The return of the Orange coloured Lemons.

[10ClarionSt]

MOTD is back tonight. What a thought! Has been footballers getting paid mega bucks to tell us what we've just seen. Must admit, I'd do it myself if I could get away with it. Money for old rope, definitely.

The football season has come round far to quickly for my liking 10ClarionSt, and MOTD with it. Same old, same old.

How did Alan Hansen get that scar on his forehead?

Disagreed with a referee somewhere in Scotland?

He used to work on Machete Of The Day.

Excellent Douggie

Why do people pay money for old rope? Always wanted to know the start of that expression.

When it wasn't fit for its original purpose it still had some value as 'oakum' used to caulk wooden ships.

[sandyRoe]

Or maybe not.

[Hopkirk]

Thanks Chris, but I can't open that.

What does it say?

Sandy:
That's the version that I'd heard but most web references seem to be rather more macabre!

He ran into a plate glass panel when he was aged 15 in the local youth club

Quote from AH:
The scar on my forehead is from running through a plate-glass panel when I was 15. I had 27 stitches, which took two hours. The glass was in a brand-new youth club, and the manager came to where I was pouring blood and said: "Look at the carpets!"
