    Got tickets booked for the Alhambra so far, they're not currently available for Mezquita, so it's pencilled in to the itinerary. It does look very impressive, so will try and get early ones - we're staying right next to it, so shouldn't be an issue getting there! Will have a look at your videos...

    Got Málaga, Granada and Cordoba booked for September with a bit of R&R afterwards. Tick a few more cities off the list and see some more Alcazars, which are some of the most incredible buildings I've seen.

    Yes, we were just off the square with the Hercules Columns but even walking to the Plaza de Espana is pleasant, as it's flat and there's mostly things to see. We also walked to the Puente del Alamillo when I realised it was the bridge on the front of the engineering magazines when I was at Uni.

    Went last year, lovely place. Most of the main spots have been mentioned, but if you like ruins, head out to Italica. It's a Roman town where Hadrian (of the wall fame) was born. You can get a bus there from the bus station, took about 20 minutes and it's the least touristy place imaginable...

    Antoine Semenyo | Medical at City Thursday - Sky (p230)

    That wasn't from playing out on the left wing and doesn't make him any younger. If you think he's an option out on the left wing this season, let alone next, then good for you but thankfully the club doesn't.

    If we offer to pay the full £65m in one go by the 10th, there's nothing they can do. If we don't want to, it'll be more difficult as they would likely get more for him in summer, but if we've got the cash, we can still pay it all on the last day.

    One assist from six years ago - I'm convinced, let's not sign Semenyo and stick a 31yr old who will probably be leaving in summer there instead

    Other than Doku, have you ever watched the others play on the left wing. Wow.

    Electric cars

    Bought ours from a dealer, albeit they sold a different brand. Risks are basically same as for any car, where it's always going to give some protection to buy from a company. A lot of the cars have pretty extensive warranties on batteries and motors - I suspect there would always be a lot of...

    Electric cars

    Had an electric car for about 18 months and wouldn't go back to ICE as long as I can charge from home. Bought 2nd hand and almost 4 years old and only thing it's needed is rear brakes as they corroded from lack of use - VW has gone back to rear drums because they are used so little. I never...

    Seat Counters 25/26

    Got the lad (ST holder) a ticket for Newcastle which will be his first away. He's there at uni but haven't been able to get one for the league games. Hopefully he can do a few more aways over the next few years, although generally impossible to get tickets for anything remotely local at a...

    Sunderland (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Worst pitch I've seen in the PL for about 20 years, especially considering the weather hasn't been bad. Suits them so can see why they do it. We looked like we'd had a similarly hard battle at Forest a few days ago and the injuries didn't help. Sort of game that could have done with Rodri and...

    Electric cars

    Definitely not Manchester's first motor show - I went to one at Central (GMex as was) in the 80s. Can't remember the exact year but the MG Maestro was the star attraction.

    Have a look at this. Gives some advice on what to look for in an advisor from an advisor. There will be other useful bits across his various YouTube videos or podcasts, but this was the first one of his I found and can be trusted in his suggestions, not least as his usual advice is most people...

    Pensions

    You're assuming they thought through the rules they announced... It's still not clear what happens if you retire at 55 and are not 57 by the time the retirement age changes. Unless you've got a protected retirement age in your pension plan, and many don't, you may not be able to continue...

    Semenyo will be next to Haaland with Donnarumma launching balls into the box. Pep has finally realised Stan was right and you can't play tika-taka football in the PL.

    When will a decent film be made again?

    A bunch of old farts moaning that they don't make things like they used to. So let me join in. I do think CGI has had a negative impact on the quality, as they just shove loads of post-production at things, potentially after the initial screenings go badly. When you see how they made the...

    Sea swimming at Christmas why ?

    I've no issue with anyone doing anything they don't tell everyone about. If you're doing anything just to be able to post about it on social media you're a needy prick. So that should have upset the vegans and cyclists...
