    No need to listen to Radio 5Live when you're on the ball Mike! ;-)
    They've even heard of Ronnie Drew too!

    By the way, did you ever volunteer to be a mod here? Or are you a rocker?

    Ipswich defeated Burnley in a match that was delayed for an hour after a parachutist landed on a stand.

    The match eventually started with the jumper, one of seven delivering the match ball, still on the roof.

    The fire brigade were called to bring the parachutist down, with the match unable to start until his safety had been assured.

    But the situation was further complicated when the fire engine could not enter the ground because of parked cars blocking the entrance.

    The PA announcer at the ground has to appeal for the owners to move the cars before the fire engine could enter and resolve the situation.

    Quality, think The Simpsons episode when Maud Flanders falls to her death from the top of the Springfield Speedway and can't be rescued because Homer is parked in the ambulance bay.:D

    :p

    I actually thought the parachutist had jumped out of burning plane full of Bond baddies.

    Truth is so boring.

    Mike.
