    The Holiday 2025 thread

    Me and Mrs GE enjoyed a couple of weeks in Tenerife in February this year flying from Norwich. Near perfect weather and couldnt fault the Tui Blue hotel at Los Gigantes. Stunning nearby volcanic scenery. Will definitely go there again, maybe next year ? Now we got a week in Malta in November...

    Video Haji Wright back in training, tearing up the court. 🏀

    You'd have hated the likes of Alan Hansen and Phil Neville then ! Both extremely gifted at other sports.

    Bonnie Blue Documentary

    Where did the +1000 blokes come from ? It's not as if it was an advert in the personal column of a newspaper. Didnt watch the documentary but may look for it sometime soon. 🤔

    Volunteering

    I'm a volunteer steward at the Norwich Playhouse. On average I do about one show a week and get to sit in the auditorium every time. Been doing it for about 14 years and have loved nearly every minute. I tend to choose the shows featuring stand up comedians and have seen loads who have appeared...

    cricket 2025

    Astonishing win for the Bears after being 149 behind after the 1st innings. Worcester fans on the BBC website were cock a hoop after the second day.... just so wrongly premature 😁🏏

    Since Otis mentioned Sham 69 earlier, I simply cant get 'We're going down the pub' out of my skull.

    Who was in goal the furst game you saw ?

    Doh..... Showing my age. Like a load of young lads, the England World Cup win turned me on to the beautiful game much to the annoyance of my dad who was an avid egg chaser.

    Who was in goal the furst game you saw ?

    Early season 1996/7 against Bury. 3-0 to City with Bobby Gould and John Tudor getting our goals. Assuming it was Bill Glazier but might have been Bob Wesson.

    Waterfront on Netflix. Watched episode 1 late afternoon Sunday and me and Mrs GE had finished off the 8 part series just after midnight. Great drama after a slowish start. Definitely will be looking for a second series in the future. Plenty of claret, sex and violence !

    The character got up my nose as I've met several guys just like him in my life. Great programme though. Watched it all over 3 nights this week and sincerely hope Netflix commission more series in the very near future. Mrs GE also gave it the big thumbs up despite the 'C' bomb being dropped every...

    Your personal City cult hero

    Me too and with two young lads who decided it would be a great idea to leave their coats in the car. Twas by far the coldest game I've attended. A day for 'enthusiastically' jumping up and down... !

    Your personal City cult hero

    Back in the day, I absolutely adored Roy Barry. But for a broken leg, he would have gone on to have a fantastic career, presumably, with one of the major clubs in England. No way could we have kept hold of him as he was pure quality in midfield as a tough tackling general.

    Sky Blues 4 Everton 1

    I was on a petrol station forecourt in Norwich when the result came through on the car radio. I excitedly shouted out '4-1' to my then gf's Canary supporting family sat in various vehicles. Other fuel customers then came rushing up to verify that Everton had just beaten us. I can still smell the...

    FA Cup 2024/25

    For the life of me, I cant understand the waving of huge flags you see at Bundesleague games. It must be near impossible to see any of the action on the pitch. Just hope it doesn't catch on in this country.
