I've had one most years for the last 35 years or so. I usually opt for sedation these days, not because I need it, but because it works very well and means I remember almost nothing of the procedure. I'm lucky in that my wife is usually available to bring me home. The times I've gone without sedatio...

I dislike that Chelsea can make a pre-tax loss of approx £300,000,000 and still be within PSR,
...whilst Burnley are obliged to make a pre-tax profit of approx £20,000,000 in order to comply.

What's the point of being in the Premier League with that kind of imbalance - on top of everything else?

One savoury, one sweet this year...
Savoury will be homemade cod goujons, chips, peas and tartare sauce.
Sweet will be strawberries, blueberries, Nutella and vanilla ice cream

Wout may have been 6" taller than Zian - but I know which Dutchman I'd rather have on the end of our crosses. Fabulous commitment and technique for that one today.

Another shout for Zen Internet.

Been with them as both business and private customer for more than 20 years.
Hugely reliable and really good customer service.
After they resolved an issue for me recently, they even called me back a few days later to check everything was still working well.

Home Bargains and similar seem to get the short date or surplus goods. Every chance that next time you go they won't have Kitkat at all, or at least not the flavour you're after. The big supermarkets pay (and charge) a premium to have fully stocked shelves. Their net profit tends to be about 4%. Th...

Driving home from 2 weeks in Ingleton back to Norwich via lunch with my son who lives in Lincoln.

I was brought up in Norfolk but had one or two trips to visit my grandparents in Nelson each year. I think it was Easter 77, aged 11 when I asked Mum and Dad (known on here as Spades and Mr Spades) whether - instead of an Easter Egg - I could have a claret/blue tracksuit that year... They agreed, an...

I've had 20+ of these over the past 30 years... As others have said, the prep you have to drink is worse than the procedure... foul tasting stuff, but it usually does the job. I'd recommend the sedative if you have someone who can drive you home as it does pretty much make you forget the procedure. ...

You could (and I know this is a wild idea) try listening to her?

Awful suggestion

!aiboforceN

It's simple really... In the past, for a penalty to be awarded, there had to have been a foul of some kind. However, these days, the laws have changed and now a "special" kind of contact (plus 3 other criteria being fulfilled) are needed. We can ignore the hundreds of instances of "regular" contact ...

Mum (Spades) would have been all over this thread.
A few of her pet peeves:

What can we do to help VK get a win? years ago my granddaughters started having Haffners meat pie and peas before going on the match and that seemed to stop working,so last year we tried Haribos and Werthers Originals and they worked a treat but now we’ve tried M&S Peppa Pigs ,Giant Chocolate butto...

Great result and performance. Listening to the Surrey commentary yesterday, they expected an easy win - Lancs 100 runs short?? And good to see traitor Clark out as the final wicket! Agreed, I honestly thought they were being far too disrespectful prior to Surrey's 2nd innings: "This will be a 6th w...

With the benefit of TV replays, I was more frustrated by the players' antics rather than the refereeing.
Yes, he missed a few and got a few wrong - but with so much attempted cheating going on - it is easy to imagine that he mistook those incidents as yet more fakery.
