>>Everyone predicted the Derby thrashing but only Sean, Me and Mockney got one perfect score each<<


Yes well done (he said through gritted teeth). In "another place" Villa were my favourites to break into the "Top 4" this season so, although obviously a Nation Rejoices at today's Villa Park result, I feel exceptionally smug.....

I think England should progress tonight and have tipped them to win 2-1 but the other game that really intrigues me is the France v Scotland game and although I've tipped the French to win 2-1 I have just got a sneaking suspicion that they are a little bit past it, although they've been written off before during the last World Cup they still managed to get through to the final, albeit losing to Italy. Anyway, I'd really like Scotland to win tonight and also think that the Republic could cause a bit of shock against the Czech Republic, although obviously it will be very tough for them. Best of luck to all the British teams tonight.

Errrm, well it's quite easy if you put a business case forward to take clients ;-) and then you don't even have to pay. The only down side is that I have to be on my best behaviour!


From what I can gather, there are still tickets available up in the Gods though...

I couldn't agree more with the allocation of corporate seats (trust me, Liverpool's allocation for the CL final was terrible and mainly due to the corporate bodies involved). It's disgusting when real fans can't get to a game. In my job I get offered the opportunity to attend many sporting events, but I only accept the offers when I support the team or have a genuine interest.


Unfortunately, many of the Prawn sandwich types only go so they can say that they have been.

hear hear Jah, t*sser; few things more odious than following a team due to success. Where are all those Newcastle shirts now huh?

Luckily not something I can be accused of!!


Yes anna. Liverpool v west ham I couldn't get a ticket even as a club member as we were allocated 24,000 tickets.

1/3 of tickets went to prawns. Not only not real fans, but not even human tsk.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
