Cask bitter in a freehouse was about 6 quid!

King Power want Leicester City to be a global brand that is recognised under the umbrella of King Power, fundamentally being a destination for people from all around the world to watch Premier League. They also want us locals to bow down to their friends and family like we are absolute nobodies and have made no contribution to the club’s history prior to 2010. The behaviour on the bus parade and at the Blackburn game, was indicative of a hierarchy that the ownership group wanted to bring to Leicester City. I can’t be bothered anymore.

Sure it was mentioned in Norman Davies’s history of Europe.

Some pints in Blakeney and Cromer!

Those wondering why individuals want to vote for Reform. You only have to see the downward spiral of Blue Van Man since Covid, that indicates the effects of Covid lockdown and increased internet use, making quite ordinary people increasingly paranoid about things that aren’t important.

Ran from Cromer to Sheringham this morning and back. Just over 7 miles in just an hour and 2 minutes. Fantastic sun with the sea breeze. -
It is! My grandparents lived here, so I used to come to Norfolk once a month for quite a substantial period of my life. Popped into their old village (North Elmham), visited the old chapel/later castle ruins, which was quite nostalgic. Staying just outside of Cromer.

I am in Norfolk this week, hence my asking! Fancied reading something appropriate to where I am staying. Will go and have a look for the sort of recommendation, tomorrow!

Watched England game at the Real Ale Classroom last night. The seating was far more comfortable in the basement and there thankfully wasn’t any of the typical England tournament fan making an uneasy atmosphere.

Leicester City and VfL Bochum - Blue and White Friendship
westernpark replied to AndWhat?'s topic in Leicester City Forum
Ah that’s pretty cool, very organic friendship. -
Leicester City and VfL Bochum - Blue and White Friendship
westernpark replied to AndWhat?'s topic in Leicester City Forum
I really like that some Leicester fans are friends with some Bochum fans. But I’d like to know how the initial interaction happened. Was it random or planned? I’m still not certain whether the initial clubs are just coincidence, or whether Leicester and Bochum actually matter. -
An absolute rubbish footballer. Get some cream for your acne.

Any recommendations for a biography of Lord Nelson?

Kevin Campbell In Hospital “Seriously Ill”
westernpark replied to Sampson's topic in Leicester City Forum
Played for the club before I was born. But the fact that older generations talked about him as that ‘great’ loan signing, was indicative of his impact at the club. I really enjoyed listening to him on the Undr the Cosh podcast, where his personality and general warmth, shone through. -
Absolutely no way they could afford him.

Is Veeno the sort of the place you have to book?
-
Probably the closest thing to it would be Ale Wagon. But their beers are now brewed by Tower Brewery I believe.

John Ashworth doing his best Ben Swain impression on Newsnight.
-
I’m even more intrigued to see what they’ve done now!!
-
The rise in people saying ‘badminton’ rather than adminton.
-
That’s quite important they get it right because there will be sad anoraks like me in the audience.
-
Do people go to Gigs by themselves? Really desperate to see The Hunna in July at 02 academy but as midweek, I’ll probably be going by myself.
-
That’s a really good choice, will go prior to seeing that Leicester City play at the Curve!

Group C: Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England
westernpark replied to Mark's topic in General Football and Sport
Yeah they’ve got Geoff Peters for the group games apparently. Not sure I’ve got it in me to be chucking beer over my head anymore, especially for a group game against Serbia 🤣
