Joke of the week

This is from Phil, who writes one of the best blogs around:

'I just saw loads of miners and Scousers on the TV, celebrating wildly. Is Thatcher dead?'

And while I think about it, congratulations to Tipton Town FC ('the Tipton Terrorists') who managed to overturn the mighty Radcliffe Olympic in a replay of the FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round, with an emphatic 2-0 win. Next match: Sheffield FC, apparently the oldest team in the world, and the only team in Sheffield which isn't Wednesday or United.

    Dark Place Central Library are selling their old-stock. I've nabbed all the lit. criticism and poetry collections, but there's a lot of stuff still up for grabs.

    Ex-Hegemon English student (gradumacated in September). Discovered your blog somehow or other, and have been using it to procrastinate and fuel feelings of moral outrage for a good year or so.

    Edward is the name, and, good lordi, I need to get out more.

    Good to virtually meet you. Come for the outrage, stay for the sarcasm.
