HUGE BUBBLE BOUNCES ACROSS THE PITCH AND ENVELOPES PATRICK – IT ROLLS OFF DOWN THE PITCH AND SCORES A "GOAL"

You're lucky I've seen both the Simpsons and Billy Connolly's World Tour of England, Ireland and Wales or I wouldn't have got it, neat little joke

Yeah, I'm probably showing my age with this one. Thanks though.

I like it

That's bizarre, but really good! Well done. Obviously they play all their games at home.

Portmeirion ROVERS - yes, that's clever.

Abzorbing. Be seeing you.

Er..you're lucky I've seen an episode of The Prisoner.

Certainly like the ending a lot. And the twist. Well, basically the sketch then

Somehow it would be nice to work in:

"You are not a FREE man, you cost us £50,000!"

But can't see how to fit it in. :-)

Incidentally, If you have been to Port Merion, you would find it isn't big enough to have a footbal pitch, except on the beach at low tide

Very good, so I seemed to miss it first time around.
