    [Albion] Weather For Bournemouth Game

    Really looking forwards to this game. I've a front row seat and have packed sun lotion, surely it's hot in B'muff. Only good news is I'm on ST coach, 200 yard dash into the ground. Cant remember, do they have TV screens we can watch the game on in the concourse.

    [TV] The Day of the Jackal Sky Atlantic

    Re ad breaks. With Sky Q you can fast forward them by saying into the remote "Fast forward 4 minutes". Of course, some break ads are shorter but works with everything I watch. I think anything with a 'sponsored by (Volvo)' ad before the ads works.

    [News] Gatwick South Terminal Security Incident

    Normally, incidents like this are cleared very quickly. Suspicious bag, get machine in, open it, blow it up, next weeks washing blown up by mistake. This seems to be bigger and longer than a normal 'scare'.

    [News] Doctor surgery wait times

    My local surgery is Meads in Uckfield. A purpose built doctors surgery on the edge of town, meaning transport is needed to get there. Around 20 years ago I could walk in and take a ticket and be seen. Then it went to phone bookings and now you must call at 8:30 sharp for an appointment in two...

    [TV] Netflix - What's good to watch?

    Started watching The Diplomat. Very apt at the moment. US & UK diplomats struggle with their President & Prime Minister over Russia. Should they bomb them?

    [News] Christmas Markets

    Thanks. In Brussels for two nights and, although we are driving, I see trains are easy to Leuven. May take a look. Or plan B may be to drive via Leuven and if it looks good use it as our stop off next year.

    [TV] Captain Sir Tom Moore - *Died 2 Feb 2021*

    The worst part of all this is she didn't break the law. Made £1.1million for her book deal writing about her father, not illegal. Got paid more to attend a Virgin Media event than was raised for charity, not illegal. Immoral yes 100%.

    [News] Christmas Markets

    Wife and I go to Cologne for the markets (there are 6 or 7 in town). This year will be our 5th visit. Why? Because all the traders are not after your money. They all dress up in uniform, smile, try and speak English, explain what they're selling (especially the food) and treat you as friends...

    [Music] Radio Caroline 60th Anniversary

    Ticked off the last of my Bucket List items last Sunday by visiting the Ross Revenge, the second and current Radio Caroline ship. If you're of a certain age and remember the station, well worth the trip. 5 hour round car trip and 1.5 hour on board but so glad I did it. Putting the ship together...

    [News] Farmers

    I'm trying to keep up with this. From what I understand, a farm owned by a couple will bring in an anual profit of £50K to £100K, for which they work hard. But the value of the land will be around £5million, thus when they die and the kids take over, the kids have to pay 20% of the value. Let's...

    [Football] Pogba, worth a punt ?

    Let's agree one thing, he is was a brilliant player. But as mentioned, we would want an older player that the kids can look up to. It's a NO from me.

    [Albion] New proposed fan zone

    Looking at the planning application, the screens will be 3 metres high and 3 metres above the ground. That red wrap around seems to be the actual size of the screens. Going to light up most of Falmer and the Uni I guess.

    [Albion] Demand for away tickets

    I was going to say the same. Fans rarely go to away games. Indeed, in the case of the 'big' clubs, there would be more home fans supporting the away team than visiting fans. Yes, it's a big country, but travel is easy. As mentioned though, seating is awfull and KO times do tend to change. I was...

    [Misc] Humming people

    I'm that man. Well not him on the train, but my wife complains that I hum away when doing chores. I just hate silence. Always seems to be The Great Escape as well, no idea why.
