Radar Love- Golden Earring

I've moved quite a few times lived in 13 different houses/flats and as a yoof dossed around in 3 more different locations in 4 different countries. We used to like moving at one point, but there are a couple of cardboard boxes in the loft that were packed in the 1980's that are still unpacked after 4 house moves, but I am not allowed to bin the contents that include the bosses wedding dress, thing off the top of our wedding cake and other assorted "must keep" items lol.

Storms here a bit wet wild and windy but doesn't sound too bad, tomorrow will see what damage is done, hopefully none, I won the euro lottery yesterday, 3 numbers and a lucky star and won..........................................a flippin' £5 for four numbers, time to rethink my strategy as it could be me, but only for peanuts it would see lol.

Don't bring me down- The Pretty Things

In the early 1980's I was required for an emergency breakdown on a rig in the Brent Oil field, as it was a Sunday, the quickest way to get me to Aberdeen airport and a Chinook flight out, was to first told to drive to Heathrow, get on a plane to Glasgow and then get on a mail plane to Dyce. There was a storm blowing when I got to Glasgow and once on the mail plane it was a very bumpy ride to Aberdeen, I would have done up my seat belt, but the seat didn't have one fitted, so the pilot told me to sit on the parcels as I'd have less distance to fall. The pilot could talk to me as the door into the cockpit was wedged open with mail, I watched over his shoulder as we came into land, with our nose into the wind we hit the tarmac(quite gently which was surprising) at about 45 degrees to the lights either side of the runway, quite an experience that was.

I do exactly the same thing on other forums and it works fine, not a huge problem, but most odd.

Sport is cyclical to a certain extent, no-one keeps winning(apart from the Harlem Globetrotters) which is why we like sport, sure the Australians will find a decent coach in the future.

I was 120kg, but went down to 105, but I've snuck back up to 110kg again due to being unable to go walking far after my last hospital trip, the weight is coming down bit by..............I am 6 foot 4 by the way, so still taller than I am wide.

I did that Phil, still doesnae work................

Another thing is that players want to showcase themselves in front of a bigger audience, not that long ago there were no African soccer players playing outside of Africa, now the Premier league has loads of them, I think that is not a bad thing. In rugby it's the same, there were no Argentinian players around in europe not so long ago, now the individual players have gained, the european clubs gained and the players home country gained having players with professional training behind them. Money is now the be all and all of it, players play for it, clubs will do anything for it as do the relevant RFU's. The game that I played alongside the likes of Dean Richards and Les Cusworth no longer exists, it may be played on the same sort of pitch with the same shaped ball and posts, but everything else is different.

You don't have a club to follow do you, otherwise you would be aware of what is going on, I can see the ladies game drawing bigger crowds than some men's before long. Rugby is fine at club level if the RFU would do it's job, they let anyone from a spiv to a down right crook run teams whilst hiding behind a statement that they done a "fit and proper" test first. The whole malaise in English rugby sits firmly with Carlings old farts and with them in situ the game will continue to fail. Happily everyone from Championship down is thoroughly enjoying their rugby and most have little interest in the National team these days.

Looks like a lot of effort going in from the Premiership clubs to give the ladies game a fair go, be interesting to see how it goes, I've only watched the internationals and have to say there's some decent talent on show.

Nice to see the old biker code still in action, well done sir

Had a wander round the fields and found the knee a bit sore, I had keyhole surgery on it some 12 years ago and they said there's little Cartlidge left then, seems there's now a new procedure where they replace the Cartlidge rather than the whole knee if suitable, I might try and see if that is available up here yet.
