    What irks you about modern society?

    The death or real news programmes. Nowadays national news seems to consist of a series of biased surveys from various pressure groups dressed up as "news", which are repeated by the channels without any critical review whatsoever. Too much focus on the US and as stated earlier, bl..dy...

    Text from NHS Tracing

    It told me to isolate for a further 10 days as that was 14 days after going to the pub. Therefore seems to work fine Sorry if that is not everybody elses experience with the app but it is mine.

    Text from NHS Tracing

    Was notified via the app yesterday that I had been in proximity to someone who tested positive. I had expected this as a barman at a local bar had tested positive the day before. So it does appear to work. I have said all along the problem is more about people than the system. we are just...

    Series 'Des'

    David Tennants resemblance to Nilsen was uncanny. Thoroughly enjoyed the series. Judging by the documentary they stuck to the story pretty accurately. Cannot help feeling very sorry for the families, partcularly those whose sons were never identified.

    Phil Thompson, Charlie Nicholas and Matt Le Tissier

    I genuinely think most people, including Sky, have missed the point about the show's popularity. It is less about accurate and incisive reporting and more about passing a pleasant saturday afternoon, looking at the scores come in and chatting about football in general with some good banter. More...

    Food that makes you retch

    I distinguish between foods that make me vomit - prunes and brussel sprouts - and those that are just a waste of calories eating - broccoli, avocados and kale.

    Stoke Forum - Oatcake

    I did stipulate if we could afford him. I agree he sometimes flatters to deceive but so do all wingers, especially in the lower leagues. We have all cried out for such a player but in all honesty I cannot see Roberts choosing us over Celtic and Ince is one of those players who is not good enough...

    Stoke Forum - Oatcake

    Ince would be a good replacement for Patrick Roberts if we could afford him

    Marvin Johnson

    I would take this one with a pinch of salt, more likely to be an agent trying to stimulate interest in him

    Ayala refuses to play

    Some players play out of their skins in the last year of their contract to get a new contract or to attract a new club. Ayala decided to not play at all. Sadly for both Boro and for him this has backfired on both sides. We are losing a very good player and his options for an improved contract...

    Time to get rid of the clutter

    When I moved a few years ago I spent about a month going back and forward to the recycling centre at Haverton Hill as we found more and more stuff that no-one wanted (including charities). Very cathartic and well worth doing. The guys down there do a great job and are really helpful.

    31 shootings and 3 dead in Chicago

    Thanks for the offer, I do appreciate it. I have been to Chicago many times before for Bluesfest but I have seen mainly the tourist places. I love the place but admit that I only go as far south as Chinatown on an evening out. Usually to Reggies - fantastic shows and great wings. North side is...

    Defacing the Cenotaph and Churchill statue

    It is not the physical flag that is the issue, but the sentiment behind burning it

    31 shootings and 3 dead in Chicago

    Actually that is below average, but still shocking. Sadly I would have been there last week on holiday but for covid. Never mind heres to next year.

    What’s the most obscure tv show you like

    Boss starring Kelsey Grammer in a straight role as mayor of Chicago. I stress this is NOT based on Richard Daly the former mayor of Chicago - yeah. Kelsey Grammer is superb throughout. Oh and another shout out for Still Game, where Navid's wife steals every scene she is not in.
