I just emailed my friend David to wish him a relaxing holiday period. His almost instant reply ...

Arms in the air like that, touching the ball. I mean why? There's probably a 5% chance of a goal from the corner, 95% chance of being caught out by VAR, and a 95% chance of a penalty being scored.

So Google invented email in 2004 did they? News to me!

Good old UU. One of my jobs with them in the early 80s was collecting and reporting on the reservoir levels for the Goyt Valley reservoir and others. Teggsnose, Lamaload, Trentabank in the Macclesfield Forest area; Errwood, Fernilee, Bottoms, Woodhead, Torside, Rhodeswood etc.

I was there from August '79 to December '79. They took me in the expectancy that I would pass my A levels, which I didn't. Lovely building though, and I sometimes go back for a bite to eat. Unfortunately not very often at their prices.

Six months at Refuge Assurance on Oxford Road in Manchester, then joined North West Water, where I worked for 39 years and 9 months. Opted for redundancy with 12 month's tax free redundancy offer. I could have stayed another three months and missed out on redundancy but would have got to go on...

Further ahead in terms of timescale (a future possibility), or progress having been made (an earlier possibility)?

Thanks for your assessment of the game on Sunday, and the player. If he came to us, rest assured we would look after him and hopefully see him develop into an even better player. It seems a tad arrogant to say that certain players are a good fit with certain teams, but I wouldn't want to see...

I agree with this. He has been loyal to them through all sorts of chaos and shenanigans. If that's true what they said to him last summer, it's pretty shameful. Another who has given his all, never complained, is Maguire.

Fernandes again. "... quality with the corner for Casemiro's goal and then that free-kick - you get in team of the week if you spank one of them in the top bin." Funny that, because in the same game, Tavernier spanked one of them into the bottom bin - just as good a goal as the United free kick...

No, but they have delayed Troy's Team of the Week again in order to get at least one Rag player in it. I reckon it will be their keeper this time around.

That was never a handball. For one it was unintentional, and secondly it hit his sleeve up near his shoulder.

Surprise Mount has been withdrawn. He's been positively meowing tonight.

My son was best man at my other son's wedding in August. His speech was brilliant. Way better than that film.

Haha. I'll have a look. I meant to check it out last time it was discussed by you and Damocles. I've got two adult sons. I pay for Spotify Premium, one son pays for YouTube, and my other son pays for Netflix, and we family share them all. Works out at a reasonably cost effective way of sharing...
