Reserves vs Sheffield United at Upton Park on a Tuesday night I think. Must have been about 1966.

"Had a red- legged partridge in the garden today. Not seen them for while. Usual pheasants on the ground and goldfinch on the feeders. A rare sight now, the lesser spotted woodpecker, again not been a visitor for a while. Regularly get the cousin green or common woodpecker. Kites circle all day, col...

Very sad news. He was a huge part of my youth and a big influence on my music taste. I turned 70 last week and to lose Steve Harley aged only 73 is a big leveler. His album 'Face to face' one if the best ever. RIP Steve.

Pub Bigot. Get your arse up to Kingsholm Gloucester. Loads of pubs. Guaranteed great times regardless of the rugby quality this season.

"Try not to drink Monday through Thursday but often succumb to a couple of gin n tonics on Thursday. Couple of ciders on a Friday, Westons Vintage (8.2%), Stowford Press or my homebrew. Open a bottle of Malbec and will probably have half of it. Saturday is sport day so couple of ciders and remaining...

WHU (Exeter) Bless you and your dad mate. RIP. Will certainly do my best to spread whatever seeds I have wherever I can in memory of your dad.

"For the last couple of weeks we've had hoards of Goldfinches on our feeders and on the lawn beneath. 20 to 30 at a time. Never had them before. Spectacular little buggers, absolutely beautiful. Jackdaws have all buggered off now thankfully. Noisy, greedy bastards."

"Rio Just had standard long distance lens. It's fantastic that you can have a long in one eye and a close in the other. The brain sorts it all out so no glasses required at all. I had PVD in both eyes resulting in detached, torn retinas and the 'jelly' removed. This made the cataract surgery very co...

"Rio. Had both cataracts done last year (aged 68) after 60 years of dreadful short-sightedness, thick glasses and contact lens. It's was the most miraculous thing I've ever experienced (apart from children). Colours more vivid and able to drive in the dark. Still need reading bins but fantastic long...

Isolated. The Oswestry pub full of hammers fans watching the Brighton game.

Isolated. Bro tells me it was The George but he was a bit pissed.

My brother and wife spent the weekend of the Brighton game in Oswestry. They picked a random pub to watch the game and it was full of fellow Hammers fans. They had a great time and got on really well with these guys and we won as well. Last week in majorca, they went into a bar only to find the same...

"Born and bred in Tewkesbury, still visit family regularly. Nice quiet little place with some great pubs."

"I burn a lot of logs. Woodburners virtually going 16 hours a day. The price of wood has rocketed, its probably cheaper now to run the gas all day. Profiteering tossers."

"Rio, I live in The Chilterns West of High Wycombe and Red Kites are very common up here. Majestic birds. Can often count a dozen of them spiralling on thermals. We have a nest in one of our trees where a couple of chick's were raised a year or so ago. Hopefully it will be used again. Getting some b...

"NS, seen every single episode, every Christmas Special and all the ones where they visit USA and Europe. But the ones on the park with Mr Leyhey (sp) and Randy are the best. Proper stupid stuff."

"I don't know, I'm a reasonable bloke. I just want some common sense. I'm not racist, but of course just saying that proves that I am. Sick of it. BBC News - Wellcome Collection closes 'racist, sexist and ableist' Medicine Man display https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63772864"

"Some London primary school has abandoned the house names ""Churchill"" and ""Rowling"" due to perceive racial slights. Renamed one of them ""Rashford"" ffs."

"""I have questioned my sexuality since the age of 12 or 13, thinking I was bisexual."" Bloody he'll, at that age my only question was whether to read The Beano or The Dandy first."

"I too enjoyed Schitts Creek, very whimsical. Watched all 4 episodes of Night Stalker on Netflix. What a horrible place 1980s LA must have been."

"I thought White Lines was dreadful. Terrible acting and direction so gave it up. Currently watching 13 Reason Why. on Netflix, quite good. Enjoyed Space Force, very funny."

Second series of 'You' on Netflix. Brilliant.
