Just got their email today: “We understand that things are tough right now, and so alongside investing in improvements, we’re committed to keeping our prices as low as we can. The costs of providing broadband services have however increased significantly, and it is affecting the entire...

For the first time in weeks, I got out into my garden today and noticed the absence of the wheeling, mewing and soaring of three buzzards that seem to always be above during the summer weeks. It was strangely quiet and boring without them. Led me to randomly musing: where do they go? They must...

The Championship Casemiro and Rashford? Exciting prospect!

Doing the rounds on Fb and Twitter today. Cracking picture. Bring back memories boys and girls?

New heist series. Each episode is colour-coded rather than numbered as you are intended to watch them in any, random, order rather than in sequence. Feels weird at first and hard to believe it can work. But it does - at least for me so far. Watched two episodes and it’s tense and enjoyable...

@Nero mentioned this in the OFGEM confirms thread, and I thought it was such a good point and worthy of being talked about it it’s own right. Puts me in mind of this piece in the Guardian from a few years back which is informative and on the money- no pun intended. George Monbiot, very active...

Just installed IOS update 15.6.1 and immediately got a compromised password warning due to Fansonline data leak. Seems standard IOS practice, and nothing to worry about, but changed my password as suggested. Anybody else?

I like it. Wouldn’t have said no to that as our home kit.

Wondering if I can make a little bit of cash by selling my retro Boro shirts. I believe there is a bit of interest currently especially in the Errea 90s/00s shirts? I have a few of those and also a Skill and an Admiral. I’ve seen a few on eBay at various prices but my daughter reckons Twitter...

What an articulate, impressive man. Feel he is going to do well. Not too well, obviously!

Just finished reading Golden Boy A Biography of Wilf Mannion by Nick Varley. He mentions that there was a testimonial “An unofficial and low key affair staged on a park pitch that drew a crowd of 6000.” I was in that crowd at Claireville Stadium as an 11 year old, so I can say I saw Wilf...

In the last game of his loan spell and is out for, let’s say, six months; does Forest just walk away leaving all responsibility for his treatment, rehab and wages to Boro? Is that how loans work or are there clauses that pass some at least of the consequences of the injury to the club who...

Those little things that annoy you. You know they shouldn’t and don’t know why they irritate you, but they just do. Suppose I’ve got loads but one that has just appeared relates to watching footy on Sky. More specifically, watching Man Utd. The commentators always refer to “Bruno Fernandez”...

1 Your Preston ticket comes with over 65 hand written on it 2 you are not patted down going into the ground when every one else is 3 you climb over a row of seats and have to use your hands to lift your trailing leg over And you thought you had a bad day 😂 Keep the faith boys and girls 🥰

to go to the Stoke game. I had a season ticket at AP and kept it when I moved to Gtr Manchester in 1987. Kept it up at the Riverside until giving it up in 2008. I still went to about half the home games but this gradually dwindled down to virtually none in the Strachan and Mowbray eras. When...

Perhaps we need something else to speculate on, so what did CW mean when he said this today? He mentioned three specific areas: “...there are things we have to improve, whether that is the infrastructure around here, whether it’s a mentality around the place and one of recruitment.” Seems all...

Susie Dent’s word of the day: “snollygoster”(19th century): an unprincipled person in office who is motivated by personal rather than public gain. Great word and Boris Snollygoster has such a ring to it.

“Ukraine, Ukraine” ( to the “tune” of 3 points, 3 points) on live TV would be so powerful. Especially if used to drown out any Chelsea pond-life using their Roman chant.

I had not heard of this before. Absolutely staggering and horrific to think history is repeating itself. The means may be different but the intent is the same. Shameful. https://www.history.com/.amp/news/ukrainian-famine-stalin
