As per my Happy Valley promo thread last year which got a good few of you onboard, it’s Blue Lights I’m pushing this year. Series one last year was a really good watch, at times there were tears and nail biting in my gaff, and that was just the dog. Great acting, and realistic plot line. It’s...

For foodies really, though the bar looks nice and well stocked too. The White Bull at Ribchester Been going to this place for about 30 years on and off as its had its ups and downs. Back to its best now. Had a lovely meal there today. If you don’t mind a 40 minute drive out for your lunch I’d...

Not getting any sleep until about 3 or 4am at the mo after going to bed about 10.30 🫤 I know it’s just excitement brain overload for my forthcoming trip to New York as it started about a week and a half ago when I bought my ESTA visa and started planning my days. I’m just not good at all with...

Gone 30 years this time and would have been 81 today. Big Blackpool fan, put the tangerine blood into my veins. Love you, miss you dad 🍊⚽️🌹❤️xx

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zf8j92p https://pieceofcakemarketing.co.uk/the-7-generations-and-why-they-matter-in-marketing/ So what generation are you ? Generation X for me. The least parented generation full of latch key kids with independence and resilience as a result and a need...

Anyone used it ? I have an account with them but not really used it. As I’m off to New York soon I’ve been looking at payment options whilst there and Chase has no fees for this and uses the Mastercard exchange rate, which looks slightly better than my Natwest debit card. Natwest also charges a...

So currently in Alnwick, which is lovely. Tomorrow we have a train journey booked to Edinburgh from Alnmouth. By the time of our return journey around 6pm tomorrow the wind in Edinburgh has a weather warning for 56 mph. In your opinion could these speed gusts lead to rail cancellations etc ...

Bit early for end of year threads but so what. What‘s your best purchase this year ? For me it’s my Dunlop wellies. Bloody love them. I wish it wasn't somehow bad etiquette to wear them at the supermarket or to the Trafford Centre, because I feel totally liberated and countrified when I’m...

Heard on the radio today that Austria’s airport have a desk for folk who got on the wrong plane and thought they were headed for Australia ! What a total Bumbder ! Any other random quirky facts ?

Not a negative thread, a curious one , and putting things into perspective. What are your 3 biggest fears ? I’ll start with :- Anything bad happening to my kids or granddaughter, or them being distressed in any way. Having another nervous breakdown. Disappearing into a sink-hole overnight...

I wasn’t going to watch it, and to be fair I only watched half and hour and I’m probably out now. But have to say what a stunning acting performance from Steve Coogan. Amazing portrayal of Saville. BAFTA awaits no doubt.

Should it be legalised ? The ripper drama got me thinking about this. Not sure I had an opinion before but I’ve got one now ! Open to be dissuaded though as ever. I feel that if a woman, or man, wants to use their body to make money then why not ? If she/he isn’t controlled by a pimp and it...

So what will you be having ? Steak for me, with crinkle cut fries, mushrooms, and gone all out chavtastic and bought a tin of marrowfat peas 🥹 Aldi Belgian bun for dessert. Lashings of diet lemonade 🤓 Happy Friday brethren 🥳 You ?

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-naive-cynicism-of-russell-brands-hasty-defenders/ Yes, Russell Brand related, but this is news and fair game. A criminal investigation is now underway as a woman has approached the police regarding an assault as early as 2003. Not one of the four ladies...

Is retired on here and how do you spend your time ? Would you rather be working ? Or not ? I partially retired at 51 ( 53 now ) down to 28 hours. I’ve been on leave this week and I’ve had such a nice time chilling, dog walking, reflecting, shopping, going for coffee, people watching, gardening...

So what’s your biggest achievement ? It can be anything at all ! Personal life, career wise, family, travel, sport, art, qualifications. Anything ? Mine is bouncing back from 3 mental health crisis episodes and becoming a very contented person indeed 👍 You ?

Gutted I’m in the office today so won’t be able to see this. Keep me updated please ! Best of luck to our girls, massive day, and really massive day Sunday if we can get past the Aussie’s. Come on England ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️🥰

Only gone and got one 🥹 I‘ve posted before about considering getting a dog, then spent loads of time looking for one, and now I’ve gone and got a 9 month old Labrador that needed rehoming. Picked him up this morning and its all quite scary. He is adorable, friendly, fun, loving and lively 🤭 I...

For those of us not travelling to Exeter today a nice start to get us in the mood. 11.30 kick off, a bit early for a pint for you guys, probably, but a nice time for a bit of brunch, maybe. I’m not confident about this one. I still think we feel the player losses too much , but I’m rooting...
