    Making a will and putting things in trust

    We're lucky enough to have something to leave our sons and having not updated our wills since they were little and their future would have been entrusted to friends if we'd died we finally got round to writing new ones. This all comes under the "free wills" service that proliferates nowadays...

    City accounts on bluesky

    Will be getting off X by the end of the week and have joined bluesky instead. Hopefully @Prestwich_Blue and @tolmie's hairdoo do likewise but meanwhile can anyone recommend any City accounts on there?

    Worst (OK and best) band names

    All the best band names were taken ages ago, the classic one wonders like Love, Spirit, Cream and those that put a The in front like the Who and of course it was only right that the Smiths was left for a band that would do it justice. There's the enigmatic combinations like Pink Floyd and then...

    Tweets

    All the tweets in posts are showing as “unavailable” although as others are quoting the posts and referencing the tweets I presume they can see them. Anyone else having this problem? I’ve no problem when I go on Twitter itself

    India

    I'll be going for a two week holiday to India in October, doing it the easy way on an arranged trip with all meals and accommodations, trips etc included in the price but we imagine we'll want to take some cash with us for if we go to local markets, coffee houses or whatever. Haven't a clue how...

    Professional footballers who don't like playing football

    I was talking with my son on the way in yesterday about the drive needed to keep winning and wanting more and mentioned to him that there are some footballers who earn a living from it but don't enjoy it. Who, he not unreasonably asked and well, I couldn't answer. But I know there are some. Can...

    Nearest football team to where you were born - do you have a soft spot for them

    I believe I was born in Dulwich Hospital which looks to be half way between Millwall (the New Den) and Crystal Palace. Can't be doing with either of them but does solve the mystery of why I had a Palace shirt after I'd moved to Manchester. I'd never given it much thought before. Strictly...

    The Ethels

    I'd never heard of these till yesterday, a local version of the Munro's and much easier. Basically a list of 95 "hills, tors, edges and trigs" in the Peak District that you can "do". There's an app for ticking them off and marking progress. Is anyone doing them? We did our first yesterday but...

    Best and worst venues

    I saw the National at the Mayfield Depot last night, great gig but pretty poor venue. It might have seemed like a good idea to turn a big old empty building into a concert venue but not much thought seems to have gone into it. Little effort to work on the acoustics, portaloos and only one exit...
