I was persuaded from the earlier comedy thread to give Blott on the Landscape a go!!! Fantastic... My current is a classic Jane Ayre, and I've done The Count of Monty Cristo prior to that. Both are well worth it. I didn't realise how good some of the old classics are, that's my focus at the moment. ...

I would much prefer to go for a curry at the Koh-I-Noor, Sharma or Al Khadin after a dozen pints.

I would agree... Koh-i-Noor was my first sitdown curry as a 14 year-old. I remember the background music was a compilation of The Shadows...

A shame it's mainly her miming.

If I go to watch an artist/band live, I expect that it's "live" and not pre-recorded.

I much prefer a warts and all performance than a staged musical which I have seen from several act this year.

For me, Gary Numan being a big disappointment in this.

Similarly for me I'm tempted once more to have another go at Moby Dick. Stopped halfway through over a year ago and was told by a few people that I should have continued. Considering 'The Canterbury Tales' which I'm ashamed to say have never interested me. Anyone here with any advice for Moby Dick ...

Thursday night Disco down the Black Bull was a great night for scouting out the local girls. We used to alternate Thursday nights , pay day, between the Bull and The Prairie as a lot of student nurses went in the Prairie. Those were my haunts in the early 80s. I used to drive back from working in L...

So not a hassle, but a bit more effort and planning than an ICE for sure. A trade-off I'm happy with. For me it would be a hassle! As an example: This week I drove from York to Bristol and back on a tank of petrol with an overnight stay. I didn't stop on either leg, as I want to get the trip over w...

Well done CD!!

I had mine done 20+ years ago and I still have better than 20-20 vision at distance. As I'm getting on I have found that recently I have started to need reading glasses.

I would highly recommend it. As your say... It's liberating.

When I was tiny in the mid 60s I remember my dad taking me to a pub somewhere behind the Black Bull, Marsden Road way.

I called it the Naked Eye, but I could be totally wrong. It also could have been a working mens club.

Any ideas?

A few months ago I cancelled Sky Sports & Sky Cinema, and a few other options and saved over £60 p/m.

I bought a Fire TV 4K device for £40 off Amazon, and a 12 month IPTV subscription for £50, and haven't looked back.

Gods' Bones,give the incoming a fair chance.

No one on this message-board has any say in the decision making of the BFC board of directors, and all the speculation and conjecture is purely that.

An articulate discussion is one thing, but bickering and name calling is uncalled for.
