Absolutely fantastic film I could watch time and again. Brian Glover's part is my worst nightmare as a PE teacher though. Even bigger bastard than Jack Pilbin was to us!

Never watched Kes, I take it?

Bring back bastards like this... (Not really though).

Fair comment. But this just seemed kinda raw. Someone who was a 'real' leader of the free world (unlike the current klutz-in-chief) gunned-down in plain sight. And here was the car in which he took the bullet. And when I saw it, it was only 30-odd years after it happened. Hard to describe, but...

Thought you said Trump for a mo... Never mind. I saw the car that JFK was shot in on display at Dearborn Greenfield Museum some years ago. Struck me as slightly tasteless, but Americans, eh?

Yeah. But like people who pronounce burglary as burgulry.

Fair enough. I shall tell my mate to pay more attention to what he's watching on the box in future. FFS 🤣 Told you I wasn't a car racing fan!

I assume they did a bit about him? Someone told me he'd died this morning. I do recall him from the sixties when all my car racing fan mates used to go on about him incessantly. I stuck with speedway and drag racing though...

Stirling Moss. I was never a fan of roundy-round car racing, but he really was iconic, when he first burst onto the scene, and until his dying day.

Absolutely. Ex have topped the league in each of the past four seasons, yet, ridiculously, haven't been crowned 'champions' each time. A travesty of money over integrity. (The previous season they were equal top too, but officially second on a win-count, even though they had a better...

Apology not accepted. No excuse. ;)

Today and tomorrow in Cov's case I believe. It's just the right thing to do - even though they desperately need the income. Wouldn't occur to Wasps though. https://www.coventryrugby.co.uk/news/

Not illegal? Then the law is an ass. The fact that Cov have cancelled their indoor event today, and the Sunday Lunch, due to the Tier 2 move tells you all you need to know about the standards of the two clubs. Broadstreet have cancelled too I believe (and they aren't even physically in the Tier...

Cov, mate. Just need to make that step up 😉

The mob?

Just totted up. I've moved 11 times since I left 'home' in '74. Feels like more than that somehow. Hate to think how much I've paid solicitors and estate agents. Gah!

Ours was 110k in a cheap but quite pleasant rural area. Sold for 210k!

Our last one was a ratty but big Edwardian bungalow which we bought for about 40k under the asking price in 2010 (they were dreamers who thought they were going to make a killing on late mum's asset). We spent about 60k sorting it, but five years later we cleared 40k on it, so it was certainly...

Not my favourite people. Right PITA trying to deal with them over my late father-in-law's sheltered flat in Evesham.

Think carefully - but remember the old one that went something like 'my wife left me for my best mate. I still miss him'. We keep moving. We're currently in a house we downsized to five years ago, but we're both getting itchy feet again. Expensive hobby though.
