Wow sea stories on a conspiracy tread! Page 5 about the Titanic - but wasn't the Lusitania supposed to be loaded to the gunwhales with munition? Dunno where they found the room for the pasengers though , many of whom were women and children. And the Estonia - the bow doors came apart in heavy...

They've managed to get themselves into a situation where they need to make sure of their strike, so, as you say, they bumble about until they lose the ball or get it taken off 'em. The need to make a first time shot, even if the ball ends up loose in the opposition's six yard box, seems to have...

Me too. Wasn't that the one with high winds and some kind of Chivers fluke goal?

If you go to a pub with BT Sport there is a way of watching games for free if they’re featured on BT Sport Box Office, because BT Sport are showing the games that aren’t selected for ‘national’ broadcast quite separately and free of charge on a different channel. The offer only applies to BT...

I wouldn't go in the sea for years after watching Jaws

I run a pub in High Wycombe and obviously I'm the only Albion fan here. Suprisingly my customers all support Liverpool, Manure or Chelsea despite the fact that they probably have never been to a game at their grounds or (especialy manure) have even been to that miserable city. Happily it's all...

My GP's secretary said that I hadn't received one as they had only had half their allocation so they'd divided their patients alphabetically and with a surname of Watts I was in the second half who didn't get one. I'm beginning to panic a little as, thirty years ago when I was actually living in...

Exactly. Soaking wet playing area, rain pouring down and Pickford looking seriously unconvicing - ad the one time we get te ball near the six yard box we score. Should have been obvious, surely? - simply drop the ball ino the penalty area and generate a scramble. And I thought that Webster had...

I just wonder how they are going to enforce their ban. Will referees have to stop the game to admonish smoking dads (or mums)? Maybe they'll have to have special smoking patrols watching the parents. And what if someone nips off for a crafty fag in their car (sans children, natch)?

If they didn't like it all TVs now come with an on/off button which is pretty easy to use.

There was a time when to pull on an England shirt was considered an honour, when to be selected for your country was special. Part of the downturn is surely the inability to produce a strong, determined captain who is part of the management team. Could you see Billy Wright or Bobby Moore...

It isn't only his goals or appearances. His broadcast interviews over the last couple of seasons have been informative and fun. Obviously GP is going to build his own team, but like everyone else I'm desperately sorry to see him go.

Course it will. Nothing frightens the American middle class more than demonstrations for causes like BLM. (Remember that photo of the armed couple outside their house as the demo passed by?) The BLM activists have, I think, handed him re-election on a plate...

That's a little hurtful. I don't have a phenomenal post count but I do have the other two. (None of that flossing nonsense for me these days!) And I agree with you entirely. Except that in none of the previous posts did anyone mention dentures or arthiritis...

Like a flash! I'd planned/hoped to retire back to Brighton at the end of this year, but the Covid 19 nonsense has put a stop to that. Although I live and work in High Wycombe (I live above the pub I own) and HW is on the edge of the stunning Chilterns there is, for me, nowhere like home. Trouble...

Drinking alcohol before 10.45 in the morning is possibly a mistake if you're going to post nonsense like this. Leave it alone

Yup, me too. The food at the boarding school I attended from '56 was nauseating. At one stage the pupils thretended to strike in protest, but this was defused by an offer of (overcooked) boiled eggs on Sundays. Worst of all was some kind of pink custard which wasn't custard and tasted of cheap...

Really? The dropping of the two weapons convinced the Japanese government that they couldn't hope to defend their islands and so they surrendered, thus avoiding the bloodbath that would have followed if they hadn't done so. A few years back I visited Pearl Harbor and the Arizona memorial. A...

Why waste (anyones) time over this? Looks to me as if your friend is about to join the ranks of the self-employed...

Whilst that's all very sad, medical treatment is not, surely, a guarantee of success?
