    That Garry Parker played more games for Leicester than he did for Forest.

    Transfermarkt disagrees: www.transfermarkt.co.uk/garry-parker/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/107796

    Wikipedia is pretty unreliable for appearance data.

    Thecityground.com is good for Forest stats and has him on 151: www.thecityground.com/appearances.php

    Ligue 1 in France has a rule called the joker that allows each club to make one transfer a season outside the transfer window. Player has to be already registered as a player with the FFF so must be signed from another French club. That seems like quite a fun rule as it allows a team to find cover for a major injury.

    That was probably little comfort to Lt. Pete Mitchell.

    Poor Goose.

    Who knows what it could have done with ejector/election/erection?

    You should think yourself lucky. Check your draft emails before send, people.

    That Netflix has introduced a handful of simple interactive games that you control through your mobile phone. All pretty simple to set up and we had some fun playing tonight with Little Miss BW (who spends most evenings in her room these days).

    Enjoyed the Stranger Things-themed crazy golf and, surprisingly, the FIFA World Cup game.
