It could very well be the amount of electrical activity inside the stadium and being in an ‘enclosed’ space?

I reckon the Sunderland game might be pulled to a 12.30 kick off

ClaretDiver

Sublime!

I already do a four day week albeit 7-5, works for me as I can always pull an overtime shift and have my weekend! So 37.5 hour working week in 4 days! Easy!

Good morning from a hot and sunny Costa Rica! Just having breakfast then grab a pint and watch the Clarets, hopefully, demolish Preston!! UTC!

Have you met the Mauritius Burnley fan who used to come on here? (If he's still with us).

DaveManu wasn’t it from memory?

4, lower half of table but above relegation places…

Game over to be fair!

When I worked at Sky we were told that we had to fill in a form if any Sky subscriber mentioned that they used IPTV etc….did I ever fill one in….not a chance!!

A few years ago, I had a persistent cough, and after hearing a radio advert advising people to see the doctor because it could be cancer and I had this cough for months, I went in. I sat down, and he listened to my chest Doctor - you have a bad cough Me - I know Doctor - yep Me - so? Doctor - ride ...

Any one figured out how to get the game on using sky go or similar

You can’t on SkyGo, doesn’t have the facility for red button options

ClaretDiver

Stupid question probably but on which channel?

Many years ago I had a bar in Siem Riep, Cambodia. Glitter lived a few streets over and was continuously seen around small children. He was banned from every ex-pat bar in town. Rumour has it that he actually paid a local village elder $100USD to ‘look after’ his daughter for a month….**** of the ea...

Hi ClaretDiver. I would love to take advantage of your kind offer of the Middlesbrough ticket if it's still available? I would be more than happy to make a contribution to the food bank as requested. Many thanks. It is mate, MODS, if I put my email on here how do I remove it once Emersonian has it?...

Just be aware that your ticket/seat has your name, and all your details on it.

Do be careful that it's not going to some nut job that could ruin your, otherwise impeccable, good name.

Fair comment! Would hope someone on this board would have better intentions

Morning fellow Clarets, Following on from my disastrous news yesterday that I won’t be able to attend my first game in ages due to being sick I thought I would extend a little Christmas goodwill! As I will be wrapped up warm watching VK’s Mighty Clarets against Boro on my couch I can’t met my ticket...

Dry stone walling is a tremendous skill,you only need to visit the Lakes to see what an art form it is.

My next door neighbour is genuinely a dry stone Waller, works for his cousin who has been doing it for years!

ClaretDiver

Sooo.. in the interest of Christmas goodwill and the fact I don’t want this ticket to go to waste whilst I watch VK’s Mighty Clarets pummel Middlesdross from the warmth of my sofa here in County Durham would anyone like a ticket for the game on Saturday. The only thing I ask is that you donate to th...

Its s bugger m8 🙄 I know how you are feeling (Footy wise) I missed our biggest game (Rovers in November) due to being ill (Got accused on here by the fantasist ppp of not actually going to any games because I posted on here whilst being ill) A m8 used my season ticket 👍 Hope you get better soon bud...

ClaretDiver, I wish you a speedy return to full health

Thank you!! I shall be back in the New Year for a match!

ClaretDiver

So…after finally thinking I could get down to a game and get back on the Turf after so long I am sick…..

I have a ticket for the game in the North Stand….do you have to change the name for someone to use it???

I am so bloody gutted I can’t make it….

TIA, CD

Something special is happening here!

Thanks CD. I had a reoccurence of my 2009 cancer but a brutal combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy zapped it. I have an annual endoscopy now. No problems so far! Champion, have a fantastic Christmas and here is to more points on the board, especially against Boro, my first time back on the ...

Patient Transport is a vital component in the NHS infrastructure. Five years ago I had an ultrasound scan in Newcastle. They don"t have the equipment in Cumbria. I couldn't drive myself because sedation was compulsory. The late mrs lakedistrict wasn't well enough to drive me. Ok, I could probably h...

Give over, Iam asking a genuine question, to find out who it is that's going on strike There are people employed as patient transfer drivers, taking people to and from hospital for appointments And there are fully trained paramedics who drive ambulances So no, Iam not trying to hit a nerve, and the...

are you purposefully trying to hit a nerve? there are various levels of paramedics and ambulance technicians -all of which would take offence at being called a "driver"

Uneducated! Not you Zlatan!

Out of interest, are you a trained paramedic, or employed as a driver?

I am Patient Transport, Scheduled Care

ClaretDiver

Sack all those that strike and replace them with the military or replace them with illegal immigrants who want to work (necessary qualifications, can't be difficult to become a train driver or a nurse) and who would be grateful of the job and pay packet. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That’s...

ClaretDiver

Just been informed we are going on strike on 21st and 28th December

ClaretDiver

Absolutely, nurses pay is shocking for what they do. I’m on minimum wage and I daily transport ‘prescious cargo’ to and from their appointments for things ranging from outpatients through to chemo etc, all we are asking for is a fair wage for what we do…I have had 2 patients die on my vehicle in th...

ClaretDiver

For those that are standing behind the rail strikes, are you also standing behind the nurses and ambulance staff?

ClaretDiver

Also, from a broadcasting perspective, a single broadcaster can time broadcasts better??

Package rights to group games I suspect!

Not sure how finishing second gives a better route anyway.

That’s what I mean…..it befuddles me that fans believe it does….

ClaretDiver

Beat USA tonight and we are through so that means we can weigh up whether to play reserves against Wales. Finishing 2nd behind Iran may be the best route, that will be made clearer by the Wales match. Hard to see Iran getting past us on GD though. I never understand this….finish second, better rout...

Had both just recently, felt a little rough off the covid jab the day after and a bit of a sore arm from the flu jab but both nothing serious!

ClaretDiver

If so then that’s appalling for that line of work - sorry. The point is here isn’t to hate on poor sods at Boohoo because of your poor payment, it’s more that you should use that anger (collectively as a union) to demand a salary to rise in line with inflation - because in real terms over the past ...

At £10/hour, that equates to a yearly salary of £20,800

After deductions for Tax/NI etc that’s a take home wage of £18,166.40 (changed in November - prior would be £18,063.52) which equates to £349.36 a week

That’s as much as I get driving an ambulance!!!

Got my stepsons (Newcastle fan) 30th tonight and a full Christmas Dinner tomorrow for the youngest stepdaughter who is heading back to Australia on Tuesday!!
