Re: Hobbies other than football

Field Archery is my main hobby now.
I’m just starting to build a workshop in the garage as well so that I can have a go at decimating some wood. Workbench is the first project which will come in handy I hope ( if it gets finished !!!!)

Re: Kefalonia

Flights direct from the UK in January may be a problem, it certainly is for Zante. I’m led to believe that the way to do it is to fly into Athens and then an internal flight across to the Ionian islands or travel overland !!!!!!

I agree with neatly everything mentioned on this thread. Assos has it for me, the drive down the mountain is simply stunning. I wouldn't recommend driving down to Myrtos beach in October unless it's a really nice day. It's VERY stoney with no sand to speak of and the undertow on less than a perfect ...

Re: Supermarine Spitfire

Ah the Mosquito. In my opinion the most beautiful aircraft ever designed and built to do a deadly job. For a short time during the war the fastest aircraft in the sky. It was so well designed I believe it was used in more roles than any other allied aircraft and was the plane the Germans feared the ...

Re: Club crest. Why did we revert back?

If I remember correctly the 1974 crest was a design that won a competition for a new crest for the shirts via the Burnley Express and the club in around 1974. I distinctly remember my school taking part and I believe most of the schools in Burnley also took part. It was annoying when a professional ...

There's a young lad at Ipswich that caught my eye over the weekend. Josh Emmanuel. The perfect build for the modern CH/FB, seems to read the game well for a young lad, bags of pace to burn. Just a pity the season is over as I would like to have a longer look at him. To me if he has the intelligence ...

Re: Steel Toe Caps

Your employer cannot set how often you can have a pair per year. They have to provide them on request as long as the boots you have are no longer fit for purpose. That's the law as laid down in the 1974 Health and Safety at work act. It really pees me off when employers start fiddling with what is t...

Re: Steel Toe Caps

Quite obviously the boots provided by your employer are not fit for purpose "if being used sensibly". PPE is the responsibility of the employer to provide in law ( 1974 safety at work) the only provision being " where reasonably practicable ", which normally means "cost" . That doesn't mean one size...
