    It's your favourite foreign movie...

    Too many to choose from, but these are the ones I've watched more than once and would happily watch again: - Three Colours Trilogy (Polish)* - Diner de cons (French) - this is the vastly superior original of the US remake 'Dinner for Schmucks' - Das Leben der Anderen (German) - Au bout de...

    The signings thread

    Now that it's settled, I reckon we'll start the transfer comings and goings soon... Robins has never been slow off the blocks. Shall we keep all the rumours and confirmations on one thread? Maybe make it sticky, Nick? Who is first through the door? My money is on O'Hare.

    Missed Opportunities

    What missed opportunities from your life have you remembered and wished you'd done? For me, there's something daft that took place in the loo in an office in London. I reckon if it hadn't been in the loo I'd have done it... but it seemed a bit odd in that place. I went to the toilet and the...

    Bad hair weeks

    I was due a haircut before the lockdown but foolishly delayed. I usually wear it short but not a crew cut. My hair is thick and grows quickly and is now starting to look more like I wore it as an edgy youngster. This is an issue that must be affecting men up and down the country. Anyone else...

    Taking one game at a time

    The players and the manager have been keen to stress how they are taking one game at a time whenever they get the chance to speak to the public. And there is little doubt that this strategy has worked well so far this season. However, I recall previous seasons when the team has also taken one...

    Fans wanking during the game

    Why, oh why, oh why are there so many fans wanking, rather than watching the football during the game? For those of you who are wanking at home rather than getting yourselves over to Birmingham - stop giving yourselves hand pleasure and get over and support the boys! And to those who sit in...

    Amazon Prime scam

    Just had a call saying they are about to renew Amazon Prime and charge me - and press 1 to cancel. Then put through to someone. They then ask for bank details and hung up on me when I wouldn't give them. Now found it's a new scam. Beware - it's a recorded robot message and everything - quite...

    Walking football

    I stopped playing regular 5-a-side about 5 years ago (and 11 a side 15 years ago) as I no longer had the pace to compete. I've decided to try walking football and am off the morning to try it out. Does anyone else do this? Thoughts? Fully expecting the limited control and skills I ever had...

    Specials new album

    Anyone heard it? The single has been on radio 6 a few times and I briefly listened to a few tracks - but I have to say I found it poor.

    Jordan Peterson and Cathy Newman

    This interview is very much worth watching. I'll explain why I think so. I feel it's important to be an independent thinker, i.e. not to follow themes from one side or another, accepting them without thought. I am also passionate about identifying the underlying cause of issues rather than...

    Aliens have surveyed Earth - now proven beyond reasonable doubt

    There was an article in the Telegraph a week or so ago reporting on comments from a former head of a US government programme. Google shows me that it was also reported in other broadsheets. Existence of extra-terrestrial craft 'proved beyond reasonable doubt', says former Pentagon X-Files...

    Maduro has now banned opposition parties from standing in the 2018 election. Two selected quotes from this article: "Venezuela has been mired in a worsening economic crisis characterised by shortages of basic goods and soaring inflation." "Supporters of Mr Maduro say his party has lifted many...

    Strachan left Scotland job

    My mutual consent. Has he ever had success as a manager? Such a fantastic player, but doesn't seem to have the ability as a manager.

    He's won the Nobel Prize for literature. Very well deserved in my opinion. Thoughts?
