    Look after Woolfy

    Just had a look on TWTD and some rather mixed opinions on Woolfy joining us. The fact that he's a born and bred Ipswich lad made him a bit of a hero. Others made comments on the fact he has poor pace and somebody said he is L1 standard. I get the overall impression that most didnt want to see...

    Look after Woolfy

    What's your opinion on signing Nunez from your hated rivals ? Is it a case of 'snigger, snigger' or 'he cant be any good as hes from Naaarrridge'

    Great moments in British Television history

    An absolutely stunning piece of British TV.... I give you the final couple of minutes of Black Adder as they prepare themselves to go over the top then (presumably) get shot to pieces by the German machine guns. No music, no credits, just the sound of the guns as the british troops are frozen in...

    As said in a previous post, Hostage on Netflix was really enjoyable. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes believable drama. Nice to see Suranne Jones kissing a man for a change 😁💋

    The Old Five

    Somebody can check it out but our 1st season in the top tier (1967/8) included a win against Burnley where we scored 5. Maybe a Bobby Gould hat trick ?

    The Holiday 2025 thread

    Yes. That's the one. As you say, the sea view was awesome. On our first stay there, we were allocated a room land facing which was ok but we decided to pay the extra and have an ocean view this year. Really loved the hotel and found it difficult to find fault. Half board was more than adequate...

    The Holiday 2025 thread

    Low to mid 20's every day. The Atlantic keeps it reasonable nearly all year round. Just perfect for me. I cant hack it when the temperature goes 30°c or more. Malta should be just over 20° in November. Again, brilliant for me.

    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...

    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...

    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 😁🏏
