    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Russia's land border is just over 20,000 kilometres long. Of that, less than one- sixteenth (1,215 kilometres), is currently shared with NATO members. That border will of course change significantly now that Finland have gotten twitchy about the aggressive colonialism of their neigbour and have...

    [Misc] Have you put the heating on yet? (2022/23 edition)

    Ours is set to the thermostat too, and has briefly started coming on this week. First time I've had a chance to look at balancing the radiators since we had a couple of new ones fitted and flow fixed so all rads in the house come on. Our study is in a small single storey extension and is the...

    Fabulous! I love the Barns Green Half. Fingers crossed for you, though I'm glad to know I'm not alone in needing a gee-up. I missed Junior Orange scoring a hatrick last weekend, and today's game got cancelled as the opponents couldn't raise a team.

    I've given myself a goal. I have signed up for next year's Surrey Half, and as it is the tenth one, and I have run all of them, I've ordered the t-shirt too.

    I still haven't regained my running mojo. I'm running regularly, just not feeling it :(

    [News] British Summer Time

    Should go back to GMT all year round if you ask me. It is really difficult to get children to go to bed when it is light outside.

    [Albion] Roberto De Zerbi - JOINS AS NEW HEAD COACH (4 year contract)

    Neither, it was giant flies that terrified Sarah Jane, and then she was possessed by a giant spider.

    Looks like they are close to cutting off Izyum.

    [Albion] Potters Chelsea contract.

    I would laugh if Potter persuades Chelsea to poach Dan Ashworth though!

    [Albion] A thought for the players

    I wouldn't be too concerned about the player's heads going down to be honest, change of coaches is part and parcel of football. The senior pros should keep the younger ones straight as they'll have seen it all before - and even the younger ones will have been coached by a number of different...

    [Albion] I think we do need to talk about Bruno

    I think I'm more upset about Bruno going than Potter.

    [Misc] Thunderstorms kicking off.....................

    The last DELUGE overwhelmed the drainage of roof over my kitchen - it started to rain inside! Lucky I was there to distribute buckets, and I've just been up to the roof to ensure the gutters are clear before the next round...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City *** Official Match Thread ***

    I'd imagine Rodgers will be encouraging the punt down the middle second half... and Potter will be planning to nullify it.

    [News] Bristol Zoo closes tomorrow after 186 years

    I can't recall the last time a circus passed through my town that featured an animal act at all. And as for revenue streams, Chessington World of Adventures worked that one out decades ago by introducing rides. This has enabled them to keep the zoo going and led to some very good enclosures...

    [Albion] Neal Maupay...SIGNED FOR EVERTON.

    All the best Neal. Top shit-housery, superb goals mixed with plenty of missed sitters. Definitely a memorable player for the right reasons. It does seem odd to think that we're selling players to Everton and are a bit... ambivalent... about it though!

    Trump

    It is definitely a stretch to link a laptop of uncertain origin possibly containing genuine copies of emails about Ukrainian and Chinese business deals, to a warranted search of a premises for missing Presidential records. I'm sure it is a fascinating story though. Maybe some of those missing...

    Trump

    Usually people who want to deflect from stories about a certain former President. I doubt there will be anything interesting in the redacted affidavit used to obtain the Mar a Lago search warrant btw. Expect more hot air all round.
