Re: O/T Best place to put £500 per month

Just to add to the above - In my experience, there's no such thing as "independent" financial advice. If financial advisors were really all that, they'd be retired and/or millionaires. I've known 3 financial advisors in my time and 2 of them went bankrupt. Look at the "infallible" Neil Woodford. * J...

Re: The worst Burnley performance that you've witnessed live....

Two that spring to mind for me, not for the massive scorelines but the sheer ineptitude of the performances: Hereford away, September(ish) about 1976/7/8 when we were 3-0 down in about the first 20 mins and Coventry away (Highfield Rd) the first game after Stan had taken the team on a mid-season bre...

Missed that one but scored 3 more before half-time and on top of that Casper? missed a pen. Thought we'd get 10 that night but 4-0 was the final score. If memory serves me...
