I was wondering where this was going when I started to read it, was it a field surrounded by trees or no trees or just plain arable one that you wished had more trees on it.

Disgraceful that club rivalry was allowed to seep into the squad. Anyone displaying that should have been kicked out no matter how good a player. Was it just the players or were the club managers feeding the poison beforehand 

Definitely club managers. I recently saw Gary Neville tell a story where Alex Ferguson had told him to basically try and talk Steven Gerrard to sign for Man Utd. World Cup 2006 I think it was.

Well Alex Ferguson certainly wouldn't give a monkeys about England squad morale

Bought 6 x 100l bags of bark chippings from Wickes for a little landscaping project. Pulled the trolley over to the car, and started unloading them into the boot.

 

Having loaded 4 of the 6 bags, an old woman walks over to me (must be in her late 70's/early 80's) and she says:

 

"Do you need some help my love? I can see you're struggling. I'm not very strong myself but you look like you could do with another pair of hands"

 

So between me and the old dear, we load the remaining bags into my car.

 

I mean bless her but fvck me, if there was ever a sign I need to hit the gym hard, this was it.

Nothings changed.

 

Still great, so long as you know what to expect (very little)

 

We go for the kids, they love it!

Last time I was there I had a brooding feeling that something wasn't quite normal, then I twigged - everyone was white.

 

To be honest, and my parents have a caravan further up the Lincs coast, the whole of Lincs looks like someone has been going round with the whitewash.

One thing has changed. The camel racing game in the main arcade has gone. That was literally the best thing about Skegness. Other than that it's the usual absolute dive.

A few years ago, I stepped out from a building and started to put my coat on. It was quite windy and it took me 3 or 4 attempts to 'swing' it around so I could put my other arm in.

A fella aged in his 20s I guess, witnessing my struggles came up to me and asked if I needed any help.

He meant well but crikey, I was only in my 50s at the time and nearly said pi$$ off you cheeky sod.

I'm only in my 50s and struggle to put a coat on after breaking my shoulder 11 months ago

 

If anyone would like to help, that's fine.

Always been strange to me how insistent we are in this country that you have to pick between wanting success for club or country, I’d love to know if that attitude is the same elsewhere across the globe. Just really strange over here how much people want to tell you their club over country and would always pick up club success over country. I personally want success for both England and City

So do I but forced to choose opt for club first

My boss asked me if I was going to get all my work done today.

 

I told him it's not in my DNA.

I hate the whitewashing that happens when a public figure who was objectively an awful human dies. Fair enough, if you think people celebrating their death is in poor taste, I'd be inclined to agree. However, don't try and tell me that we should be paying our respects to Lindsey Graham. He was an absolute monster.

I know he had a sex tape scandal but I loved him as Dirty Den. Fort Boyard was good Friday evening viewing too

Similar with Anne Widdicome. Horrible thing to happen to someone that I wouldn't wish on any one. 

 

That doesn't mean I'll forget her horrendous views on gay people and pregnant prisoners though.
