The quality of TV series has improved massively over the past 10 years or so. HBO started the trend, I think, but Netflix and others have really raised the bar across the board. However, personally I think the BBC has got worse over that time. Last Christmas we struggled to find anything we...

Too many to choose from, but these are the ones I've watched more than once and would happily watch again: - Three Colours Trilogy (Polish)* - Diner de cons (French) - this is the vastly superior original of the US remake 'Dinner for Schmucks' - Das Leben der Anderen (German) - Au bout de...

I know... but we loved them and it's hard not to feel bad. Wife seems a bit better today. Time...

I'd like to see Flanagan and Allen at Wembley - underneath the arches.

Done. What next?

I've an awful story to tell about the heat. Both my wife and I feel fucking shit about it and we're struggling with guilt and sadness and God knows what. It doesn't involve humans but it's bloody terrible, so hiding behind a spoiler. Don't look if you are troubled by a very sad story.

What are your views on the fashion for building mock castles during the 19th century? Although gothic in nature some of them had very few if any classic gothic features.

Too bad. I keep chucking chicken manure pellets at them and water with seaweed or home-made comfrey tea once per week. Just have to hope for the best.

Here's my spuds in bags and parsnips and carrots in pots. The tall flower is one of last year's parsnips I accidentally left in - so I'm letting it grow for the seed. Also a photo of my as yet anaemic swede.

Any tips on swede guys? Doing my first this year and whilst they are coming along the edible bit is not very bulbous yet. Do I need to water more often?

Mine are about 12 inches, which is fine for everything apart from root veg. I grow all root veg in bags or old plastic bins. Spuds go in bags and are thriving this year. Carrots and parsnips in bins. I started doing this because I heard that the carrot fly cannot go higher than a few inches...

PUSB-We_are_going_up.

We need much more than two to compete at this level. Even this thread wouldn't get into an average Championship forum.

We've lost control again.

Did you realise that the number 1968 in your SBT handle is actually the year you were born? Talk about coincidences!

Yes, I can think of at least two. One is Conor and the other is his agent.

No way, we'd probably just sell him so Joy could get a new handbag.

That just sounds too naive for what are supposed to be sophisticated investors.

I agree - some would like that. I just think most people prefer less hassle and to have the finished product. I think SISU thought that too.

I think that a football club is largely intangible as an asset, so people who buy are doing so for emotional reasons and not for a big return financially. It's all very well looking at the income from the Premiership but is it realistic to think that this would lead to a large profit? I don't...
