England coaster to victory

Good win for England last night, eh? I sometimes 'umm' and 'arr' about watching those games, cos I feel a bit like Jimmy Greaves did in his half time interview. Did you see that? It was like watching your Grandad on national television going on about the 'good old days' wasn't it? Probably the highlight of ITV's football output for the last ten years.

Anyway, onto more pressing matters. I went to watch the game at the lovely home of Simon and Becks (who are to be wed next week - Congratulations!). Having brought a couple of cans of numbers with me, I reached over for a coaster (I'm a good houseguest, and no-one likes rings on their woodwork) and was greeted with a picture of a chicken on a bar stool. Bit of an odd one, you might think.. And you'd be right. But underneath it, the caption:

Jimmy Hen Drinks

I actually shouted "Yes!" Everyone looked up to see if England had scored. They almost had, but that was just a coincidence. The other five coasters in the set were all of equal worth.



I had to make Jon drink his tea while I took a photo. I'm sure he understands. Have a click on it if you can't read them!
