Is this significant? "We are pleased to have been able to provide access to the funds needed to make significant improvements to both St. Andrew’s and the Men’s First Team’s Elite Performance and Innovation Centre at Henley-in-Arden. Wast Hills upgrades, for the Women’s team and Academy players...

A few years ago a friend of mine from my youth in Rugby dropped dead from a totally unexpected heart attack. He and his wife had moved to Kent many years ago, so I hadn't seen him for a while although we'd kept in touch. Now, I've just had a message to tell me that her son (John's stepson) was...

Is there a Tube thread on here? If so, I can't find it. Anyway, I frequently find myself in a YT black hole , and just happened upon this one, which amused me somewhat.

We've recently moved my mum much nearer to us into sheltered accomodation, and now we need to sell her (actually my) house to fund her ongoing care. We were there at the weekend clearing out in readiness for valuation when the chap next door came round and asked for first dibs as he wanted to...

Well, finally Cov get to play in front of an unrestricted crowd (apart from two 'red zone' areas that is). Yesterday's friendly - I say friendly, but games against Nottingham are habitually full of niggle, and this was no different - ended with a five tries, five goals to two tries win, at...

Anyone know where this away friendly was? I'll be fairly impressed if anyone does.

Somewhat OT, I know, but... George Curtis 25 years ago today on the occasion of his son Michael's marriage to Marti. He just never changed from the day I first clapped eyes on him at HR until then - and really hasn't changed much even now. My hero 😉 (Marti OKd my sharing this btw).

Is this likely? https://the72.co.uk/234649/alan-nixon-derby-county-face-massive-points-deduction-as-finer-details-emerge-following-season-finale/

Farkin' tough watch thus far. My missus is in tears here. Too much like home truths.

Just been on Midlands Today. Goal for Cosmos with an assist from Edson Arantes do Nascimento. Now a school caretaker on the IoW. How life changes.

Both these rugby players have a strong, common, connection with CCFC. Any idea?

Just came across this Richard Herring podcast with Brian Blessed. It's very long (the clip, not the cock) but if you like BB as much as I do, it's worth a look. Fancy Smith, Flash Gordon, naughty lady gorillas, Picasso's Dove of Peace, and much more. Legend (IMVHO)

What's that all about then? It's being heavily pushed everywhere you look just lately. Is it just another faddy thing like Atkins and Cabbage Soup? They say not, but I'm not at the point of clicking through just yet. Anyone on it/doing it?

Anyone able to recommend a decent local double-glazing company (NE Cov)? My mum needs a new patio door, sharpish (it's pretty bad) and I'd like to set up a quote from someone completely trustworthy and reliable, but I have limited knowledge of local businesses these days. She's on her own, and...

All academic atm, and apologies if this has been covered already (please point me to the thread if so). But... what are the financial implications of a top-place (or second) as opposed to a play-off win? I guess there's a decent sum awarded to the champions, but how does it compare to the...

Classy huh? Totally unacceptable IMV. Lucy Gillett: Crystal Palace Women keeper suffered sexist abuse during game

If you're of a slight rugby-bent and not undertaking the long haul to the frozen north tomorrow, remember Cov take on Nottingham at the BPA for their final homer of the season. There's a bit going on besides the match too: Quote: We are all set for tomorrow to take on Nottingham in the last...

Not sure if this has been posted, but, just heard on C&W that Leamington Archery Club are being made homeless due to the Pests' training centre at Old Leamingtonians. The charm offensive continues then...

Bit off topic, admittedly: Just been watching BBC Breakfast, where they had a feature on 'talking statues' in London and Manchester (Sherlock Holmes, LS Lowry etc. etc.). The idea is that you phone a number on the statue (I assume; I missed the first bit) and an actor talks to you from the point...
