Great actor, been in loads of stuff. Somehow I can't see him greeting someone with "Ay'up me-duck!" -
We should allow more of the cheap Chinese EVs and not enforce tariffs. But at the same time start taking income from road pricing to cover resurfacing and maintaining the nation's roads.

I've missed the meltdowns here, but not in a good way...

We all probably know of the Attenboroughs, and Show-waddywaddy. But did you know about this pop pioneer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Woolley

Tunisgrad: Victory in Africa. Progressing slowly through this book and really enjoying it. Apparently more than 250,000 Axis troops surrendered, more than at Stalingrad. The invasion of North Africa took place two years before D-Day, yet few of us know anything about it. Already come across weird stuff, like British troops dressing in American uniforms so as not to upset French Vichy troops. Strange how there is so much yet to find out about WW2.

The Fairford suspects released on bail. No terror stuff after all. Probably just a bit of diesel smuggling.

We have large groups of Germans (mainly teenagers) marching through Hastings most days so far since August. Can't see what they're getting from it, maybe they're just hunting for decent fish n chips?

Manchester City Found Guilty Of Almost All Charges

I suspect there will be the odd club interested in signing the goal-hanger. -
Linekers Uno - a book. Can you help?
SkidsFox replied to Linekers Uno's topic in General Football and Sport
You may be onto something with this subject. Try other fans forums as there may be other car related gems. Also try contacting other writers in football (may have to restrict yourself to Leicester links). Here's an example, Andy Wells at https://www.conkereditions.co.uk/product/getshirty/ (a great read btw) -
In the long term AB will be very dangerous. If he wins the first election I don't see any viable opposition politicians who can compete. He's in a league of his own.

I think Nige is too associated now with a dodgy spiv/Arfur Daley persona. But there is still a large minority of folk who've been brainwashed into believing things can be a lot better if we persecute certain groups, whether it be refugees or Pip claimants or shopkeepers or travellers.

Robert Goddard has a huge list of novels. His latest ones probably don't hit the height of his early works, but still enjoyable. I recently read Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett and really ate it up. It gets a lot of plaudits, rightly so.

What's your take on the spy books, Our Man in Havana (G Greene) and The Spy Who came in from the cold (Le Carre)?

JV to Burnley.

A lot of sinners here. Since our club ended up being coached by Cooper, van Nistelrooy etc.

Any Ludwig fans? Enjoying the second series so far.

Will you watch the Bundesliga on Vardy's Youtube channel?

Fuchs was probably a good choice as guest -

It seems worth a punt (for our GOAT). If it takes off he's identified a nice potential income stream. If it doesn't all he's lost is a few Friday evenings watching Krautfootie (ok, it's more involved than that, but it's hardly lumping bricks around in the freezing rain). -
Tommy Watson joins on season loan from Brighton - Official

Obviously been eclipsed by that wonder find James Justin. -
Could have been a depressing weekend, but saved by the likes of Forest, Coventry, Spurs and Man U.

Leicester transfers that thankfully never happened

That Isco fella. Hang on, he may have been ok? -
That’s great thanks. I do know Spain well, but not been there often in last few years, so good to hear what la luz and el tinto costs now. I imagine parking is still a fraction of uk equivalent too. Saludos!
