I went nearly four years 'dry' without really needing to. I just started one of my regular monthly dry spells (about two or three a year, usually) and it spun out to almost four years! I broke it on Christmas Day (I'd decided to do so some weeks before) with a glass of sherry before lunch, and...

(yuge).

Cue someone pulling you up on your spelling of cue 😉

Yeah, me too. I was 13, and as stated elsewhere, it was a bit over my head too, but I feckin' loved it all - particularly in the covered end at 'that' season-defining match. It was such a blow, though, when that incredible 25 match unbeaten run came to an end on the first day of the following...

So sorry Houch. This thread somehow completely passed me by until just now. No idea how. Try to stay strong mate. It's an awful thing to go through. I can't offer prayers, but I'll be thinking of you both. X

Try Dancing Down the Stony Road. It's proper Delta Blues-style for the most part, inspired by his struggle with pancreatic cancer around the turn of the century, and as such might be seen as a hard listen - but I absolutely love it. Probably the best thing he ever did (IMHO of course).

One of the 'old school' albums my two girls know so well due to me doing just that.

I still dig the dvd out on occasion. Utterly brilliant.

When I was a youth (an ice-age ago) a mate used to jam about seven or eight in a deep bowl, bung on what seemed like two pints of milk, and eat the friggin lot. And he's still alive at 75 and about half my size - which probably proves what a healthy breakfast Weetabix is (?).

I broke up in December 2008. Not going back.

George Shepherd has now signed his first pro contract with the club, just a few days after turning 17. Congrats to him, and good on the club rinfencing a genuine developing talent.

Get these lads on the pitch with some fireworks 😉😄

500w would do you well. That and a couple of decent-sized AGMs (or better still, a couple of hundred Ah of lifepo4) and a PSW inverter and MPPT, and you'd be good. An all-in-one powerbank would be much easier though - but probably more expensive 'pound-for-pound'.

Probably. Mind you, solar is getting cheaper and cheaper now. This 500w at City Plumbing is much less than half what I paid for a 400w three years ago. Now's the time to buy!

I put a Bluetti powerbank (that was surplus to requirements as I don't use it in the van any more) in the shed at the bottom of the garden. A solar panel (also surplus...) on the south-facing roof, and Robert's yer mother's brother. It looks after itself, and has never gone below about 75%...

Don't see much King Power tat around town now do we? How it's changed since the late 20-teens.

I think he means that he's trolling this thread - he's reverted to the badge with the missing arrow slits and phoenix eye, hence, subtle... 😉

You have to think so. Subtle as feck!

Thought perhaps I'd imagined it. Sad though as I used to love that place.
