It would be unfair to name the pub. But yes. I used to live in Poets Corner until 2002 so thought it would be nice to frequent old haunts. I don’t have an issue generally and I know I sound like an old fart, but it was literally being treated as a crèche.

Just had a post drinks evening out with two colleagues from work in Poets Cornet in Hove. I get that pubs need to cater for all needs and I have no issue with children in pubs normally , but when did Halloween become an excuse for a night out for groups of 10/12 people with 4/5 year olds in...

The blocking technique always helps. One of you waits to order at the bar and another spreading next to him/her to take up as much room as possible until one of you gets served. When service begins the other can then move away from the bar.

Completely innocently, two seasons ago my season ticket neighbour walked up to the back of the very short queue for a drink at the outside Harvey’s bar opposite the East stand and got two beers in about 5 minutes. As he walked away he realised he had joined the back of that part of the queue...

Was there in February:- 1. Camps Bay area in Cape Town was a really good place to stay for 4/5/6 days with lots to see in the City (3 miles away) or within 10/20 miles or so. 2. If you book a trip to Robben Island, try and do it in the first few days or so and before you leave the UK. Ours was...

The Waterside pub in Fulham before last years Chelsea game were very helpful and even though our table was 3m from the bar, they provided waiter service for drinks at our table……but added on 10% on the bill at the end for doing so without telling us. We would have paid it as a tip but that was...

I had already mentally spent the winnings from my 2-1 bet, but hey ho, I also had a 3-1 bet on too and was mentally spending that just as Wieffer was about to cross the ball for our third goal. :facepalm:

And that Dubai was not a holiday destination in those days!

Bozza, Apologies but I can't find in my records what card I used to pay last year. Hopefully it is re-occurring, but if not, can you let me know your payment details please?

Don’t the club monitor NSC? Can we start at £2 then and see how it goes?

Did it develop into a bit like that scene in Saltburn. That my wife mentioned to me obviously.

I think it is La Liga’s response to The Premier League being the most popular league in the World from a commercial perspective and they feel they need to do something to gain extra exposure and revenue as they are losing out. That’s not to say some soccerball team may want implement it here one...

I very much doubt it. It’s not on the ticketing website and I think it has only been implemented for Sunday games or when there have been specific travel issues such as the West Coast railway line being closed etc.

Well, the short road trip next May is all booked up. Two nights in Reims en route and then four nights in Bernkastle. If only there was a German on this board that could provide recommendations on Mosel valley wine selections…..@Herr Tubthumper ?..

Just for interest, I just had a look on Starlizard’s website. There is a vacancy for a Graduate Football Expert. The application requires you to rank, with comments, every Oxford United football squad player!

Apparently if he starts 50% of this seasons games he’s on an autonomic 1 year contract extension. Hope it keeps going.

More of a Morris Minor.

I’m an ex marathon runner. The memories are good, the knees not so good!

I was facitously talking about my aged body 😂😂😂

The trouble with finely tuned athletes, they are so fit it may just take a slight challenge to knock them “off grid”. A bit like if you drive a Ferrari over an uneven road, the slightest bump could be disastrous. It‘s happened to me before.
