A couple of posters mentioned a shortage of cars available to hire (it's the same on the mainland too), but www.doyouspain.com is usually a good go to site for the keenest prices. We have a 4x4 booked for Fuerteventura in a fortnights time as our birding trips take us off road and it was half...

Wonderful musician, and part of the best rock band ever. RIP Charlie

Works with the Revolut card.

An excellent series to read are the 'Malmo Murders' series by Torquil Macleod. Quite different from the normal police crime novels. Do read them in order.

Shock and horror at the thought of the 'team up the road' kits being ranked better than ours. Mind you many Premier league teams are for this season as shown in today's Daily Telegraph. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/0/premier-league-new-kits-2021-22-every-shirt-ranked/

Yes, better to use Toilet Duck gell patches in the actual bowl. Far less chance of causing serious damage!

For the reasons stated. I'll spell it out. To prove you are legally in the country, and should you be rendered unconscious in an accident, a stroke maybe emergency services immediately know who you are and your current medical state. Clear enough?

They are totally different these days to the original ones back in the 1980's. I remember reffing at Kenilworth Road and the most common injury was sand burn/rash caused by the sand spread over the 'grass' pile.

Absolutely this. Also have to carry ID at all times in Spain. Notarised copy of passport is acceptable but since BREXIT the TIE card has been introduced. This includes personal details, mug shot, fingerprints, current address and NIE (tax number). It's not just to prove your staus it also...

A Firestick needs to be matched to the sound system of the equipment you use. It's done via the remote, going to settings, adding equipment and follow on screen prompts. As a Roku is a similar system I'm guessing the same applies. Don't shoot me if I'm wrong.

That solved a problem with Firestick for me, also have you matched the soundbar/suround system to the Roku/Firestick?

Made ourselves new friends up in Scotland judging by this; https://www.rangersnews.uk/news/brighton-rave-about-rangers-fans-send-classy-message-to-gers-after-ibrox-clash/

You have your EU vaccination certificate complete with QR code? Then all should be well - in theory:wink:

Working well on HesGoal (via a VPN in Spain otherwise it's blocked)

Three of my birding pals here in Spain are 'scummers' (love winding them up over BW!), one is Wetsham, one Chelski and two others are Leeds. Quite enjoyed last year, certainly led to some banter.

I was 6 when my dad took me to 'The Goldstone', the year was 1952 and Newport County the opposition. The North Stand (it derserves capitols), down in the front by the white picket fence just to the side of the goal. How I loved it, but of course how much 'live' football had I actually seen...

A good app for your phone is Heavens-Above. Not just the night sky (wherever you live) but the complete list of all satellites. The Starlink Train (Elon Musk) is fantastic to view if you're lucky enough.

A tad sluggish this morning in sunny Spain, even with a fast internet speed.

Two aspects to your enquiry - firstly 'guiri', it's the rather derogatory name given to us foreigners living in Spain. However we are not so thin skinned to take offence and turn the phrase to our advantage. Many football teams have there own 'guiri army' - supporters of the team who are not...

Experiencing a heatwave here the past couple of days. Peaked at 39c yesterday and staying around 37c, but warnings out today for severe temperatures of 45 - 50c from next Thursday until the following Tuesday.
