In deference to the persistently lazy days of summer and in eager anticipation of John Mackie’s promised contribution, Backside has decided unanimously as ever to keep the Summertime contest open until 31st August, after breakfast.
As Nat King Cole sang in 1963:
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Youll wish that summer could always be here!

August poetry competition- match postponed. Pools panel result…
Nice one TR 🙂
At least the officiating of the poetry match will be reasoned, open and I trust accurate, unlike the pathetic performances and decisions that I’ve seen by ‘professionals’ in the first two weeks of the football season 😡
Yes, Lampard clearly handled in the box last night. Ref said not.
Fine with me Janus. I may have another crack! Incidentally when I googled ‘best summer songs’ I got a load of modern shite – no tunes, no lyrics, just noisy trash! Mmmm must write a summer song myself!
