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

    • Line speed and the strength of your Wi-Fi signal are two separate things.  The first is determined by the type of connection (fibre/copper etc) to the outside world and the second is the connection between the device (printer/TV/laptop/tablet etc) and the router. If you are connecting a device to the router using cables (as Alec1 is) then this is will give the best possible connection but isn't practical for many without a degree of upheaval and even then not all devices (tablets for example) will allow a wired connection. So you relying on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the device and this will depend on the quality of the router, the type of Wi-Fi connection (the frequency), line of sight etc - many different things.  This is why some people opt for a "mesh" type setup which is supposed to give a solid quality of Wi-Fi signal around the house with little or no blackspots.  It's expensive though and still requires the devices that send and receive the signal (like the plug-ins you have) to be wired to the router.
    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.
