  1. Bristol lucky to get away with a win in that last quarter. Leicester have improved so much this year. Beginning to like Ellis Genge! Never thought I’d say that.
  2. The most I’ve seen in one group was 17- I don’t think the rhyme goes that far! Other than that one-off occasion, probably 6 would be my limit.
  3. Tough luck, Tigers, but I think you blew it with your tactics in the second half. Kept on pushing the ball out wide when they should have just kept the ball up their jumper and gone straight down the middle. Still, a fantastic improvement over their performances of last year and early this.
  4. My tipple tonight is Little Valley Brewery ‘Python Ale’, and lovely it is. Haven’t had it for awhile, so a very nice change8
  5. My most uncomfortable ride was behind 5698 from Aberdare to Quakers Yard HL. We thought it had square wheels.
  6. Who would you have as coach btw? I also think Boks are favourites, just hope we don’t have players selected on past reputation.
  7. Hi John, what was the pen please?
  8. Size is everything when you’re trying to identify a bird you don’t know! Insert smiley of choice. I’m wondering along the sandpiper front now, but I’m not very good with these waders and seaside birds.
  9. On second thoughts,I’m doubting my plover view as well.! Could it be a sandpiper of sorts?
  10. I’m with you on this on two fronts: I think it’s some sort of plover, and I also have not got the foggiest as to which one! Interesting bird, don’t think it’s a wheatear though, looks too elongated.
  11. Mr Heron inspecting my ongoing repairs to the summer house. Looks to be a regular now, despite mobbing by the crows. I’m getting fed up of inspecting the pond after every visit. Do you reckon he’d make a good finial for the roof?
  12. I thought it was a good mens’ 6N, only England were poor. Any of the top four could have won, and there were good competitive matches. Can’t say the same for the Autumn cup, looked like training sessions.
  13. Hi Graham, if you haven’t tried it already, go for their Moor Ale - my favourite, quite hefty and chewy.
  14. Goddard Fuddles- Dee-dum was my first pint in a pub after this lockdown, the pub being The Gun at Keyhaven near Lymington. Nice pint, but strong enough to be an evening pint not a lunchtime one.
  15. Their adverts at the time boasted that 42% of the components in the Volvo were British made. Gosh, haven’t times changed!
  16. I’m with you on the cat front: they sit below the feeders, so the birds have stopped going. Luckily, I have another part of the garden away from the cats’ range, I sit there now.
  17. In northern Finland in the 80s, the Norwegians used to come across the border in their Volvo estates, and fill up at the local Alko. Just as well that the Volvos were rear-wheel drive, or they wouldn’t have got back home. Though I still can’t work out how they turned corners when the front wheels weren’t touching the ground!
  18. Depends what he’s looking at, surely? Not all of my body, for example, is good looking. Insert smiley of your choice.
  19. Spotted at reservoirs near Hebden Bridge, Calderdale- so definitely heading north.
  20. Saw Greenfinch in my garden-the first I’ve seen in n+1 years in my garden. When I posted about this on the local bird site (Hebden Bridge), others replied in a similar vein. Have you lot spotted this throughout the country?
  21. Same here on some game estates and moors.
  22. 7 buzzards in view from the garden this morning. Ten years ago and you wouldn’t have seen one all year.
  23. I’ll agree with that. I thought Leicester were overall the better team. Karl Dickson, the ref, starting to worry about him; makes me glad there’s off pitch reffing to help him -he misses too much.
  24. Big RMWeb match to day on tele. Tigers v Falcons, which poster will crow most? Shall watch it.
