  1. Burnley hung in, great win for them. Nerves towards the end though, hard for the smaller teams to shake the big team mentality..
  2. People's opinion after you've made a decision, that kept quiet when you asked them for input before you made it. Usually the wife like.
  3. Last Friday, the wife was flying out to meet me at work with our 2yo, gets to the airport only to find our daughter has doodled on her passport photo with a Biro. So they wouldn't let her fly. She had to go to the embassy in London to get a replacement. We get her another flight; she goes to the airport, feels sick and misses her flight. Luckily they book her on the next day as they can see she is pregnant. She should finally get here tonight. Probably paid for the taxi drivers next holiday!

    Quite, Barwell primary has been outstanding for years. It's not just one visit. Unless you know all the kids that attend those schools your just making assumptions. If your budget places you in the slums then I suppose you've got to decide which is the better slum.

    Well the idea is that we don't put them all together and generate slum areas, those areas can be a problem not only to the immediate area but are wider reaching. I do agree to a point, but I understand both sides. House builders will generally agree to the quota then negotiate it down anyway, councils have targets to meet so cave in easily, builders get more profit that way. Generally, you might find the houses at the front of the estate are a bit better than the last ones. Where cost and schedule got tighter! Don't discount all new builds. Mine is 2008, on a plot of 3 built to a very high standard by an independent. But yes, the larger companies may cut corners due to budget and schedule. Personally, I don't like the parking arrangements on the bigger estates for one. There's some good planning points and conflicting ones, but the policy's, local and national are open to interpretation and bent towards the councils targets anyway. It's a cut throat business.

    You actually might want to check the school's out before you assume that. You will be surprised. Primary schools Barwell are rated outstanding (1) or good (2). Burbage schools are 2 and 3. Shilton are 2 and 3. So much for Burbage. https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/find-a-school-in-england-beta?radius=5&schoollevel=IsPrimary&searchtype=search-by-location&keywords=Barwell&LocationCoordinates=&selectionState=0%2C0%2C0%2C0&orderby=&tab=map
  7. Great signing this, dangerous in the box and solid at the back. Great way to kick off our 1st team transfers. Who's next rudders.
  8. Jesus, is there some unknown rule that England teams aren't allowed to play attacking football. I feel tired watching it.
  9. Driving season is back, dust off the classics and get your roofs down. Anyone got anything interesting! Hopefully get a few track days and weekends in the westy this year!
  10. Haha, paid 4k, '93. All 2 strokes need a top end rebuild every 10k or so just because of the way a 2 stroke crank induction engine works. They really give the rings a hammering across the transfer ports. However, plenty of parts are still available for these unlike the KR1S. 2 strokes are going up now, like any decent classic with it's salt. We'll never see the likes again due to emissions.
  11. Just bought this: UK bike, got all the genuine parts aswell. So many badly stickered up Lucky Strike and Pepsi bikes. Wanted something with the correct fairing for year. Will only go up now.
  12. Andy Townsend has got better, he's on supersport 3 and has become much more impartial, I can't figure out who he supports anyway.
  13. At least that's what it says on his birth certificate. Didn't he fail an MRI to compete with the U17s. Nigerian birth certificate can say what it wants.
  14. Awesome to read Kante not doing so well: http://chelseafan12.com/blog/2016/10/13/redknapp-ngolo-kante-struggling-at-chelsea/
  15. Wrong thread!

  18. Already made a few posts, was a regular supporter in the Brian Little days, moved away for a long time then returned home to Leics two years back. Though currently overseas working at the moment, enjoying the frustrations of the usual big name supporters!
