We all found out yesterday that 'someone' was coming to a certain club in the East Midlands because our chairman had made it public that we were going to have a press conference this morning. We don't normally have one of those just for appointing a new steward :-)
I've spent a couple of hours today reading Chatterbox. Most subscribers are chuffed to bits that he's back. He is a legend at the club, having coached us to two consecutive league championships. He has apparently taken some part in team training today. He should try getting himself fit, then he might replace Andre Boucaud in our midfield :-)
Obvious plus points are that he should attract more publicity (preferably not of a racist nature!), interest and revenue to the club. The major down side is that we will probably have to reinforce the main stand if wears all his bling to games.
Apparently at least 5 websites including football365.com have already announced that the legend has returned to KTFC, who are in the Nationwide Conference South league! Bloody journos

Overheard on the radio last week - "The UK is now a tinpot country" Do you think we get a prize? |

Overheard on the radio last week - "The UK is now a tinpot country" Do you think we get a prize? You proposing we found a new country, Peekay?  The Republic of Tinpotia, perhaps? Isihac and Amber can issue us all with 'Passpots' as a form of ID. |

I should have watched that thing Danny Wallace did a while back. Could have picked up some tips. |

is that passpot or p-sspots? "Spit spot!" said Mary Poppins. Some more definitions for the tinpot dictionary? "Pisspot" - toilets, which - for whatever reason - are not what you'd expect to see in 21st Century Britain (such as the Merthyr Tydfil outdoor walls). "Pisstop"[pronounced 'grbystr' in East Anglia] - this, on the other hand, means toilets which go way beyond the call of duty (such as Havant's with their snazzy Fax Machine paper dispenser, or Rugby Town's.) "Pitstop" - polite expression for visit to either of the previous 2. (Archaic usage, since most tinpotters don't bother with politesse or ceremony when they need to go...) |

Our fax paper thingy is frightfully posh, is it not?
A little too sophisticated for some; but awfully nice!

And what about Histon? Or is this a pisspost? Agree with you and bh about Histon's 'facilities'. There are about 3 urinals for their whole 'huge', Conference Standard Ground. " pisspot" or " pisspoor" would suitably fit their description. And their toilets!  |
