With terror threats and murder on the rise in the U.K. I'm interested in knowing how people cope/think about it ? People in London and Manchester have come together and stuck two fingers up at the Jihadis. Talking to some people today it was a mixed reaction, a few really scared, but the rest...

On the news tonight it basically is warning us to go about our business etc enjoy ourselves,but be vigilant. This is after the horror in Manchester on Monday. But what does that exactly mean ? Obviously vigilant means : Be aware of danger. But how can you enjoy yourself if you're on edge etc ...

My neice wanted my advice recently for help with a school project she was working on. It was fun she said but she wanted my help as it was about famous people who she would want as guests for a meal ? The aim was to gather about a dozen famous people alive or dead around the table to discuss...

He was on Room 101 and one of the things he wanted lobbed in that he disliked was Life. He even got a few claps from the audience and got Frank Skinner laughing at his choice.He went on to say he finds it so overrated and wakes up often and thinks not all of this again. As with Frankie you take...

A mate of mine is always giving stuff away and recently he gave me a Bob Dylan triple CD box set. Got to admit even though I know he's a music legend,I've never played much of his music. But after playing this collection I can't believe its took me this long to see why he's classed as a genius...

My sons ex girlfriend was in the pub with her new bloke at the weekend,and we got chatting over a drink. He's Glaswegian and a decent bloke but I couldn't understand a word he said ! All I could do was just smile and nod now and then when he spoke before I shot off. And also a couple of Indian...

On the round this week I've seen squirells,robins,blue tits,goldfinches,and heard woodpeckers in the distance. The weather has been chopping and changing one minute sunny,the next cold and windy. But stopping and pausing and looking around I thought how much I love the outdoors, add in the...

What a fight this could be ? Joshua could knock him out early doors,but Klitschko could test him in a long scrap.It is an intriguing duel I reckon and is tricky to forecast. But personally I'm going for a Joshua knockout in the 5th round. Anybody agree ?

My son casually once said that he wished he could be in Stereophonics as they've been one of his favourite bands for years. It got me thinking what band I'd like to be in ? From the past I'd have loved to be in Led Zeppelin. Now I'd opt for Metallica as they're just a great metal band. Just have...

With relegation down to League Two and with many fans not renewing season tickets,it got me thinking without football on a Saturday what could replace it ? I'd be lost but many have found other things to do. So my question is: what would you do instead ?

The new series of Car Share was on the other night and it was great. The two of them have formed a great partnership and although its not a comedy classic, its really sharp and entertaining. Rising Damp,Fawlty Towers,Fools and Horses, and Porridge,for me are the best ever but Car Share is...

It must be an age thing but stuff I used to dislike I now like. Take for example music I can now listen to bands like Mansun and Blur and enjoy them. I can drink green tea and gulp down bottled water,whereas I would never have bothered. I like a salad now and then and thought only vegetarians...

What are your plans during the close season ? For me before we start our season in League Two I'm hoping to do a walking holiday in England or Wales. And going to a couple of concerts too. Hopefully I'll be refreshed by the start of the campaign ! Any other plans ?

Well we're slowly coming down from Sundays great day.Now we've got to accept our club is going down to the 4th tier of football. As a long suffering City supporter I've resigned myself to this and have to take it on the chin as most other fans are I guess.So what track sums up our season ? I...

I was there in 87 and again yesterday. But strangely enjoyed our Checkatrade Trophy win more than winning the FACup. Only reason for that I can see is that this season has been miserable,and on the verge of relegation,so yesterday gave us something to cheer about. Don't get me wrong 87 was...

Not been mentioned much but the posh boys sport event is this Sunday.So Oxford are well represented in the capital on the day. I remember being at Craven Cottage to watch us play in the 70's and you could watch the boats go by on the Thames. They do get big crowds so even more security going on ?

Thought I'd give charity work a go and done a short training course. Passed that and was told the money I can earn etc,with bonus for targets hit.Anyway just done 2 days and what an eye opener its been. 4 of us hit the streets and had to knock doors from 3.30 to 9 .pm.But most people don't want...

Got talking to an elderly customer today. She was saying how much Coventry had changed in her lifetime,and not for the better. But what surprised me was that she'd never been to our cathedral or the Motor Museum. Two well known visiting attractions of our city.She had no interest in either even...

In the pub before the match yesterday a group of us were discussing our favourite intros to records.A varied selection of rock/pop. Favourites were: Smoke On The Water- Deep Purple.Baker Street- Gerry Rafferty.Paranoid- Black Sabbath. Any more favourites ?

Can Robins come in and turn a squad struggling to win games, and do the near impossible and keep us up ? I can't see it myself as teams around us have to go on a losing streak. What do you reckon ?
