David Beckham - a lifetime achievement award? that is rather strange.


I have voted for Graeme McDowell and Tony McCoy. Tony McCoy probably deserves a lifetime achievement award for his long term achievements but winning the grand national was the icing in the cake for his career to date.


Graeme McDowell for me deserves a shout for having won the US Open at Pebble Beach - most golfers who have watched the US players like Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus fight it out over that course in the 70's and 80's know what a great achievement that was. As well, Portrush has needed a champion to put it back on the world golfing map.


Coincidentally, both McDowell and Tony McCoy are from Co Antrim, so I'd be happy for either of them to win.

Oh god. Just switched this on to see Beckham dedicate an award for a third of a lifetime kicking a ball, ,to the men and women in Afghanistqn.

Hmmm, ok.


And now Ms Jenkins (phwooar) doing a painfully mawkish death list thing.


Am I in a parallel world, when did the BBC start going all....well.....ITV on us?


I'm off to bed I thnk.

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
