Another of the Lisbon Lions has passed away.

A good innings at 73 and he gave a lot of pleasure to the fans.

Sadly missed

Rest In Peace Tommy

No idea who will win it but I had to turn it off after a minute as the classic Nina Simone song Feelin' Good was being murdered by one of Birmingham's finest singers screechers Laura somebody or other.

Singer my arse, why do these talentless nobody's try to sign a song that is so obviously beyond their ''singing'' abilities.

 An animal in its death throes would have been more in tune.

General Discussion Area / No 1 Murray

Nice to see Andy Murray retains the number one spot he got a couple of weeks ago.

A good match with a cracking rally in the eighth game.

Good to have a British number one

One of my heroes and arguably the greatest boxer of all time is in intensive care with a respiratory problem.

I remember watched him fighting with arguably the best of the best  ie 'Smokin' Joe Frazier, George Foreman and Ken Norton.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2003-Vauxhall-Omega-2-2-16V-CD-4dr-Auto-4-door-Saloon-/262434725256

£500, no M.O.T. & head gasket gone  35,000 miles

Too far anyway

Missed most of the event as had to work yesterday   would have been less than memorable had I not been flown over by PA474 one of the last airworthy Lancasters

Managed to get to the event in time to see the Red Arrows display

Smashing end to a hard day at the coal face
