No, this is not another midlife crisis thread. I have recently started following a couple on insta who are sailing across the Atlantic in a 40 ft yacht. I mean, WTAF. On the odd occasion, when the weather is nice and the sea calm it looks idilic. More often though, it looks terrifying...

I have just had an email with this as the subject. My "membership is more than just match days" and there is a survey attached where I can provide input into future events. The unveiling of the much promised coat rail is at the top of my list but to help me fully complete this survey I need...

For those into their hard rock, yesterday was a sad day. For those who do not know who he is, listen to Cold Sweat by Thin Lizzy...especially the solo.

Elon Musk’s rocket underwent a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" during flight yesterday. In other words it blew up. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2yyxrz9kvo.amp RIP Elon’s small penis substitute.

Just seen that the legendary underground blues guitarist has died. Hugely influential in the UK and Irish scene blues scene. A sad day. RIP.

Inspired by Bill Hader, I listened to two Zappa albums yesterday, Over-Night Success and Apostrophe(‘). Looking at his discography, he seems to have released a million titles. Can anyone recommend something for today? Other thoughts and comments welcome.

In terms of passports before you accuse me of fishing for compliments. A discussion in another thread got me thinking this. I used to work with someone who held 3 (UK, Greece and US) I know many who hold 2, obvs loads with 1 and @GT49er brings up the rear with 0. Anyone with 4 or more? Any...

Decided to dig out some old UFO albums. I know they had a lot of success, but they didnt really get the full credit they deserved did they? So many classic albums, currently listening to The Wild, The Willing and The Innocent. Arguably one of the finest live albums in Strangers in the Night...

What would you do? There‘s few players I truly detest and he’s one of them. An uncultured chav with a goon of a wife who’s as thick and chavvy as him. But if he signed for the Albion what would you do?

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gpn44pyz9o It’s been the norm in a lot of venues here for ages. Personally I’d extend it to gigs.

Bed linen - how to hotels get their sheets so crisp and nice? Glasses - how come, no matter how much I try, I can never get my glasses looking as nice as a minute or so in the hands of an optician?

I think this is the first time I have actually done one of these myself!

I used to love Tarzan as a very young boy. Essential viewing for me. RIP

Typical insightful, informative, measured, balanced and considered Guardian article. ‘When I see myself on the sideline I sometimes think: are you crazy?’ https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/oct/18/brighton-fabian-hurzeler-premier-league-youngest-manager

As inventions go this is up there with the wheel isnt it? British as well, apparenty. Two meals rolled into one; it's efficient. There's also the recent 'bottomless' variety for us to sneer at. What's not to like? Post your brunch classics here.

It's about time isnt it? I know Labour have had a tough time of it lately but they could get their polularity back on track by going with progressive policies like this. https://www.theguardian.com/food/2024/sep/24/the-power-of-the-pint-is-it-time-to-retire-one-of-the-worlds-biggest-beer-measures

After a day of defending the great and the good of UK politics I have retired to the balcony for a well earned beer. God bless you all

There’s an article in today‘s Observer about this topic and it being seen as a “way out” of youngsters not being able to afford their first house. When the link is released I’ll post it. This type of mortgage originated in the Netherlands a few years ago but is quickly spreading. After much...
