Friday Fun 29th November 2024

 As always we start with The Friday Joke. Once more, a hat tip to Robert Wilkinson, who as ever makes me titter! 

Fantastic news, I've identified the gene that's making me fat.
She works in Greggs.

Local Football this weekend

Why not come down to Brickfield Lane Stadium (opposite the Gate Pub) in Barnet and watch the Borough of Barnet's oldest football team, Hadley FC bid to go top of the Pitchings Southern league Division One Central against Flackwell Heath.
