I live in a house overlooking the Med on the Costa del Sol between Benalmadena and Fuengirola. I hate the holiday period in July and August, too many bloody tourists, no parking anywhere, can get a bit too hot to go out walking, can't wait for September to get back to normal. Just think yourself lu...

Came back from Protaras, Cyprus last week. Going Los Cristianos Tenerife in September. Thinking about a cheeky week in either Majorca or Ibiza in August. And any other I can pick up cheap 8-) Protaras is very nice. Greek island for me in September, just not sure which yet. I’ll book nearer the time...

Are the highlights on normal telly in the evening?

How is G doing?

I remember watching the concert on TV but can’t recall the minor details. Did they break away for the national and local News and weather reports or was it just straight through? What happened in between acts? Was there Interviews etc . I remember the BG outburst when he got the wrong info regarding...

The sheer amount of cars on the roads is unbelievable. I was in gridlock driving through Nelson the other day. Mind you there are roadworks everywhere in Nelson. They are not repairing the surface , they are putting in new traffic lights and widening pavements which will all slow down the traffic fl...

Hey i would have said that Irish roads were bad in the past but hell nothing like the roads here in southern Italy which have to been seen to belive .

I was in ROI recently and thought the roads were very good. It was only when I crossed into NI that the roads became terrible just like home.

karatekid

Had my car in the garage for new front springs recently. With the road surfaces getting worse every year it probably won’t be long before it’s back in for more suspension work. There seems to be roadworks at every turn these days , yet the surface just gets worse. Why does this situation seem to be ...

Muric- can’t believe I missed him

I don’t know why but every time I think of Muric I’m reminded of the YouTube clip of that keeper doing the scorpion kick save. Like I say I don’t know why.

karatekid

It beggars belief that some folk don’t think this is a good signing. Let’s not get above ourselves here. He has played at the very top level for years and maybe he just missed being in the UK last season and the chance to come back to the North West and play fits perfectly with him. Great signing.

It will be strange not seeing the Manx Missile. Shame Chris Froome had that nasty accident as I enjoyed watching him. Let’s hope the Yates brothers grab a stage or two.

karatekid

I watched it in my local pub on a portable size TV on the wall. It was turned over to horse racing every so often as a lot of the lads had a flutter. We stayed in the same pub from start to end then went into town. I’ve watched it in parts since then and it’s a shame some of the big stars of that da...

This might - and I realise in advance this is a bold statement - be the most cretinously feckin’ stupid thing I’ve ever read in this board or its predecessor. Beating the rest of the world’s elite in a major sporting tournament or getting people to buy your single? Yeah, totally comparable. Arsehol...

Why does the BBC sports site give so much space to her? Like Cheney Hawkes she is a one hit wonder.

I lost 2 stone in 2 months on mounjaro. Paid privately . Started on 2.5 then went up to 5 . Got to my target weight then stopped. Let’s see if it stays off now as you can’t take the injection forever. It really does suppress your appetite though,

Wow. That is impressive.

There has been some cracking music videos down the years. Which ones stick in your memory and why?

I’ll start with this one for pretty obvious reasons.

A bit of a boredom buster here.
At this stage of the close season after VK got us promoted, how many players had come in and how many had left. We need names, clubs and fees involved. We can use 19th June as a date.

karatekid

Looks fantastic. I like it.

I got a job as a porter in the Keirby Hotel so I worked most Saturdays in the eighties. Monday you I probably saw more action in the Hotel so not all bad.

Italy shirt has to be the best looking international shirt.

That Macdonald shirt isn’t new. I once saw someone wearing it in the Rose and Thistle at half time.

Can you still ask a driverless taxi what time they are on till or if they have been busy?

3 wins and 1 friendly defeat does not constitute a requirement for sacking him. He needs time to watch PL games and decide on the players to suit his system the best. He has just chosen tried and tested for now but that will change as he sees the English players every week.

What an absolute yawn fest this is! I’m going to put it out there - is Bellingham massively overrated?

To be fair I don’t see him play that much for Madrid but when I have seen him play, I just don’t get all the hype!?!?

He’s not as good as his brother.

karatekid

He’s a poacher is Kane.

It was the Burnley reference that interested me .

I was just reading the BBC sport build up and read this from the reporter: Thomas Tuchel and his players have spent the week in Spain to aid team bonding and help prepare for the 2026 World Cup, which will be staged in sweltering conditions in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Cycling in sauna-l...

I watched a fly on the wall style tv documentary on the beckhams a couple of years ago and tbh they seem like a normal family behind closed doors. Like many celebrities they portray an image in front of the camera but that isn’t necessarily who they really are. Many of us are different people at wor...

I watched that clip which then led on to another clip showing a policeman commandeering a push bike to catch a drug dealer. Well done that officer.

karatekid

If the rider of the e-bike does not have a protective helmet on the police are not allowed to pursue them in case the rider falls off and sustains head injuries. A balaclava is not considered to be protective head wear so no pursuit is initiated.

Just finished watching this 6 part series. I remember the night the plane went down being on the news but didn’t really follow the story from the initial days so this series was very interesting to watch.

That I can agree with. I don't know how spoons can do pints of ale for less than 2 quid!

Someone told me that Spoons buy up barrels of ale that are near their use by date so get them a lot cheaper and get through them faster because of the cheap prices to the customers.

Growing up racing with the talent he has, they both have, you spend a lot of time in Europe. Understandable.

It never affected Sean Kelly

Bury lad Simon Yates wins it!

He’s definitely lost his Lancashire accent. Too much time spent with the croissant brigade I expect.

Inter started too negatively . You can’t invite PSG on and try to catch them on the break.

Kolo and Yaya Touré, Rio and Anton Ferdinand, Michael and Andy Dawson. A few that come to mind.

What teams were they playing for?

karatekid

With the Ramsey brothers set to face each other on opposing teams next season how many other siblings have done the same professionally. I can think of the Neville bros. Everton and ManU.

Some pedestrians are obsessed with ‘having priority’ at crossings and junctions. It won’t end well for them. Wait until it’s clear or the cars stop. Simple.

Sunderland might do a Luton and finish above us and DL. Nothing to lose I suppose.

Shocked Sunderland haven’t made changes at half time. They’ve been awful, where’s the best player the Championship has ever seen?

Does the winner of this game, with the revenue from the two semis and the final itself, potentially get more £money than the teams that went up automatically?
