So we are slowly returning to " normal " after the lockdown. How are you finding things ? I'm back window cleaning and customers are pleased that their windows are now nice and sparkly again. I noticed a few though are now working from home, mini offices set up in their homes. I've asked them...

My step daughter hasn't had a TV for 15 years, saying she hates it and its a negative and bad for mental health. I told her I still watch the telly but can go without it for days. Just watch things of interest like sport, documentaries, and wildlife programmes. But she has had depression on and...

A mate of mine said U2 are shit after I chose an album of theirs as a favourite of mine. I agree that they probably are a Marmite band, but I've seen them play live twice and they were great. I dislike Def Leppard but that's my opinion after watching them once, but they are a popular rock band...

On the news today a proposal has been put forward that if games are to be played behind closed doors, all players will have to wear masks during games. No it isn't a Monty Python Sketch but the authorities are serious. Will it happen ? Can't see it myself.

Next Saturday at 5pm ITV Showing the 87 Cup Final. Worth watching and bringing back great memories.

This virus and lockdown will all be over one day, and the sooner the better. But do you think it will have changed our thinking, and will we never really be the same again ? Those of us who like a drink will go to the pub again , and obviously I for one can't wait to go to a football match. But...

As we are a few weeks in with this virus lockdown, just want to know how all on here is coping etc ? I find some days really boring, but others not so bad. I'm having a break from work for a while but can't wait to get out and about again, health willing obviously. Missing the football and the...

On BBC 2 last night was a cracking boxing movie called Jawbone. True story about an ex junior boxing champion who had hit hard times etc, and his struggles to return to sobriety.Ray Winstone was in it so he's always worth watching in gritty films. It's dark and moody with a great finale at the...

This should be a bruising contest today. But going for an England win. Had a fiver bet at 8-1 winning margin 16-20 points. Return : £45.00

My son was boxing last night at Ryton in a charity event. Last fight of the night and even though I say it myself it was a cracker. Ended up as a draw which I'd say was a fair decision. I'd reccomend anyone wishing to get fit and earn cash for charity to give it a go. And it's a great night out...

Pochettino has left Spurs. Bit of a shock ? Who will take over then ?

As it's England's 1,000 International match this week, they've been talking on the radio and online who would be in your best ever England team from over the decades ? Obviously it's down to age as younger fans choices would probably differ from older ones. Anyway here's mine. 4.3.3. formation...

With the passing of Ginger Baker this week, the list of rock artists who are no longer with us grows steadily year by year. This has inspired me to do another Rockblock on Planet Rock radio, of songs featuring artists who have left this mortal coil. My first track I've chosen is : Crossroads by...

Been talking about an ex City player on Twitter today Bobby Parker. He used to live by Cardinal Wiseman fields growing up, and would join in our kick abouts there. He ended up playing for Cov City and captained England's youth team too. But his career tailed off and he ended up at Carlisle and...

They play each other tonight and on the radio earlier they said the police presence before the game will be the biggest for a football match in the UK, larger than even Celtic v Rangers. A presenter said it is the most fierce rivalry in a match he has ever witnessed. Only 2 thousand Saints fans...

Anybody fancy England to lift the trophy ? Got a great chance but for me it has to be the All Blacks. Dark horses ? Maybe host nation Japan, could cause the odd shock like they did in beating South Africa in 2015, but not strong enough to reach the final.

I listen to the Danny Bowes show on Planet Rock. And he likes listeners to send him questions to his programme. I asked him this poser " if he had a fire in his home and he only could save one album, which one would it be ? " He loved the question and chose Bowie's Aladdin Sane. I chose Fire...

Read an article online that a doctor advises his patients to not bother about exercise as the body prefers rest. Take naps instead of walking/running much better for the heart etc. I dont know if it was a joke article as it seemed genuine ? Donald Trump hates any form of exercise he says...

Went to the Coombe Club in Binley to watch the game, but it never came on the screen. Told it never showed anywhere ? It gets worse day by day. Are we fucking jinxed !

When my son was a teenager I was always winding him up, and once I told him that the Queen doesn't fart, when she feels that she's about to break wind, she tells a maid or butler and they do it for her. I said it's politeness and royal protocol. He sat with his mouth open and said " how...
