Thinking about my 'own goal' this morning reminded me of a post a few years back where an Aber likened some senior members among us to Premiership football teams. I can't recall them all, and the post was removed as some of the suggestions were dodgy. but I was Arsenal! The citation read ' scores some brilliant goals but is subject to lapses in concentration and is injury prone! I do however remember that Quizmonster was Man U.for year in year out class and domination and I think Crofter was Liverpool, and Quizmonkey was Chelsea but I better not explain why! So an own goal was not too surprising!
K, how long has AB been in existence. I consider myself an old timer having been a member for a couple of years but maybe I'm still a new kid on the block!
Yes, well you deserve your place among the greats, K. The names you mention mean more to me than the teams - I once went to a football match and vowed never again! that must have been sixty years ago.
Having signed on with AB as recently as Nov. 2005, I have a long way to go. Google is my best friend!
Senior ? Yes in more ways then one ! Big six O is my next one.
I have been here a while I have to admit ....too long actually !
Do you remember Kosoro ?
Good grief! Yes, that sounds vaguely familiar. Seems an awfully long time ago now, K. What have you done, anyway? I haven't got down as far as this morning's questions - or own goals - yet, but I will shortly. Cheers
K, I was desperate to know what you had done so scrolled back!
If it's any consolation it is good for the rest of us to know you have your moments!!!!
One of my biggest problems when completing crosswords is thinking of a connection, assuming it's right then totally focussing on that!!! Sometimes I need to take a step back, many's the time when I go back to a puzzle an hour or two later and the answer hits me straight away ( and many's the time it doesn't!)
