Stockport paper

What the Stockport local rag thinks about Saturday.

 

Worth a read!

Is Dave, Johns Brother or something? Becktet is the top goal scorer of the league. First job is to take his legs out!

[Rob_the_Saint]

Don't think they're related, Mad. Agree the man Beckett should be, er, closely marked. Ryan's just the man for the job imo.

 

Interesting the Stockport Express or whatever it's called could only come up with Paul Merson as a famous celebrity living in St Albans, probably best known for wrapping his car round a lampost in Sandridge after an all-day session in the Rose & Crown. Oh well, as C.E.Park says, worth a read I s'pose.

Interesting '10 things you didn't know about St. Albans' article didn't contain:

 

2nd most pubs per square mile in the world after Las Vegas

 

St. Alban was Britain's First Christian Martyr

 

Fighting Cocks is one of the oldest pubs in the world

 

One of the last men to be hung in England was hung outside WHSmith. Last Thursday, I am told.

 

The Cathedral boasts the longest knave in the world.

Oh yeah, I also love the quote from Eamsie when referring to the Bristol City match...

 

<blockquote><font class="small">Quote:</font><hr>

“We were six down at half-time,” said club secretary, Steve Eames. “But we managed to stage a bit of a comeback in the second half.”

The Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Alban (to give its full name) did have the longest nave in Britain until the "new" Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool was opened sometime in the 1960's I believe. Sorry to be pedantic.

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Anglican? That's not a religion! Is it?

[mdetaylor]

Another name for Church of England.

 

Cambridge dictionary:

 

The Church of England (abbreviation C of E), or the Anglican church, is by law the official church in England, and its leader is the king or queen.

Oi!

 

MDE and GHA

 

Theological discussions on the other board please.

[Laz]

Rob, this happens a lot. Threads start talking about football and end up about the usual nonsense. I prefered it when there was only one board: no switching between the two, etc.

[GHA EFM]

Personally I don't believe in religion or the monarchy so from my point of view the conversation is already ended.
