Thanks. What did you get for Christmas?

I might get some of these:

That's the Aldi version.

Whelks, mmmm!

For me, warm buttered spinach heaped on buttered chunky white bread, seasoned with salt n pepper and Marmite. When I was a kid my dad found it was the only way he could get me to eat spinach which he thought, rightly as it turns out, was a superfood. It's still something I indulge in every so often. I also like Escargot, (edible snails) and Frogs legs. This came about when I was "entertaining" at the old Carousel fun pub years ago and they formed part of a "revolting food" eating contest. I tried them before getting the punters up to scoff them as quickly as possible. The only difference was that mine were just as they came, the contestant's versions were covered with custard. Oddly, as far as I remember, only one person ever threw up. And to think the prize was a free pint.

And now there's salted chocolate/caramel products galore.

Hinckley's road infrastructure is diabolical. There's only 1 main road going from Barwell through to Burbage and that goes through the centre of town past a major shopping centre and is always jammed up. It's only about 2 miles but there's 9 sets of traffic lights. Then London Road incoming from M69 at the Brookside junction, again always so slow during busy periods. Just wait until the huge Bloor development by Triumph is completed as well as this: Land outside Hinckley set for almost 900 homes after new plans unveiled - Leicestershire Live. The Northern Perimeter road is going to be impossible. I know there's not a lot that can be done, but these roads were never meant for the volume of traffic there is now

Salah>Messi? Another standout performance today among many. Undoubtedly a living football legend.

News to me but, hey ho. He's not alone.

Make the most of what we're seeing. He won't be here for long.

Does that make him a "bad person" as some posters seem to think?

Me too. It's a shame that people on here and in the ground, and I include myself, have lambasted him for his poor performances but that's born out of frustration and despair. It's not really his fault that he's poor at this level. However, he needed to admit to himself and his manager(s) that the team would have been better off if he didn't play. But what player is ever going to do that? Unfortunately for us, the number 2 becomes the number 1 when the number 1 is out.

As many of us here know, depression and anxiety can be triggered by repeating a circumstance that leaves a person feeling worthless and stupid and without any support or understanding. I think removing Ward from the circumstances he was involved in and (hopefully) giving him the MH support he might need, is the best for him.

That's why we have underfloor heating under our tiled conservatory and kitchen floor. And it certainly wasn't/isn't cheap. Although I'll give you "wipeable".

His "reports" were largely meaningless journalistic drivel. Maybe he's moved on to other things? Or just given up.

Yes. Thanks. Korean one is either a tragic accident or a tragic failure of the aircraft.

Seems to me that the Korean plane was a victim of the Russian air defences, in genuine error.

I think the loss of the writing of Andy Hamilton and the semi-improv dialogue by the kids that was a feature of the original, has brought the show down.

Both IMO

The bloke's one of the most pessimistic posters on here and that's saying something

Cyclists fault.
