That second CB position was the one I struggled with the most. No obvious choice. Frank Sinclair was the other I was considering. Possibly swayed by the fact I would have only been about 5 years old when he was at his best at Chelsea and so don’t remember it too well! Sinclair was a decent player i...

Perhaps we might have ultimately got better value and a better player, had we shopped abroad, with a similar amount of money to spend. It would appear that despite our in-depth knowledge of players local to us, that it still doesn’t guarantee us acquiring a ‘good egg’. OK, it’s with hindsight, but i...

Hendrick would be quite a big miss. He's one of the only players in the squad who can comfortably play in multiple positions. We'd definitely miss that versatility I think that sums it up. He’s not the greatest player but his versatility is vital. I’d be very happy if he stayed but perhaps a little...

Is a butter pie just potatoes in a pie!? :shock: That sounds bloody awful, and dry! I know they used to sell them at the ground but I never had one. Why is it not just a potato pie? The meat and potato pies (at the time of the butter pies) should have been renamed - a splash of gravy and a couple of...

Cheers. Yeah the pro look like they will fit my ears a lot better, but ideally I don't want any kind of noise cancelling because I'll just be using in the office. Worth noting that you can switch between three different modes, so they don’t have to be noise cancelling. It’s quite a strange effect w...

Seen people double your age in Ibiza! Not watched the series yet but hoping for a safe return to the island at some point soon.

Does anyone have experience of the apple airpods - are they a different shape to the wired earphones you get with the phone?

My mate (we're both 39) made the very good point recently that we're the last generation who had to dress up to go out. Lemon btton-down Ralph Lauren shirt (from Tesco!), black suit pants, shiny black Frank Wright shoes with buckle. Man alive. I still see the odd person going out dressed like that....

DCWat, seems we're both old timers then. In my case, not bad being a gimmer whilst under the age of 40.

As Large says, teens / early 20's will enjoy it, who think that is what Ibiza is/was actually like.

43!!! Definitely an old timer when it comes to that scene

How old are the above posters who have given it a negative review above i wonder? Never seen ibiza... As an Ibiza veteran (if there is such a thing) I can testify that White Lines is pretty unrepresentative of Ibiza. As a series it was an OK, if a somewhat bizarre watch. There were certainly some f...

How many years did it run for?

Looking at old footage, it seemed to be from more mainstream nightclubs. Later on though, it tapped into the rave scene - an odd mix having Sasha playing in a club with Pete Waterman not having a clue what any of the songs being played were.

If some are rare, it may be worth having a look online to get an idea of their value, before attempting to sell them. There’s a decent market for vinyl, new shops popping up in towns and cities (or there were before the **** hit the fan) which may be good placed to sell, but as I say, best to try an...

Do Linn turntables make a big difference to the sound? I presume you've have to get comparable speakers, stylus, amp etc. to get the moist of your system.

I do wonder if they might consider something like this for games, whilst crowds are not allowed in. It wouldn’t be too difficult, I’d assume, to string together sounds from previous games - though of course you couldn’t get crowd responses to on pitch events in real time. It’d surely be better than ...

I’d happily let the club have the cash, as long as I will be able to view the games on TV, which as a season ticket holder and SKY subscriber, wouldn’t seem to be too much of an ask.

I’m not sure he’d be top of Villa’s wish list given the style of football he’s now known for playing. Whether or not he is more adaptable with a bigger budget, remains to be seen. I’d hoped that given a few years in the premier, he’d have been able to develop our play a little more. Sadly, it seems ...

For me, I’ll judge him as much on his ability to praise appropriately, support the government where necessary, and how he picks his battles.

That in itself would be a step forward for British politics (on both sides).

Big difference between a great singer and a great front man. Plenty great front men haven’t been great singers and I include Jagger in that - Oasis are a prime example.

The only reason doors didn’t need to be locked back then, in London or elsewhere, is that nobody had anything worth nicking. The dewy eyed love in for the Krays, Richardson’s etc. is nonsensical.

We have an outdated method of watching football. If you subscribe for sports you're only able to watch what THEY decide you can watch.

The economy is a certainly a hugely significant factor. For now though, it’s rightly lower in the pecking order.

Stupidity? The young, perhaps, want to take their chance from a disease which (for them) is little more serious than flu. Usually. The old, perhaps, want to live a little more before they die.

Well, we'd best hope for something in the way of vaccine then because, in my view, there will be a point in not too long where the population decides that hiding under a rock is not much fun and we'd be better just getting on with it and taking our communal chances.
