I meet up before the game in the Horseshoes with half a dozen City fans. The jukebox is playing great rock tracks, lads are playing pool, and the banter is good. In fact we have said pity there's a game on a few times,as we have enjoyed the couple of hours in the pub so much. I'll always keep...

You're right. If the rugby team are at home and the Sky Blues are away I'll go to a game. I used to go to Coundon Road occasionally and enjoyed it. But as a rugby fan I could never follow Wasps, now to me that would make me disloyal !

The game was poor,the atmosphere was poor, in fact we all said we should have stayed in the pub.And how about the away support or lack of it ? Pathetic. I hear a fair few fans go to the Butts to watch the winning rugby team. It is tempting,but I'd probably feel disloyal going even though it is...

I've got Mettalica on now that's how I deal with it all. Next up Motorhead !

Just back in half pissed. What a load of crap that was. We need some midges to bite our players !

On that hike in Scotland me and my lad covered our bodies in repellant. But I got bit bad even in my sleeping bag. They are nasty bastards, and the midges too !

A light flurry and the country comes to a stop. By the way I used your David Cassidy joke yesterday, went down well. Of course I'm going to use it again in the pub later too. You should copyright it !

June July August worse months for midges in Scotland. Or was that midgets ?

It is cold this morning as they predicted. I remember as a kid going to Highfield Road helping other fans clear snow off the pitch, to get the game on. Jimmy Hill calling us heroes, can't imagine SISU or Fisher saying that to us if we had to do similar today !

About midges. I went hiking with my then young son,and a guide was explaining to us beware of these biting insects, as we had never heard of them. The Scotch guide added that they only bite English people.He winked at me but my lad said " That's out of order." I still rib him about that years...

You expect it up North but being in Cov which is central, we don't get much really. I work outdoors and like all seasons,but do like the winter months. I've been hiking/walking in West Scotland, the Torridon Hills. We had 4 seasons in one day, and got attacked by midges. Other than that it was...

I was expecting it to be wintry today as the forecast was cold with a drop in temperature. It was mild and sunny ! Even had a glass of pop off a customer instead of tea. I reckon they make it up as they go along. It reminds me of a Spike Milligan sketch when Spike as a newsreader says " Right...

Looked it up. You may have a point. My customer has changed dramatically in six months. His missus can't cope now as he's unpredictable etc.

Change your thoughts and habits. Worked for me but not for everyone.A mate of mine same age too spent 3years inside, came out last year. He said its no place for blokes our age, I could of told him that years ago !

As I've said on here before I've been in prison, but been out twenty years. When I was doing time it was months of boring work and long hours banged up in a cell,shared with 2 others. No complaints though as we deserved to be locked up. But prison won't change anybody, you have to change yourself.

Sex offenders go on Rule 43 which means segregation from other cons. But many a nonce (sex case) has been killed by another con on rule 43. So even there they're not entirely safe. They do kill each other !

Glad I started this thread now as I was a bit unsure as it is a tricky subject. But reading the comments/stories it has raised some good points. Only last week a customer of mine who's around my age, he has dementia and it is scary to see how in just six months how rapidly his decline. When I...

But my sister who has worked as a dementia nurse for a few years says it is becoming a much younger illness/disease.

It's because you're in mourning for David Cassidy !

Yes I am worried about my sister. A typical nurse loves helping others but not so good on herself.
