Road stay Ice Kewl in Richmond heat
What’s cooler than being cool? Ice Kewl You could forgive some Roaders feeling trepidation at the odyssey to Kew. It has been a cursed ground at times for the good ship Road. An iceberg that has left a whole in the good ship’s hull, and lower order sailors drowning and being cast upon the sharp…

Pinkney and the Game.
Dundonald Rec, warm, dry, sunny. Conditions we have yet to see this season. Oppo the Wimbledon Corinthians, who Keats informed us many times was the team that the once capped John Pinkos left us for. The toss, won by PEJ who put us into bat. The oppo were fielding 9 men at this point with…

It’s a Small world after all
How to write the perfect ending? It isn’t easy. Take the drab and drabber conclusion of the last season of Line of Duty. A masterclass in how to bore your audience to within inches of death.

Think winding lanes and babbling brooks; think brick cottages with white eaves and timber beams; think larks ascending; think hedgerows and churches and farmhouses.
