Surprising, he doesn't like travellers.

Even more niche given that he is a referee who is happy to change his position on a regular basis....

She then apparently posed with the couple for another few snaps and then bid them farewell. As she was walking away she said to her protection officer “I really would like to be a fly on the wall when they show those pictures to their friends and family”

Very sadly we no longer have to specify which CCR, because there is only one

Technically, isn't the museum at Manchester Airport a Concorde Room?

He didn’t know either- you could see from his face that he was ******* high.

Linda Plant was in the CCR on Thursday.

I had no idea who she was, but some of my friends knew that amongst other achievements, she stars in a "Schadenfreude TV" programme

Funnily enough, if it had been Lynda La Plante, I would have recognised her..
