    The Incredible Shrinking Roses/Quality Street tins

    About 6 years ago we went to Bookers wholesalers for some bits for our shop. It was just after Christmas and they had pallets of mince pies selling for 5p a box. Not one to miss a bargain I purchased about 30 boxes and shoved them in the freezer. Following years out they came as required and...

    [TV] Help understanding streaming / digital TV and old programmes please

    Is there a picture setting to view in original size? ie widescreen or 4x3. My thoughts regarding the laptop is that it will still be the same. Your showing a film of 625 lines on a TV of 1080 lines hence each original pixel is taking up 4 pixels on the screen, thus looking blocky. Pre 70's was...

    [Albion] Three Albion players in top 20 most valuable under-21s in world football

    Not needing to sell is different to player walks out because team B have offered him £millions in wages. These players are only kids and being offered that sort of money turns their heads.

    [Albion] Three Albion players in top 20 most valuable under-21s in world football

    Well there wont be. They wait until a player is 21+ and buy him for £100million or more. Have to say my worry is that if a kid sees he is worth that sort of money his agent might start putting his name around for a quick profit.

    Oh my love of my life, the twinkle in my eye, my forever love. I've booked a trip to Ibiza for our honeymoon. No, no reason I want to go there, it's for you my darling.

    [Football] You see them given...

    How did I miss that BHA incident? It's a penalty all day day I'm afraid. But there was a similar incident last season in a European game with Arsenal where the ref said it would spoil the game giving a penalty.

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    What happened? I had Tuesday/Wednesday planned out. Starting at 10 pm with the evening news I'd stay in touch until around 1 am to see how it was going. It'll take days they kept saying. Wake up at 6:30 am to hear Trump making his victory speech. How on earth did they get it so wrong.

    [Albion] Leicester City (A) - Sun 8th Dec 14:00

    Thanks for the advice. Hotel car park holds 80 cars but has 110 rooms. They let you in first before checking your plate at the front desk. Rooms still available, with a cancelable time of 4 pm on the day. I suppose I could book a room and.......... no maybe not. yourparkingspace guarantees a...

    [Football] La Liga game in Miami

    Having visited the building site that is Camp Nou only 3 weeks ago I can't see it being open very soon. So I can understand why Barca want to take a game to the US to make money. I'm still against it though.

    [Albion] Your football ancestry

    I had little interest in football pre teenage years, indeed at only 10 the World Cup '66 passed me by. My very first interest was the '67 FA Cup for some reason and I started to follow Tottenham, purely because they won! First ever match (I've just looked this up) was at WHL, 16th Jan 1971...

    [Sussex] Who’s Going to Lewes Bonfire Celebrations Tomorrow?

    I think you got the wrong idea of my post "In terms of the risk of a potential terrorist attack, Ch Supt Hodges said: “Of course we recognise the fact this is a crowded event, and it would be remiss of us not to prepare." meant to put people off going? I've never seen potential terrorist attack...

    [Sussex] Who’s Going to Lewes Bonfire Celebrations Tomorrow?

    Is the quote "In terms of the risk of a potential terrorist attack, Ch Supt Hodges said: “Of course we recognise the fact this is a crowded event, and it would be remiss of us not to prepare." meant to put people off going? I've never seen potential terrorist attack mentioned for a small event...
