MM
Eaststandman Feck Off Oldbies!

I have no plans to sell off the remaining warehouse full of fur hats, kalashinkovs or T34's at my disposal, but there is a popular Russian chocolate biscuit called,

Sladkaya Sloboda...................


The man behind that (literal) car boot sale was years ahead of his time.

Now where did I put those hats...haven't needed them for a while!


Spotted a URZ's fur hat on the head of a chap in Bridport at the weekend, you are MM and ICMFP!

Not so sure about our nickname, but I can see the stadium being re-branded for income.

but theyre welsh, use Ys for Us
DDs for THs
FFs for Fs
and Fs for Vs
they also have letters for sounds previously unheard of in modern language like LL for LCH
so im not sure we should be taking their word as law

I think to phonetically spell "Reading" in Russian, as in the way the town sounds would be something like:


РеДинг

I lived in Russian when I was a kid. I only remember a little of the language but have a booklet from that came in the Guardian which is a guide to Russian so I tried to piece the letters together then googled to confirm!
