Is it the 13 or the 13 pro?

I’m guessing there’s a difference in size, but there may not be.

ColneMonkey

Unrelated, but there’s a joiner who’s named his company “Chisel me Timbers” that I see occasionally on my commute to work.

Always gives me a chuckle.

More a pronunciation thing than a misused phrase, but as a Lancashire lad working in Yorkshire, I’m confused that they pronounce Bradford as Bratfud.

Hang on. Am I mixing up a financial advisor with mortgage broker, or are they the same thing? If they're not the same then I believe we have the former. I’d say no - different world of finance I suspect. We had a financial advisor who's only job, it appeared, was to get us in some terrible setup so...

Cakebreads is a fantastic little place, their breakfasts are amazing as well

They have St Austells Brewey’s Korev and Tribute on tap too, it’s a great place.

ColneMonkey

Depending on where you are, there’s a tiny village called Gorran Haven, about 10 mins drive from St Austell. Within the village, about 100 yards from the beach is a place called Cakebreads. In typical cottage-business style they’re the village newsagents/Post Office/bakery/pub/cafe. Their pasties ha...

I was at home yesterday and was struggling to find the match on radio lancs - was it even on? Them down the road had both FM and DAB frequencies, with the others covering Preston (I think) and one other, but I couldn’t seem to find Burnley’s commentary, unless I was being impatient. From some of the...

Well done to all those who took part - just donated.

One that made me laugh, for someone who’s not very good a something or a bit daft…

They’d struggle to find their @rse with both hands.

When my office was over Preston way, I recall seeing a hairdresser in Bamber Bridge called ‘Blonds on Top’.

Sadly it’s now closed, but I just found the name hilarious.

Colne Glass & Glazing - did all of our windows & doors.

Give them a google & Rob will get you sorted.

I know I’m probably not in the majority, but since F1 left normal telly for $ky, I’ve not watched a single race. During the season it was part of my Sunday routine.

It’s probably the one sport (footy excluded, obviously) that I actually miss when it’s not available.

ColneMonkey

We use Rave Coffee who I can highly recommend. We’ve always found that anything we’ve ordered has been roasted just the day before so is always really fresh. We prefer a dark roast, strong flavour, so if you’re the same try their Italian Job or Moka Java - although we’ve tried loads more of them and...

Christ Church Primary (Colne) Three-legged race, 1989. I was partnered with my mate Gareth who, halfway down the track, managed to stand on my ankle and bend my foot in such a way I nearly passed out. However, I pushed through the pain and we won! My ankle has been knackered ever since and randomly ...

I bought mine from Airedale Tree Surgeons in Steeton. Might be too far away if you live in Burnley but worth asking. They were by far the cheapest and offer a delivery service.

No website, but they have a fb page and phone number if you google the name.

ColneMonkey

I can’t quite remember what the process was claimed to be, but now that Everton have survived the drop, does that mean that Burnley (and others) will proceed with the legal pursuit of looking to recoup loss of earning?

If so, survival may be celebrated but come with painful repercussions?

You’re not worth saving in a life-threatening event

My wife’s went off for about 5 seconds (Samsung), whereas mine did diddly squit (iPhone). I presume that’s the point of a test, but I would like to know why mine didn’t work!

ColneMonkey

Thanks for the replies!

I’ve checked and both the car and charger is compatible, so that’s good. Now just to figure out how to swap things over. The 10pp kWh is impressive, as I’ve been charging at work at 22pp kWh which I always thought was a good price for a public charger.

ColneMonkey

I’ve got a podpoint charger which came as part of the car. We rarely use it as it’s actually cheaper to charge at work. We mainly use it for emergencies if anything as we’re not on any special tariff that gives us the lower prices overnight. Can I ask, with the Octopus Intelligent/Go, can you use an...

I cast each and every game from my iPad to my tv. Never had difficulty yet

Just out of interest, do you do this via an Apple TV device? I’ve got an older TV but with a fire stick and haven’t found a decent way of streaming or mirroring from my Mac book.

Edit for spelling.

Very commendable but I believe it is not a shortage of donors that’s the problem. It is a shortage of NHS staff.

