Looks knackered
Spoke to him in William Hills in Clitheroe a few months back
Not supposed to have a gambling problem either

Course he looks knackered, hard job he's had most of his life.

Supermarkets will be empty as people use up the vast amounts of stuff they have in reserve.

Be a lot of people sat on their bogs for ages trying to pass all the dried pasta they've consumed whilst wiping their arses on the excess Andrex they bought.

My friend is still on the lookout for a car, as the car P-C had, wasn't suitable for him.

Mine was too small (no jokes pls), he's after a 5 door which could fit a wheelchair in the boot, if anyone else can help.

Pimlico-Claret, thanks for your reply. I've spoken to my friend and would like you to ring him on 01282 436434.

Will do

This is a request on behalf of an elderly friend. I appreciate that it is open to possible abusive comments about the Corona virus. My friend relies on his car to get about and go care for his housebound elderly sister, who relies on him. They're in their mid 70s. His car has been written off and a...

I’m trying to do mine online via direct debit and it is quoting £20 for the year. Am I missing something ? I can’t ring up DVLA as it’s for essential workers only. Their web chat is down too.

What's your reg, I'll check online via Total Car Check app I use for my business

I've had two abscesses and on both occasions the dentist told me that the tooth must not be pulled until the infection has gone. This was 2 different dentist s incidentally.

When I was a dentist we got penalised for prescribing antibiotics blindly.

Footballers(at the top level) have done exceptionally well financially in recent years. If you are earning £50k a week, and you complain that you might miss £1k of that, then there's something wrong.

Bet that little Kent Dele Ali won't take a pay cut any time soon. These strange times could really see a lot of fans falling out of love with football. The void is getting even bigger between players and the fans who pay their wages either by turning up or subscription tv or both. I've been saying ...

Mayor of London earns nearly £150k per year. He can probably sacrifice a bit of that. I wonder if he will.

True, but some footballers earn that a week.

It is what it is. People of a certain generation will have a different view about Bob Lord than those who are younger. Various elements of what he thought could happen, have happened. He always maintained that he did not sell to survive, he sold to remain in Division 1. Clearly, it is a niche book ...

Maybe one thing that will change when we get through this crisis. Not sure how, just wishful thinking.

Really glad he got tested, suppose he'll be returning to the front line of the NHS when he's better, oh, hang on, they aren't being tested due to a shortage.

As a 25 year subscriber to When Saturday Comes, and having just read Paul Rees's review of Bob Lord of Burnley, I'm absolutely fuming.

You think this money is just being "found"? It will profoundly affect everyone's financial wealth for a very long time after this thing. We are making a very profound decision to sacrifice that to "save the lives" of some hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens. I'm not prepared to argue at th...

Tbh seems a bit ridiculous that they are hanging out a decision.

Quote from the article "We understand that the woman has some history of mental illness and we are working to understand if this played any part in her motive."

Didn't say that at all.

Yes the club should do more, but not sure why the players should take a pay cut. As far as iam aware they are still training, and therefore still working, just because they earn huge sums doesn't mean they can just take a pay cut, their lifestyle will be based on their wage, I doubt they have £300 ...

Not just us, but it's a shame that many players will be picking up £50,000+ salaries each week, despite many others in the country struggling on a fraction of that. It's a pity the FA haven't put a little emotional pressure on PL players at least to ask if they'd be willing to take a 10% pay cut at...

If players wages are cut and said players start making a fuss, I can see a lot of ordinary fans not returning once this is all over. It could be a 'selling Jimmy Mac' moment.

It would be nice for the players to make a contribution of financial support. This would help the low paid zero hours members of staff, in their time of financial hardship
