Other times Finsbury Park came up

  1. It was fun. Space Fair. Dan was just using it as a descriptor. It was a fun fair. Not for William McKinley, but for everyone else there. It's like the fun fair down at Finsbury Park, as opposed to, you know, this massive world fair where they were showing off, you know, American industry and like Bell or whoever else was. My poor kids. Yeah. This is fun. This is fun.

  2. It's now a mark of awesomeness, both to the fan and the band, that they rocked a guy so hard that his brain spasmed, gave him an agorism. There was that thing about, was it Madness, who I think they did a thing at Finsbury Park where everyone was stumping up and down so much that they caused an earthquake, a very small earthquake. It might have been that.

  4. You've in previous World Cups called out on Twitter to say, can we swap Panini stickers? Let's not put this on the podcast. No, no, I do. I do do stickers. You live in North London, don't you, in Finsbury Park? You love people to approach you with football stickers. Did you always do Panini? Because they weren't... We did a different one when we were kids.
