    [Football] Are you going to watch the Cup Final?

    Contrast here. The only cup final I’ve ever watched was the 1983 one. Personally, I’d like to see Palace win, I don’t go along with all the Palace hate and my son ( a Brighton fan) works for their Palace for Life Foundation.

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    Yes. I thought that was a good article, but it probably wouldn’t go down too well with a number of posters on here.

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    Well, Never’s post did make me laugh as it as quite witty and I can assure you that I am certainly not a Reform Voter. I do appreciate a witty remark, though.

    [Help] Back Pain

    I have got Spinal Stenosis in the lumbar area of my back. Very debilitating and seriously restricts my mobility. Had the jabs administered by a specialist spinal surgeon under general anaesthetic, but they did nothing for me. A year later I had the op carried out by the same surgeon, where a bit...

    [Help] Knee replacement advice

    This. I still put a pillow or cushion between my knees 20 years on from my bilateral knee replacements. This also stops my knees knocking together with fear if my wife demands her conjugal rights for the third time that night!😆

    [Food] What's in your freezer?

    Lots of very cold stuff or sometimes a bottle of white/rose that we have forgotten to put in the fridge and desperately require a drink of same liquid. Seriously, a properly used freezer can be very useful, but I dare say you know that.😊

    [Travel] Potential Speeding Ban

    No need for full disclosure, Tubs. My light hearted little dig was just that.😊👍 Full disclosure from me, the last time I had an encounter with Plod on the roads was many years ago when I was driving through a village up in Staffordshire and was pulled me over for driving too slowly. I explained...

    [Travel] Potential Speeding Ban

    Phew, that was a thread and a half. I am amazed at the number of perfect or near perfect drivers we have on NSC, (even the ones that don’t drive😉) I hope Mellotron manages to keep his licence and so his job and avoids family strife, but, in future, keeps a better look out for speed limits and...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    Yes, the Tories are an absolute shambles at the moment, but one of the reasons that there may have been no mention of ‘useless Kemi’ in the rag that is the Daily Express, is because she is really an inconsequential sideshow and will probably be gone before long. On the other hand, the...

    [Misc] What is the best age in life?

    30’s and 40’s for me. CBA to say why, but anyway, try and make the most of what you are at present, ‘cos you can’t got go back or forwards. Some good times were also had from 19 to 29. 77 coming up and I can’t say I am particularly enjoying this time in my life.

    [Politics] Are Labour going to turn this country around?

    I think most people will see right through that one.

    [Misc] Do you do a fart walk 🤔

    This is probably why my wife’s granny lived to 102. Every time she got out of her chair and took a couple of steps, she would fart in time with the steps! My dad also lived to 102 and was also prone to farting upon arising from his chair, regardless of taking any steps or not. As a GP, I now...

    [Food] Teams meetings in cafes and coffee shops

    Back in the day, when I was working for a living, and before the proliferation of coffee shops, I often used hotel lounges for meetings and such like. An absolute essential when travelling all over the country.

    [Food] Teams meetings in cafes and coffee shops

    I reckon going into a hipster craft beer shop would have been enough warning about the possibility of bell-ends being in the vicinity.😁😉🍺

    [Misc] Is having kids more hassle than it's worth?

    My wife and I always wanted children and discussed this shortly after we first started going out. We got engaged after going out for only 3 months and were married 4 months later. We had 3 children and had good times as a family during their normal secure childhood upbringing. They are now grown...

    [Politics] Donald Trump, US President

    I have an old friend from school, that I have known for more than 60 years, who settled in the USA back in the early’70’s. He got religion in a big, big way and is what I would call a fanatic. He is also a very staunch Trump supporter and can see no wrong in the man or his ruinous policies...
