140 Up

[not3bad]

It occurred to me that it was 140 years ago this month that Mr Scattergood and co. stood under a gas lamp and discussed the formation of the greatest team the world has ever seen.

Happy 140th Aston Villa.

There's no proof of the date.

It's not a particularly relevant date anyway. 150th is worth celebrating, 140 is just a number with a 0 on the end of it.

[Gregorys Boy]

^ Agreed, but what the hell I'm no kill joy.  So Happy 140th Aston Villa anyway

Yes but it has a five in it too, so it's important!

Basically, if a cricketer raises his bat after getting to a number, it's important, if not, it isn't.

Yes I know I'm a big party-pooper!

Oops, I thought this was going to be a thread about 7UP bringing out a twenty times stronger version of their pop.

I used to raise my bat if I got a single run

You might have some trouble explaining that if you get to your Diamond Wedding anniversary.

Just explain to your wife that you've got your eye in and intend to play some shots. She will understand.

Some of us can remember the 100th - but we are very unlikely to see the 200th!
