There will be no ‘Sound of Music’ or ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ on TV this year. It has been decided that they may be offensive to families of singing moppets who didn’t make it to Switzerland, or who still languish in the clutches of the Vulgarian authorities. Oh, and for all you war movie fans, sorry, but no ‘The Great Escape’ either. Well, not everyone got...

Charlton will be hoping to maintain the recent positive momentum in tonight’s fixture versus Bristol Rovers at The Valley; a thumping of MK Dons in the last home match was replicated in effort if not the result on Saturday in Somerset, where, but for Sam Sodje’s sending off, three points would surely have been won. Phil Parkinson will need to make at least one change to his side, due to...

Yeovil Town 1 Charlton Athletic 1 When you think back at this game, it was an incredible match. Ten-man Charlton fought back from being a man and a goal behind at half-time and won a single point that could oh-so-nearly have been all three; it was a Herculean effort. As predicted, the weather in Somerset was pretty foul; a howling wind that blew straight down the ground and heavy rain for most of the...

The Train Kept A Rolling: The trip to see Motorhead in Plymouth last Wednesday was a delight. Bearing in mind the new advert on TV asking us to drive 5 miles a week less to cut down on the CO2 emissions, we met them half way with Mrs. B dropping me off 2.5 miles closer to home at our doorstep station of Hamworthy Junction for the 12.42, rather than from the main station in Poole. At Dorchester South...

This weekend's first ever visit to Huish Park promises to be a classic away game and I am already looking at the weather forecast for the week and fretting that we could see it postponed due to a water-logged pitch if the downpour continues as promised. We need this game to go ahead as we aim to capitalise on the feel-good factor recreated by Saturday's battling display. Hot on the heels of our five-star...

In this piece David Keen , who is a Vicar in Yeovil and writes regularly for my Wardman Wire political site, gives an account of a local controversy in the Somerset town of Somerton, which has lead to a number of resignations from the Town Council.

Drat, I go away for a few days break, and Somerset springs to life. Somerton is about 12 miles north of Yeovil, nice little place, with plenty of character, and some good local churches. Last week most of the town council walked out. Why? Initial reports suggested that it was all the work of one lone local blog (Muck & Brass), and that they'd got fed up with his criticism of the council. Some of...
