Been to NYC and stayed in the Hampton Inn, W 39th. Small with lots of levels but just 2 lifts, spent ages waiting every morning. But the subway is great and easy to use. We used a tourist bus just to get around easier. Best bet is find a hotel near a subway stop and also near a tourist bus stop...

All these stories remind me of something that happened a few years ago with my business. My competitor hasn't a clue how to run his shop and just copies everything I do and all the lines that I sell. About 10 years ago I purchased what I thought was going to be a huge line, a bug eyed toy. Sadly...

You should be in retail. I get people asking every week if I'd like to donate such and such to some charity, generaly a minimum of £50 in goods. I have a standing order for a local charity raffle (never won a thing*) and tell everyone that asks that I already donate. *probably because no...

Police are proudly boasting how they managed to get to a house alarm within 1 minute and arrested four youths at the scene. Bet everyone else wishes the police even turned up when they got burgled. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgrrlep3l0ro

Great start. Mr Beer must by smiling inside. Jenkins starts by saying there was nothing wrong with Horrizon.

Heads up and here we go, the big one. From 9:45 Tuesday 25th June for four whole days Gareth Jenkins - former Distinguished Engineer at Fujitsu Services Ltd He's the 'expert witness' used by the Post Office on behalf of Fujitsu who claimed that there was nothing wrong with Horizon and helped put...

Italy game for me tonight. I'll give it until it's 2:0 to Italy.

I've gone with Mullery, but through the fact he took us to the promised land from a starting position of the third tier, no other manager has done that. In the modern era Gus may have been better than Mullers but only one promotion and (with one exception) every manager since then was better.

I too have gone for Sir Alf, simply because he done something no one else has, won some silverware. But if you asked Greatest Albion Manager would it be between Mullery & Houghton, both took us to the promised land and in a way silverware, or RDZ who took us into Europe but won nothing...

Portugal's third. Given in seconds. In the EPL they would check CR7 for offside, then if a defender touched the ball and then goalscorer for offside. 5 minutes minimum.

Not sure if this is still true, but explains why an item can cost less sent from China than posted in the UK. "....a little known international postal treaty that requires the Royal Mail to deliver packages that arrive from China at a fraction of the cost that it normally charges. Under the...

Graham Ward, day 154. Mr Beer rips him apart. Mr Ward has to return following discovery of a document that proves he deleted evidence showing Postmasters were inocent. First time I've seen actual evidence of this. This will make your blood boil. Fast forward to 30 mins as the first 30 mins just...

The longest 'non stop' drive is Cotswolds to Liverpool. Other drives are always 'via' somewhere and a one hour stop.

The second round of matches start here. Sadly, for some, the tournament may end here as well. Two defeats must mean book the plane and cancel the hotel.

Funny story about Hebden Bridge. Wife and I go 'ooop north' a lot on business and stay somewhere different on the West side of Yorkshire each trip. Hebden Bridge came up on the dart board so off we went. Arriving in the settlement it was unbelievably busy with coaches parked everywhere. No idea...

Did look up Gloucester Cathedral as I've been there. The Cathedral itself is beautiful, but just off our route. Yes, Juggs is in Kingston, but not everyone knows where that is.

Just thought I'd revisit this as my planning is nearly finished. They've made their own plans for London and should be over the jet lag when we meet. Day 1 in Brighton followed by evening in The Juggs (Lewes). Staying in Lewes. Day 2 From Lewes to Bourton on the Water for overnight. Driving via...

Is it time we became the 'Big Club' or are we not a crowd pulling team. Surely an away game at any Div 1 or 2 team would boost their books by a few £1000's. My vote for the home match is Leverkusen. What a love in that would be.

24th August. My Mum is having her 90th Birthday Party at 2 till 5. I daren't miss it. Please Sky, move our game.

Two exciting games so far. France up next.
