Postbag: Vampires, my friend, vampires

24 June 2005

Hello. Hullo. Hallo. I was going to write a nice jolly intro here but it's just too bloody hot. So damn you. Damn you all to Hades and back. And... zzzzz... bollocks.Letters. Yes. Here. Send them to this thing: postbag@codalmighty.com. Me read letters, stick them here. You read. Goodnight.

Edgar Frog

From ABC to Monty Python songs, eh? The postbag editor is one strange fellow.

Ricky Butler

Haha! I cunningly altered my Rough Guide as soon as i found out about Bradley, so there.

Firstly, it isn't called "Soccer". Secondly, Sensible Soccer was a truly hopeless game, briefly fashionable amongst people too slow or stupid to cope with "Kick-Off." Thirdly, its too hot out there. What's with this weather, eh? Cuh dear.

from The Man in the Iron Mask

Letters Ed responds: Gah! Give over. Sensible World of Soccer promoted a more flowing, stylish game of football. Kick Off was just kick and rush rubbish. Plus SWOS had a Grimsby team in it, so there! And it was called Sensible Soccer because Sensible Football wouldn't have been as alliteratively appealing, would it?

Donatello

On 20th June the Diary wrote of the "zombified hell that is Docklands". I want him to justify his claims. What leads him to believe this area is not a thriving community filled with cutting edge architecture? Has he even been there?

who IS Quentin Wilson anyway?

from Jo Tilley

Letters Ed responds: I… don't know? Is this a trick question?

Clark 'Mouth' Devereaux

There's an Elton John song called Grimsby? Why was I not told about this?

from Miss B

Letters Ed responds: Did you ask?

Andy Holts statistics essays are ace.

re: Welsh Mariners. No wonder there aren't more of us with racist comments like: "Rather less strictly speaking, it could also be described as telling Grimsby you'll sign for them, then welching on it to sign for Darlington instead, but then failing to agree terms." Taken from the daily diary.

Just imagine how many of us taffs would be there otherwise! I know at least two living in Lincolnshire that haven't been lynched yet.

from Natty

Letters Ed responds: I'm finding this week's postbag really hard work. Can we just go back to conversations about iced tea?

I know yesterday was the summer solstice but I reckon today, the day before the fixtures are released, is the longest day of the year.

I was fishing around in the results database and noticed that there is no record of the match with Liverpool in the FA Cup jan 5th 1980 - we got humped 5-0 by the Reds (according to LFC stats.) II thought it was 5-1! I was sitting in the Kemlyn Road stand and when town scored I leapt up to chear and some tosser put some chewing gum on my seat! It was a great day out though. Memories… like the corners etc. etc.

Great resource - keep up the good work.

from Rich White

Letters Ed responds: Cheers Rich. I'll get our database person to look at the anomaly.
