    [Humour] Proud of the Albion

    His? It's a tortoiseshell, male variety are as rare as rocking-horse poop. No idea why I've become all gender pedantic all of a sudden. Sorry everyone ....

    [Technology] emails keep disappearing

    Is your mailbox setup as IMAP or POP3 IMAP syncs very well to multiple devices, POP3 is old hat and is a 1-on-1 arrangement. Is it a new problem and was previously working fine?

    [Football] So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye

    Read the title and while the thread was opening was trying to work out who the second known leaver is after Adam Lallana. Proper shocked to see the two names come up. As per other other, not bothered by either [although I do know who Emma Hayes is/was]

    [Cricket] The village / amateur 2024 CRICKET thread...

    Not something to be coached nowadays. ECB removed long barrier from level 1 some years back. Get your body behind it and wear it if you need to, seems to be the modern equivalent. I learnt LB as a kid mainly because our school cricket pitch outfield had 2 football pitches either side of the...

    [Technology] Macbook Pro won't turn on

    Home or private users won't need official Windows support - every issue known is available via Google search. It's the big corporates that start running scared when they hear they are operating their business on something that's no longer supported by the manufacturer. The only likely issue is...

    [Cricket] The village / amateur 2024 CRICKET thread...

    Good cricket is played best when you understand it's all about alignment - by that, I mean head [i.e. your eyes] are behind the line of the ball as it moves towards you. Foot movement is key to achieving this. So, catching, fielding & batting are all about getting your head / eyes in line with...

    [Football] Wolves ..... and mental health

    Right up until I turned 32 and became a father for the first time I was emotionally tough - nothing phased me and I never shed a tear, not for anything. Then, when I had kids, watched my wife bring them into the world, took on the responsibility of parenting, I've become what I can only...

    [Misc] HR Nightmare

    It's threads like this that make me glad I took early retirement. Loved the job but managing people was a chore I loathed. Also, I miss ENREST. I would now be eagally awaiting a thread "I'm worried I'm about to lose my job because my line manager is a clock-watcher and has dobbed me in to HR...

    [Travel] Boring bus question

    I treat my clutch with the utmost kindness and respect but it does get a bit fed up on those long motorway trips back to Sussex from here. 220+ miles and SEVEN different motorways would make anything a bit fed up, no?

    Losing Weight

    Lots of talk on here about Keto The significant difference between Keto and Atkins diets is the total absence of carbs in Atkins which brings on Ketosis faster. Ketosis is a metabolic state characterised by elevated levels of ketone bodies in the blood or urine. Physiological ketosis is a...

    Losing Weight

    Semaglutide - been on it almost a year now - one tablet a day not the one injection per week option [aka the skinny jab, which is still in global short supply]. Defo works in a very smart way by mimicking the action of the hormone GLP-1 which is released from the gut after eating. For me...

    [Other Sport] Haggler v Hearns

    I remember watching the fight where Hagler dismantled Alan Minter [from Lindfield?]

    [Travel] Boring bus question

    I have a Volvo XC60 and this has an option to auto-stop the engine. This only happens if all of the following is true. The clutch is not depressed, and the vehicle is stationary (hand-brake doesn't have to be on) and the battery has at least 70% charge If all of these are not the case, the...
