Do you have any "must dos" before you kick the bucket? One of mine would be:


to attend a match at Old Trafford and watch my beloved Red Devils...as, although I've seen them dozens of times, this has only ever been when they've been playing "away" - in London. Moreover, I rather relish attending with someone who supports a different team (hubby is a good candidate as he's an avid Gooner supporter!) and sitting amongst the fans for that team dressed in full Man. U colours complete with red and white bobble hat...just for the sheer hell of it!


Pure joy...

West Ham lift the FA Cup? Well...I admire your tenacity...but you do need to be a little more realistic...perhaps you believe in magic?...

OK.... here in "deluded" land (otherwise known as the premier league )it's de rigueur when "feverishly" supporting a team to actually have well, you know "been to a home game" once or a couple of dozen times


Otherwise it's all a bit "stickers and scarves" supporting from an arm chair/ pub screen/ nearest ground


They are a great team Man U & I watch a game when I can, but there is no substitute for the noise at a real home game



Go on girl....



" On yer train muckers "



Get amongst those "mancs" proper



W**F

To see MrPR do once more what he loves doing more than anything else: gliding and teaching people to glide. He is thus a qualified gliding instructor and thus needs to have a good regular income to be able to afford to go do this amazing thing. But his job situation was such he had to stop his hobby for financial reasons. If he gets another job (photography based would be best which he has done professionally for years) and can afford to glide and teach gliding again, I will be happy happy happy.

And getting badly beaten up and ejected from the ground.


There is a great tension about sitting in the wrong section which does need to be experienced. Turning the joy of an away goal into a rant at the keeper is a skill and no mistake.


It's not that hard to get a ticket to the swamp by the way, just have a look at the seatexchange thing for Fulham for instance via manure.com.

Oh ruffers...*looks sad*


I've been to lots of matches and never encountered any trouble...


Granted, I've never sat in the "wrong" section...


Is it really that bad? Am I being a tad naive?


*looks pleadingly at ruffers*


...please say "no"


*nicks yet more of ????'s tissues*

Of course, the comment didn't apply to you ruffers...


but, seriously, judging by the the hooligans' comments...it is that bad?...and you really don't recommend I sit in the wrong section? It's a good 15 years since I attended a match...

Find someone that I can't live without and spend the rest of my life wondering what took them so long to show up

Be able to converse competently (not schoolgirl) in at least one other European language

For the sake of my sanity and my soul, try to forget the person that I cannot forgive

Learn to play poker properly

Take a long walk in the desert

Go on at least one of the world's great train journeys

Learn the tango and go to Buenos Aries

Learn how to ride a bike

Visit Kyoto at blossom time and get dressed up as a Geisha

Go to the opera in Verona

Kiss with wild abandon outside the Hotel de Ville in Paris


I have barely scratched the surface

    • Really don’t  know why people don’t sell their property by them selves…or at least start that way… not difficult if a freehold house, might be  more complicated if leasehold flat but with a good solicitor doing his work, should be fine. With many people using internet, plenty of people put  looking and numerous  other ways to reach target audience. Was a relocation agent for  years both in sales and letting through London and home  counties.. ie acquiring properties for individuals. Same goes for rental/ letting agents.. tenancy agreements are standard, totally agree that various laws governing terms  are updated but nowadays the majority of estate agents in letting and I assume sales  belong to a recognised body so really one can let oneself. Tenancies are free on line or can be purchased for a nominal sum. What do they do for their commission in both instances? Introduce tenant or buyer, in theory check out references and produce a tenancy agreement, agree amendments, sign by both parties, collect deposit and rent. Organise inventory check in and that is it. And then if you decide to pay them for management of property an additional fee in the hope that they will use approve contractors for all repairs in a suitable time frame for tenant. Was a post earlier or towards last year not sure on here or Facebook covering this point and lack of management from agent for months. I hasten to add that not all sales or rental agents behave in this manner but certainly some in good old ED. was definitely a posting about a well known agent in the village who was “slow” concerning the above. From memory, change if staff and just got buried…in my book totally unacceptable excuse. That is why they have managers in each estate agent to overseas and stay abreast of sales and lettings. Can’t pass the buck…and most companies irrespective of type of industry have a leaving policy and hand over policy produced normally by HR..Same could be said for consultants in  new build sales but normally they are  responsible and accountable from start to finish ie monitoring sale  the whole way, have to produce weekly reports to head office  plus  follow up on all enquiries. Been their as well over my career.
