    Neighbour very kindly dropped in a few craft ales following today’s result. Klute by Williams Brothers (from Aldi) was a very pleasant surprise, I was expecting a standard IPA but it has a subtle lemon flavour to it - very nice, and a quick Google tells me it’s only 99p - bargain. I have also...

    Will we stay up ?

    We will stay up. It’s going to get worse over the next few games, but we’ll turn a corner. I get the emotive reactions after today’s disaster, but it’s far from over. If you’re feeling that down after today, its probably worth taking a break from here for as it’s going to be an incredibly...

    Classic again. You missed the point of my post and then tried your usual redirect tactic. Honoured you recognise my posts though - they must resonate.

    Classic. Get those Robins out seeds planted pre game.

    House Renovations - Hints / Tips / Recommendations

    Fair point, although perhaps that’s my fault and I’m doing him a disservice by calling him a builder. Our project is small compared to some of the jobs he usually contracts on, and he has a set group of specialists/tradesmen he usually uses (also all known to us). The company has won awards for...

    Play like we have the last two games and we’ll get a result. No idea how Cardiff play now, but if it is direct then Ostigard has proven himself against more experienced strikers than Moore. Don’t know if McFadzean is available, but if so I would be tempted to put him for the aerial battle...

    I am not suggesting we do, but based on the fact we’ve supported him through rehab and surgeries with the best specialists available, would suggest MR believes he can offer something. Plus, as per my post, it’s low risk, potentially high reward. He’s already on the books and in the budget...

    If you could send their details over that would be great - thanks BSB.

    Signed up for the Beer52 new customer deal under my partners name, and received this exact same box! Looking forward to the DDH Jaipur and the Siren pale (they are one of my favourite breweries). I will keep the pale bitter for a last resort when I have nothing else left!

    Running

    Really disappointed I still have not had a chance to run, but I have completed a few longer walks and I am not as tired/breathless after, so my aim is to run next week. It is especially frustrating as I also found out I have a marathon place through my chosen charity. I ran London in 2019, but...

    House Renovations - Hints / Tips / Recommendations

    Thanks for the responses everyone. I appreciate how key the Builder is in all of this, which is why we are very fortunate in that our Builder is a family member - and a reliable one, and importantly not one who we will fall out with! He is even more excited than us I think. Plus he has...

    House Renovations - Hints / Tips / Recommendations

    Early stages, so hopefully not cursing it. In the process of completing on an old 1930's house that needs a significant renovation. I was looking for a project, but perhaps not as big as this one! Anyway, we have a builder sorted and ideas for plans, but looking for hints/tips/recommendations...

    Schmeichel Doyle

    Not really seen anyone in my time that I would class in the same bracket as historical legends you hear/read about, so compared to someone like Jimmy Hill, then no. So with that caveat, I would say Doyle is definitely as close as they come within my time as a fan. Never the most talented on the...

    Really like the way he talks about us - can tell he has a real affiliation.

    Jodi Jones

    Not as big a Jones fan as others, but I don’t see why we wouldn’t sign him. For me he has it all to prove - he had a great season in L2 and was a real stand out. However, the season before in L1 wasn’t overly inspiring, but equally he was stepping up a division in only his third season as a pro...

    Shame for him. Always want to see ‘one of our own’ do well. I was disappointed when he left, but in all honesty his biggest asset was by far his pace and the way we try to play now, we need more than that. He got bullied too many times and his passing was poor. Saying that, I’d have him back...

    Who is Big Dave?

    Odds on the first poster to accuse another of being Dave Boddy during a heated discussion?

    I like HonestBrew as well - a few mates use it and I’ve always been impressed with the selection. Always going to get the odd duffer unfortunately but at least you know what you don’t like!

    Beer52 offering 8 craft beers (and with Beer52 they should be good quality breweries) for £5.95 (including postage), for new customers only. Well worth a go, especially if you fancy trying something different.

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Started watching Defending Jacob on Apple TV with my partner - seems good so far, if not particularly unique or show stopping. However the main reason for posting; anyone with an Apple TV, is it just me or is it completely counter intuitive when using it on a TV (i.e. the Apple TV box as...
