The Fox Covert

It's the same steep hill as the other 23 Championship teams. Expect a bit of global warming from the belching clouds of black smoke from the exhausts of the leading contenders!

If they do sign him I will get a shirt with his name in his own language on the back - Твердохліб But I think Yegor will suit the other players fine.

The KP is far too near the canal. I would give it 24 hours before it ended up in the mud at the bottom. It took Bristolians two centuries to get rid of the statue of the slave trader Edward Colston!

Tommy Ten-Names started out as a football hooligan, named himself after one of the most prominent members of Luton Town's firm and has taken the nihilism and hate of football hooliganism into politics. Anyone not white, who doesn't have an Anglo-Saxon name like Robinson, is not welcome in his blinkered vision of White England. Nothing in his head has moved on from the National Front in the 1970s, or the Nazi Blackshirts in the 1930s.

(text from original post) Anyone else on here had a boundary dispute on their hands? A new neighbour moved in last year and has disputed my ownership of the boundary on one side of my garden. I want to erect a fence on the long side of the garden and can't do so until this issue is resolved. I commissioned a qualified boundary surveyor to investigate and he found a previous conveyance which showed the boundary of my property and the one on the other side which clearly shows my ownership of the boundary. The neighbour has refused to accept this and now claims shared ownership, without providing any evidence. Her 'qualified' help is apparently an architect and not a surveyor (I haven't seen his report). She has also erected a post and wire fence at the end of my garden without my permission, wholly within my property claiming that this is to stop her dogs roaming onto my property. I have never expressed any issue with her dogs and really could not care less one way or another. And wants me to erect a fence wholly within my property on the long side of the garden. The current state of play is that I have written to her asking to see the evidence of her ownership of the boundary or it being shared. I also said I will not erect a fence wholly within my property, as it will cause difficulties in the future as regards the precise line of the boundary. I also instructed her not to trespass on my property again and reserved the right to remove the fence at the end of my garden at any time without notice. I am hoping she goes running to a solicitor who should put her right on all this but it is a huge worry until this is resolved, as I want to move and can't put the house on the market until this is resolved. Any thoughts? Not the easiest thing is probably the best way to put it as my neighbour seems determined to dig her heels in. My letter was headed 'Without Prejudice' so I am sure she can't be so stupid that she does not realise what is likely to happen next. When she has seen a solicitor and has been told the score and what if might cost if she wants to press it then I will go back and suggest we have a meeting on neutral territory, with both my surveyor and her architect present, which will only cost the attendance fee for the professional advice. On past performance a meeting on either property will probably degenerate into a shouting match - not from me - and my neighbour calling the police. She seems to have done this at least twice before and I expect the police will once again shrug their shoulders and not bother to turn up.

No, so thanks for posting. I still have family in Leicester and did visit the location before doing the painting. I did know that the tunnel was open for visits every now and again but no idea that a railway had been installed in the tunnel. This painting was well received on my other social media so I have plans to follow it up with another painting some time.

My painting of the level crossing at Station Road, Glenfield. The Leicester and Swannington railway connected Leicester with the coalfields in the north west of the county and when opened in 1833 was the first steam railway in the Midlands. Coal almost immediately halved in price in the city, which was set on the course to becoming an economic powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution and one of the ten largest cities in the country. By the 1950s the line had become a backwater, most traffic in and out of the city going north and south on the former Midland and Great Central lines or east and west on the Midland lines to Peterborough and Birmingham. Many pits were still open and the main traffic of the line remained coal to the city coal merchants. There was a tunnel just on the Leicester side of the view, built to the diminutive proportions of the early railway locomotives from the 1830s. Only the smallest locomotives could pass through and my painting shows a Victorian-era Johnson goods engine, the last of which was not withdrawn from service until the 1960s. My painting also shows typical vehicles from the 1950s, all with local registration marks. The third shot shows the same location today (Google Street View, because when I visited the location last December it was pi55ing down).

