On attending a match at HUFC
'I felt as if I was entering a family for the first time.'

Unfortunate choice of phrasing, Peter...

No, it's only unfortunate because you're thinking of the quote comically.

Think about it without trying to make a joke and actually that is a top quote there from his Lordship, exactly how I feel as a Pools fan and how most people about what a great thing football is.

Thing is, Mr Kent, the phrase is unfortunate because it makes one think of the quote comically.

However I agree it's one of Peter's more endearing remarks....perhaps his only endearing remark ever.........depending, of course, on his motive for saying it.

The double meaning does make it a great witty quote, I agree.

Katcha,
You are in serious trouble of losing me as a buyer of your book through posting that, you know that?

...but according to your signature, a witty saying proves nothing...

I bet Col is going to be cut up at the thought of not selling that copy.

PoK will still but it. He's a good lad.
