A certain Thompson of Sunderland has inscribed his name in letters six feet high on Pompey's column. It can be read a quarter of a mile off. There is no way of seeing the column without seeing the name of Thompson.

Other times Sunderland came up
The rules was, yeah, no lightering near the opponent's goal, which basically then later became the offside rule. I really like in the early days of football how things just went as people decided on the spur of the moment. There was a match in 1894 in Sunderland versus Darby County and basically the match was ready to start, except that the referee hadn't arrived because he'd missed his connecting train. So they decided, they decided to go for it anyway.

This imbecile has become part of the monument and is perpetuated with it. I saw that and then I also thought, well, let me see if I can find out who Thompson from Sunderland is. I was googling for, I spent quite a lot this morning doing this, but I tried to find people called Thompson from Sunderland around that time and what I reckon is there was a ship builder called Thompson and he started his company about 15 years before this happened.

It's sort of because of that. Because it seems that it's the brainchild of one single man who did this. It's a guy called Bill Crawford. and he was head of elections at Sunderland Council in 1992. He thought let's make Sunderland famous for always declaring first the vote. For internationalist, they always take about an hour and a half to count all the votes and it's very exciting because they win.

Perhaps the only rational method, although costly, is to replace all glass within arms rich with safety glass. No more glass for you. That's amazing. I think it might be cheaper to replace all drunk men with sober men. This was in Australia, but there was another study in Sunderland. There were only 67 patients in this one, but it was in Sunderland. England's Australia. They found that all of the people had consumed alcohol.
