Once Upon A Time

Delph is the goose and he's going to be sold to Carson Yeung?

[mr underhill]

I agree. the very first thing I do after a sherbet or two is dash off a few football themed parables whilst channelling my inner Hans Christian Andersen.

I like the description of Sherwood as a strolling varlet.

I like the description of Sherwood as a strolling varlet.

Yes, that was good. Also it rhymes with "harlot" which reminded me of a wholesome Hertfordshire harlot from Welwyn Garden City that I once met in the Lanes of Brighton.  Or should I say, she once met me.

I know some Chinese businessmen, Mr pang and Mr Wang. Never mentioned football to me.
