I'll take a look. Cheers.

I have zip interest in 'hockey', but my mate and his missus who live the other side of Banbury have recently taken to travelling up and supporting the Blaze, and rave about it, so I guess they're doing something right.

My job. I jacked it in twelve years ago.

Y'know, I have no idea what our bit of Radford was called, but it was just behind the showroom and up a set of very dingy concrete stairs. Long demolished of course. We moved to the GEC block (upstairs to the right of the main entrance stairs).

I was at Radford to start with; then Browns Lane, Whitley, and finally a very short spell at Gaydon before VR and early (56) retirement. All Service Dept based. I'm very happy to get my monthly Jag Pension (and BMW Pension - previous employment at Climax; it's a convoluted process!), and wild...

I love autos (proper autos, not that DSG shite) having driven many through working for Jag for thirty years until I retired 12 years ago. However, I've never owned one as 'er indoors didn't want one... until early this year, ironically because the dragon decided she wanted one! The reason? Her...

Just got in (maybe 20 mins ago...) and read through this thread, not knowing the final score. Bumpy ride. Covcraig@Bury definitely Man of the Match.

Have read just about all of James' output. Superb. Mark Billingham's stuff, similar genre, is worthwhile too. Peter Robinson (loads of them) are decent, if slightly 'gentler' than the aforementioned, and are also worth a go. And if you fancy a slight change of style, any (all!) from John Grisham...

There were a few about. Ours was a good lad back in the sixties. If you heard his Velocette LE coming you stopped what you were up to though. A particular well-known Leicester Tigers back row was a nasty fucker in the eighties. Another mate of mine, who had just signed up to be 'Special'...

I recall an apprentice (Herbert's Edgwick) friend of mine talking about him back then in the early seventies. Geoff was the local copper in Holbeach , and my mate lived in the next village, Pinchbeck. He seemed to rate him as a decent, fair, PC - which probably means he'd normally only clout you...

Just finished Rankin's Heart full of Headstones - finishing with Rebus being incarcerated. Going to have to buy the next (final?) one now - at full price no doubt!

Ron Ely - Tarzan. Apparently passed last month, but news seems to have only just made it out of the jungle.

It was. Winning ugly again - but it was a win at a horrible ground where we and several other 'better' sides have failed over the last couple of seasons. And... Newcastle only bloody won one!

Correct. It's a (bad) joke. If promoted, they'd get roughly half of the amount the current sides get - and the relegated side would get similar, ensuring that the two swap leagues at the end of that season. Utter bollocks of a game (and that's coming from someone who's followed it for well over...

Newcastle losing 25 (30? 35? eventually?) on the bounce isn't exactly TV box office though.

Because they love their cosy ten-team cartel. Corrupt bunch of bastards. Jon's thinly-veiled threat to move to 'another' league sounds more and more appealing.

It says something when one is disappointed with a 36-19, 5-0 win away! They should've been away and clear at half-time but for several inexcusable errors. However, I'll take a 100 percent start, and the only side in the league that can say that. Ealing will be nervous yet again.

The other flats ya turnip 🤣😉

Frank Fritz (American Pickers).

It's certainly a big improvement on previous efforts. Hope they keep it up.
