Mr grandparents were the mayor and mayoress when it was opened. Can see them on the film at the opening ceremony.

Brilliant. Is that them on the film posted earlier in the thread?

If I remember rightly, the big pool was shallow at both ends and deep in the middle.

How long has it been gone now? The only date I do know, roughly, is my GP moved into the new St. Peter's Centre in 2006 or 2007.

It was 2006 although it doesn't feel that long ago.

Central Baths behind the town hall for me when I was at primary school and then Gannow when I was at senior school. Last time I was in Gannow Baths it was a church so I reckon they must have been OK for baptisms with the main pool still there. Thompson Centre was brilliant, something many bigger to...

Film about the planning and construction of the centre.Sound is a bit hit & miss but some great footage.

Excellent stuff. Thanks for that.

My youngest daughter is off to St Peter's today with school for her swimming lesson. It reminded me of my swimming lessons at the Thompson Centre when I was her age. I loved going there with the big pool, the baby pool and seeing the diving pool, which never seemed to get used. I also did Judo, Badm...

Jigsaw Puzzle Blues - B side of Albatross - Fleetwood Mac.

Great tune. I transcribed and played that at my interview to get into college to do A Level music.

Wouldn't be as good as seeing Messi though!

You realise that 1980 and 2021 are as far apart as 1980 and 1939.

Anarkali.
10 minutes drive from Rawtenstall at the old Farmer's Glory.
Been there 3-4 times and never disappointed.

Another vote here for Anarkali. The owners are lovely people as well!

Music theory is understanding the elements that make up a piece of music. For instance, these would include pulse, rhythm. pitch, dynamics, melody, harmony, texture , tone, timbre etc. I suspect art theory would look at similar elements but someone who knows more about art than I do would be able to...

A handful of emptyheaded yobs and goons farting around on twitter can come in very handy to bury the penalty shambles on Sunday. Rashford is working hard to market himself as a product..as with Beckham etc...anything that shifts attention from that shambolic minuet cakewalk he performed on Sunday w...

I can smell the Calor Gas heater just from looking at that photo!
Used to go in there most afternoons on my way home from school when I was about 14/15.

This is not maths though is it. It's a lack of measuring ability. It's a common fault amongst professional players as you can see when they are asked to go back ten yards. How do foreign footballers say someone is offside? Kilometres, meters? Ten yards is 9.15 meters by the way. The penalty spot is...

Remember it vividly. I was at university in Salford studying music. We had been in the recording studios in the basement of the university building when the bomb went off and didn’t hear a thing despite just being a fairly short walk away from the city centre. The first we knew about it was when we ...

The Queen’s Silver Jubilee. Remember walking from our house on Williams Rd to Burnley General Hospital with my mum to get a check up when she was expecting my brother and seeing bunting everywhere.

Brilliant - and I'm sure you enjoyed seeing your mum and dad more than the match.

It was lovely and a change of plan from our usual Skype call after we’d seen the weather forecast. The match was the icing on the cake! Loved reading those stats in your report.

Sunday was a special day. Had my mum and dad round in the garden for the first time since the first lockdown due to us having to shield. They came over extra early to get back home in time for the match due and I said I’m actually looking forward to the game. The win and the actual performance was s...

Maybe Tarkowski could’ve laid down on the floor next to Podence giving him a cuddle making sure he was okay until help arrived.

I think that it would be a step too far for the powers that be to do away with it altogether but a change to make it that a player is offside only if there is clear daylight between the attacker and defender would be a great move. The only problem with that is the arguments would then shift as to w...

The world would be a much better place without social media. Too many idiots using those platforms.

You do realise that you just posted this comment on social media don’t you?

Think I read somewhere that they used natural lighting for all of the filming to give it a realistic feel. Great film.

I said this on another thread, Long plays well with Pope behind him organising the defence.

Can you imagine the likes of Martin Johnson or Mako Vunipola screaming like a baby on dislocating a shoulder? These overpaid, pansy footballers need to 'man-up'. Or is that term in breach of their human rights? ;) Hull's Joe Westerman dislocates his knee... and knocks it back into pace :o https://w...

Long plays well with Pope in goal.

I say this a lot but I love watching the way we defend. We are so organised.

Just had an enjoyable walk listening to yesterday afternoon's live commentary on Radio 5 via BBC Sounds.

I'm not sure if it's still available but the 12+ hour series on the first world war was absolutely fascinating.

I looked for it recently on the podcasts app but couldn’t find it. It’s pretty amazing how just one bloke talking can be so engaging. Dan Carlin certainly knows his stuff!

On the topic of Subbuteo, I always liked the fact that one set of players could be several teams. I had Burnley which could also be Aston Villa, West Ham or Scunthorpe. My Norwich set was also Sampdoria.
