I really enjoyed the first episode - I've always been fascinated by the plot as my birthday is 5th November too. The real brutality of the time (specifically in this case, towards the Catholic recusants) should not be underestimated. That said it was a challenge to watch the execution scene. I...
One of my ex-pupils at Thomas A Becket Middle. Was a genuinely lovely lad (at 8 through 11 years old) and thrilled to see him getting these opportunities - I don't follow cricket at all but as a Sussex chap it's a shame he isn't playing for 'us' but I am unaware of why it didn't work out here.
Had delayed booking until now. Checked the date of first round of games yesterday coincidentally (as didn't want to jinx anything by looking sooner), so was pleased to see first games are on the 12th. So although beholden to school holiday times have booked to go from the 1st to the 11th August...

I'd been taken to matches before this time but I have no recollection of them, so my bench mark 'first match' was Oct. 1st 1983 vs Charlton Athletic as we won 7-0. My dad and aunt took me (both of whom still come with me to every home game), we stood in the South West corner that day (where we...
I've been really happy with it (yes the new model). On the face of it, it has a small 1.6 Diesel engine, but I've had no issues with lack of speed etc even with 7 of us (I've not towed anything) heading to the AMEX.
The rear two seats are for smaller children really, which was a main reason for...
