Going to Hercules Revived at Sutton Cheney for lunch tomorrow (my daughter treating us). She loves it, but I've never been. Hercules Revived, English Country Coaching Inn, Sutton Cheney, Leicestershire

Cologne is nice - have spent quite a lot of time there on business (back in the nineties) staying in the big hotel just over the Hohenzollerbrucke from the Dom (cathedral). However, I'd prefer Koblenz personally. A bit further, but lovely, and at the confluence of the Rhine and the Mosel.

Ooh, I loved Horlicks tabs. My mate's dad was, back in the seventies, the Midland Area Sales Manager for Beecham's Foods. His huge garage was always full of Quosh, PLJ (his car reg was PLJ3), Hunt's drinks, various tinned foods, and Horlicks tabs by the box. We once virtually lived on them on a...

The View is pretty decent. It's an ex Coastguard lookout iirc, and one of the very few places that make that cesspit bearable. The North Sea Observatory cafe at Chapel Point is another.

Yes. Avoid Washington (unless you mean the State).

Sadly I'll miss it as we're away 😔

Cov remain unbeaten this season with a solid bonus point win at Hartpury - a ground they often seem to struggle at. Finishing at a 19-35 scoreline, with five tries, they'll be disappointed not to have turned pressure into points with at least three tries going begging (adjudged forward...

I went from being a time-served machinist on the shop floor, to being a Technical Author after seeing an ad on the notice board there for a Trainee. Same company; completely different discipline. Never looked back, and retired as an Editor. Best move I ever made.

We ran out of Colman's in the moho last week, so bought this in France (Alsace). Yeah, I know, it's German style, but pretty decent. Oddly the company address is on Mahatma-Ghandi Strasse, Darmstadt. Is that the German equivalent of Del-boy's Nelson Mandela House?

A good number of Prem appearances among both Sarries and Quins' sides, but not very close to full strength. However, it's a measure that many Quins fans were predicting they'd clatter Cov, but really struggled until the last quarter. Cov are a decent side right now (missing possibly their most...

Lost the lead right on the death while a prop was in the bin. Good effort though.

I have a house in Tallinn. Well, I would have if the godforsaken bastard soviet authorities hadn't forced my father to sign it over either to them or a family member still living in Estonia. Sadly, the house my grandfather built now belongs to my late father's cousin, who is a bit of a nutcase...

Didn't know that. Guess I might have spotted the lorryloads of body armour (armor) and crash helmets going in eventually. That's always a giveaway. You can hardly see the pitch these days for the amount of lines on it. Surprised the Ah Eff You haven't come up with a rule making it illegal tbh.

Look up. It's all there 😉

There was a GB game there the other week.

It was. Sarries perhaps guilty of complacency. Maybe? I bet Quins aren't!

Cov 28-14 Saracens 4 tries to two. 4109 there. Not a bad day.

I'll certainly chip in if required. Ronald's a top bloke.

Nice to see the first one in particular. Me, my dad, and my granddad stood at the kop end of that terrace in front of the just-completed Sky Blue Stand, for my first ever game at HR. I couldn't see much, but I was hooked. It's interesting that people always refer to the Covered End (the old...

Haven't spotted that, and I was down there recently sorting out bits for the motorhome (Dream ICE and RDP Interiors). Mind you, I drive with my eyes closed most of the time.
