Celery - Name comes from the Latin 'Celer' meaning Fast/Speedy, and the Old French 'Celer' meaning Hide/Conceal.

Which is why many people are fast to conceal Celery if they are unfortunately served it.

The cat was the boss. It was a Maine Coon and she was always getting called to the local river by people fishing because the cat would swim after fish, which would scare them all away ruining the fishing.

An old lady I would visit to drop off shopping was once sat in her chair on a bitterly cold day with the patio doors wide open and the fire on full blast. I asked why. She replied "The cat's out but he does still like to see the fire"

Still, Not as bad for crowds as central London. Think I managed to break a few ankles last time with the amount of tourists stepping blindly backwards into the path of the Wheelchair.

So I apologised for them causing their own injuries profusely like a good Brit stereotype.

I am sure if the local hospital had been converted into a Library there would be many a time a parent would consider returning the child they checked out from there.

I grew up sat in beer gardens and outside pubs. One of my regular tricks was finishing the dregs of left glasses.

I am sure that my first 18 years were some of my biggest drinking years based on my size and drink volume.

The big impersonal stadiums are never the best places to be a fan who likes the team spirit that can be created by mixing with fans of all ages and backgrounds, while being close enough to the action that the players can see and feel your support friendship and appreciation for them and the team.

Everton has such a large ridge down the middle that you can lose players over the far side if you sit down near the front. Some lumps and bumps are designed in

seen lots for an advantage such as leaving the grass long near the corners to hold the ball up or cutting power to away dressing room.

Consider how it would look without all the temporary 'improvements' that hosting such a match brings. Some nonleague pitches have crazy slopes and hidden dips. More like the mudbath of the 70s.

That did annoy me. Yes it is okay doing atmosphere shots of the crowd but the action is on the pitch. Just how many snotty nosed kids (most without tinfoil cups) do we have to see to understand it is FA Cup game at a non league ground.

Our troubles in front of goal still need to be sorted. Can not put it all down to superb defending and inspired Keeper.

About the only thing I agreed with as far as the commentors is when they said that "Doncaster players were wanting others to do something instead of them."

Bet the Ref and assist Ref saw Sharps shirt being pulled back stopping him getting a shot off, as shown in the image, and said no foul by claiming Sharp was the one pulling the shirt.

Such obvious fouls are ignored ever week.

All the attacking talent and it feels like they are all only putting in half effort at times in front of goal, preferring instead that someone else takes the shot.

They should be scoring a lot more of these chances. 13 off target! only 3 on.

Change is not my thing, which is why I've never lasted long working in shops.
