Can’t disagree with many of the arguments against keeping the Games. But if they are to continue Bowls should be one of the sports retained as one of the few where people can continue to compete at the highest level well into their twilight years. Mind you, Brighton Council may have a different...

"To better protect animals and their habitats Green MPs will push for: The creation a new Commission on Animal Protection. A ban on all blood sports, including trail hunting"

You didn’t need a ticket Crispy. It was queue and pay at the turnstiles. Hence, absolutely rammed. Great atmosphere but if memory serves me right, poor game with 1-1 draw saw us promoted and Rochdale avoid relegation

Took up bowls 4 or 5 years ago and now hooked. Easy game to learn but harder than it looks to master. Very sociable activity and helped me rebuild social life after relationship breakdown. Now a Director of Preston Bowls Club. We are an indoor and outdoor club on London Road opposite Preston...

Having just moved back to Bramble Rise at the top of Copse Hill after 30 years away, I heartily contour. 5 minute stroll down to the local shop for a pint of milk but half an hour's acclimatisation half way home before tackling the summit

"And the ball is in the 'relatively' safe hands of Perry Digweed" - 1983 Liverpool away FA Cup. Radio commentary, possibly Peter Jones (?)

Many thanks Titanic. Now just need to find a bar in Maspalomas showing the game!

Can anyone point me to a link for the ticket exchange please? Trying to list 2 adjacent seats in E1E Thanks

Some of us unfortunately are stuck here. So using my new pass for the first time when I hit 60 on Friday will do little to ease that pain :(

Apart from the fairly basic point that other 'freedom fighters' had political representation and the vote denied to the overwhelming majority of South Africans. 'So Mr Adams, you don't like the fact that there appears to be discrimination in the Council's housing policy. Tell you what, stand...

The man is 94 years old, dying and not responsible for the actions of those now in power. Rather, the actions of some of those now in power provides further evidence for just how great he was. Very few if any of us would have had the courage and wisdom to forgive and work with our oppressors in...

So sorry Langley and I hope that your fears are not realised. God forbid that they should be but if they are then try and think seriously about going ahead with all the contact you can, even a final one. I only observe and that is painful enough and I cannot imagine how difficult it can be for...

Sorry Raleigh - not sure I have understood the question. But I can confirm that many children are waiting too long for an adoptive or permanent foster home. Relatively few of these are in residential care homes as local authorities will not use these except as a last resort because foster care...

It is so encouraging to read such balanced and well thought through posts about such an emotive topic. I have been a social worker for the past 27 years for most of which I have been working in adoption and fostering. For the past few years I have owned a small independent fostering agency and...

Played a couple of seasons as an awestruck 17/18 year old with Nobby Upton. When he retired Nobby worked for Knowles bakery in Worthing and played in our Sussex Sunday League side for a few seasons. Was also joined one Sunday morning by Wally Gould who was on holiday in England having emigrated...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Priceless The same thug who spent 5 mins berating the ref for not sending Blayney off for deliberate handball and then tried to take the freekick from inside our penalty area! Almost as daft as your defender who tried to take a free kick for offside from inside our half.

Many thanks TGC they are brilliant. Great to watch the Grandstand buid up for the first time having been at the match. Again, many, many thanks!!!
