    Hoppe included in Boro 25 man squad

    Last season, I recall we started by not getting in a striker and were forced to start someone who until then had been in and out on loan and on the periphery of things at best. He didn't turn out too bad - maybe lightning can strike twice?

    5 and a 10 for the fans, was listening to commentary on Bet 375 site, in the build up they reckoned that Chelsea turned the PA system up to try and drown out the Boro fans!!!!

    What was the first album you bought?

    Stetting Sons - The Jam. Before that I had bought for me various versions of Top of The Pops - regular releases of very average cover versions of what was just in the charts. Parents used to buy them from Woolworths in Redcar :)

    Four day working week

    A couple of years ago, after no pay increase for 4 years, I negotiated a 4 day week for no decrease in pay in lieu of a pay increase to get back to parity. That was a win/win for all parties.

    Is this the closest we have been to another world war?

    Poetry in motion - Izzy

    I loved his interplay with Crooks for Crooks's goal. Beat his man, took his time knowing what run Crooks would make and played the perfect pass to Crooks's foot. As the thread title says, that was poetry in motion.

    RAF retire the Hercules C-130J

    I just had a flashback that adds some Boro reference to the story. We were flying back on the Friday on a Tristar and the port engine threw some blades on the climb out and we had to turn back. We managed to cadge a lift back in the C130 on the Monday. That meant I missed the famous end of...
