Popped into the market this afternoon to go to the record stall there. They sell badges and have bought SISU out and City Till I Die badges before. I asked if they had any or any new ones ? They didn't and said they stopped doing them even though they selled well. For some reason they stopped...

Sorry for touching on a morbid subject but it is interesting I find. A customer of mine hasn't got long left as she's terminally ill.But she's stoic and upbeat and resigned to her fate. She's got everything sorted out,funeral and finances etc,and her will and other stuff. She's so positive I end...

I've never been a fan of Blur but really like Song 2 a record of theirs that's currently being played on a telly advert. Which got me thinking about other songs I like from acts I dislike. Like Crazy Horses by the Osmond's, which was a bit rocky from a cheesy group. Any other suggestions ?

Two subjects that get people hot under the collar I find are religion and politics,you listen to radio phone ins or talks in pubs,they nearly always end up heated and at times get out of hand.My sister and a mate keep away from both topics as they say it's boring and they dislike the arguing...

Great new series last night and worth watching again if anybody missed it. But as someone who dislikes snakes there's a part in it where scary Racer snakes go after baby Iguanas who have just hatched. Its like a horror film and shows that nature is gripping and horrific at the same time. Not for...

A little girl was run over outside my home yesterday in Bell Green,sadly she died. I heard a woman screaming and found out it was her mum,who was obviously in shock. It was a horrible scene when I got there but there wasn't anything anybody could do. My sympathies go out to the mother and the...

I remember being at Highfield Road watching us playing Newcastle United in a league game.I was sat in the stands with my dad and we watched a young player ripping the City midfield apart,and he was all over the pitch and just ran the show on his own. At the end my dad said" that stocky lad is...

Bob Dylan has been awarded the Nobel prize for literature. Great songwriter,poet,musician,so a worthy winner. But why has it taken so long ?

Got talking to a fellow music fan at the weekend about John Lennon as it would have been his birthday.The conversation got round to dead rock stars as there seems to be so many of them. We ended up with a supergroup of late stars. John Bonham on drums,with Janis Joplin on vocals,and with...

Gutted no match tomorrow so now have to find something to replace it with. Probably finish off painting the bathroom (yawn) then go to the pub and watch England put six goals past Malta. What's on the agenda then tomorrow ?

With managers involved in dodgy dealings,players getting up to no good off the field,and agents infesting our sport,all we hear is the negative side of football.But what are the best things about the beautiful game ? For me its meeting up with fellow fans before a match in the pub and then going...

On the radio this morning there was a phone-in on mobile phones and people who are addicted to them. One bloke said him and his missus conduct conversations and arguments by phone and in the same room ! One person said she couldn't live without her mobile,and another said at a recent large...

What do you miss from your childhood ? I miss climbing trees,playing marbles and conkers,playing football over the fields with mates,and going on adventures. Any others ?

This could be some fight and can Brook pull it off and beat the deadly Golovkin ? I cant see it myself but I hope I'm wrong !

After nearly drowning as a kid I've always had a fear of deep water,and still never conquered that fear. I also can't stand snakes they give me the creeps. I was wondering about fears when someone recently asked me to remove a spider from her bathroom,she was freaking out about this tiny...

I was watching a programme last night and it featured bands from the 60's and 80's. And there was a group called Aztec Camera, and they sounded really good and wondered what happened to them ? Some bands just disappear and fade away, when others just keep going ! Any other groups you think to...

A Blackburn fan was saying how their owners have ruined his club and Chris Waddle mentioned other clubs who have declined over the years. When you hear about other clubs like Blackburn,Blackpool, Bolton,Portsmouth,Leeds, who have struggled for a while,I think its not just my club who has dropped...

The Toulouse striker Martin Braithwaite has pledged to give to charity a thousand Euros every time he scores a goal. That's £864 each time he sticks it in the net, it says in the paper the average wage of a Toulouse player is £360,000 a season,or what Wayne Rooney earns in 8.5 days. The paper...

With team GB going great guns in Rio I imagine watching it at home makes you feel like having a go at a sport yourself ? But if you were able to compete in just one Olympic sport what would it be ?

What sport are you enjoying so far ? Loving the women's rugby sevens, team GB looking strong. I enjoy the weightlifting but haven't managed to see any of it yet.
