    If You Could Do Something Else ?

    For sure Nick, but the whole industry/culture has changed so much in a short space of time. People now demand much more than just being fed, it's a whole new art form. Talking of pressure, my youngest recently asked me to bake him a Victoria Sponge cake. Didn't think too much about it but when...

    If You Could Do Something Else ?

    During the Careers sessions towards the end of school years, I seriously thought about becoming a chef. At the time, Henley College did a 4 year Hotel and Management course which covered all the basics in the kitchen and office side, plus 2 x 6 month attachments at hotels in the UK and Europe...

    More worries for Bolton Wanderers?

    Must admit to having a soft spot for Bolton and saw a few of their games when they got promoted to Div 1 in the late seventies. Not sure about the implications for their immediate future but their financial problems originated in their Premier League days, spending beyond their means and...

    Adverts that annoy you

    Me too. Especially when you're channel hopping and it's one long ad break after the other. Or you find something half decent to watch, switch channels and then it's straight into the ads.

    Sporting Contests Past Or Present ?

    Not sure Hamilton is there just yet. Would like to have seen Prost, Senna or dare I say it Vettel up against Schumacher.

    Torch's Counselling Thread

    Great news Torch. After what must have been months of worry and uncertainty for you and your family, it's surely the news you have all been waiting for. One day at a time I suppose and very best wishes both now and for your future.

    Didn't he have a good reputation as a 'death' bowler with his 90mph yorkers? One trick pony I think and probably living on reputation only now.

    The Bears

    Yes go with that. Would love to be beat Hants after we got relegated in the CC and they stayed up a few years back. Certain odour about it if I remember correctly.

    Things that annoy you

    Maybe invest in the cheapest Land Rover you can find and approach the unit over land? Washing it wouldn't be an issue either. Seriously, hope you are billing the company involved for the tyre costs.

    A few months ago I visited the lady who lived next door to my Great Gran in Exhall, not been there for years and lo and behold she still has an outside toilet complete with painted brick walls, lagged pipes and the overhead cistern with chain. No meat hook though!

    Adds to the authenticity if you've got one Wingy. Plus being a good whistler if there's no lock on the door :joyful:

    My dear Dad did just that, took a package from work at 61 and became a member at Warwicks. He usually took in 1 day at each home Championship match during the season, plus the Cup games and enjoyed concessionary rates at the Test matches. Also went away to Derby, Northampton and even Glamorgan...

    No such problems with the printed version...just cut it into small squares, attach them to a meat hook and hang it in the lavvy.
