I haven't kept on top of the Ukraine war news in a while. Are people actually saying there's compelling evidence that Russia is carrying out a state-sponsored terrorist attack...on its own people?
Sorry, more blarney (this is well cathartic?!). I found that the majority of games were positive experiences. Sometimes the weather was crap, sometimes I mistook Hove Park Colt's ground for Hove Town's playing fields. Sometimes I underestimated the 25 p per mile petrol costs my parents forked...
Further to the above, I would also be particularly mindful of pre season tournaments. A whole weekend out in the baking sun refereeing for perhaps 6-8 hours non stop. The host club may provide a free ploughman's, and the £30 per day may be appealing, but it did have a tendency to be a magnet for...
Hey PWK, as a former referee during my teens (started at 14 training in the classroom beneath the stands at Culver Road and finishing when I went to uni 6 years later)...I had some horrendous experiences. I can really relate to the horrible feelings your son must be experiencing.
If you're at...
Violence against officials has happened for years, around the world. In the 80s, a Kuwaiti player thumped a ref after being sent off. He was given a life ban by FIFA. I seem to recall a player assaulted a ref during an Olympic group stage match at Rio or London. Grassroots refs have been left...
Watching Masterchef and hearing the cooking of vegetables "three ways" or "four ways".
No chef, you're not having a ****ing orgy with a soggy courgette.
One of many examples on food programmes that rankle.
Yes I'd recommend Jabra. Got a pair of Jabra Elite Active 7, a couple years ago. They have served me well although now they are starting to wear out a bit. They are a solid go-to for your £150 budget: solid ANC, good fit in the ole' ear canal, decent sound range, intuitive app, sleek and...
Sorry, yes I should have clarified... there's two dogs in the house. One of them can fetch balls better than Solly on an off-day.
I don't know what it is. Maybe it was my landlady's thick cockney accent that gave her an air of authority and sophisticated intelligence.
Hi, sorry for the off-topic question. My landlady cooked a chicken in the air fryer earlier. Afterwards, she added dog food pellets to soak up the juices in the pan. I was pretty revolted but she assured me it's just "normal human food, but in pellet form". I raised an eyebrow and she agreed to...
Is there a helmet camera that anyone can recommend? I'm considering starting a video blog for anyone who cares enough to watch me pedalling around London occasionally.
Review sites say the best two are the Insta360 or the GoPro Hero 11. They cost upwards of 500 quid though (excl. accessories)...
I've had my Albion+ toiletry bag for absolutely ages now. It's been with me on all my trips away...Devon, Newcastle, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Morocco... I'll take a picture one day.
Thanks for reading :)
