When I was chatting to his great great grandson the other week he said he had definitely seen a photo of eccentric Alf's pet lion but he couldn't find it after! I kindly pointed out that it wasn't JUST a pet. Also not entirely a lion 😂

Did a thing for BBC Oxford recently where they asked why is this place called Roslyn, is it because there was Wrestling. And I'm like, what, what is THAT accent then? Maybe. So we did that for a minute or two then I was like, how about we just chat Alf Ball and the Puma he punched in Oxford?

Good job I write press releases for a living, eh.

Neither did THE DEVIL'S DANCEFLOOR: Who the hell boxes a puma?

As a Cox (SEE OH EX), I feel you. Also hello!!! Any relation to John (Jack) Wannop, 1854-1923, or heritage in Crosby-on-Eden that you know of?

Sad to report that Bruisers, Boozers, Bastards and Bear Tamers didn't make the shortlist.

Did someone's dad come in and do Crime Scene Cleaner careers chat.

Hahaha 😂 The smells that come out of these cute cute creatures. Like a whole farmyard has been long dead sometimes, it's wild 🤢😂

I was vegetarian for seven years or so and she could NOT comprehend how I somehow was alive. Absolutely relentless. Certain soy was the devil. She then finally tried it and dropped four stone and reversed diabetes in weeks lol. Shock horror.

She's been yacking on about bloody iron since at least 2002 as well 😂

He pops by around once a month and does a photo op then sends pics to the local paper to try and con people into thinking he is. But there's no surgeries. No evidence he's helped people. He's mentioned us only a couple of times in Parliament in a year and a half. A facade. He thinks he's the Mayor!
