For the benefit of Row X I would have bought 2 tickets for myself and my Son. I live in Hampshire and my son and heir actually lives in North London and although we don’t get to many games do try our best to go to those in and around the South East and try to take in a couple of home games. I’ll be ...

Would suggest that the American owners, despite all their protestations, aren’t hugely engaged with the fanbase.

The Sidmouth Arms Upottery Devon. This was over 40 years ago and it still ranks as the biggest breakfast I have ever been given. I think it was 4 sausage, 4 rashers of bacon, 4 eggs, mushrooms, baked beans, fried tomatoes and black pudding. And they gave you all that without asking what you wanted f...

If they sell out quite quickly is there a chance that they will take the full allocation?

That will flumux a few. Released in 1968, the year I was born

Actually released in the USA in 1967 on Bank Records then picked up by MGM on which label it was released in the UK in 1968.

Whilst we have a monarchy in this country then we will continue with this anachronistic bit of nonsense. A system that continues to celebrate empire and is largely controlled by the establishment and thus is incredibly hierarchical. Hence those seen as lowly but worthy get a BEM but people like Star...

Dillinger - Cocaine In My Brain

I’ve got a 12 inch single of that; white vinyl; “I’ve got cocaine running around my brain”

I look forward to the day when the general public stop just reading the headlines on MSM and start reading the actual facts.

Here in the south east, well north Hampshire, got up to a warm dry sunny day. Glorious weather for a nice dog walk. Feel sorry for the folks further north.

Corky

A touch of serendipity here. Yesterday I was out walking the dog and met a couple who I see fairly regularly on dog walks and normally it is just a brief hello, let the dogs have a bit of a play and then we go our separate ways. But this time I was wearing my Burnley hat and the man asks me how I’m ...

I’ve lived in London and the South East for 53 years. I love it. Started off living in central London, Gloucester Road Tube area, then moved to Streatham. In 1980 got married and moved to Tolworth/Surbiton (my wife is from Surbiton). Then made a biggish leap to Guildford Surrey and finally to Fleet ...

I hope he stays at Liverpool as pureclaret says if only to pay his taxes here. Although I enjoy watching him play when he’s on top form.

I doubt very much that he pays his tax here. His accountants will make sure of that.

Pat and the Blenders - sorry couldn’t get the link to stick.

I’ve just read that Biden has, thus far, pardoned 26 people (including his Son) but the Donald in his first stint as President actually pardoned 143 people. Is that right!!!!

My wife said it reminded her of “It’s a Knockout”. I had to agree.

That is what a friend of mine posted on FB last night and it is indeed hard to disagree.

It tells you in the article why such a large amount was lost due to fraud. ‘Twas the Pandemic where UC claims rose dramatically and the DWP had to suspend their normal checks on veracity. Seems that in some cases those lack of checks and verification continue to this day!!

Have you learnt by your mistakes.

I worked for 40 years at, what by the time I had retired had become Royal Mail. I got a final salary pension, lucky me!! Whilst £350k seems like a lot, each year our Pensions people would send out details telling us how well our pension was doing and I seem to recall just prior to retiring that it a...

Surely the sensible option would be to say to any transgressors that your penalty is a loss of say 10 points. But as you cooperated and pleaded guilty that will drop to 6 points. But if you appeal this decision it goes back up to 10 points or even 12 with a further appeal not an option.

Corky

Very sad news indeed. For some unknown reason I can still clearly remember, as if it was yesterday, Leighton playing cricket at Lowerhouse. Probably because the sun was shining!!! That must have been early 70s. Absolutely fantastic player for the Clarets.

We all need to be seriously complaining about this. It’s a joke.

But how seriously should we take a joke?

For me a minimum requirement for a head of state would be an ability to use a fountain pen. I know that is setting the bar quite low but this current incumbent can’t even do that.

Corky

It wasn’t a success. Apparently they could only afford Bostick and they just all fell apart after 15 minutes.

The Krays were always very smartly turned out. In fact very Mormon in style with a crisp white shirt and black tie.

When I first started singing it I am pretty sure the penniless manager I saw in the ale house was Gordon Lee.

I didn’t know who Natalie Bromley was until it was explained above. I guess when reality finally kicks you in the teeth it can have a way of making you re-assess your initial views. Mind you, the little piece itself was OK. Stating the obvious really.

Apparently they also searched the players coming down the tunnel, none of them had any bottle.

Well done, that made me chuckle.

My old Dad used to say that it was not wise to use up all your goals in one game. Let’s hope that proves true.

I’m afraid infantile nonsense like this doesn’t do anything for me or add anything to the discussion. But perhaps you’re not able to?

Peter Townsend was a sociologist who co-founded the Child Poverty Action Group in 1965. He also wrote about understanding Islam. Try looking him up.

He'll do for me. Looks very smart in his white socks and Doc Marten loafers.

As long as it doesn’t impact my personal life let them get on with it I say But it does impact our lives and has done for a long time.

Went to St Teds where the careers advice in 1970/71 was pretty useless. Bummed around for a year with no clue what to do and then my Dad saw an Ad. in the paper for the Civil Service. Apply to Alencon Links in Basingstoke. Never heard of the place (now live about 15/20 mins from there). At 17 moved ...

I think for me the tipping point is that this has been done by the Chairmans daughter and as such has a level of official patronage that I am not comfortable with. It makes it feel cheap and tacky and incredibly unprofessional. However if this had been done by a fan I would have found it quite amusi...
