To answer my own question , just been to Tesco's as centenary way re-open, traffic back to normal around town centre.

We were planning to head into town shortly, is it still as bad?

:lol: I remember the interview for a student job at Safeways (evenings work, after schookl): "What school do you go to?" "Burnley Grammar School" "You're hired." Those were the days ... That worked for me in the mid 70's when I was after an evening/Saturday job :-) Started off as a shelf stacker at ...

Sad news- great singer with an iconic band.

Have seen the Beach Boys live a couple of times and they were brilliant but never got to see Brian perform live.

I had this with booking.com last year regarding a reservation we'd made through them for a hotel near Dubrovnik! Received an e-mail via booking.com purporting to be from the hotel claiming my payment card had been declined and booking would be cancelled if I didn't click on the embedded link with ne...

As title suggests, looking for any recommendations preferably someone local to Burnley to clear our blocked house guttering (and maybe clean the facias)

American Manhunt - the search for Osama Bin Laden, a 3 part behind-the-scenes documentary on Netflix. The final episode with the very risky Navy Seals raid on the compound is particularly interesting - although it was real life, the actual events unfolded like something out of a Hollywood action mov...

One of the most gifted players of his generation in his prime but sadly the best live performance I saw from Gazza at The Turf was when we played Middlesbrough reserves one night and he was in their team. He didn't complete the full 90 minutes but for the time he was on, he still looked a class abov...

For those of you who haven't seen it - Sisu is coming to Netflix on Tuesday.

Thanks for the recommendation

Didn't know anything about it but just finished watching it- superb hidden gem of a war/action/vengeance film!

Toxic Town on Netflix

8 weeks? Yikes! :-( Walked past the roundabout about 45 mins ago- traffic fairly busy and obviously will get worse once the school runs start and folk finish work. Not much sign of activity just one works van but they have dug a big trench in the pavement on Briercliffe Rd on the corner where the po...

Do you know what the roadworks are for? There's no mentioned on the LCC site, or indeed the utilities sites either.

Looked like resurfacing work on Casterton Ave. on/near the roundabout

Vintage Claret

Just a heads up, those 4 way lights I mentioned earlier are now in operation and its causing bloody traffic chaos! All the roads around that area are gridlocked not helped by temp traffic lights on Colne Road just past the Prairie near The Oaks hotel. Had to pick Mrs VC up from BGH at 4 this afterno...

Noticed 4 way traffic control lights being set up near the roundabout connecting Eastern Ave/Casterton Ave/Briercliffe Road this afternoon. They weren't operational when I went past about 2.30 so not sure when they'll actually come into play but sure it will be fun when they do unless they're only w...

Not sure what he means by "we started the game really well" ?

Probably meant not shaking the hand of the alleged racist, not sure what went "really well" after that

I used to live on the same street as a top mafia boss.

He was actually a really sound, generous guy once you got to know him- he used to give me £10 every morning just to start his car up for him.

Very sad news :-( My favourite actor - whatever the role or genre of film you knew it was going to be enjoyable if he was in it. Particularly enjoyed his performances in French Connection, Bonnie & Clyde and a latter day western with an all star cast that seems to have mostly passed under the radar,...

Can't go wrong with any of the blonde beers produced by Reedley Hallows, Bowland or Moorhouses breweries.

My favourite porter has to be Titanic plum porter, always goes down well

Aldi do a very good 'coffee stout' in 500ml bottles for about £1.69

If we don't count TV games, I would guesstimate around the 700 mark, that's from being a ST holder early-mid 70's for a couple of seasons then from 1994 unbroken and maybe 2 or 3 cup/away games a season. Bizarrely the team I've seen us play most away is probably Grimsby as a company I worked for man...

More exciting football would help but I think this seemingly endless run of midweek night home games has also had a detrimental effect on the the atmosphere. Less people attending for work/school/ family/travel reasons, less time to see friends before/after the match and have a few beers etc. I'm su...

Wow, what size was it out of interest? Was it in good condition? That charity shop mustn’t have realised what it was worth :lol: A generous large. It's in excellent condition and to be honest I bought it with the intention of reselling (as I do a bit on eBay/vinted) but I'm seriously thinking of ke...

Vintage Claret

Not an original though, which to collectors is the important bit. It’s not the same having a cheap copy. Absolutely right. Nothing wrong with buying a cheaper remake for yourself if you like the design but it's the age and authenticity of the original shirt that makes it desirable/valuable to serio...

I won't be around in 53 years to know for absolute certain but I'm willing to bet now he won't be behind bars for that long.

He will be dead by his own hand, someone else's, or, if there really is a God, by some act of horribly cruel devine retribution long before then

And the coward kicked up enough of a fuss so he wouldn't have to face the sentencing in person. Hope he rots.

They should have dragged the worthless piece of sh*t in to court by his b*llocks if he wouldn't come voluntarily

Have been 3 times to Bratislava- loved it. Bit of a quirky vibe but in a good way! The medieval Old Town is good for just wandering around the streets and there's some great inexpensive pubs/bars, e.g. Bar 17, Cerny Pes, Bernards, Vanessa's, KGB (Google for location but all within easy reach) Genera...

Yes, of course. It was only a couple of weeks after the atrocity at the Manchester Arena. Mrs VC and I went to that Elton John concert at Ewood which was on 10th June and I remember seeing the snipers on the roof that evening - it had actually been hammering it down most of the day but the sun came...

Good song and sounded great on Saturday -well done to all those who were there singing it. A Burnley song I liked that was sung a lot during the season under Stan in The Championship when we were in the mix for promotion for most of it (but ultimately just missed out on finishing in the top 6).

Don't know if it's any indication of general demand but I went down to the ticket office early (9.40) this morning for 4 tickets thinking there might be a queue but myself and another two folk were the only ones there until just before 10 when the TO opened and another couple arrived.

Mrs VC and I were in Paris earlier this month for 3 nights as part of a trip to see Paul McCartney at La Defense arena.

Has your daughter admitted to being the driver?

It's my understanding that unlike in England and Wales where they can go after the registered keeper, if the driver can't be identified or doesn't pay, in NI only the driver can be held liable.
