Kompany's stupid bloody tactics exposed yet again. We just haven't got the quality to play out from the back at this level.

As with big boys cars, electric seems to be the way to go. My mate had a couple of off-roaders and they went like stink. We have a Nitro car but it's temperamental and always seem to need new parts/mending. I can recommend Modelsport in Otley for advice and range of models. They are in the centre no...

Vaillant have a seven year warranty now, extended to ten years if you have one of their own filter magnets fitted. Vaillant enginerrs service my boiler every year and I have found them excellent.

I know there are a few Red Arrows spotters on here. Today they are due to pass over Trawden and Barrowford before a flypast at Clitheroe Food Festival and a display aroun 2pm at Blackpool airshow. Can anyone brighter than me pinpoint where to see them north of Barrowford? The co-orinates are 53 52 0...

Thanks, looks like you have the requisite skills. Get your name down. Thankless bleeding task. Local newspapers nowadays run on meagre budgets and largely cover stuff by mainly by remote control.

It is said that NORI bricks got their name because they were hard as IRON. The one problem was that the apprentice mould make got the mirror image wrong!

The English Gardens are worth a look and the tapas bars at night, but beware of some of the bar owners who are a bit crafty. They ask if you would like some cheese to go with your drink implying that it's on the house like many tapas, then they add 12 Euros to your bill. Not crime of the century stu...

Hello. We walked the dog round the other day and there are some extensive repairs/conservation work going on with much of the front elevation boarded up and a site entrance at the rear of the hall. It obviously detracts from the look of the place and I don't know what's going on inside. However, it ...

Another vote for Lucca here. It's a wonderful place. The only thing to watch out for when planning to travel by train is that they are prone to suffere from unannounced wildcat strikes. They seem to go on strike for the slightest things --like someone looking at em funny, etc.,

If they are both failing to work at home, maybe it's a case of someone nearby using an electronic device that interferes with the signal. I have heard of this being posible but never experiences it myself.

I think you will find that quite a few people who were afforded annual passes to the box have been gradually eased out as part of cost cutting or because they were considered superfluous in some way. When Bob was in charge he had half the Borough Council in there every week. He never did owt for now...

Billy Holt, the Todmorden author who rode across Europe on his horse, Trigger. I met him once (Billy and his horse) and he didn't seem too impressed. Just said that everyone called Holt who lived in the North of England claimed to be related to him!

I’m related to Sir John Cockcroft, who won the Nobel prize for splitting the atomic nucleus. Did you ever meet him?

Met him once in the restaurant at Thames TV in Teddington. Really nice bloke. He told us a tale about him and comedian/actor Bob Todd remeber the "It's beef!" ads?)

I seem to recall they had a similar "imprint" press for late news on Manchester Road, Nelson, at the main town centre bus stop, but that was years ago when I was a kid. I got a newspaper for free at Booths in Clitheroe last weeekend, but it totally missed the mark on all fronts. Glad I didn't pay th...

Can't look at him without thinking of Mrs Doubtfire! I thought he brought a breath of fresh air to Jeff Stelling's programme. Certainly better than the verbally dyslexic Morrrison and the old bore-arse Merson.

Paul Emmott at the Bosch Service Centre on Lomeshaye Industrial Estate is very good at things like that. Chances are he weill have seen the problem before, maybe several times! Generally, many main stealers are very expensive and not that good.

Asuuming you can get access for a vehicle. If you have a company car with a towball or a towing eye (or know someone who has) slice the top pf the ree off at a height of four foot (ish) attach the car to the remainder with a strong towrope or chains and pull the beggars out! Worked for me!

If you do go to see Gormley's statues of himself, watch where you walk. Went with my wife some years ago and we walked into quicksand. Ended up crawling out of it on our hands and knees and she had to go to Tesco for some new kex!

Try the Lakeside Inn on the North prom. It's reputed to be the UK's smallest pub. Last time I went the beer was excellent. Looks like an old bus shelter. You'll probably fill it!

Worst thing about that place is the lack of bar staff. Takes forever to get served.

Yep, you feel like the invisible man. There can be four of them doing nowt and they stubbornly refuse to spot you! Can get rough at weekends as well, stopped going.
