    Did You Ever Sit In The Old West Stand?

    Yes, had a season ticket for the last few seasons, front row, just to the right of the tunnel (as you looked at the pitch) and more or less in front of the Directors box. Used to sit next to the 'Lion Man'. Seat was a handy location from which to bait Belotti, almost got thrown out during the...

    Being Liverpool

    Just watched the first episode this evening on Fox Soccer. Rather good I thought, good acccess to the 'backrooms' of the club and some interesting footage of the Melwood training ground. Pretty impressive set up all round. Brendan Rodgers comes across well, good leader and very personable -...

    The REMF - RIP Robert Eaton

    http://letsrollforums.com/robert-eaton-key-figure-t26644.html? Has anyone else picked up on this 'Lets Roll' conspiracy theory debate? Aside from feeling slightly offended on a personal level it's absolutly outrageous to be digging around into the background of victims, in this instance, Robert.

    The REMF - RIP Robert Eaton

    I think she was drawn to us because we had the BBC crew filming and she may have picked up the accents. It was very busy, lots of people milling about in Union Sq. reading the tributes, taking time to reflect etc. I think she pretty much said, 'who is the tribute for' or something similar, once...

Our office space was on the 63rd floor of 1 WTC, the north tower, but, thanfully lower down than the Cantor Fitzgerald floors and, critically, below the impact zone on the north face...

    Impressions of USA

    Got to say there are some riduculous comments on this thread -'All American restaurants have the same menu' - really? I would have thought the variety and diversity of dining is equal or surpasses just about anywhere else I can think of. There are some fantastic big city, michelin starred...

    The dark side of the... erm Amex?

    I appreciate that old fashioned floodlight pylons don't really work in modern stadia but I used to love spotting floodlight pylons from a distance, be it at the Goldstone or on on the road. Plus the pylons made a great navigation aid, especially when lit up for night games at some gloomy...

    This judgement could have serious ramifications for the future of policing not just football, but also other sporting and major events. For example the view of the MPS generally is to insist that the event organiser assume responsibility for paying for directly related police costs, including...

    cooking on gas - BBQs

    Take a look at amazingribs.com Will make you hungry if nothing else and in there somewhere the site does debate the gas v. charcoal issue. Personally I don't think you can go far wrong with a Weber 'one-touch' charcoal grill - seems more in line with the spirit of oudoor grilling. They also do...
