    Things that annoy you

    Remember it's the disease, Daz. It's not her being spiteful. You are a fucking hero to look after them. But there are plenty of organisations who can take up the slack when you need them to. Have a happy Christmas.

    Things that annoy you

    Absolutely agree. Also Andy Williams' "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" just been on the radiogram - IS IT? Really??? I'd rather be on holiday in the summer somewhere exotic with just me and my beautiful wife - THAT is what i call wonderful! Oh, and "Christmas is just for the children" -...

    Segregation

    It would be simple to have one or two single-rail fences at just about waist height either side of a single aisle which is able to be filled with coppers and/or stewards. You see that set-up at many grounds, even in the Prem. Or better still, a single taller fence at the line of segregation...

    Things that annoy you

    This is the problem with cars that have SOME automated functions but not all! My car has daytime running lights at the front (as is required on all recent cars) but also turns front and rear lights on when the light level fades. Many don't have that so they blindly assume the lights are on. It's...

    What was the deal with blocks 4 and 8 (??) being empty? Or were they all in the posh bar all game?

    Match Thread Coventry City - Birmingham City Match Thread - Friday 8th Dec

    I think we should be OK for the win tonight. Rooney will be wanting to save a good number of his squad for tomorrow afternoon's match against Sunderland ... if the official EFL website is to be believed!!

    Dumbest work meetings

    A certain leading university in the area (Warwick, seeing as you asked) have a HUMUNGOUS HR department (they call it the People Group. FFS!). Every Monday at 2pm, they have a "Huddle", where everyone has to stand around in the open plan office while the Director of HR spouts bollocks about what...

    Death List 2023

    Shane MacGowan's death is reported on the Beeb as saying "he had been unwell for some time". Well, yeah, i guess he had! Most of his life, i suspect. But gone too soon. He's more likely to get number one at Christmas than either Alistair Darling (unless Doris Day's "Move over, Darling" is...

    Sounds like you were bloody lucky not to hit the lighting circuit when drilling the holes for the cabinet fixings!!

    A little cut-out in the cabinet will ensure the light switch has the emphasis it deserves, at last!

    You seem to be up very early scouring the obituary columns for the obscure ones! I guess you were a big fan back in the day?

    Death List 2023

    They could only have dreamt of getting anywhere close to 2-2! The consolation goal that knocked Scotland out was their only sniff! Best game i have ever seen from England (other than maybe the 5-1 in Munich). RIP Tel.

    Retirement

    My father-in-law's mantra was that the only reason you go to work is to earn enough pension to have an enjoyable retirement.
