NFL player Colin Kaepernick started the current trend in 2016. It caught on with a lot of other players. Some teams made different gestures like linking arms. The big difference was they knelt during the pre-game national anthem. It was to highlight injustice and inequality. He claimed he knelt...

A little top up of lost EPO and off you go.

Best team usually wins. England are playing well. We have a good squad. Haven’t let a goal in yet Rated way above Ukraine. Tournament football often throws up surprises. You always need a bit of luck along the way.

The difference between all the drivers in the same cars is probably hundredths of a second difference per lap. Vestappen said he’d be a tenth quicker than Hamilton! A hungry youngster like Russell is unlikely to have the same fear as a driver who’s done it all and coming to the end of a...

All the 'rules' were ignored once inside. No one would stop me hugging at a funeral.

I agree. It's not fair and it's not logical. To get into the stadium you needed evidence from NHS of double *** or a negative lateral flow test within last 48 hours. Token effort with enforcing masks and using alternate seats. Don't know who could police this at funerals. We can't let our...

I went to the game with my daughter, grandson and one of my sons. We had a fantastic, memorable day. I tend to avoid the more raucous fans when following England in tournaments. They do make me cringe sometimes. The National anthem booing, the jingoistic songs, etc. Yesterday, under a bit of...

Tennis fans should be happy with TV coverage yesterday. 10 hours on BBC2 and over 5 hours on BBC1 at the same time. That's a good reason for a moan. Off to Wembley today so don't care how many hours of sport are on TV. If England win I'll probably watch it again on TV ;)

Same for me. Loved playing social cricket and enjoy watching England 🏏 Never got into watching county cricket though other than the occasional 20/20 thrash. Having played and occasionally faced a good bowler you appreciate the vast difference between the club player and the pro. Individual...

She'll get more than the 15 minutes of fame she was after, when they track her down.

Same with art 🖼 Why visit a gallery to admire the skill of painters when I can draw stick men and a house at home. Same with music. Why watch you favourite band when you can tap out a rhythm at home with your foot 🦶🏾

Not sure if they’ve cut back on programme production. Had an hour each of Corrie and Emmerdale recently (I don’t watch them) BBC usually have comprehensive Olympic coverage - must be more hours than footie. Rugby World Cup will surely get coverage of every game but nowhere near as popular as...

Good quote in its time perhaps, but not sure it has aged well. Motor racing is far far safer today and always down to having the best equipment. Bullfighting is somewhat one sided. How many bulls win? Mountaineering - with enough money and decent fitness you can climb Everest.

There is undoubtedly a very small number of troublemakers at most football clubs and typically the same people that follow England to tournaments. They are a tiny but vociferous minority. Sadly you’re unfairly tarring all supporters with the same brush. I’ve followed England to tournaments...

Bit like F1 - far better (and cheaper) viewed on TV

I can understand how TV Soap and and Quiz programme addicts might feel aggrieved with their viewing plans being disrupted. Viewing habits have changed and a lot of people use streaming services or watch recording at a time that suits them. It is the national sport. It used to be the working...

Lordship Chairs. Pricey but good quality. Not as good as the ones in this thread though! Shed is finished in Sansin SDF (Saturated) - Baltic Blue. Really impressive (but expensive) product. Loads of colours and different levels of transparency. Ironically I've clad the shed in Siberian Larch...

Mine are made of Siberian Larch. Birthday present from the wife for the newly built shed/shack. I didn't make them.

I use AJ Bell for a small SIPP and for a couple ofISAs. Easy to use website and a good range of funds. Fees seem reasonable. SIPP drawn down is straightforward and efficient. Wife has a Standard Life SIPP which seems a lot more complicated. We’ve stuck with the IFA who transferred her DB...

Nailed to the rafters. I haven't put soffits in to maximse airflow. I glued bits of OSB topped with mesh to fill gaps between rafters and to hold the insulation in. Drilled holes in rafter noggins so there is airflow between top of insulation and the underside of the roofing OSB
