I had that dilemma on Saturday night as I said I've got half a dozen. But we agreed just the one. I know who Otis would pick but he's not joined in yet !

I was there for his debut too. As kids we used to go up to Norton Hill where many players lived. Stood outside Hudson's house hoping he'd come out, and he did giving us his autograph. He became to all us kids our hero !

In the pub on Saturday night a group of us were discussing great players who have turned out for us over the years. Taking it in turns we had to choose our favourite ever player not necessarily the best. I had a few players in mind but chose George Hudson as mine. A no nonsense centre forward...

My thread Houch has shown that where money is concerned it can and does cause more harm than good often. I love helping people out when I can, but when you get taken for a soft touch you feel like a right mug. My friend who borrowed his so called mate money, and has no intention in paying back...

He was working for a family of travellers I heard, and ripped them off for a couple of grand. It was in Coventry but he was living with them so away from his mother's. So when he heard that they were going to chop him up and they would have, he vanished. I once got him a job to try and sort him...

That is a nightmare situation to say the least. Sounds like you need a fresh start back here in the UK ? You help a so called " friend" out and get shit on big time. When I lived with my ex missus her son was nicking money off her all the time, and his mates too I discovered. As he was my step...

I was working this morning with the strong wind trying hard to shove me off the ladder. The customer said " mind how you go up there as it's blustery. " When I'd finished I reminded her she owed from last time, so that was 2 cleans owing ok ? She went in her house and came out and said " can I...

Agree with that statement. You can hear violin music playing in the background, " I'll pay it back I promise, I'm so grateful blah blah blah. " 6 months later you're still waiting ! 😣

My son was on the verge of getting evicted from his flat just before the corona virus lockdown began. So I paid his rent debt off and the landlord gave him breathing space etc. Thanks dad for saving the day I'll pay you back. I'm still waiting !

You'll be getting begging letters now ! 😏

That is a downer and similar to what happened to me, you feel like a proper mug. In the end I had to threaten violence which was the last resort, funny how a smack in the mouth quickly gets your cash back !

Who ? 🤔

A friend of mine borrowed his mate a couple of hundred quid to help him out. Told he will get it back as he was waiting for money to paid into his account etc. Heard he ripped him off and a few other people too, a really lousy bastard. That happened to me a few years back, took ages to get my...

Day off due to the rain. Writing a football article whilst listening to the best of Rory Gallager which has some of his time with Taste. What a talent he was. 🎸🎸

There's a long held belief in football that you have to be a bit crazy to be a keeper. Outfield players make errors during games and can get away with them, but when a keeper slips up it can often mean a defeat for his team. I've seen goalies make save after save in a match, but then let in a...

Remember going to a Christmas time match and at night going to the General Wolfe to see Dumpy' s Rusty Nuts. Legendary blues/ rock band mad as hatters, but great live act. Now that is a great day out ! 🎸⚽️

Since the lockdown has eased we are able to get out and about more. I've been to the pub a couple of times, been out for some good walks, and met up with friends and family. But I have to admit I'm really missing going to a match, in fact to me it is without doubt the best day out. Meet a few...

I've had to knock off early as it's that hot the windows were smearing up as soon as I had put water on them. I reckon a glass of vodka now and I'd be kipping all afternoon ! 😎

I met their daughter Eva on Saturday who turned up. What a cracker ! She speaks great English.

I did go in first time but all 4 of them were steaming and out of it. I said or tried to say I'll have a beer, but no beer just vodka. Knocked the shorts on the head years ago, just lager or Guinness these days. I hear the Poles are freindly my sister said her new neighbours have just starting...
