I'm definitely interested in tomorrow's announcement on the EPS and Saxons.

14. Ashton

13. Turner-Hall

12. Twelvetrees/Hooper

11. Strettle (Sharples would be on the bench)

10. Farrell (Hodgson on the bench if things aren't going well)

Are you going to any games jacks09? I'm hoping to be at Hoopers pub for most (if not all the) games. It's a good rugby-loving crowd there.

At Hoopers there is a big projection screen at the back of the main bar (nr the gents). There is another tv at the front of the bar and another in the snug. Given the timing of the six nations, I suspect two will show the rugby and one will have some football.


Jamie, the owner, is a big rugby nut and you get a rugby loving and knowledgable crowd for the games unlike most other local pubs.


More than happy to have a few halves with you, Help-Me-Boab. With Scots and English blood I'm always torn on that game but if you're going to be there I'll cheer on the men in white just to make it interesting.


Can we interest MrBen and other ED-based Scots?

Think I'll give Hoopers a whirl then for the opening game. Always feels like the winter gloom is lifting once the 6 Nations starts. Burns the weekend before so will be on a major Scottish jag come the 4th Feb....


After having a fairly dry January, LASERS will firmly be set tae MALKY!.....CHARGE.

LASERS will firmly be set tae MALKY!.....CHARGE.


Always wondered what that expression meant: according to wiki here:


Malky / Malkie - slang term originating from Glasgow & the West coast of Scotland, used to describe slashing someone with an open razor. Comes from the rhyming slang Malcom (Malky) Fraser (Razor).


Is that right?

Many of us regulars have rallied round and written to the authorities asking that the complaint not be upheld.

At the time Jamie asked us to let our opinion be known it was 1-1 so I'm pretty confident that in terms of wider input into the case the pro hoopers lobby has done well.


Fingers crossed, and see you all there.

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
