Yes I remember the worst I ever saw was Derby County.
No grass at all.
That was crackers wasn't it? Every season The Baseball Ground would become a mudbath, it was legendary. I can still picture it now on MotD or Big Match Special. Scandalous how they could get away with it and how far have grounds come since then?
 
Do they show repeats of The Flintstones in the UAE?
Dubai don't but Abu Dhabi do.

On her first day she is informed by the Mother Superior that she can speak only two words every 12 months.
At he end of the first year the MS tells her to speak.
"Uncomfortable beds."
End of 2nd year.
"Bad food".
3rd year.
"Want out."
MS: "Can't say I'm surprised because you've nothing but grumble ever since you've been here".
 
A bloke took 2 stuffed dogs to the Antiques Roadshow.

"Sticks" the bloke replied.
