Whitey Grandad

Yes, I know that. I was referring to a time before VAR. incidents such as these are one of the reasons that I hate it.

I’m more old school. Accept the on field decision, deal with it and move on.

I agree with you except that we all know a General Election is only a matter of weeks away so why now? Forcing a by election now would be selfish.

In short, it’s the difference between William Tell shooting an apple off his son’s head or one placed on the top of a stick. I have often thought about the difference between walking across a 4 inch beam that’s 50 feet off the ground and one that’s only two inches off the floor. It’s all in the mind.

“Not yet confirmed”

Wise by name but not by nature.

Especially as it was apparent that they are missing Declan Rice.

Here’s a hint to aspiring youngsters, Sunglasses don’t make you look cool. They make you look hungover.

We had been together since we were both sixteen so it was nearer 58 years together. I have had a few holidays alone and my son warned me that I should beware of ladies on the hunt for a wealthy widower and I have made a few friends. I have enough things to do to keep me busy but the wounds are still very raw. I’m fairly confident that I will not be taking up ballroom dancing though 😳

Legally the potential buyer makes an offer and the seller decides whether or not to accept it. Back in the old days items were priced at a penny or two under a whole pound because it forced the shop assistant to ring the item up on the till and hence there would be a record of the sale. There’s a whole generation or two out there who won’t know what I’m talking about.

Well done. My wife’s cost us £25/10/6 or something close and she paid for most of that herself since she was working and I was a student. That was in 1968 and last October 55 years later she sadly passed away. I had bought her lots of jewellery over the years and my daughter has it all now including that engagement ring with the tiny diamond and the silver locket that that I had bought her before and which still has our daughter’s teeth marks in it. We have a son, a daughter and seven wonderful grandchildren. My eldest grandson is a Saints fan and we both have season tickets and go to the football together. Some things are truly priceless.

Was she worth it?

My best wishes to you.

It’s a funny ol’ game.

Hmm, not sure. Which cancer?

We used the Caravan Club site at Burford a few times. A lovely site with the town close by. Sadly those days are now over for me.

Chipping Norton? Or more properly, Chadlington. We went there to see the shop once when we were caravanning not too far away. It was closed but still had plenty of visitors.

Thanks, that’s very gracious of you ☺️

A nicely judged team selection and performance. Just what we needed going into the next two games.

Two wins and a loss. Keep that up all season and all should be well. I know, I know. There are 46 games in a season so we might need the odd extra win too.

Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.

There’s been no signs of life so far. If ever I break out into singing I get some very strange looks.

April 1949 was also a heatwave. It means nothing in the longer term.

This is no time to be playing any passengers. He’s had plenty of chances to show what he can do when there was no pressure.
