Feel like treating myself.
Rather than going wandering round the aisles until I get pounced on - are there any particular makes that stand out (always think the Samsung in the White Bear, Barrowford is a cracking picture). Any particular spec to be aiming for?
Ta in advance of any suggestions.

CaptainKirk

Don't mention Post 19 to Corporal Jones!!
"Retired Police Officers in their early 50's".
No doubt the rest of us are paying their nice fat pensions for the rest of their lives.
This country is a joke sometimes.

CaptainKirk

In a couple of years time, if the Womens' footballers and cyclists are back to being hopeless, will we have an enquiry to find out what went wrong?
At least no one will be shouting at the poor dears though.

CaptainKirk

Joined in Week 2 and then forgot about it until now. Lot of catching up to do. Could you all do me a favour and not make any predictions for the next 5 or 6 weeks to even it up?

CaptainKirk

I was talking to a guy who used to work at the Imp in his student days. He had to fill in one night and operate the lights for a band as someone didn't turn up. He did all right apparently and one of the band thanked him afterward - John Lennon. He signed a poster for him for the gig. I asked him if...

CaptainKirk

We were sat in the Park End looking across at the Burnley fans enviously. It is no fun sitting on your hands when we are winning! The moaning and booing that was going on from the start was weird. Why did they expect to roll us over?? In the restaurant before the game it was a case of "how many will...

CaptainKirk

Used them many times. A bit pricey yes but always very good!
Diesel comes across as a disgruntled ex employee.

CaptainKirk

Cheers for the responses.
It is a (very) old flu which means it was definately built with real fires in mind I guess. Maybe I should get it swept first and get on site advice re a liner.

CaptainKirk

Looking to get my chimney swept and a liner fitted and buy a new wood burner and have it fitted. Any recommendations to be had?

CaptainKirk

A dying breed if ever there was one. I know the BBC and others have an agenda to increase the representation of women and also minority groups on our screens - no problem with that. It does seem to me though that they are going overboard with it. The News is almost always a woman/black woman/black m...

CaptainKirk

Anyone else noticed the mad drive by the BBC to push womens' football at every opportunity? I think they may be trying to make the general public care about it a bit more but they have got a job on their hands there. I remember a bulletin on the BBC where they were giving the result and report of so...

CaptainKirk

How do "like" it?

CaptainKirk

Took some doing but found a pub showing the match near Marseillan Plage.
Was beginning to despair

CaptainKirk

It is clear a few of you have trouble reading. I know they have a job to do and I know there are a lot of inconsiderate idiots in cars and wagons and on bikes out there. It would not put them out to pull over every now and then. I live in the countryside and drink in the local with farmers - they re...

CaptainKirk

Stuck in a line of traffic as far as I could see forwards and backwards this morning. Confirmation of what I already knew came 15 mins later - some smart arse on his tractor presumably enjoying the chaos he was creating. I know they are working (and I have farming relatives) but he must have passed ...

CaptainKirk

Sorry to post 2 topics in quick succession but what is going on with her? As far as I can see it - she made allegations which were investigated and decisions made. Even though her allegations were dismissed some bright spark decides to give her £80,000 for some reason so what happens - she surfaces ...

CaptainKirk

Leave him at home sulking in a corner. They, of all Clubs, should be able to manage without a transfer fee (for now). Carry on without him, carry on fining him and donate the cheque each week to Charity. After 2 weeks reporters will leave his house and he will simply be forgotten - in a World Cup ye...

CaptainKirk

OP
Hang your head in shame.

CaptainKirk

That has just given me another "BFCCrazy" moment.
I think I will keep off here until after the window shuts, or stick to the Daily Mail which is less misleading.

CaptainKirk

I know I should just ignore it...and believe me I have for a long time.. but just what is this supposed to be about/for?
It's not entertaining/funny/witty/informative etc.. just what is the point?
Sorry if I upset anyone but I had to ask.
BTW Israelites

CaptainKirk

Coming into this thread late but I seem to remember BFCcrazy coming out with some "in the know" news some time ago and saying if it wasn't true he would stop posting. Well, it wasn't, but he clearly cannot help himself. The desperation to be thought of as "in the know" comes across as quite sad real...

I will be starting from scratch. The area will be around 150sqm and it would not be constant use. It would also be a combination of living room, kitchen area, bathroom and bedroom but that could be sorted with different areas on different switches I guess.

