Hmmm so Starmer reduces the tax a little from the smoking fraternity. Wonder where else he is going to make up the revenue from the taxation.
He has clobbered the pensioners already, now this.
I'm a non smoker but smoking outside has never really been an issue with anyone close to where I am.
Never wanted the clown to be in charge of the country, but now he is he is showing just what an idiot he is.

Only pet I'd go for is a dog, nothing else.
Had 2 dogs over my 40 odd years of moving away from parents. Not had anything for the last 10 years or so, too restricting when we like to travel abroad for breaks (would cost a fortune in kennel fees). Would probably have another small dog if we ever got that we couldnt fly for any reason.

Am I the only one who never found Last of the Summer Wine (& Dads Army) funny?
If it was on I used to sit there wondering if I would ever find anything to laugh about through the whole programme.

Nurse is left sided and will surely be eased into things. Nurse needs easing in gently tbh, one more long term injury and its bye bye pro career I'd guess. Cant see him starting or playing a full game for several weeks yet. And he wont be back to his best possibly till around Christmas (if at all). Sorry if it sound pessimistic but he has been out for 24 months and will understandably be quite nervous about it all.

The aforementioned motorway middle lane hoggers really windy me up - don't realise they are taking up two lanes of the motorway!! Well they are not taking up two lanes really, there is still room to pass on the inside of them. Yes I know, but it happens more and more these days. Do it slowly as you go past their front window and you can give them the finger as you go past.

Footnote - saw a BMW who has obviously paid the extra for indicators today. Made such a difference that everyone else in the vicinity actually knew which turn off they were taking off the island. Well done that driver.

Oops,weve all sent an email to the wrong person I'm sure. Just make sure it's just an inoffensive one if you do it.

Dunny on Radio Shrops has just been through the teams and said we've now named 7 subs but are allowed 9 in the League CUP!! 9 subs? Bonkers.

For example the likes of myself, Northwestman and Grizzly used to enjoy dissecting the manager’s thoughts over a continental lager whilst tightly packed into a pub awaiting the 5:30 Premiership kick-off. Not me I dont think. Getting me confused with someone else.

Another vote from me for Carrott, and Mrs Browns Boys (about the only thing I find funny on TV these days).
I'd also add Only Fools and Horses, and Till Deafh Us Do Part. Some great clips of both on Utube.

Booking a holiday. It doesn't matter if it's a bucket list one or just a few days away, it always gives us a boost especially if it's booked in the middle of Winter when it's just miserable outside. Yep, most of my holidays and breaks are during the crap weather autumn to spring months. A few days of blue skies and a bit of sunshine brightens the mood no end. 2024 has been just so particularly dull, cloudy and rainy. Worse than most other years.

Think it would be the first time a Welsh club has qualified for the group stages.
Same for Larne in Northern Ireland too. A goal behind going into the home leg against a Gibraltar side, surely got a decent chance of overturning it you would think.

First Leo we have had since Leo Fortune-West who was also on loan. His final game was another Wembley defeat in the 1996 L2 Play off Final against Bristol Rovers. 2007 😉

Survey cold callers who won't take a polite no thank you and continue jabbering on making it necessary to put the phone down on them. Don't like doing it as they are only doing their job.Main ones at the moment are for Life Insurance or COVID jabs. Do they/ are they? Easy answer is dont answer the phone to anyone you dont know. If it's important they will leave a message and you can ring them back if needs. Served me well over the years saved me loads of wasted time.

M.Feeney starts for me. Could Nurse get some minutes? The new kid from Chelsea Debuts? Surely Nurse has to get some minutes even if it's just the last 10 or so. If not it's quite worrying.

Was struggling at times but we were playing most of his time in the league above where we are now.

people who don't indicate when leaving a roundabout, so I'm sitting there in case I have to give way like an idiot, not able to pull out until you've cruised off on your merry way - absolutely boil my p**s, it's so selfish and just apalling driving. OH YES.......big time. Just SOOOO annoying this one. Completely oblivious to anything but themselves. Amazing that a car can actually come with indicators in this day and age. Yes even BMWs do have them if you look carefully.

All the remaining clubs in Europe are aiming for a place in the group stages, win this tie (with the return next week) and you are there.
Results of the 1st leg Europa League Plzen (Chech Rep) 1-0 Hearts PAOK (Greece) 4-0 Shamrock Rovers
Conference League Panevezys (Lithuania) 0-3 TNS Kobenhavn (Denmark) 2-0 Kilmarnock St Patrick's 0-0 Basaksehyr (Turkey) Chelsea 2-0 Servette (Switzerland) Red Imps (Gibraltar) 2-1 Larne
All very much in with a chance except Shamrock Rovers. TNS look very likely to become the first Welsh club to get into European group stages, Larne will look to become the first N Ireland side too.

Crikey when was the last time we sold out an allocation to season ticket holders alone? Very pensive about the day itself but after 16 or however many years since we were last there, felt like I couldn't miss this one. I'd probably take doing the double against them and going down tbh. Dont think you need worry about doing the double over them, the other option is very likely on the cards however.....

Going to be some goalkeeoer superstition no doubt. some of us are old enough to remember when only time yellow keeper kits were allowed were in Internationals Wasnt there a regulation that keepers could only wear green, blue, red or white? Back in the 70s or thereabouts.

Killian Phillips has joined Idowu at St Mirren. Initially on loan but then joins permanently next summer. Killian Phillips and Idowu are very different standards. Surprised at Phillips not going higher than that tbh.

As a ground we've never (I think?) played at I think we played there in their first season there in 95. But yeah for lots of fans it will be a new ground Yep, I was there 2 Jan 95. Lost 2-1 but memorable for the Chris Withe chicken goal celebration. Think they went up via the play offs as we didnt play them the following season. Huddersfield also memorable for us doing the double over them a few years earlier at their old ground. Both to the tune on 5-1. I was only at the home game for that.
