No problem. Best of luck.

What's a 'potential' banana skin?
Either it's a banana skin, or it's not.

A potential banana skin must be a banana flower. It has the potential to become a banana but might not.

Trust this helps.

This game is both a potential banana skin and a chance to sort out a few selection and new game plan familiarisation.

As for the team, I want Bent to become successful and for Ince to reach his potential. I want Martin to get us his customary 20 plus goals and for Hendrick to command the midfield, I want Hughes to thread through his passes and also to score a few. I want to see Fossie or Olsson flying down the wing and putting in some great crosses. I want Christie to do the same and for both of them to put in a great defensive shift. Bryson to run like a Duracell powered bunny but with brains. I want us to discover a great holding mf player until George comes back.

You forgot to mention 'Keogh OUT'

Are you talking about the man appointed as our captain again 666?

Good point.

Did you know that there has never been a recorded incident of someone 'slipping on or over a banana skin'? I've tried it but failed miserably. I did slip over once and did ACL in. That hurt.

I have slipped on a banana skin and they are very slippy. Didn't hurt myself though. No one there to record it though even though it was in the days of mobile phones which apparently capture every incident of this type.

Charlie Chaplin was the master of the banana skin gag: his advice was to first show the banana skin, then show a fat person, let's call him "666", approaching said banana skin, then show the banana skin and 666 together and then, just as you are getting ready to split your sides at the sight of 666 going fatarse over fattit he spots the banana skin at the last second, steps over it and down an open manhole. Obviously in 666's case he would get wedged half way down with potential for further hilarity, for example a passing car spraying him with muddy water, a dog cocking its leg on him, etc.

But this is just an apocryphal story from you, so it doesn't count.

Practically every banana eaten today is descended from a plant cultivated at Chatsworth House, The Cavendish Banana.
So, the skins aside, Derbyshire has bananas to be proud of.

Do you know why manhole covers are circular, as apposed to rectangular?

No, do you?

Yes. Yes I do.

I bet 666 has a big manhole. May explain why he never showers in public.

The reason manhole covers are circular is so that they will fit the manhole itself. The question should be why the manhole is circular. Happily I also know the answer to that question.

Also, if 666 was wedged in a circular manhole you could place a pasty just out of his reach. That would be quite funny.

Nope. I'll allow another guess.

Not all manholes are circular, some are square and some rectangular.

No guess required if you know the answer. The reason the manhole cover is circular is so that it fits the manhole, as I said. The reason that both are circular is so that the heavy lid does not fall on the head on somebody down the manhole.

If you had a rectangular manhole with a rectangular cover, and a slim, toned individual like Spart had climbed down there for whatever reason, then somebody would be able to turn the cover diagonally and drop it on his head. This would be tragedy as opposed to the comedy of 666 wedged in the hole.