There’s always a shortage of staff, but this amber alert is linked to a shortage of blood units.

ColneMonkey

There’s a video somewhere of a steam train going down the side of a pitch while there’s a game underway. I’m sure someone has seen it and/or has a link.

Not necessarily picturesque admittedly, but pretty interesting nonetheless.

Edit - found it:

I've always been a Windows user, but after much consideration and returning to Uni last year, I bought my very first apple product - a macbook air (m1 variety).

Which town does she live in? Nelson, Colne, Barrowford? There are probably local pubs that could deliver. The Emmot Arms is a good shout but not if she lives in Nelson as its a fair trek. Edit: just to add, the Trawden Arms also does an amazing roast, the Yorkshire puddings are massive, but alas, ma...

Basically as is but with more investment in the transfer window.

A club our size shouldn't expect to be top 10 annually. Unless ALK turn out to be owned by a Sheikh.

Anything above the bottom 3 is fine with me.

ColneMonkey

I think, realistically, to become one of the ever present top 15 teams, like Everton - good enough to compete and maintain our place at the top table... ...and to avoid at all costs being rebranded as the Burnley Buccaneer's or some other horrible Americanised name. :lol: Edit: Actually we'd probabl...

Its a business at the end of the day. Although it does give peace of mind, up to the point when you have to claim, I've found pet insurance impossible to claim against. Our beloved pooch, who is sadly no longer with us, was once suspected to have parvo virus so the vet suggested a series of blood te...

Spotted this and I'm actively trying to resist. Busy job, two kids and always diy and tasks at home. I'd love to pick up the FM game again but its just too risky!

18 Twix, perhaps. Although it'll be interesting to see how the value holds outside of the stadium.

ColneMonkey

It might be my claret tinted glasses but I felt the commentary and studio input could have all been mistaken for Wolves supporters. Very positive about anything they did. Not very fussed about anything Burnley did. Don't get me wrong, Wolves have some very nice players indeed, but the last segment i...

Wow 30 pound delivery from Todmorden are they sending it by stretched limo

Most courier companies won't allow items that have glass in them - injury risk to staff if they become broken. They also won't cover under insurance if they're broken.

A Limo would probably do it though.

We've just finished watching a three part documentary by Simon Reeve on the iplayer about Australia. Very interesting stuff. It was done back in 2013, or there abouts and looks into the fact that the government was essentially pillaging the Aboriginal homeland with coal, gold, silver and iron mines ...

Out came the muck spreader and people got covered in it.

Please, please let there be video of this!

I watched Tremors when I was a little bit too young for it. I was at a friends house and his Dad had it on VHS. We watched the whole film, then it was time for me to go home for tea - I've never run so fast down the road in my life.

I can laugh at it now, but the fear back then was very much real!

My mother in law, Burnley born and bread, uses am-a-gate - pronounced like 'I'm a gate'.

I think it means 'I said to...' or something? Does anyone else use this?

When I first heard her use it I didnt have a clue what she was saying!

What are the sizes like with the home shirts? Is it still the best idea to go for one size up from your normal size?

ColneMonkey

Whenever I've had cramp (generally calf's) I've found that giving the muscle in question a good stretch relieves things almost instantly. It's probably not the recommended way to deal with it, but it works for me.

Its bloody painful anyhow, so I'm glad you've had some relief.

Tony, your doing a good job and I would expect the overwhelming majority will agree. Mental health is frequently a forgotten part of our overall health - if you do feel you're struggling make sure you pick up the phone and talk to friends and family etc...

Not wanting to sidetrack to post, but the bbc article says it'll save the club around €90m.

Now I'm not sure how may players they have but that's an obscene amount of money for just 4 months of the year.

The problem I have with clubs like Arsenal are that they're portrayed as invincible by the press - a belief also held by the fans on the forums.

The leader of the orchestra, that played on whilst the ship went down, was Wallace Hartley from Colne. They all perished. Indeed, born and bread in Colne I believe.

I left Virgin and signed up to Talk Talk for £22.50 a month for fibre broadband including line rental.

We're also looking to switch providers too - currently with Virgin but happy to move to whoever can provide the best deal.
