Colombia, but not until September.

Hi fidelcastro.....would be really interested in the route you are taking to get to Colombia. We are looking for cost efficient options.

Already done a long weekend in Wexford, Ireland and two short breaks in Abersoch, Wales.
Off for a weekend in York for the races on the 25th.
Then Vegas for nine nights at the end of August.
Hopefully get a week in Morocco or the Canaries before the end of the year

Love Gousto. We've been subscribed for about three years now.

Was going to mention Kelbrook Fisheries....but an online search tells me that its permanently closed

For humour value though, The Cods Pollocks near Accy has got to be worth a visit.

Also, I always enjoyed The Bridge Chippy in Barrowford when I lived there.

In the 60's and 70's my aunty lived in a house on the main Preston road at Salmsebury (next door to what at the time was a petrol station) At the time it really was extremely busy as it was the main road from East Lancashire to the Fylde coast and when that KFC was opened just a few hundred yards f...

Regardless of any perceived 'pricing psychology', if you had put a fiver on every Burnley league game this season ending up 0-0 or less than one goal at nominal odds of 5/1, you would have spent £150 but would have £300 winnings.

What might not be known is the reason why, but if anyone can think of an alternative logical reason why it would be interesting to hear it. The logical reason is that 'less than/<' one goal is more ambiguous than 'less than/<' 0.5 goals. Less educated folk may interpret the former as including one ...

It was previously u22 but has now been changed to u21

Thanks for that CTID. I wasn't aware. Clearly wasn't publicised widely. My lad pays for his own ticket so I guess that he is in for a shock!

Not sure about the stuck advert but at one point in the second half, there was a Castore advert going on at that end and I noticed that the company logo was directly behind JT giving the impression he had angel wings from where I was sat in the Jimmy Mc. It would have made a great picture given the ...

Not the Canaries but have you considered Morocco as an alternative? We normally do the Canaries in the winter but decided on Taghadzout just north of Agadir in November and loved it. It's similar flying time and tends to be less windy.

I was six cars back from the front of this. Traffic was held for just shy of three hours. While not knowing the full details, I don't think that there was a happy outcome for the individual involved.

McBurnie - the guy who is a walking red card? Please no - I appreciate that players can change and that his type of style is one which ages well (strong hold up player). But I can't see this going well. There was also an article recently about how well he's settled at Las Palmas and enjoying it the...

I'm an ex-mortgage broker (still working in Financial Services) and I use a mortgage broker.

Nine times out of ten, I could usually justify why that d...

Yep. Waiting for a flight from Corfu to Manchester. Total chaos. They are checking people in manually.

Maybe cliquey pubs could have a sign hanging outside saying 'passing trade, please know thy place'. You know, in case an outsider commits the huge blunder of sitting in a local's seat.

Sounds like the good (bad) old days at The Mucky Duck in Fence.

I have had 'issues' in the past that are often resolved with a quick phone call to HMRC (if you are happy to hold).

They get a lot of bad press but the actual call handlers can be pretty useful at times.

I'm a regular on Pokerstars. Normally play the tournaments rather than cash hands. I prefer Omaha over Hold Em and am a regular on the $3.30 rebuy with a $750 pot at 7:32 each evening. Won $98 earlier this week and $26 last night.

A RC priest (season ticket holder JHL) always felt that added time should be sponsored by Alderson & Horan.

Always makes me laugh that they sponsor the Pendle Pub Walk

Secondly the wet penny drop board thingy - only one prize mentioned and all contestants won said signed shirt by pushing penny down into slot 6. Then of course we couldn’t even see all of that due to useless hand held camera work. The funny thing was that the 2nd and 3rd prizes were announced as £1...

29.6 % long ball passing isn’t great is it ? .. that means it goes to the opposition over 70% of the time …

I never said it was great. However you said that 4 out of every 5 of his passes (20%) goes to the opposing team.....you are clearly wrong based on the 'facts' that I have provided

StuffyClaret

It’s not a witch hunt .. Trafford gives the ball away 4 out of every 5 times he kicks it out …that’s a fact and another fact is we only have 12 points Trafford has 68.8% passing accuracy according to FootMob and un understandably lower 29.6% long ball passing accuracy......but don't let these more ...

Another vote for Farnworth Rose. Did two great jobs for us in the last couple of years. Also Richard Farnworth is a massive Clarets fan, so what's not to like!

Talking of entitled fans, I think that I heard yesterday that Everton fans want to be considered in the decision process for their appeal...... On that basis, shouldn't opposing teams fans also have the opportunity to argue for the prosecution?

Jumpers for goalposts

Also...slightly off topic as it wasn't football related but in the mid 80s, at Mansfield, we had a long period where we played Cannon using four dolly clothes pegs and a tennis ball. It was a bit like a cross between Cricket and Ball Tig. Great fun.

Your solicitor who dealt with your move should sort that. If they are withholding passwords (intentionally or not) they could effectively be spying on you!

Thought this was in relation to Jays goal yesterday

....what happened to it?

The announcement was that a minutes silence would commence after The Last Post and the end of the silence would be indicated by the referees whistle.

Pretty simple instructions to follow I reckon.

Very disappointed that this couldn't have been honoured.
