I won't be heading to the CPT I'm afraid... Will most likely watch it in a Sydenham bozer, but need a quietish night, as tday was a bit of a struggle. Shame, as I do feel like watching it down there, but can't be doing with the bus there and back again after.


Anyway, come on the pool!

(6) Not impressed at all (6). I get the impression that as we had an "okay" start to the season we've become a little blase and hopefully this will give us the kick up the arse we need. Bring on Spurs on Sunday.


Would have been nice to meet you Keef and Jah (and your neice), however I'm a terrible loser so it's probably a good job I stayed in. Hope you had a nice evening otherwise :))

Would have been nice to meet you too Anna. It was a pleasant evening only spoiled by a terrible Liverpool performance.

I couldn't believe how toothless they were. I can't seem to remember one single shot on goal and this at Anfield too. Marseille thoroughly deserved their win but I see no reason why Liverpool can't go over there and get a result and, if you think you're a bad loser you should hear what comes out of my niece Deborah's mouth shouting at the telly when the Pool are on.

I am rather dreading Sunday as I fear a backlash. They'll want to put on a good performance after last night and Spurs could be their whipping boys.

I wish I had a cool uncle to watch the footy with.


My Dad's brother (as lovely as he is) supports Norwich and I really can't imagine sitting in the pub with him, as I'd imagine it would be quite dull. My Scouse Uncle Tommy, however is very cool B), but he HATES football. He used to me as a kid that I'd grow out of it. :(

Brilliant!! The boss has left early so I've got the Spurs game on in the office. The result should be a forgone conclusion seeing as we're 6-1 up from the first leg but it does give us a chance to give some other players on the fringe of the first team a run out.

Right, I'll get in early so as not to be accused of any wrong doing this time ;-)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
