    :thumbsup: I’ve got one where if you type 71077345 it spells Shell Oil. 58008 gives you Boobs.

    [Albion] Man City (h) ticket ballot

    If I’ve managed to get to the screen that shows all availability (as opposed to just some) there’s currently 315 left. I add the qualifier because the number is a lot lower than Bozza’s from last night. If I’ve got that wrong - apologies

    [Football] Half Fans Colombia.

    It's a decent idea. Ordinarily, I'd say it's a gimmick that wouldn't work. However, the evidence is that it has worked (very well indeed) in Colombia; I can't see any particular reasons why Colombian fans are intrinsically different to British ones. What's to lose? Give it a go and see...

    [Politics] May 2021 local elections and Hartlepool by-election

    We moved into our new gaff last August. We’ve been visited by two candidates. The Tory: ‘I assume you’ll be voting for me’ ‘Why do you make that assumption?’ ‘You live in the type of house that suggests you would’ (yep, honestly) ‘ok mate’ The Lib Dem ‘Hi. Welcome to the area. I’ve been...

    Big Green Egg all the way. Very versatile, ranging from 400C to 90c - the latter for 15 hours without refuelling. Also got a big, round, wood-fired teppanyaki plate/fire pit: Ofyr. Bloody excellent,

    Osborne Bros, Leigh on Sea. I seldom travel to Essex. Most of my experiences involve the bottom end of the M11 and Stansted airport. Today, however, we braved the Wild East. It all started with the GLDHI stealing my office chair. Many years ago I treated myself to a second hand Herman...

    [Drinking] Natural wines

    The Drappier you mention is zero dosage (no added sugar) - that accounts for its dryness. I recall racing citrus and good minerality, but would have to check my notes for more detail. I’d describe my palate as ‘very good for an amateur/semi pro’. In golfing terms, perhaps a handicap of 6-ish...

    [Drinking] Natural wines

    It’s based on a specific, hugely influential (and divisive) wine critic: Robert Parker. In reality, it’s a 20-25 point range, since anything under 75-80 is (to a wine snob like me - and him - undrinkable). Other critics use a 20 point system for this reason (though I haven’t seen a score of...

    McTavish Machiavelli Herr Tubthumper Don’t you just hate it when proven (on a sample size of one, I hasten to add) mistaken? I received a free bottle of Giraud Esprit Nature champagne (as recommended by McT) in the post and have just drunk it. I have not looked it up. Tasting notes: Bright...
