As it says. There must be a way. There was a man called Mick who used to drink in my old local in East London. He’d had problems over the years that resulted in a nervous breakdown and he still suffered. I warmed to him as he was the first person to befriend me. I had heard he’d attempted...

I love to travel. It’s changed my life. I’ve been to: France America Spain (three times) Sweden Serbia Georgia Germany (six times) Denmark Ireland Albania Hungary Slovakia Turkey Azerbaijan Anyone beat that?

Ian Cheeseman has described an under 21 City keeper as saving shots like a prime Joe Hart and distributing as well as Ederson. Sounds promising, doesn’t it? Will he adopt his mother’s maiden name? It was bad enough when we signed a player called Berti.

Wound up in the courts today over debts of £500,000. Very sad for the fans and any genuine people connected to the club. Can anyone explain what really happened there? Idiots running the show?

I'm in the process of buying a two bed flat and I need to completely furnish it. I've got some money behind me so cost isn't an issue (within reason) but how much should I budget? I need a front room, kitchen and bedroom to a good standard. I've never had to do this before so I've no idea how...

Which website should I use to buy my own web domain? I've Googled it and there's a fair few. Is it wise to use one over another? Thanks in advance.

Anybody got any interesting hobbies? I was always in to music as much as football when I was younger although I'm losing interest now. New artists and bands are pretty poor. Sporadically I was a bassist, singer, lyricist, gig promoter and DJ. "Indie" was always my thing having grown up with The...

I had an epiphany the other night whilst in bed and struggling to sleep. As a budding author, I want to complete my debut novel during my sabbatical and then publish it myself. Pending success, I want to publish other people too. This will mean setting up a company to do so. What do I do? I've...

I love this new feature allowing easy upload of photos from your smart phone. I rarely access Bluemoon via a laptop or PC so this should make it a bit more like Twitter or Facebook. Share favourite photos from your phone with a simple explanation. I’ll start: Currywurst is a German street...

I’ve booked appointments with estate agents for tomorrow to come and view my house in London. I’m looking at valuations for the moment but am keen to sell and get out of this fucking city ASAP. Any tips on which agent to choose? I’ve a rough idea on how much it’s worth but we want a quick...

As it says. Or even Semi Pro at a reasonable level? What’s it like? I’ve always been cynical as to whether our support from the stands and terraces makes any difference to you. I’d love to have played but I’m inept at all sport.

I’m home hunting now and am weighing up the convenience of a flat over the responsibility of a house. I figure the latter takes more looking after. Every block of flats / apartments is listed as coming with an additional service charge. They’re varying from £60 a month to £150! That’s quite the...

I'm probably missing something obvious here but how does a bureau de change make money? I travel a lot now and need currency but when you see them advertise 0% Commission 0% Charges etc... What's actually in it for them? I tend to use them as my bank charges each time I withdraw overseas.

Two nights tentatively booked in Istanbul in November as I make my way to Azerbaijan away with Wales. I have a hotel in Taksim and wanted to check it was the best area for nightlife. All I’ll want is food and bars. I also plan to visit their Grand Bazaar emporium so a logical way via public...

No need to confirm what your birth certificate says, but do you honestly like your name? I’m indifferent towards mine but would prefer something more unique. My dad wanted to call me Gareth over a childhood hero of his but mum refused as I’d have a famous name. I used to know a Tom Jones etc...

I’m looking at brushing up on my Spanish for future trips to Malaga and Buenos Aires. It’s courtesy more than anything. I also will look at Welsh when I go and live there. Can anyone speak anything aside from English to a good level? What, how and why? Thinking about how to learn.

Hearing a number of kiosks / bars didn’t open today. Does anyone know what the problem was?

Any tips or recommendations for the German capital? I’m having 24 hours there in September before I get to Aarhus, Denmark. I’ll have time for just a couple of things to do. In to football (obviously), alternative music, beers and what not. Where to stay area wise? What to see? Thanks!

I was interviewed for a new job on Tuesday and am yet to hear from them. I’m of the belief that no news is good news but will it ever be worth sending a quick e-mail to find out whether there’s any news on a decision? They recruited directly so there’s no agency consultant to go through. I...

Sad news from the Welsh village I spent my summers at as a child came in a few weeks back. My dad’s mate’s son passed away unexpectedly at 35. No cause of death was initially revealed until the coroner confirmed “diabetic ketoacidosis” (I’ve typed that from memory.) I did Google it to try and...
