Amongst all the carnage about us, the Queen is that constant. Serenity is not the word - Majesty - that's the one.

Thank you your Majesty.

I agree, she's such a wonderful lady. God Save the Queen.

ABBA were ridiculed by some back in the day, turns out their music is timeless, Funny innit?

From what I've been reading from reliable sources, a cheap or home made mask is of minimal protection, but possibly better than nothing. However the attached video explain quite clearly the best way to avoid this nasty virus.

exileincanada, had you moved away from 555 before Jimmy Adamson moved into 557. JA had previously lived on Deerpark Rd.

To be honest I can't answer that truthfully, the memory is blurry. To the best of my knowledge my Mum bought 555 from Burnley Football Club.

Yes I grew up àt 359 and went to school with Adam's youngest daughter

We lived at 349, before moving up the road to 555.

Is my memory correct that Adam Blacklaw had the newsagents at the corner of Rimington Ave & Brunshaw Road before he became a pub landlord? That's correct. The time line is a bit blurry, but wasn't that paper shop once owned by a Mr Mullins, he had a daughter called Angela, if memory serves. Not sur...

I was in Boeing at Sheffield (Rotherham) last week, it’s still a bit quiet in there but no concerns around the 737 Max being back in the sky within the next 6 months. Allowing the 737 Max 8 to fly is one thing, persuading the paying public to board it is another. Not to mention the possible massive...

Boeing are building a 75 seater called Boom that will be able to travel at Mach 2.2. Problem they are having is getting it to be environmentally friendly.

First order of business will be to get out of the 737 Max 8 debacle they created for themselves.

Concorde did visit the Toronto Air Show a couple times back in the day, quite a sight to see, for sure. I'm surprised a modern version hasn't been built, I would imagine the market is there.

Maybe you're confusing him with Jeffrey Epstein?

Brilliant game to watch! Hammers gave 'Pool a game, but 'Pool did what they've been doing all season long.......never gave up

And the icing on the cake is it kept West Ham down there

Someone bumps into you and it's you who apologises.

That's a typical Canadian trait, we do have a reputation of being polite, probably over-polite at times.

If memory serves, wasn't Greaves known as a 'baby liner' back in the day? From that video, he was much more than that!

I had a rattle, rosette, bobble cap and of course the obligatory scarf. Well decked out

No big deal. It's within the operational limits of the aeroplane and operating to those limits is what the pilot gets his over-inflated salary for. At a guess I'd say the A380 is less affected by gusts than smaller aeroplanes because of its huge mass. I would disagree with your ‘over- inflated sala...

As for not receive a reply, where did you send your request? It definitely hasn’t been received.

I used admin@uptheclarets.com. If that’s incorrect, what’s the correct contact info?

exilecanada

How do I go about sending a private message? I did contact admin a few days ago asking the same question, haven't received a reply.

Thanks in advance.

Move along, nothing to see here! What's betting the ban will be reduced to a token fine and a slap on the wrist after the appeal is heard?

ExileinCanada, if you had ginger hair and I think called Paul, who lived in Fulledge, I was stood next to you, when you were hit, smack on the back your head, by a empty half whisky bottle.

Damn small world! That would be me, although it was my Grandfather who lived on Mitella St.

exilecanada I was at those three games as well but I don't remember seeing you there. :D That’s strange, I didn’t see you either, or maybe you were stood next to me!!…..... :lol: I don’t suppose you were at the BFC/Fulham FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park, Mar ’62, attendance 59,989? I was, albeit no...

I`ll raise you on the baseball match ! I've been a few times to watch The Blue Jays including in the season they won the world series for the first time and I did quite enjoy it. The last time I went was 3 or 4 years ago and it ended up breaking records for the longest match....and it was painfully...

Ps. Either cricket or baseball is my 2nd sport. Love baseball - of course it helps to have a team to follow (I'm a massive Blue Jays fan) I’m a big baseball fan as well, Blue Jays are also my team, not surprising considering I’m in SW Ontario and Blue Jays are the only Canadian team. We did have Mo...

Brian O'Neil's sliding tackles were worthy of the entrance fee alone.. Can't find any pics though. Our Brian didn't take many prisoners :lol: Covered in mud from head to toe, with the angelic look of "who me?" after he'd almost taken the opponents feet off by the ankles.....priceless. Happy days :D

I wouldn't have thought he would need the money, but can you really see him leaving the lovely Spanish climate and lifestyle to come to Manchester. I hope he does of course.

A few suitcases full of legal tender may sway his decision

Where do you play exile ? Going to Crown Isle on Vancouver Island at end of April. Sadly caddying not playing ! Well, I'm in SW Ontario, currently minus 7 and snow covered, so I won't get out until mid/late April at best :lol: Although I may get a couple rounds in when I go to Montego Bay, Jamaica ...

And the winning team was probably crowned 'World Champions'

I'd go on Central League games often back in the day, was excellent for autograph hunting. Quite often the opposition would field well known players, either coming back from injury or been dropped from the 1st team for some reason.

40 will be the absolute minimum requirement this season,and........if we don't pick up 3 tomorrow, the decent first half could go south in an awful hurry. One has to think Norwich are toast, the other two occupants are a crap shoot.

A nice dinner with a friend, a few glasses of wine while watching a couple of movies. Definitely be in the sack before midnight, Burnley game is an early start this side of the pond, 7:30 our time!

Escaped Vancouvers cold for a bit of sun. Cold in Vancouver? Ya right, you 'left coasters' don't know what cold is :D It's currently +6 here in Southern Ontario, quite balmy for this time of year. I have no clue how those in 'Winterpeg' (Winnipeg to the uninitiated) handle minus a zillion Celsius. ...

Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year from Southern Ontario.

Minus 7 Celsius at the moment, not a cloud in the sky, lovely morning

Only watched the second half but it was obvious Southgate changed his defensive strategy possibly to protect Pope from having to play out from the back. From what I saw there was nary a back pass to Pope. Popey is a far better shot stopper than Pickford, but Pickford is head and shoulder s above Pop...

The way Westwood delivers them corners it must be horrific for a goalie. Westwood has got those corners down to fine art, must be nightmare to defend. ‘Bashley’ also has it down pat, how he dances around to distract the goalie. The opposition know it’s coming, more power to Dyche and his crew in ma...
