    Jim White

    Colin Murray seemed like a fan of football who happened to host a radio show. Used to really enjoy it, you can imagine he is the same if you met him in a pub as he was on the show.

    Rogue One - A Star Wars Story Teaser Trailer

    thumbs up from me - cracking film. What really worked was the fact the film was essentially a stand alone film (even though it sits between others). It wasn't another one where they are trying to sell possible franchise options at you for most of the time. The fact that the <MOD EDIT: Spoiler...

    Dale Stephens - January

    unsure that we are 'desperately after Stephens', we've got Defour, Marney, Hendrick as our CM options, with Arfield who has also played there (we also brought on Tarks as a DM). I think we'll start going back to 442, which will lessen the demand. I expect us to be chasing a winger in the Jan...

    O/T kickabout

    Hi all, Wonder if anyone knows of a park kickabout on Saturdays? Seen a bunch of chaps having a game in the park next to BHASVIC on Saturday and got me thinking. I presume there are others. If you know of one which doesn't mind someone bringing their boots let me know. Cheers

    Gap Year

    Worth considering that there are numerous possibilities and options which exist between these two extremes. I remember once reading an interview with a nurse who worked in palliative care, she listed the top 10 things people spoke about on their deathbeds. The top spot was regrets about their...

    Jordan Rhodes - we are 'interested'

    seem to remember an ex-Blackburn player (Dunn?) comment on how good he was as a striker before implying that his work rate and other aspects to his play wasn't that good. Found it unusual at the time because you don't often have players dishing out anything other than bland back-slapping...

    Nick Collins, Pete Colley, Tim Abraham, Roger Clarke.....

    There was a recent article suggesting that the football 'bubble' might be about to burst due to a combination of factors. Little coincidence that two football fans at work who I sit near have ditched their Sky Sports package as they don't find it value for money.

    Joey Barton returns to Burnley

    I think that's close to home, as I said I can't see him signing for us. Our season is at a bit of a crossroads, so having someone around who was popular with the players can only help.

    Joey Barton returns to Burnley

    I'm unsure why Barton is coming back, might simply be to train rather than to sign. I'm unsure that we need him, though highly unpopular he was very good last season but he was a year younger and it was the Championship. There's a lot going on around him and I sense we got the lucky season out...

    Rome - any advice?

    Good point, eating anywhere near one of the tourist attractions won't be cheap. If you fancy picking something up it's worth doing as far from them as possible.

    Rome - any advice?

    This museum was superb, Villa Guilia, mainly due to the Etruscan temple in the back (or a modern representation of one). If you get a chance this church has a couple of masterpieces by Caravaggio.

    Autumn Statement-Letting Agents Fees

    moved recently and the admin prices for some agencies were very steep. Thinking that we'd save money on references we contacted the agency we were currently with about what they had on the market. Eventually found out we'd still need to pay for references if we moved property (but stayed with...

    generation snowflake

    I've got a couple of mates who teach and at a recent pub catchup the 'snowflake' term came up. In balance they did say that due to social media there's a lot of pressure and general dynamics which we never had growing up and this does mess with a lot of kids. That said they find a lot of their...

    [Politics] Brexit

    I agree - my point on this was in the context of an MP in a constituency which voted overwhelmingly for Brexit, this may not be the MP's own view and could cause some division.

    Thanks for the response - do you not feel that representing the views of the constituency forms part of ?

    [Politics] Brexit

    The role of an MP is to represent the wishes of his constituency, I'm not sure about how that would result in banning the French etc but it has set MPs against the party line (e.g. Goldsmith). It's usually only in unique circumstances that an MP can gauge an attitude to a specific issue, for...

    [Politics] Brexit

    Labour's main dilemma is Farage-shaped, they, not the Tories, have leaked voters to the UKIP cause. A key Labour strategy is to win them back, you won't do this by opposing Brexit. UKIP will be pouring over the voting data from the referendum, if you're an MP with a small majority and whose...

    [Politics] Brexit

    The wider issue would be no parties would look to make policies which favoured those unable to vote. Currently we already have that situation in some regard. Rather than the education of an individual the real participants in affecting voter mood and decisions are certain media outlets who...

    [Politics] Brexit

    When I went to the various debates over the referendum. I never once heard the leavers say we would be getting 350 million pounds per week. back in our pockets. It's a good point, something I find odd is the vitriol heaped by both sides prior and after the vote. Generally speaking the Brexit...
