Was no finer sight than a Glenn Hoddle bender getting caught in the stanchion.

The simple art of defending is now a low-block and a good old-fashioned midfielder is now box to box. Football in the UK is so obviously being groomed for TV. The American owners will get their way and matches […]

Not sure if I just haven’t had the inclination for music this year or if it has genuinely been a fairly mediocre 12 months of releases, but here’s the best I can muster: 1. Cigarettes After Sex – X’s 2. Pet […]

Love this – could all probably be done in an App now!

As a deluded Leeds fan, it would seem we are already a defeat tomorrow away from a complete crisis – one week into the season.

Terrible news and incredibly brave on his family to speak so openly about what has happened.

Thanks all – interesting that all inclusive comes up. Airline package holidays seem quite expensive when you book for one – and it looks cost-effective to go all inclusive. I don’t mind eating alone, but always […]

Lovely post – thanks.

Interesting insight, thanks for writing. When I was much younger a friend of mine’s father jumped in front of a train at the local station. And some years later, a friend of my young son – his mother did the sam […]

My favourite five albums at this point in the calendar year look like: Elbow. Audio Vertigo. Pet Shop Boys. Nonetheless. Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan. Your Community Hub. Richard Hawley. In […]

Should we carry out a ticket price sweepstake?

I worked within the mortgage value stream for one of the major banks for a while, and the entire process is completely outdated, ridiculously slow and unreasonably expensive. A number of up-coming FinTech […]

I used to rather enjoy a spam fritter at school. Most kids hated them, so I’d end up with two or three a day!

Yes – the chip shop fishcake, with a hint of fish in the middle of potato and batter. Presumably a fraction of the price of a piece of haddock or cod. To be fair, I used to enjoy them.

I agree with this. I love eating out as well, and I’m sure this is because as a child we hardly ever went to restaurants. And growing up on chips and beans with either egg, sausage or a frozen burger (but no bun) […]

Also, my father can’t eat anything with even a hint of spice. If he orders a burger in a restaurant he finds it too spicy! Only thing he’ll order in restaurants in lasagne, and he sees that as exotic. And he […]

I recall visiting my grandparents on a Sunday and they would make huge Yorkshire Puddings. We’d eat them as starters with gravy and then as pudding with jam. We’d also eat dripping on toast – with crunchy […]
