  1. Thank you for introducing me to this band. I'm transported back to the feelgood times of the 60s. So happy.

  3. Had a couple, last one three years ago - didn't experience any problems, wouldn't worry if I had to have another. Discomfort was minimal.
  4. Rolling Stones anyone? Quite popular in their day.
  5. Educated at Wyggeston Boys, my old school. Similarity ends there.
  6. If I'm reading this correctly the Analysis Series report concludes that when we are in L1 to service the Macquarie debt we would have to sell the entire squad. Doesn't look promising.
  7. Simon Smith and the amazing dancing bear.
  8. The culture. This is driven by top management, if a culture of expected excellence and visible commitment to achieve that goal isn't forthcoming then poor attitudes can seep throughout the club. Without management that will relentlessly pursue achievement, we are doomed to be average at best.
  9. I'm in my seventies now and for most of my life I've been used to City being a good Tier 2 side or a poor Tier 1 side. Then the impossible happened and together with the investment in the club I could see that we had the opportunity to transform into an upper Tier 1 side. Everything seemed to be in place and the most painful thing for me is to see that lost through mismanagement of the club. I doubt that any other club has thrown away so much in such a short period of time. We're in a bad way now and the opportunity we had may well have been lost forever. Plus there is no sign of the decline stopping. I fear where we may eventually end up, and even if the club will survive.
  10. I have no medical knowledge but have a friend who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2019. He goes for treatment on the tumour roughly every six months and this is keeping it in check. I last saw him in January, he looks well and if I hadn't known I would never have guessed that he had cancer. Good luck with your treatment.
  11. I've had spots, mostly pre-cancerous, removed at my local surgery's cryo clinic (which involves freezing them - not a painful exercise). I've also had a referral to dermatology to deal with a cancerous area which appeared on my face and ear - I was prescribed a cream which was described as chemo in a tube which turned the cancerous cells black and caused them to die and drop off and be replaced by healthy ones. I wasn't pretty for a while but the treatment was effective. My mother had previously been diagnosed with skin cancer which she treated with make up for nearly a year before that was successfully treated. So I've joined the ranks of many who have had successful treatment for pre-cancerous and cancerous growths. Hopefully they can deal with your problem with just as much effectiveness. I have a few spots and lumps so when I went to Dermatology I asked them to look at them all and was told that they were non life threatening signs of ageing which they couldn't do anything about.
  12. I left a job I'd been in for more than twenty years. It was great when I started but the company changed and by the end I was hating myself for going in to work, even though I liked the majority of my colleagues. If I hadn't left I would have cursed myself for the rest of my time there. Leaving wasn't easy, especially as I was in my fifties, but I couldn't stand it any more. It was tricky for a time after leaving but I felt a lot better about myself, was much more self-motivated, and was glad that I had made the move. it's easy to focus on the potential for poor outcomes for any action. I found that assigning percentages to each possible outcome helped get things into perspective. For example, staying in my existing job, potential for being unhappy 90%; getting a new job and hating it, maybe 25%; getting a new job and liking it maybe 50%; getting a new job ok but still a bit better than my old one 25%. On those odds going for a new job was the right decision for me.
  13. At least there was a protest. The impact may still be larger than the size of the protest, it was mentioned on the Sky match commentary which gives it exposure to a very wide audience. I didn't hear any reference to the number attending. If you love the club then you do what you can. The problem I see with Top is that he professes to love the club, but he either can't or won't see that it is its management under his stewardship which has led us to the sad situation in which we find ourselves now. If you truly love someone then you don't do them harm.
  14. I like the idea of Leicester Phoenix.
  15. I was at the other end of Craven Cottage with the other City supporters when this happened - fortunately Len Glover equalised later.
  16. Before heavy metal was a genre
  17. I remember Do Not Adjust Your Set. It introduced me to the Bonzos. Many of the younger FT membership may never have heard of the programme, but it featured Michael Palin, Terry Jones and Eric Idle along with a young David Jason and Denise Coffey. I think that anyone who likes Monty Pythons Flying Circus would appreciate some of the comedy so I'm including a link. The Bonzos perform Jollity Farm in the Boxing Day Pilot. Enjoy.
