I'm finding SFN a little too peaceable at the moment, a bit like tennis since Connors and MacEnro hung up their rackets. So I'm hoping that you will all get wasted tomorrow evening and have a good drunken (virtual) brawl like in the good old days. I even can suggest a few subjects that might light the blue touch paper:
1) northeners
2) should Brian shave that beard ?
3) happening : apéro Facebook at Higginson Towers tomorrow evening
anyone else feeling creative ?

Ok, Catharine, as in “oooohh, Matron, his balls are very dirty” ?
@ Sheila - only if you accompany that with “carry on” style innuendo…
We play petanque on Friday night (and usually lose, as we are the beginners), so can I come back to SFN and lob boules randomly at anyone? 
Well you know if that’s what the readers want…
