RIP. An absolute gentleman who I met a few times away from football. He never mentioned he was an ex-footballer at any time while chatting to him. As mentioned on this thread, he always looked fit regardless of his age.

I have not played golf for 20 years but will soon have the time to play and want to get back into it to I can play with my mates who play once a month. A while ago somebody posted about joining a golf group lesson rather than a 1:1 lesson to get the basics done and then move on to 1:1...

He was a Sales person and had private health via the company with Aviva. They offered a price for people leaving the company private health scheme and either retiring or moving to another company. He thought about it but said it was too much then ended up paying 12K for the back operation.

My old work mate who retired 2 years ago has just paid 12K to have an operation on his lower back. He played a lot of golf but in the past year back problems restricted him from playing. Such is his love of golf, the operation is a make or break for him regarding playing. He is regretting...

FG - Can I tap into you great knowledge of Octopus and all things tariffs based for a bit of advice please? I joined the tracker last year which was great advice from yourself thank you (and hope you got the £50 ;)). I do not have an EV so have been happy to plod away on the tracker. I know...

Such sad news. RIP Frankie. I also saw Maze at the Hammersmith Odeon in the mid 80's. An absolute legend on the soul scene and part of my life since his Northern Soul days. Maze Live in New Orleans is still my favourite album ever.

Well done you xx. Absolutely lovely news. I wish you a long, healthy and happy future xx

Straight after the hearing they whisked him away to jail

Anybody got one? Are they any good? I have a medium sized garden and have used an old odd job man to cut my grass as I work away a lot. He has now decided to pack up and I am thinking that I should have a go at this, and even Mrs Ayresome could give it a go. Should I go with a cordless mower...

£192K per week. It does seem rather high. I am not condoning the price of the tickets, but rather providing the information he gave at the meeting. The only other thing I can think of is if he also included the Academy (4M) so if anybody was there can they confirm this please? The point of...

At the recent fans meeting with Gibbo there was a question about ticket prices. For those that were there please keep me right on this as this was my understanding of his reply. Gibbo explained that the day to day running of the stadium is running circa £10M/year and increasing with...

Thinking of retiring at the end of the year after 45 years of work. I am financially set up so just need to find things to do which I am finding very worrying. As others have mentioned I am working on a plan. The plan includes: Golf - I haven't played for years and was never really good at...

Bumped up as I made an edit to the original post

Hello All, Thanks for all of the advice you gave me regarding kitchens. I was nearly decided until Mrs Ayresome got a tip off a friend of a friend, to try the Kitchen Surgeon (Stockton) who can fully install a new kitchen and design it if required. She wants to get a quote off them so I was...

Thanks. Just checked and it is the Singapore cruise centre
