    [Football] Adam Lallana ****Singed****

    Yes, you are quite correct. I think he had to give up football because of it Things have progressed in managing it - but it is a lousy thing to live with. Mine just got out hand and resulted in a polyp on my bowel that would have turned into cancer I had no real option, but to have major...

    [Football] Adam Lallana ****Singed****

    UC = Ulcerative Colitis Read that he has had it sometime. I had it too - although I needed surgery to cure mine - same as Darren Fletcher ex Man U its an absolute nightmare and you can have a flare up literally at any time. If it is a flare and depending on severity then he might be back for...

    [News] Christmas COVID rules fresh from the horses' mouths

    The bubble is 3 families. None of whom can see anyone else. So for instance my wife and I can see both sets of parents and no more. Both sets of parents cannot see anyone else either. My brother cannot see our parents. I guess banning any family meet up would simply end as a free for all...

    [News] Christmas COVID rules fresh from the horses' mouths

    I think it's about a proportionate balance. Being in a bubble of 3 families is exactly that. In my case it would mean my family, my parents and my wifes parents. It means our family cant meet anyone else, my parents cant meet my sisters or brothers family, nor my wifes parents meeting anyone...

    [Music] First gig, Worst Gig and Can't be topped gig?

    Not the worst by any stretch - it was actually very good and memorable. But, I saw Killing Joke in Leeds 1994. I told the Mrs to pick me up (living 15 miles away) at about 11ish. The Joke were stoned out of their minds - they didnt come on stage untill pastt 11pm and finished at 1am. It was...

    [Music] First gig, Worst Gig and Can't be topped gig?

    I think 4 or 5 others of us on the list have also had that gig down as our first. Adam has a lot to answer for. But, yes it was good.

    [Music] First gig, Worst Gig and Can't be topped gig?

    First gig - 1981 Adam & the Ants Worst - ive been taken as an unwilling other half, but I will discount those. I saw the Style Council in Belgium in 1983, when they were just starting out. They were truly shocking. All over the place Best. I will discount Squeeze - cos I simply love them...

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    Notters This exactly fits in with what was told to me. The results of the Novovax trial will be known early next year. if it works then its for the regulator to agree. If that is given, then rolled out to General population. As trialists, we will continue to be monitored to see how long...

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    Notters - this is the one I am on They know how it works. They monitor you for a year to a) check how long immunity might last and b) to double check that there are no side effects that might spring up (very much less likely after 48 hrs) But, well done you.

    [Music] Punk/New Wave BBC4 tonight

    Ahh, the Suite. What a fantastic place. Big Country stands out - literally wringing wet. I also saw the Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers, Killing Joke there. Boomtown Rats were also excellent live at the Suite.

    The Vaccine Thread

    Well done you. I was a little apprehensive, and if you are then dont worry. I had no concerns afterwards. It gave me some light in this very dark tunnel, knowing that things are progressing and how. Best of luck to you - and thank you!!!

    [Football] Duffy

    Not sure what Celtic want - they play in a very inferior Scottish league, who would struggle in the PL. No disgrace then to lose to Milan. The system doesn't suit Duffy, it doesn't seem to suit any of their defenders. First goal Duffy was in no mans land and seemed unsure who to pick up - but...

    The Vaccine Thread

    As I mentioned yesterday, I volunteered to take part in the Novovax (US) COVID vaccine trial being held in Leeds. UK Govt has guaranteed manufacture (in UK) of this vaccine if it works. Yesterday I had my appointment at Leeds University. It was a 2hr appointment held in a sports hall. I think...

Nervous yes, but also it gives me a feeling of hope, that although we are in a dark place at present there is light at the end of this dark tunnel. This thread always cheers me up I'll let you know how I...
