My boyhood hero & a simply fantastic keeper for England & Derby. A master of his craft with a brilliant all-round game. A model of consistency with incredible longevity at the very highest level. A true goalkeeping legend 👏🙌. I will never forget how much I idolised him as a boy
My Mr Badger Quote of the Day is .....
'Toad, you are a social calamity'.
&
'Oh dear ..... no,lucky, really, I seem to have snookered you'.
From the episode - Champion of the Green Baize.
On seeing this i immediately thought of the Land Registry OS1 official search. The good old priority period.
asked it how I looked.
It said: I can't see you. But you sound ready.
Seven a.m., I sat bolt upright already panicking. It said "seven,
breathe — say the word and I'll move your eight o'clock." Moved it.
In the kitchen: interview's at ten, you rehearsed on Tuesday, you were
great, leave by nine fifteen and you're golden. It had taken notes on
a rehearsal I'd half forgotten doing.
On the walk in: ninth floor, ask for Maya, you met her once, she liked
your podcast. Phone on silent — anything that comes in, I'll take notes.
Came out. It just said: "Well?"
They said yes.
OS1. The voice in your corner.

One of my favourite model cranes.
A fully extended jib complete with fly & lattice jibs.
When i worked at a Crane Hire Company. In between running the office. I used to ❤️ reading about the vertical reach of the jibs in metres and the corresponding maximum lift. Great fun.
My Album of the Day is from 1999 and is a hidden gem from The Lightning Seeds. I can remember this being on posters at the Railway Station in Great Yarmouth on my commute to & from work.
If Only being my favourite track.
youtu.be/6Rw_Ay-nwvE?si=NaRy…. My song choice today is from Suzanne Vega.
I learnt last night that u can receive a 200 year supply of Pringles. Provided you agree to your ashes being put in a Pringles tin urn when you pass away.
I think I'll pass. But I was thinking 🤔 how do they quantify 200 years worth of Pringles? Average annual consumption?
Album of the Day is this 2002 full on rock album from Sheryl Crow. Not a bad track on it & the live version of the title track with The Corrs is simply superb. One of her very best. Big sounding, melodic & memorable songs 🎵. Definitely best listened to loud 👌
youtu.be/6p-lDYPR2P8?si=YYIv…. My song choice today is from Madonna.
Very, very true.
Take one part away & your life as you know it today. Would simply not exist.
Lucy in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader comes to mind.
Having been to the Cinema tonight. Pearl & Dean, still plays at the beginning of the film. I haven't seen Pearl & Dean for years.
Cue the music
🎶 Ppppppppp .... Pearl & Dean 🎶
Have just seen it and it was brilliant 👏.
A charmingly sweet movie. Heartwarmingly funny & clever as well. Really enjoyable & a brilliant follow on from the TV series.
So pleased about the scotch egg at the end.
A 10 out of 10 from me.

What did you think of Ghosts: The Possession of Button House? 👻🍿
ALT Cast of BBC comedy Ghosts in The Possession of Button House, gathered in a dimly lit library with bookshelves and furniture covered in protective plastic sheeting. The Captain stands on the left in a green military uniform, looking concerned, while Kitty, wearing an elaborate pink and brown Georgian dress, turns to look over her shoulder. Behind her stands Pat in a beige scout leader's uniform, alongside other ghosts including Fanny, Julian, Robin and Thomas. The characters have surprised and worried expressions as they look towards something off-camera.
Wasn't it something along the lines of..... the cleaner your hair actually was. The more chance you had, of actually having nits? Or have I completely imagined that? 😂
My Mr Badger Quote of the Day is .....
'I think you must be feverish Toad. Cause destruction it may, render us homeless it may, but will a steam traction engine eat anybody?'
From the episode - The Monster of the Wild Wood.
Just now watching Clive Anderson on Sunday Brunch.
Other than a greying of his hair. He doesn't look much different than he did back then on Whose Line Is It Anyway? Was it really back in the 80s & 90s.
My Album of the Day is Revolver. Aside from Abbey Road, this is my favourite Beatles Album closely followed by Rubber Soul. Revolver truly is a work of art. My favourite tracks being ;
Taxman
She Said She Said
Doctor Robert
& And Your Bird Can Sing
Our history is full of tragedies like this.
No single person or thing being solely responsible. Rather it was a collection of small events coinciding at precisely the wrong time to create a tragedy.
25 October 1854: "Into the valley of Death
rode the six hundred"
At Balaclava during the Crimean War, around 670 men of the British Light Brigade charged directly towards Russian guns after a disastrous misunderstanding of orders.
They rode more than three-quarters of a mile under heavy fire. 118 men were killed, 127 wounded and around 60 taken prisoner. More than 300 horses were also killed.
The doomed charge was immortalised by Tennyson in The Charge of the Light Brigade.
