Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Baddiel and Skinner's Great WC Moments!


For those of you who don't know them, Baddiel and Skinner are a couple of British comedians who specialize in footie humor. Typically they do special shows during major tournaments, but this year they're doing podcasts for the Times of London. Here are some of the funnier comments from their show:

* Peter Crouch suffered more than the other England players as his head is closer to the sun.

* Ladbrokes have listed 40-1 odds on England winning the World Cup without an English player ever scoring.

* England players must think Peter Crouch is 20 feet tall given the height of their crosses.

And my favorite piece was a little ditty that they did to the tune of "Skip to My Lou:"

"Pick, pick, pick the Roo
Pick, pick, pick the Roo
Pick, pick, pick the Roo
Pick the Roo, my darling!"

Belt that one out in the shower on Thursday, won't you?