CaptainKirk

That is weird. Not sure how it looked to the rest of you.
The question was regarding thoughts on which is the better option.

CaptainKirk

Anyone out there with thoughts or experiences of either?
Got a choice to make!

CaptainKirk

Just seen this - Slade were greeaatt!

PS and so was Gilbert O' Sullivan!

CaptainKirk

Sorry Quattro - just seen your question - yes that was the wedding in question and a damm fine one it was as well!

CaptainKirk

Tossa de Mar end of June.
Never heard of it until last year when we went for a wedding. Great place and back again for more soon.

CaptainKirk

11th place - exactly what I predicted last December on here. (Although I also said we would finish with 46 points, but 43 wouldn't be too shabby.)

CaptainKirk

Blimey!!! I have been out all day and have just seen the replies - much appreciated! I know it is not that far but the idea was to see other areas en route and the accommodation in Chinon will not be available for a couple of days after arrival in Paris. This is growing by the minute and I can see o...

CaptainKirk

Thanks for the tip - will look into that one for starters.

CaptainKirk

Planning to drive from Paris down to Tour/Chinon area in the Loire Valley but wanted to stay over for a couple of nights on the way down.
Bit of a long shot but has anyone on here got any recommendations of nice little villages to try in that area?

CaptainKirk

Just to add - we had Brian as well - that guy knows his stuff and certainly enjoys his job!

CaptainKirk

Was there myself 2 weeks ago. It helps if you are into modern history. I loved the place and would definately go again and for longer. My biggest piece of advice would be to go on the guided tours (this applies to all cities just as well). You will get so much more out of it than just walking around...

My predicted total of 46 points and finishing 11th not looking so far fetched now is it?

CaptainKirk

The Footstop service looks interesting - are there any outlets in Lancashire?

CaptainKirk

Thanks for the replies.
I went to Whalley a year ago. They had a good look and then sent me on my way: "I could sell you some boots, but with those feet you need something made just for you". That was good of them as I was ready to spend in there.
I will give Altberg a look.
Ta

CaptainKirk

Struggled for years to get comfortable walking boots due to my old and misshapen feet. Been to all the usual outlets with different degrees of success over the years until someone mentioned the made to measure route.
Has anyone got any experience of this?

CaptainKirk

I am also a latecomer. Downloaded (at a cost) series 1,2 & 3 so have ended up with the DVDs as well. Really frustrating now having to watch Series 4 with a week between each episode! I think I realised 30 seconds before what direction the plot was about to go in but was still open mouthed at the out...

CaptainKirk

Thanks for the quick responses! Having checked on our date, I don't think there is an organised trip then so it might be a case like Darthlaw says of just getting the pass and hopping on and off. Ideally, we would like to start and finish at Burnley. Have done the Hebden Bridge journey lots of times...

CaptainKirk

After a bit of advice if possible: Looking to get a trip sorted in September and this has been mentioned. Anyone any experience of this - good or bad? I presume that if there wasn't one on our chosen day we could just buy a ticket and hop on and off - but some routes might be better than others for ...

CaptainKirk

Off there for 3 days in a month or so.
Done the usual googling for things to do, places to see etc but any help or advice from those that have done it is always useful and would be appreciated.

CaptainKirk

Gutted!
Arranged a trip away starting on the Sunday only for Sky to ruin my plans without so much as a by your leave!!!!

CaptainKirk

I was being thick wasn't I - it will be on my Card!

CaptainKirk

At the risk of being ridiculed for being thick: I have just bought my ticket online which was easy enough. Will it get posted to me or do I now collect it?
Be gentle.

CaptainKirk

Can't let that one go without answer.
Like them or not you cannot say they are not extremely good at their job and have been for many years.
It would be interesting to see you and them put your respective achievements on the table for comparison.

CaptainKirk

As part of the ongoing banter with the desperate Rovers fans I work with they keep clinging to the 34 years during which we never beat them. I counter that with the fact we probably only played them 6 times in that period, which they will not have. Anybody know how many times we actually met during ...

CaptainKirk

I cannot understand your pessimism. We will get 14 points from those games.

CaptainKirk

Bearing in mind this time last year I predicted we would finish as Champions with 93 points, I now predict we will finish 11th with 46 points this season.
