Two games.... My first ever game sometime in 1981 or 1982. Alan Stevensons testimonial vs Man City. Think we lost 3-2 My first ever competitive game was on 26th Feb 1983 against Charlton. We won 7-1 with hat tricks from Taylor and Hamilton I think. Alan Simonsen played for Charlton. He was European ...

My GP practice in Pendle has three partners. Two of the partners see patients for 2-3 sessions per week. The rest of their time is taken up with chairing steering committees and non-NHS work. Their NHS income accounts for a fraction of the other incomes they are generating. One of these 'partners' c...

Had it in January but I’m convinced I’ve had it recently but every test came back negative

Same here. My missus too. She works for the NHS and is convinced that there is a major strain out there that hasn't been recognised.

I get the feeling that gays, the same as vegetarians, for some reason have a need to come out when , really, not that many people have strongly opposed views on it these days.

At long last!

Football should be played with feet (predominantly)
I have long held the belief that a throw-in is largely a disadvantage to the team throwing it in. Assuming it is replaced with a kick-in, then this should be much more of a leveller.

Just checked my lads renewal (still a learner) .... £553 vs £731 last year with Admiral on a 10yr old Peugeot 107. My daughters was similar and went up by about £300 when she passed her test. She's now aged 20, just bought a brand new Audi A1 and its costing her about £80/mth

Just to say for those who mentioned Admiral.....
they have quoted him £6,626.38p and that is with me as a named driver. I have 15 years no claims bonus.

The car is only worth £2000.

Where do you live? Strangeways!?

Admiral were cheapest when my son passed his test and was shopping around for new driver insurance but that was a while ago

My lad is with Admiral too

Also, don't just rely on comparison websites as not all insurers show up on there

Add their parents names as second drivers (assuming that they have clean licences)....that should bring the price down. For anyone with kids that are learning, get them insured as a learner on their own car (if they have one) and start accumulating NCB at a much lower rate. My kids paid about £65/mt...

If you decide to stay and fix for three years, you should be able to 'port' your existing deal to the new property so that you can continue to benefit from it. Any additional borrowing will be at the rates available when you move. Alternatively if you move now, there are plenty of five year fixed de...

Surprised that there hasn't been much mention of this.... Firstly, Nick's distribution was first rate. I have been so frustrated in the past when he has received the ball and held back from the quick long throw or punt down the field when we have had players in promising positions. Last night, he lo...

Give Burnley Ace a break.... His post merely suggests that he has heard a version of events that would suggest that there is a lot more to this than AP just firing Dyche for the poor performances.

Happy to admit that I am a member of a similar scheme. I have made my 'investment' (about £250 in my case) and am probably as sceptical about the scheme as anyone who hasn't joined.

It would be quite unusual if an agreement has not been made that he does not play against us this season.

I would think it very unusual if there is such an agreement and I don't believe that it would ever be included in such a contract these days (unless it was a loan signing)

It works two ways

Hmmm....not sure it does

One is a general statement about the fact that he has had a (relatively) senior role within a major financial corporation; and another that implies that he contributed to their demise

When I moved here from Manchester back in 1981, I struggled to come to terms with the use of 'well' instead of 'very' in the local dialect. For example, if you like something, it is 'well good' or if something is rather large, it is 'well big'.
