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

    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood. 
    • 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.
