    Programmes, past their sell-by, and should be binned

    1. Homes Under The Hammer - there are no more scenarios. Everything has been aired, refurbs, demolitions, extensions, new builds, HOMO etc, etc. 2. Pointless - it's name says it all. It's so outdated. 3. The One Show - again, it's been done to death I've just realised that they're all BBC, but...

    India v England 5th Test

    The 5th Test starts on Thursday, with Bairstow winning his 100th cap. It's a dead rubber as such, as India have won the series and are 3 - 1 up, so England playing for pride. India are almost unstoppable, when playing on home soil, but maybe our top order batsmen can put a score together and...

    Charity Giving Adverts at Christmas

    There are many great causes and charity giving is something I do regularly, mainly associated with the homeless, Crises at Christmas, Centre Point, Salvation Army et al. There are lots of different charities asking for donations on TV all through the year but I think there are even more in this...

    Burnley and Sheffield United

    Both teams streets ahead of us last season, and rightly promoted to the Premier League, but look how their fortunes have changed. A third of the way through the season and they have 4 and 5 points respectively, and on this form relegation is more than likely. We would have little money to spend...

    Boris, he's a bit of a lad isn't he?

    Good old Boris never fails to draw attention to himself. He tried to get his father, Stanley, a knighthood when he was PM but thankfully it was blocked. He can grab the headlines, but for all the wrong reasons. #UTB

    Qatar Fans Accommodation - BBC

    I've just been on the BBC Sport website, looking for fixtures and schedules etc, and opened this article regarding fans village accommodation out of sheer curiosity. I was expecting there to be lots of 5 star places for the fans, but this is taking the mickey, in a big way. A thick plastic sheet...

    Fitting Tribute for David Armstrong

    Lovely to see Spike remembered in a most fitting way yesterday, truly deserved. For those that saw him play will know what a true professional he was with skills and commitment to the club to match. For those who are too young to have witnessed his skills, goals, assists and consecutive...

    Putin: "sanctions imposed by the West ............"

    ".............. are just mad and hurting themselves more than hurting Russia" Click Link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-61847300 He is probably correct in many ways and Russia's reciprocal strategy is forcing inflation, fuel, food and energy costs through the roof. He has to be...

    Tiger Woods at the PGA in Tulsa

    Tiger has pulled out of the PGA in Tulsa after the third round where he carded a 79, his worst ever score in a major tournament. I watched through my fingers as he had bogey after bogey and felt so sorry for a man who has done so much for the world of golf over the past 30 years or so. A truly...

    Geordies to win the League, FA Cup and Champions League

    A Geordie supporter on BBC Breakfast this morning delighted because Ashley has departed his club. He likened the Geordies new potential to teams like Manchester City, United and Chelsea also with billionaire owners. Cast your mind back to when Ashley took over, giving it large about having a...

    Remembering Ayresome

    Those of a certain age will have reminiscences of Ayresome which don't seem to have made the transition and travelled across town to The Riverside. There was invariably a dog running on the pitch at Ayresome which I've never seen at The Riveride. Then there was the caravan selling pies and hot...

    Boro v Brentford on Saturday

    It should be another good test for us after that display against Norwich, as Brentford also play descent football and I think we should have won down at their Community Stadium. I wonder how many of our new signings will get the nod and an added bonus is that we will have had a full week...
