"Right, which one do you want to be, Sorrow or Joy?"

Notts County's Mr and Mrs Magpie...

It's the next installment of Catflap's mascot guide...

Dear God, where are these things from? These 'things', belong to Notts County.

So what in the blazers are they? They are Mr and Mrs Magpie, and they'd like a bit more respect if you don't mind.

Apologies. But they look like they should be in a Stephen King film. What is it? Not it, but they. They are two magpies. There has to be two you see, as one is unlucky. You know the ditty, “One for sorrow, two for..."

Yeah I get it. I just think if they'd stuck with one it would be more apt. It's hard to argue with that really...

So what are their characteristics? Well, they are big birds who walk round and speak to the kids. They usually get to away games as well.

They sound great. Do they have any special moves Erm, not really. They just walk round a lot.

I don't know why I bother. How popular are they at Meadow Lane then? I reckon a decent six out of ten.

You just can't be bothered today can you? Give me an interesting fact about them... Erm, they took part in the National Mascot Grand National. And finished it.

I give up... So do I...
