One hundred up. Some achievement for two miserable so-and-soโ€™s, confined in a room or hours on end, griping and gloating about Fantasy football.

I darenโ€™t calculate the hours spent gazing into the beardy face of my Mancunian counterpart, or the minutes wasted while he moans about points on the bench. Equally, I doubt heโ€™s recalling the hours heโ€™s listened to me talk about Aleks Kolarov, Victor Moses or how my latest points hit will steer me to glory. Instead, weโ€™ll look back fondly and remember the many, many good times.

Tonightโ€™s special podcast includes a clip from the very first pilot show, Granvilleโ€™s first, and some would say, last, attempt at ScoutCast humour. Thatโ€™s followed by a flood of reminiscing, as Granville pinpoints some of his favourite episodes, while I see through my fixation with beating Last of the Summer Wine by checking out how they celebrated their own century of episodes, with depressingly predictable results.

Of course the regulars play their part, including the Professor and his Rate My Team computer and another stellar showing from the โ€œFull Jontyโ€, this week featuring one of our very top managers in the community. Depressing stuff for a host just coming off the back of a red arrow.

Like Granville says, however, this is a time for celebrating. Hereโ€™s to the 100 and the next century to come.

Raise a glass to the turn of the century via this link, or stream the party spirit via the player below.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

                If you look at the top scores, home or away hasn't made a massive difference. What are the chances of him actually taking a pen too, they aren't very common

                  true, but i think playing at home is always a slight advantage. but ya, i have no idea, this is a tough one. they'll probably get 2 pts each and i would've lost my hair over nothing

        used to be a regular but not sure if he's around so much anymore. he is/was usually on during more normal hours though

            didn't realized he was within the top 1k! ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

            will definitely be tough but I relish the opportunity. had LR and Evs and tied for first with evs on points (came second due to GD) so i'm not afraid of these top players, but it will definitely be difficult.

            hardest part is i'll be out of town for the second leg, and i'm not sure how often i'll be able to get on the internet... ๐Ÿ˜•

    I've been playing guitar for about 10 years, and I too have a Tanglewood, a 12 string acoustic... wasn't able to bring my electric Ibanez RG1570 prestige across with me to Australia since it was way too heavy in the case...

        10 years... I couldn't afford one normally, but when I went to Uni in '02, I had a shit load of money from the first installment of my student loan so naturally the first thing I did was go out and spend it all at once... ๐Ÿ˜€

        My first guitar was pretty cheap and nasty... a Westfield, for about 129 pounds... I tried to get student discount by waving my ID card at the guy.. he just kinda sighed and said "OK, I'll throw in this electric tuner, this bag and some plectrums for free.."

          Cool, I panic if I don't have a plectrum near me at all times, I constantly keep at least 2 in my jean pocket, that little pocket inserted into the bigger pocket...I've never been sure what that's for...but I use it for plecks...

          My first guitar was an SX, I think that was the make...it was the most rubbish acoustic...it was big and fat and cumbersome, but I made good use of it. I think the fact it was so awkward made me better at playing because it was sort of uncomfortable and crap. It really got my fingers strong too if that makes sense. Anyway, since I've got my tanglewood it's been bliss playing it...nothing like the sound of a newly stringed guitar too...ohhh yeah ๐Ÿ™‚

            Ah I love the sound of new strings, which reminds me, I haven't changed my strings for over a year now, not one single snapped string... ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

            Time for a change soon, me thinks...

            I know exactly what you mean.. I always carry my favourite purple Jim Dunlop plectrum with me with my loose change... I love flicking it through my fingers in moments of contemplation... I also like to carry a pen and paper everywhere I go, cos you never know when you get these moments of pure creativity and the idea for a song pops into your head...

            The tips of my fingers have long since toughened... I can stick a pin in my fingertips and probably wouldn't feel it... but I fondly remember the times when my fingers bled trying to get used to the toughness of the steel strings...

              You know, it's funny, I used to not be able to go a day without snapping a string...it was so annoying...I even snapped my low E a few times from just bashing it too hard...that's actually pretty hard to do...I was so confused what I was doing wrong...but lately I manage to break any strings, unless it's accidentally when retuning things...such a horrible feeling when you snap one...grrr!

              I prefer soft plecks personally, you? oh and I am exactly the same, moments of contemplation call for a bit of pleck play ๐Ÿ˜€

              Man, remember those days when you could barely hold a chord because it was too sore? It was so odd, it felt like you'd never get it right...I felt I just wasn't cut out but then I finally got the hang of it and my fingers became tough as nails ๐Ÿ˜Ž

              Do you write a lot? Not many people know it about me but I write constantly, I'd say I have at least 500 songs I've written...oh if only I could work up the courage to do something with them one day ๐Ÿ˜€

                Dude that's awesome, I would love to hear some of your stuff...

                I have written over 100 songs... and have recorded 2 albums... but a lot of my songs don't make the grade... I'm either unhappy with them or they're just not good enough...

                In recent years my songwriting capability has come on leaps and bounds, when I look back at what I was writing about 5-6 years ago, there is such a stark contrast.. so all I can say is to keep at it, you will definitely get better...

                Like you, I am writing something or just playing around with melodies and chords almost every day trying to find my next piece of inspiration...

                Music and singing/songwriting is my biggest passion, man...

                Unfortunately I have to go to work now, but we will definitely continue with this conversation... so much more to to talk about... If you like I can share some of my stuff with you... I can send it through email or something... and you can give me some feedback... I'd appreciate that...

                  Good stuff Zep, must continue this chat next time! I'd love to hear your stuff dude, never knew you were so into all that. I guess struggling songwriters like ourselves gravitate towards FPL in our time off ๐Ÿ˜€

                  I'll send you a cover I did that I put up on youtube if you like so you can hear what I sound like ๐Ÿ˜€
