Yes, your eyes aren't deceiving you. I'll start the thread. It's hard enough getting a hiding from a team as good as this, but tonight's officiating really hasn't helped. Can't defend this one.

Because he had a nice new rope bridge made for him... https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-68788690 In days of gloomy news everywhere, it's splendid to see conservation groups supporting nature in this great (greenish) land of ours

For a while I've been writing a blog, as much for me as anyone else. But recently I recorded one of my entries and took to wondering if there are any podcasting creation and sharing platforms that may link in with apps like Spotify. I really enjoyed making the audio I have done. It's a social...

Someone online in my feed said that Lewis Dunk is not international standard. I would agree that Dunk is a decent defender, although I have always felt that if he was one of the best four in England then the side must be weaker in defence than we would hope. I appreciate that comment needs a...

I'll start off with one I wrote in 2016 after turning up for a mid-week cricket match at Streat, a ground I had only visited once previously with the same outcome: Let’s tell a tale of England fair, of willow, cork and leather. Of journeys to the countryside, where old friends come...

There has been a number of threads about favourite shows and comedy has been a among them. But what about your favourite sketch ? This could be a good thread as folk will get to see some bite size content they may not have seen before. I think this one is my favourite, it doesn't get any less...

Now folks, a lot of you have got the golden ticket for this match and whilst you jet off to football paradise a lot of us will be in Windowsill Bay. Pictures appeared all over the place in previous matches. Many of us want to enjoy your experience from afar, so I've started a thread for all the...

Well, the Maidstone match is as expected. So I have taken to trying to decipher modern football chants. So far I have heard: 'We shit on salami' (on repeat) 'Maidstone are flashing, teddy bear let go' 'der, der, der Wombles in the pantry' I may not be up with the modern hymns, but these do...

The passing of Steve Wright had me in a very reflective mood. I grew up in the 70s with household names. We would all have had a favourite. I was introduced to Radio 1 in the late 70s and listened regularly for 4 or 5 years. Then there was the roadshows. I think my favourite was Peter Powell...

An Eeyore original.. The Bee Gees were once painting a house. But Barry had a bit of a headache as a result. He was asked if he felt it was down to the oil based primer. 'No' he said 'It's just emulsion that's taking me over'

Sheffield United- Definitely got a bit of a pickle in it

With all the wailing and gnashing of teeth after tonight's limp effort at The Kenny, I wondered what the worst all time performance you have ever witnessed from the Albion was. Feel free to combine it with your worst away day experience. For me, having traveled the length and breadth of blighty...

All starts on Thursday in the early hours. My first ever memory of TMS was the India tour of 81/82. If you weren't around for it perhaps you were fortunate. But hearing CMJ, Johners et al was the start of a love affair. I missed John Arlott by a year. If you were around for him then you are a...

For me it's RICH TEA FINGERS. ASDA stopped selling them, so I go to Sainsburys and clear the shelf.

The 'ill fan' has since passed away. RIP Iain Purslow, lifelong supporter of Bolton Wanderers. If you read this piece of shit that calls itself a newspaper, please stop.

I do very little mileage in my dinky toy Aygo (about 4,000 a year) but I like to get an annual service. I have been going to a mechanic, lovely chap, but there never seems to be much wrong with cars whenever I take them in. It may sound a little odd, but sometimes I wonder if bills were kept...

Someone mentioned yesterday that this was Albion's first 4-2 win at the AMEX. For some reason I thought we had beaten Birmingham City by that score, but realised it was 4-3 when Inigo used his face. I tried to dig around to see if there were any stats sites that allow such filtering- and stats...

Dr Who most enjoyable. And I wonder if Angie's real purpose in returning is to get revenge on Dirty Den. One thing for certain, Ncuti Gatwa was born for that role. But unfortunately, like a quality gem that's found by Albion's recruitment team, I can't see him hanging round for too long.

Remember the 70s when your parents bought you a cassette recorder and you (didn't) tape the top 40 on a Sunday evening ? Tom Browne on a Sunday evening, or maybe you came along later. I remember once taping (in error of course) and hearing our budgie chirping along to Wild West Hero. Anyway...

I found a couple of weevils in the house yesterday. One of them had chewed through my furniture, the other was generally just striding around the house and having the odd nibble. My neighbour asked me why I only threw the first one out. I said it was because it was the lesser of two weevils.
