Re: Taking football too seriously…
How about reversing this? How about not applauding ex-players and manager on the Everton game? It works both ways you know. Agree. They don’t play for us anymore, they don’t manage us anymore. Managers, players, loaneees, will all come back at some stage with other clubs to try to beat us. Just ign...

Re: Mr Bates vs the Post Office
I think there has been an awareness of this case prior to the TV series. I for one had been following it. Rather, I think it says more about the society we are living in these days that it takes a dramatisation on TV for mass interest in it to occur. I think you’re right about injustice needing to ...

If you’re around Euston area, walk down towards Kings Cross, take a right up by the Irish Bar, then left behind Camden Town Hall to The Dolphin Pub. Only a small pub, but great beer.

Re: Hip Replacement
Had mine done in 2011 after putting it off for a few years. Take it easy for first few weeks and listen to the physiotherapist, they know best.
After two ankle fusions and a total shoulder replacement, I have to say the hip surgery was a breeze.
Hope it’s as successful as mine has been.

Burnley fans complaining about timewasting is phenomenal. Worst team in the league for it. Look at it another way, more positively from our perspective. We’re the best team in the PL at managing the clock when necessary. Pope’s ‘where’s the ball’ against Spurs being the best one so far this season.

London Bridge to Norwood Junction is also an option. Trains are every 10 minutes or so and journey time is less than 15 minutes.
