Birthday boy again today, getting into big numbers now. Still things improving nicely on the football front, a few jars tonight and a family meet up. Halloween nothing to do with my strange goings on, just made this way.

Happy birthday socks mate! ????. I remember my wife telling me that the Doctor said I should restrict myself to 2 pints a night but she’d noticed I’d had 8 pints. I told her that I’d spoken to 4 different doctors ………. ????.

Happy birthday Redsocks, have a great day!

Thanks to you all.

This Lucy Letby appeal worries me, its been refused due to an expert saying that all the evidence put forward is most convincing.
But, there are just as equal are other experts saying this has the impression of a miscarriage or justice.
Its all circumstantial evidence, so why not let the law be just and give her an appeal, its as though the law cannot be wrong and we make the suspect fit the crime. She may well be guilty but there is enough doubt in the evidence for me to warrant an appeal. If they brought back hanging then this is well suspect.

People should be made to think, not what to think. ?.

I haven’t really followed the Letby case in detail. There is a lot of medical and other expert evidence to plough through of which the press, of necessity, omit 99% of.
If you want a more obvious example of malicious prosecution then look no further than the decision to charge Sgt Martin Blake for the lawful killing in self defence of the gangster Kabba. A disgraceful political decision by a cowardly CPS to appease the mob.

Livy letby will end up being acquitted. It’s disgraceful how the police get treated for doing the jobs. It’s all going to come home to roost in this country very soon because we’ve surrendered to the loopy legion. Don’t blame labour either because it’s all gathered huge momentum during the elongated tory rule.

Heres a english word question, for those who fancy a challenge.
As my wife is an A level english teacher I finally caught her out on this, and also another head of english too.
What word describes the sweet smell in the air when its started to rain and also after a very light shower.
One for you here Stokey.
1.) 29 Sep 2024 10:01:06
Petrichor.
2.) 29 Sep 2024 10:08:54
Argillaceous odour. Petrichor is a made up word.
3.) 29 Sep 2024 17:33:23
It’s a good one Redsocks mate. Never heard of it and had to google ??
It’s a wonderful and evocative smell though especially after hot weather. It’s like when I smell cigarettes I always think of going to the City Ground with my Dad before smoking was banned.
Marcel Proust famously wrote a whole segment of his wonderful novel “A la recherche du Temps perdu” translated roughly as “In search of lost Time” after smelling a batch of freshly baked Madeline cakes.
I also thought of one of my favourite poems by Edward Thomas called “Tall Nettles” which ends:
“This corner of the farmyard I like most,
More than the bloom of any flower,
The dust on the nettles never lost,
Except to prove the sweetness of a shower.”
Just lovely.

Read in Saturday's paper that HS2 trains have to be altered due to wrong platform levels. They have built the new station platforms for HS2 trains at a lower level, so the new carriages are built to suit that level. So when the HS2 carriages go into standard station platform station it's the wrong level.
£200,000,000 to now alter the carriages, whose fault is it at design level?. Disabled folk might not even be able to use these trains. HS2 is UKs show piece to the world, did we invent railways?
{Ed033's Note - We might have founded railways. :)

Awful if that's correct Socks. What a waste of taxpayers' money.
I wouldn't spend that sort of money just so disabled people can use it though - sod them, make them crawl.

Just read “British Rail, the making and breaking of our railways” by Christian Wolmar who is THE go to expert on railways for all the media, press and governments. If you want to know exactly what a disaster privatisation was and is, just have a read of this friends.
Such basic errors as platform height differences and facilities for the disabled would never have occured with an integrated system as run by British Rail.
Incidentally, there was absolutely no appetite for privatisation until John Major decided it might be a good money spinner to sell off the operation already paid for by me and you, the long suffering tax payers. It was such a shambles he never mentioned it in his autobiography which is 900 pages long. ……
By the way, the stories of British Rail running dirty stations, late trains, stale sandwiches and the wrong type of snow on the tracks are complete media inventions by the Tory Press to prepare the way for its break up. As late as 2021, the spiv Transport Minister Grant Shapps was still peddling these lies…….

I was banging on about this sort of thing to my worldly wise friend Bowie a few weeks ago with reference to his line of work with the privatised water companies. How can Thames Water for example, go bankrupt ( and pollute our rivers) when all the infrastructure was already in place from the tax payer going back to Victorian times and their raw material falls from the skys?
Like the banks, railways, water companies etc the bosses are paid handsomely for failure knowing the Governnent will bail them out at our expense ( and they still pay out dividends). To Thames Water, add Lloyds Bank, Bradford and Bingly, Royal Bank of Scotland and East Coast Railway etc etc ???.

A man walked down the road and saw a bedraggled man fishing in a large puddle in the road. Feeling sorry for the fisherman he offered to buy him a drink in a near by pub. After he drunk his pint he was offered another. The man said, how many have you caught today, to which the man said, " eight, and you make it nine".
1.) 02 Jun 2024 18:41:07
The old man comes round from his operation, a bit groggy, he sees a nurse and says " Nurse are my tentacles black", the nurse says "I'm sure I don't know", " please nurse can you check" says the old man. The nurse lifts the blankets, pulls aside his hospital gown and says " They look fine to me". The old man clears his throat and says, " NURSE, are my TEST RESULTS BACK! ".

Is it in the contract that he could be dragged kicking and screaming to play in Greece, regardless what he wants.
09 Jun 2024 09:37:09
Sorry, not for me.

I believe there is a win and draw in there somewhere in the next 4.
24 Nov 2024 09:40:47
Think we resigned ourselves that we would lose, so we played a game with players who needed game time. If we had players who had a question of injury then they were rested, think it was a question of trying to keep a tight ship and keep the score down. Arsenal were on a iffy run and they went for it.
23 Nov 2024 18:46:58
Ipswich a cert draw, we play negative when we play. Are we anywhere near the team that played the first 10 games.
21 Nov 2024 23:39:08
Some fair points, but I see some right wing thinking amongst us, and a little left wing. The farmers and fishermen voted for brexit, thinking there was a pot of gold just waiting. They were making a good living but never satisfied, they listen to false promises, remember that. We are in quere street and its not by any means looking brighter.

The outside world were made welcome at my dear friends home prior to the England game. He is as you can clearly see that he has severely deprecated from the normal characteristics of someone the samme age. Yes he has had a fantastic football life, but has it been worth it. He still recognises me, but the conversations are a little more difficult. God bless him and his dear wife Penny.
