Does anybody know if the club are planning on doing the Mother's Day carvery at the Turf this year? They've done it the last couple of years and it's always been busy.

My mum really enjoys it and wants to go again, but I can't see any mention of it online.

Boxing Day 2018, 1-5 vs Everton

This for me. It was the first league game that I took my Blackburn-born, football hating girlfriend (now wife) on. I was sure it’d put her off the Turf for life. She’s now a massive Clarets fan. Not sure how that happened.

Swear I just heard someone in the crowd shout ‘Nice @rse Leno’

Good memories of having my first illegal pints in the Carlton. Used to go in at lunch when I was at Burnley College.

JoeAM89

It’s a complete shambles. The guy in front of me in the queue at half time asked for a Wainwrights and got served an actual pint of froth. I’m not even exaggerating. It was just pure froth. Obviously he didn’t accept it.

Led Zeppelin & Pink Floyd.

No doubt some will say that neither are overrated.

I totally agree with that, but unfortunately there isn't a thread titled "Vastly Overrated things"

Pink Floyd. Definitely.

Led Zep. Definitely not!

I work on Burnley Bridge Business Park and it was a massive pain in the @rse getting out yesterday. Cba with it for the next 5 plus weeks.

I’m a bit annoyed. Bought a Now month’s subscription and I can’t access games on the red button

Anyway…

COME ON YOU CLARETS!

If you scroll to the bottom of the page on Now TV, you should see a section called Bonus Streams. You’ll find the game there.

Still my favourite ever Burnley player

Stafford North is known as "the beautiful lake" in my house .....decent Costa,where they used to have the newspapers to read, and a Greggs

I do enjoy that lake!

Heaton. My favourite ever Burnley player.

If you’re on Instagram or TiKTok, might be worth following an account called oneminutebeerreview - he does some good reviews of beers, mainly craft

JoeAM89

Yes! One of my favourites that one. Love the show.

Packets of puffs

My god, forgot all about puffs. The worst, but also the greatest ‘crisps’ of all time.

I used to have nightmares about that diving pool. Terrified me!

I will second the shout for NWR Properties too. They fitted our new combi a year or two ago and they were first class. Also, when we had ours done, the council had a scheme where they gave us 250 quid towards the cost of a new boiler, eiligible for any 2 or 3 bed house. Not sure if they still offer...

JoeAM89

I upgraded from an old conventional boiler to a combi boiler and the shower pressure almost doubled. Just watch out for problems with old pipe work. The old boiler was much more tolerant of low pressure in the water pipes whereas the combi was not happy at all. It transpired that we had a lot of le...

JoeAM89

The pressure in your shower with a conventional system is dependent on the height of the header tank in the attic so it must be quite low down, you could look to increase its height which is a cheaper option, next cheapest is electric showers but by the time you've paid for shower,plumber and elect...

Would you suffer with drops in pressure if taps, or other washer/dishwasher to be used?

Yeah I believe so, but I’m used to that as I’m lived in houses with combi boilers pretty much my whole life. Would rather deal with that than the situation we have now.

Think the plumber at work is right, not sure why you need a top of the range combi boiler though, unless you’ve got a very large house.

It’s just a regular sized, 3 bed house. He mentioned something about this boiler having the best warranty and being able to produce the best flow rate.

Not quite sure why the boiler would have to go upstairs though?

That’s something that I’m a bit confused about too. Maybe it’s something to do with it being on the same floor as the showers?

Think your plumber has given you the best advice to be honest.

I was hoping somebody would say that!

JoeAM89

Hoping somebody on here can give me a bit of advice as I’m clueless when it comes to plumbing. I’ve just moved into a house up Harle Syke which has a conventional boiler (boiler downstairs, cylinder upstairs and water tank in the attic). The water pressure in the showers (main and en suite) is terri...

Great news! That deteriorating Ladbrokes building has been an eyesore for too long.

I renewed mine today. All went through fine and then I got an email about an hour later saying it had been cancelled! Anybody else get that? I’ve emailed to find out what’s going on.

Has the one up BurnleyWood gone down hill? Used to make a point of visiting whenever I was in town. Always exceptional compared to Wiltshire offerings.. Brown Lea chippy was always a school lunch treat, I think that might have been more the buzz of sneaking out of school. Proper rebels. If you mean...

IF you have always been Xbox then absolutely because all of your purchases on the old xbox models you can play on the new version and possibly upgraded to 4k and 60-120 FPS

Yeah good point! I know getting a Series X is the sensible decision. Just need to wait for stock now

JoeAM89

I managed to get hold of one of these and its massively different and better than the Xbox oneX. Anyone else got 1, or any Xbox for that matter? At lockdown times it would be good to get together in a few games when there is nothing to do, I haven't really dabbled in groups for multiplayer and play...

Interesting read but sad to hear about the situation in Burnley. Although a few years ago there was no meaningful nightlife in Rawtenstall and now it is thriving (or at least was pre-pandemic) with a great mix of pubs and bars, so I'm sure things can turnaround in Burnley too Interesting you say th...

Yeah I thought the same, still be gutted if its shut for good though. No activity on their Facebook page since September which isn't a good sign. Aye you’d think they’d be flooding their page with positive messages if they were planning to reopen. Can’t see the Coach & Horses across the road openin...

Has that been confirmed? I was saying to a mate the other night that I’d be surprised if The Talbot ever opened again.

Last time I went in Smacks on our works Xmas do last year they were just playing the same generic cheesy music you get in virtually every other bar.

They were only playing indie stuff in the downstairs bar pre-COVID. It’s a bit of a joke of a bar/club now.

JoeAM89

I remember when Thursdays and Sundays were still packed. I think it was around 2008-2009 that things started to go downhill. I loved Burnley in 08/09. My favourite pub/club route was Bridge, Walkabout, Pharaohs (for a shot at the shot bar), Smacks, Sanctuary. Was always busy on Thursdays and Sunday...

Flats or gym would certainly be better than another club.

Yeah there’s no way of a nightclub of that size could sustain itself in Burnley anymore

JoeAM89

I’ve just walked past and seen a load of scaffolding up and builders inside doing work. Anybody know what they’re turning it in to? I remember there was talk of turning it into flats and a gym a few years back.

JoeAM89

I've just heard that somebody has been stabbed in M&S in Burnley. Terrifying if true. Anybody know what's going on?

JoeAM89

This is truly awful.

Heard this week that it’s now under new management. Big job modernising that place! Good luck to them

What sets Birchalls apart from the supermarkets is the quality of the meat. They do a 7 piece mixed grill pack for £4.91, which has absolutely flown out.

I went in on a Saturday night a couple of weeks ago and it was absolutely dead. In fact, I’ve never seen it busy apart from on match days. The owners have got so many things wrong in my opinion; no real ales, expensive prices for rubbish lager, no sky sports, no live bands or themed nights, curtains...

Right opposite Manchester Road station is a pub called The Star. Nice people good food excellent breakfast at weekends and a carvery from 12 o’clock. I will be there for food and a beer or two before the match. It’s a family pub and quite a few supporters home and away get in there. Wherever you go...
