No, not that! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-62407451

Very sad news. I met him a couple of times in the 2006/7 Ashes. I was a member at the WACA and at the end of a day’s play he gave Strauss out with a shocking LBW decision, you know the one where every Aussie appeals like it was nailed on and on that bouncy wicket it was missing the stumps by at...

To be fair, there is no team that cheated the system more than Villa so I think your relative is on shaky ground there! They were staring admin in the face having gambled massively on promotion and got lucky. The net spend from that club over the last few years has been phenomenal and with...

I was there for it - great atmosphere and really well deserved medal!

Brilliant! Come on the Falkland Islands!!

More unnecessary Brummie bashing. Scousers and Geordies fair enough.

Still would like to help someone get to the athletics on Friday 5th - evening session. PM if interested!

Just sent you a PM

Please PM me if you are interested in going to the athletics on the evening of Friday 5th. Cheers.

ELO, The Beat, Dexy’s, Fine Young Cannibals, Moody Blues, Judas Priest- probably some obvious others I’ve forgotten…

It’s actually a very friendly city but i appreciate there are also some idiots living there. I think it’s very tolerant of races and religions, a real melting pot with very little history of racial tension, but I would agree that it has a way to go on other areas of diversity.

I have a lot of family in the area. To be fair I think that says more about your Villa supporting relative than it does about the Black Country!

Jeff Lynne rather than Bojo and now you’re talking!

Heading up to some of it - should be good. Brum is a great city but admittedly has a bad press it seems, I hope some of that negative perception can be changed over the next couple of weeks.

I have said elsewhere about my fondness for the city, and am also really looking forward to it though locally there is also a lot of cynicism I believe. I will be going to several events including a few nights at the athletics. I will probably have spares for Friday night of the athletics (and...

I believe there was a bit of ‘pushback’ but Poundland is a local company and so the greater good was served by having the stadium named after a local company. Never been there, though seen it from the motorway. Went to Fellows Park a couple of times.

I’m surprised The The weren’t on your list? :)

These extra charges for a pdf ticket have just been sneaked in. I bought 2 and parking for Newcastle, and for pdf tickets each was an extra £2.50. So it’s now £17.50 to park if you need a printed ticket (which I did on this occasion). What cost of living crisis? Mind you, Robbie’s car wash...

I remember watching the Eubank v Collins fight in a bar in Dublin. I didn’t feel in the majority in terms of allegiance that evening!

Without having read all the posts, watch out for the jewel scammers. It sounds obvious but they can be really plausible and it’s easy to get talking to someone who, before you know it, is telling you about a special Government offer to get tax free jewels that you can sell for a fortune once...
