I switched off my phone and the alerts. Switched my phone back on at 3.30 and it went off then. So much for a safe system for those who have a ‘hidden phone’ because of domestic violence etc. Which does not apply to me, in case anyone is worried

Having a Bacup look. I always assumed this was only a Rossendale saying. Is this used further a field?

From Tod. Picking things up to look at them - my Dad would say “you from Bacup? They look with’ their fingers in Bacup”

It was actually the 'South' Riding that was absent - there was an East, West, and North.

I recall a fictional tv drama 'South Riding', but I can't remember anything about it.

Book by Winifred Holtby, made into a TV series.

We can’t get patients out of hospital into nursing homes because nursing homes won’t take covid positive patients. We can’t force them because they are all private and can refuse whoever they want. Whose idea was it to privatise nursing homes? Discharging Covid positive patients into Care Homes is ...

Saw the two lads being arrested before the game. One wearing a balaclava, both bundled into the back of a police van. About five vans there and a couple of police on horses. My grandsons were at their first derby and loved seeing all the police - thought it was very exciting! Trouble-free and happy ...

Thanks, BigF. That will be 37 slices and 103 ml of vinegar. Three points and bragging rights - but no fighting or other nonsense

52 slices, 146 ml of liquid and 76 mustard seeds. Win would do us good after Saturday’s disappointment. UTC!
Excellent picture if I may say so, Claretmisterg.

Definitely teacake. Quite peculiar to Burnley and Pendle I think. I once asked for a ham and salad teacake in Manchester and they looked at me like I'd gone mad!

Tea cake in Tod too!

Due out next month. Soul numbers - just listened to Bruce singing Do I Love You (Indeed I do). I was a soul babe back in the day, especially Stax and Atlantic - not sure about this at all. What does anyone else think?

Brucefanclaret

422 kernels and 62 juice

Brucefanclaret

Blimey Bruce you must have deep pockets. :lol: Was a very special treat. 20 years ago, Mr Brucefan had emergency open-heart surgery and was told his new aortic valve might only last him 10 years. Double that seemed like a good reason to dip into those pockets! Living off lettuce leaves and stale br...

If you’re prepared to go over the border, The Angel at Hetton, nr Skipton is fabulous. Just come back from a two-night stay there and loved every minute!

Great player. Can't stand the way Phil Bird pronounces his name, rolling his r's with that Blackburn twang.

You know that yesterday’s commentator wasn’t Phil Bird?

I don’t know who he is but he spends a lot of his time talking about other things rather than the game. Phil Bird left a message on YouTube that he was at a funeral.

Thank, Frenchclaret. Totally agree - not as good as Phil B!

Brucefanclaret

Anyone else on Clarets+? Who is commentating? It’s not Phil Bird….

Gavin Young will be singing it on the Turf on Saturday, presumably after a minutes silence. Personally, I'm not ready to sing 'God save the king' yet. Just doesn't feel right. Can somebody prevail upon Gavin to resist the temptation to end on a high note? They all do it nowadays and it’s wrong! Is ...

Brucefanclaret

88 cockles in 57 ml of brine. Thanks for doing the count, Eloise Laws! UTC!

Brucefanclaret

Bump bump.
I nearly missed this one (being a bit dim) cos it didn’t say food count. Now, I would personally agree that cockles are not a food stuff as I have a serious allergy to them - but is it worth amending the title, I wonder? Off to think about my guesstimate now!
