Was he the ex boxer? Once saw him while playing pitch and putt at Lytham. My mate told me who he was. We didn’t have a go at him about his slow play

Why do the 4% get all the jobs on the TV and radio these days?

Possibly making up for the 30+ years of getting far less than 4% of the jobs?

Did anyone else think this thread was going to be about Claretony finding out he had a long lost Russian cousin?

If you mean the one at Foulridge, it is a simple matter of the gradients of the land. The engineers had two options, dig through the hills to go under the land or build locks to allow you to go over. The problem with locks was that they created bottlenecks in the canal system and the mill owners, th...

we have just had the the traditional boiler, with the cylinder upstairs and water tank in the attic, (exactly as you described) replaced with a combi boiler. Never looked back. More energy efficient, quieter, and easier to maintain. We had the boiler moved upstairs into the airing cupboard where the...

Was just about to post the same myself. Excellent interview.

If it were to be a City/Chelsea final, would they move the final to Wembley, I wonder, bearing in mind the Covid situation?

That would make a lot of sense.

So probably not then!

1968claret

Was a privilege to watch him. I remember the goal against Hull and thinking just how far we had come when a player of that caliber was in our team. Such a shame it was only a short period that he graced the Turf.

1968claret

I’m really not one for OTT slamming of our players or even criticising them unduly. But we really have been dreadful. The number of misplaced passes is unbelievable. I know conditions aren’t great and we as usual have players missing. But there really is no excuse for this performance.

1968claret

Got to agree. Not sure what constitutes hand ball and what doesn’t after that one?

1968claret

Tough decision for Dyche but the right one. Brady’s head had gone since the goal

1968claret

Fantastic play from Jay and calm finish from ash

1968claret

Started watching but gave up after about 10 minutes. Just too over sensationalised. Reminded me of the River Monsters programmes. Lots of hyping up a monster in the deep that is eating locals etc. Lots of suspense and stories of past sightings. Then guy goes fishing and if he is lucky catches a larg...

Two penalties overturned today, where the attacker has fallen over as if shot, following the slightest of contacts.
Hopefully will continue in this vein. Football is not supposed to be a non contact sport!

RIP Captain Sir Tom. A remarkable man

1968claret

Get well soon Sir Tom.

Walking
Wildlife photography
Jigsaws
Also built a couple of balsa wood model airplanes

With regards the walking I do t think I had really appreciated prior to lockdowns just how many wonderful walks we have in our area. Some stunning secenery, wildlife and buildings

1968claret

To balance it out. Worth reading comments on BBC write up. Lot of mutual respect and neutrals who really enjoyed the match, particularly the second half

What a fantastic result. Great character. Especially after the first half. Strong jaw once again. Hilarious some of the comments in the first half.

Thankfully our team and manager have more backbone and belief than many of the posters on this thread!

1968claret

Would like to see the stats but I always feel that having Mike Dean reffing us is a good omen.
Didn’t he officiate at Wembley in the Sheffield game?

1968claret

So sorry to hear this news Al. Thoughts with you and your family.

1968claret

Al, would definitely recommend Jay Care on Keirby Walk. Had one fitted for my father in law. They were excellent and in my view quite reasonable

Not being fatuous by saying this but the fact it is the DM is a legitimate part of the answer to your question. I'm not being a c.unt but let me explain.

You will probably also enjoy Bosch. Based on the Michael Connelly books. Really well portrayed.

If it is called the Beach Boys then it will be Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and band. As he has the rites to the name. However Brian has also been touring with Al Jardine and Band. They did have some dates in Manchester and Leeds this summer which got cancelled. I am hoping they may do them this next y...

1968claret

Mike Love is my favourite member of the band. Always been more of a Brian fan but don’t like the way that Mike was marginalised by the music historians. Whilst Brian is a musical genius in my opinion, Mike Love definitely played his part, certainly in the early years. Special mention for Carl thoug...

1968claret

Some great choices here. I saw them at the Indiana State Fair in the early 80's . My recollection is vague but I think only Mike Love and Al Jardine were in the line-up I saw. This is my favourite Beach Boys song. Brian Wilson - a flawed genius. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJWuQV2u9ns Thanks fo...

1968claret

Sorry, don't know how to post links. My favourites are, I just wasn't made for these times and Time to Get alone. Hard to choose as so many great songs. Saw them live 4 times in the 80s and 90s and more recently saw Brian Wilson on the Pet Sounds Tour at Manchester Apollo. An incredible show. The pr...

Turton Golf Course is one of my favourites. Again it’s on the side of a hill so weather very much a factor. Some beautiful well thought out holes though

1968claret

Agree Tony. I know when I coached Junior Football some clubs would trawl the teams get loads of young kids to join the academy. They wouldn’t be able to continue playing for their local teams, missing out on years of just playing football for enjoyment, then getting released. Basically for the clubs...

Great, thanks Tony.

Just started watching Jack Ryan after finishing The Boys.

It’s good so far.

Yes we watched Jack Ryan series on Amazon, would also recommend Bosch. Excellent viewing.

On Netflix we have just watched the shooter. Again good series to binge on

Pubs will be selling sandwiches for 25p and claim they are providing food and can therefore serve alcohol. When in tier 3, restaurants can stay open but can’t serve alcohol. So that wouldn’t be possible. However, we are in tier 2 so pubs can remain open. However, as you can’t mix with people outsid...

1968claret

So in tier 2.
Pubs are open, but I am guessing that because households can only mix outdoors, pubs without beer gardens(with umbrellas and heaters!) will be empty?
I am guessing landlords it would have been better to be tier 3? At least if forced to close they could get furlough payments for staff

Our 4 out first, loved that!

Agreed. After all the recent doom and gloom. To see 4 of the England starting line up being current or very recent Clarets is pretty amazing.
Maybe just a reality check on how far we have come!

My son tested positive 3 weeks ago. He had relatively mild symptoms, ill for a couple of days. Was a concerning two weeks of isolation for us though as Mrs is in the at risk groups and has to shield. My cousin died in early March. 100% he had it. All the classic symptoms but this was before it was a...

Phew. Read the title and thought someone had been talking to my Mrs!

To be fair, he wouldn’t really get very far as a commentator if he just shut up