This is true but Soulsby must be deeply concerned about the loss of two of Leicester's three MPs at the last election. Leicester East was arguably self-inflicted because having got rid of Vaz, the local party selected someone even worse. The Tories have not won that seat in my lifetime, if ever. But Jon Ashworth in Leicester South is well-respected and seems to have been a victim of tactical voting and a less than even-handed approach to the Israeli-Palestine conflict by the Labour leadership, which understandably annoyed Muslim voters.

Large passenger aircraft usually have three hydraulic systems and a back up source of power in case the principal power source fails. I do not know whether the flaps and landing gear are on the same hydraulic circuit. Even so, there is a further fail-safe measure because if, for example, the flaps are on Circuit A which fails, it is possible to switch to another circuit. It will be interesting to read what caused the disaster. The answer should not be too long because the black box was retrieved intact..

Not strictly a joke but children sometimes say the funniest things. I have read a book about a school inspector whose beat covered a huge area of the Scottish Highlands rather more than a century ago. A young girl from a sheep farming family had been taken to the zoo for the first time. The inspector asked her to tell the class what she thought about the zoo. She said she loved it and was really impressed that the zoo keepers had clipped the lion - brave souls indeed!

Another post which appeared in my Facebook page and I thought of passing it on here. The original text of the post - in Art Rooms. Stanier Jubilee No.45616 'Malta GC' passes Wigston Magna station (closed 1968) on the Midland main line by Rob Rowland

One of my brothers was at Lancaster Boys, and the Midland Main Line was in clear view from the school buildings. Train spotting was not an official part of the school curriculum but the school had more than its share of spotters!

I have never been a supporter of points deductions. There has to be some kind of control to stop clubs spending beyond their means and I think that a much fairer sanction would be to disallow clubs from promotion or, in the PL, competing in European competition, until the club has got its finances in order.

King is articulate and intelligent and I would like to see him as part of the set up. Not sure about the top job but definitely a better choice than Martin.

Picked up from my Facebook feed, a painting by Rob Rowland of a southbound train leaving Leicester Midland station, passing the junction to Ashby and Burton. An instantly recognisable spot, with Welford Road passing over the railway above the tree line at the top of the painting, although sadly the junction to the Ashby and Burton branch is not there any more. A later stablemate of the locomotive in the painting, No. 673, was preserved and used to be in the museum at the former tram terminus on London Road, near the junction with Shanklin Drive. I don't know where it is now but it apparently it hasn't been in operating condition for decades.

I had a maths teacher at school who said 'Piffle' every lesson. Decades later I have never once heard anyone else use that word. He had even written one of the maths textbooks we used, which were not permanently issued to us but given out at the beginning of the lesson where we would be using them. I opened mine at the given page and there was a fossilised cheese sandwich between the pages, which had been there so long the book had reformed around it so there was absolutely no clue about the unpleasant contents when it was handed to me!

My uncle was also a veteran of Monte Cassino. My father was too young. Joe was hit by gunfire and, walking wounded, went to the dressing station. He was checked over, the bullet wound dressed, and then he was discharged later. Decades later, in Canada, he had an operation and the doctor told him they had done an x-ray and found a bullet in his upper leg. Whoever attended to him failed to check whether there was an exit wound! I have a few stories about both world wars.

Can this thread run to 400 pages before he is given his P45?

Down to 13% now. Will be in single figures within the hour.

So where is this going to be held if just the two players and three punters turn up? Or is the club going to spin it by wheeling out people from the offices, the cleaners and groundsmen, and youth team players to sit on the empty chairs to make it look like more of an event?

A farmer in Zummerzet sees a bloke drinking from his stream and shouts, 'Wassup! Ee doan wanna be drinking dat, it's fulla' horse piss an' cow dung!' The man says 'I'm from London and I have just purchased a property in the village. Can you speak a bit more slowly, please?' The farmer replies 'If you use two hands you won't spill any!'

I took my suit to the cleaners, who wanted to charge £15. I gave my suit to the charity shop next door. They cleaned it and pressed it and put in their window. Next day I bought it for £4.50!

Philomena Cunk!

Should be cancelled as there is nobody worth it.
