    Kit Leak.. surely someone has a scooby doo

    50 years of history would suggest a repro kit of Jack Charlton's promotion winning side from 1973-4. Home - all red strip with white band. Away black and blue stripes, black shorts.

    Electric car question.

    For local driving, an electric car is no problem at all. On long trips timing and patience are required. We've done two trips to Barcelona and beyond [South London Smoglet has relocated] in our Renault Zoe. The first in September 2021 we mostly took back roads through France and Spain charging...

    Carrick

    There's an excellent piece in The Athletic about the Riverside transformation under Michael Carrick. Pity about Sunderland.

    Women’s Cricket

    Ther should be no argument. it's a game, anyone can play. As for batter not batsmen, I have no memory of bowlers being called ballsmen.

    Nigel Farage in Redcar…

    I like that idea - Farage at Large a la Plage. The odious, greasy, lying, racist, little chancer could then swim out to the Gare, to check out the illegals floating in from Denmark. Recar Workies - Hang your heads.

    Russia-Ukraine sport implications

    There's no way, logically, that a Russian-owned sports club should be allowed to take any further part in any competition, in either the EU or the UK.. Chelsea are still, in spite of RA's recent rearguard action, Russian- owned. So, firstly, Chelsea's premier league record for this season should...

    What do you have with your toasted sandwiches? Red/Brown sauce / Mayo / Pickle.....?

    Not a toastie, but toasted. First toast the bread, then put sliced cheese on top, usually cheddar, but gruyère or emmenthal is ok too. Slice tomato thinly and place on top of cheese. Coat tomatos with oil, then sprinkle cayenne pepper, celery salt and oregano on top of tomato. Grill until tomato...

    Not getting rid of my 2.5 Litre Petrol

    Not far off I'd say. An Iberdrola rapid charge cost us 1 euro per 3.25 kwh, which is around 13 miles worth. Petrol was about 1 euro 40 per litre.

    Not getting rid of my 2.5 Litre Petrol

    Some more stuff on EVs: We were car-less for more than twenty years. It was never much of a problem in London - I'd cycle most places including to work, otherwise public transport would do. Two things decided Mrs. Smog that she wanted a car again - Covid, therefore a reluctance to travel on...

    Brexit Bonus - Driving in Spain

    Perhaps one day we'll all be able to travel freely anywhere in Europe, get reciprocal health care, even work there without restriction. British goods might even be sold in Europe with a minimum of paperwork. Produce from the warmer countries would be imported by road to fill the shelves of our...

    Payero pronunciation - solved

    I speak some Spanish badly. I don't have an Argentinian accent [neither porteño nor cordobes]. So he's Martin PaYero for me. **** it, maybe just Marty as suggested above.

    Drop In Grab a Jab - Let's Get This Done!

    Probably not. What about some downward pressure from the FA, the FL and the PFA? And the club management making more of a public fuss.

    Drop In Grab a Jab - Let's Get This Done!

    From what I've read, the majority of the Boro squad are reluctant to get themselves vaccinated. If this is true, shouldn't the club be making more of am effort to make sure they do? A photo-shoot in the Gazette of a nurse working the needle through the tatts should help. Shouldn't it?
