In the spirit of forum inclusiveness, now do Sweden

Seemed she got on very well with Harold Wilson.

Harold Wilson was a big Huddersfield fan.

There's a statue of him outside Huddersfield train station. I had to go there for work a few years ago and it's slap bang in the middle of the square as you leave the station.

Callaghan

He was on the tip of my tongue.. Didn't think of Home or Eden

Prem games postponed this weekend.

The reason I can recall Alex Douglas-Home is that the last bit of his surname is pronounced Hume but spelled Home.

Next weekend likely to be called off too because of the funeral. Looking like our next league game will be Tottenham on Oct 1st.

Torygraph reckon the funeral will be Monday 20th. We play Brentford the day before.

There is some previous here. The last actual State Funeral was Winston Churchill which was on Saturday 30th Jan 1960 - and there was a full program of FA Cup 4th round games played that day.

Edit - we never made it to the 4th round that year having been beaten 2-0 in a replayed tie by Rotherham.

Not 'round our house. My old man never referred to him as anything other than hOme - usually prefaced by something colourful. For him, hOme was the absolute epitome of privilege. I remenber he looked more dead then alive. He was some sort of Lord and he had to relinquish his title to take the PM office.

1965?

They will cancel all games, I'm pretty sure of that.

All sporting events postponed or canceled this weekend. And next weekend as well depending on the funeral date.

My sons kids football match is cancelled Sunday too, plus his training this evening. He’s not happy

This is increasingly looking like an overreaction.

So the Everton game is off, the PSV one is likely to go ahead, and the Brentford game may be postponed as it’s so close to the funeral…..so our next league game could be Spurs

Bit sloshed so forgive me. Very agreeable bottle of Williamette Pinot Noir in the rear view mirror.

Curious as to the age range of the forumites… I think I’m in the senior age group with such other luminaries as OMOH, DHD, Parkerknoll Gooner, TG and Long Time. Mee sadly passed. Please excuse me if I have mis categorized you
I was born December 1953 in London. Makes me 68. ( Supported the Arse forever. First game I really remember is beating Spurs at Highbury after Terry
Venables got married in the morning with GG as his best man)

Don’t think that makes me the oldest….certainly not the youngest. I’m not prying individually just intrigued by the demographics of this terrific group of world wide supporters of a great club.
I think that currently it is 100 per cent male ….

Curiosity killed the cat so please ignore this if it causes offence. Apologies in advance ….I’m an open book…I think I’m the only poster who uses his real full name. My London addresses before I moved to Philly were
20 Trinder Road N.19
1 The Woodlands Crouch Hill N.8
44 Gallants Farm Road East Barnet Herts EN48ES
12 Orpington Road London N.21
8 Old Park Ridings Grange Park,N.21

Any of you know North London my family are from the Bunk.
Campbell Bunk ….it’s gone now ….was a tough street ….near Playford Road in Finsbury Park. My Dad and his siblings were raised there

I think I’ll stop here as I am now well into the Nocino and this probably all reads like a lot of bollocks. Sorry. Night all.

Hi Andy. There definitely is at least one female on the forum. But as she’s never revealed her gender, I’m never going to.

Of the red grape varieties, I prefer the fuller, more robust ones. So pinot noir doesn’t really do it for me. But we all have our own taste and if you like it, that’s what counts.

I won’t give the addresses where I’ve lived but started off in Muswell Hill, then Barnet (Totteridge), then Edmonton for a few years when I married my first wife, then New Barnet when we split up. I then started work in Chichester where I met who was to be my second and current wife and we lived in a village close by until we moved to South Hertfordshire. Worked in various places including (but not only) Worthing, South London, the Stoke area, Manchester and Plymouth without ever moving there.

Chose to go to university at the LSE to make it easier to get to Arsenal matches when a student. Firmly consider myself a North Londoner (both an Arsenal fan in football and a somewhat less enthusiastic Middlesex fan in cricket) and know everywhere north of the Thames pretty well. But have also regularly socialised countless times all over Greater London. Particularly Central London but also South, West and East London. Basically there’s nowhere in London I don’t know pretty damn well.

Isn’t it obvious that Long Time Gooner is a female?

Far from being a reaction, it was all planned years ago.
