    Wimbledon 2017

    Probably my favourite 2 weeks of the year. I don't think Murray will do it again, he's out of form and his body is creaking a little. Both Rafa and the Fed have been looking supreme lately, if I had to tip one for the title, it would probably be the chap from Mallorca. On the womens side it's...

    Music at your funeral ?

    Your Premier League Club

    I've followed Liverpool for over 30 years, but not to the same level as the Albion - I've never been to Anfield. Sorry - just true.

    Equal rights for old English people! (Non Londoners)

    I have a para-thyroid problem, linked to kidney failure. Was due to have them out last week but op was cancelled - I was already in a bed in the ward when I was sent home. Beds is normally the problem but this time they had no anaesthetists for the op

    Equal rights for old English people! (Non Londoners)

    I appreciate it's not the same as free prescriptions, but would a pre-pay prescription card be worth it for you ? I pay £104 per year and get unlimited prescriptions with it. I currently have about 6 meds to take - kidney failure - and I save a bundle having the card.

    Equal rights for old English people! (Non Londoners)

    And the country would be even more bankrupt than it is now. Plus, I suspect we'd all have to wear leather elbow patches like a 70s geography teacher.

    Mashed Potato,how do you like it and what with ?

    Sausages and onion gravy - homemade, of course. The mash needs to be made smooth with lots of butter and cream. With real failure I'm not supposed to eat potato at all, so my consultant would tell me off. I'm not sure a cardiac doctor would be too happy either !

    Tony Bloom and the Club's Premiership millions

    Absolute standard procedure, I would have thought. A bit like a pay-day loan, but grown-up, and lower interest.

    Anyone else quite enjoying the break from football?

    Absolutely, not missing it at all. Football, to me, rather means "winter", and I'm in no hurry for that. Loving the tennis and cricket at the mo.

    Garcia Report leak

    a) I doubt anyone is in the least surprised if there was any corruption in either bid b) I think there is zero chance of these two World Cups being move, unfortunately. FIFA carrying on as normal

    Blokes : Peeing sitting down

    You're lucky you can pee ! I have no kidneys so not had a slash for 3 years. Shame, I used to quite enjoy it.

    Amex Cladding

    But did we get what we paid for ? It sounds like the materials supplied in Camden were not the ones specified in the contract - just going by what they are saying on the news.

    Stewart Downing on a free

    Could be good on his day, unfortunately, his day only occurred once a season, at best. Some of his crosses were superb, but too few and far between. Not what we need. "on a free" s very deceptive if you don't figure in the high wage demand

    Laura Kuenssberg - Political Editor of the BBC

    For me, not as annoying as Skys' Beth Rigby - I'm sure she's a very capable political presenter but she ruins the English language by not pronouncing any "g"s on any word ending "ing". So bloomin' annoying.

    Boris Becker.

    Bit of surprise when I read this story. I once played tennis against him, back in the day,

    O/T Think your credit card expires at the end of the expiry date month? Think again!

    OK, I can see the value of that for ongoing expenses. So, maybe it's true for, say, Amazon Prime, but not for ad-hoc purchases, I don't know.

    What's your favourite 'Scorchio' weather alcoholic drink?

    Ice-cold cider at the right time can be really refreshing. I am really suffering in this heat - having no kidneys I'm very limited to how much I can drink to cool down

    O/T Think your credit card expires at the end of the expiry date month? Think again!

    I can believe that's what you were told, but if this was the case I would never have to enter my new card number into Amazon, which I do. It just doesn't sound right.

    O/T Think your credit card expires at the end of the expiry date month? Think again!

    Sounds more likely - I have never had any company or website that knew my new card number, I can't believe they would sent that info out. I can believe that things stop working when you approach the expiry date.

    Favourite Bands who are deemed 'not cool'

    Dire Straits were cool at one point, but I suspect no longer. MKs guitar work, for me, is fab, and I still listen to it.
