Watching the BBC news, they were reporting on a teenage lad who was involved in a fatal motorway accident. I can't understand why they needed the correspondent to be stood, in the dark, close to a motorway. There was absolutely nothing to see relating to the accident. The same when reporters...

Attempting trick shots is fine and entertaining, but only if we are comfortably ahead, like 5-1!

I was seven when this "comedy" film was screened.

I seem to recall Mancini giving Mario a bollocking when he tried some trick shot and missed an open goal. I think it was only a friendly pre-season game but Roberto wasn't best pleased.

Growing up in the 50's, our house just had the one open fire in the "parlour". I can recall quite clearly, one Christmas day complaining how cold the house was. Father got angry and kicked my brother me into the street, and told us to stay out for at least an hour. When he did finally allow us...

A sports journalist (D.Express?) suggested that last nights players were limited in their desire to be more adventurous and more concerned of making any costly mistakes. Thereby ruining any chance of more regular selection.

I missed an episode of "The Mind of J G Reeder" on TPTV to watch the football.

My father taught me the game when I was about 10 or 11, he thought I was quite good. He took me to visit a family friend in Manchester who was a champion at some level. I'd never hear of "Scholar's Mate" before. (Mate in 4 moves).

Brilliant film - "1917"

I've been Type2 for over 10 years. My treatment plan was, a full Diabetic clinic every 6 months. To save money, the full check-up was revised to every 9 months, then changed again to every 12months (with just a HbA1c after 6)). Current plan is full clinic every 12 with a halfway blood test, but...
