    That's sad - he did some seminal stuff in the 70s and 80s.

    Things that annoy you

    You can bet yer arse the staff are not seeing all of it unless you leave it as cash. Don't know if they do in the States. It makes me laugh that the "add a tip" options on the card readers over there are in percentages - the average American still works in fractions. Decimal fractions are a...

    Death List 2023

    Tom Wilkinson, aged 75, actor in many "Brit" films including The Full Monty and Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, as well as loads of telly. Thought he was older, if i'm honest.

    2023 Championship Table

    Interesting, but of course the table is skewed slightly by the absence of the three teams who were promoted, who obviously had the best records. 70 points (from 46 games, not the 47 we have played this year) - or even Boro's 75 - has never been anywhere NEAR getting automatic promotion in any...

    Down to your sellers to fix it unless you have completed the purchase.

    Things that annoy you

    I struggle with all the streaming services tbh. I ditched Amazon unlimited, Apple and Spotify as they were all too "US-centric" with their playlists and stations. I'm with Youtube Music at the moment but it keeps regurgitating the same tracks when i would rather it gave me a bit wider scope. The...

    We have a family friend who was something connected to military intelligence and the GPS system. In response to this question, he said "What gave you the impression that they *weren't*?"

    Sunderland Fan In Peace

    Did wonder where you were going with that, CvD - the Sky Blue Stand was bulldozed about 18 years ago!

    Empty seats

    I read that as "Have brought numerous mates' Mums ..." - thought you had some kind of gigolo operation going on! As far as attendance figures go, it makes no difference whether ST holders are there or not, they count them as attending. Similarly with every ticket sold. They don't actually know...

    Things that annoy you

    Trigger warnings: I'm also heartily sick to death of the "if you've been affected by any of the issues raised in this item, there is a range of organisations which can provide help and advice, listed on the BBC Action Line (or C4, or whatever) website". The latest was an interview of a woman who...

    I presume you don't have a pet to put the outfit on instead? Or perhaps a matching pair?

    Remember it's the disease, Daz. It's not her being spiteful. You are a fucking hero to look after them. But there are plenty of organisations who can take up the slack when you need them to. Have a happy Christmas.

    Absolutely agree. Also Andy Williams' "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" just been on the radiogram - IS IT? Really??? I'd rather be on holiday in the summer somewhere exotic with just me and my beautiful wife - THAT is what i call wonderful! Oh, and "Christmas is just for the children" -...

    Segregation

    It would be simple to have one or two single-rail fences at just about waist height either side of a single aisle which is able to be filled with coppers and/or stewards. You see that set-up at many grounds, even in the Prem. Or better still, a single taller fence at the line of segregation...

    Nothing wrong with a comfy pair of crimplene slacks and a light sweater :)
