or the ones foundry workers wear?

Anyway, not my thing. Why spoil the look of a good shoe?

And wasn't Edith responsible for a popular chant back in the day?

But I digress. I probably won't fly down to Rio but, then again, I just might.

That chant was still a massive improvement on Terry Jacks' self-pitying, saccharine, interpretation of a classic piece of cynical Brel.

But back to the thread ...

Caught a bit of this yesterday when they mentioned the funeral of the sailors washed ashore from HMS Charybdis and HMS Limbourne - https://www.channel4.com/programmes/britain-under-the-nazis-forgotten-occupation

Turning up in your thousands when large gatherings were expressly forbidden, draping coffins in the union flag, displaying red white and blue generally ...

Passive resistance but more than just "sticking your fingers up" to a heavily armed, volatile and aggressive occupier. For me that sort of thing takes courage, particularly when one considers that liberation would only come with an Allied victory (and even then the Nazis' propensity for "retribution" would have been a constant worry until arms were finally laid down).

Can't imagine what it would have been like to live under occupation like that.
