Morning Jon.

Guess who really wasn't awake when they un-set the intruder alarm this morning?

Proof the living dead walk among us!

PS, do you think @Accy cyclist would approve of my cardie?

One thing I have noticed here in North Devon. Very few dog walkers say hello when you walk your dog . In North Wales, every dog walker acknowledge each other.

Josey Wales. One of my favourite films

Great film. His co star played a good part as well, as did Strother whatsit.

Good morning. Dark. I feel like shite.......and it's going to get worse...........I have to go to Ewood this afternoon. 🤣🤣

We have three granddaughters. #1 and #3 love a sleepover, so do we. Great fun. #2 is here on a sleepover, that's not so great. She knows mum and dad aren't around. At bedtime there was a lot of inconsolable screaming for Daddy. She eventually exhausted herself and fell asleep sitting up at 11.20pm. At 5.10am she woke, screaming for Daddy. Consequently Granddad feels totally nackered.

On the plus side she's a gorgeous little thing and I love that when she's sad she trusts me enough to bury herself on Granddad's chest. 🥰

The BR fan spokesman was on tv yesterday. He's trying to get the fans to ban boycott today's game.

I can't rely on my wife to help with the driving as she will only drive locally and refuses point blank to drive on the motorway , so anywhere further than 10 miles from home, I must drive.

I was fortunate in that my wife was a good driver and I felt relaxed with her at the wheel. She even passed he "pass plus" test which is more than I did.

I've never particularly liked driving, which is ironic as in very good at it and have the class 1 ticket to prove it.

Conversely, I used to love riding motorbikes but was pretty hopeless at it and failed the course, although I managed to get my off road ticket so could ponce about on the DR350's.

When i worked in the Shell group I took a Police Defencive Driving course, it was very good.
I failed my motorbike test and stupidly didn't bother again.

Yet another good reason to not be on Felchbook.

It can be useful (if you use it carefully).
My daughter gets good leads for her reflexology business and just this week I asked for recommendations for a decorator. Got about 12 and 3 of them recommended the same guy.
But it is full of crap.

Do you want chapter and verse? I haven't heard much of the current boycott movement which demonstrates how poorly it has been promoted. Largely they preach to the converted.

I have direct, personal abusive experience of previous methods employed by similar movements. Last time the tactics employed were deeply offensive. Fans like me who continue to attend are viewed with utter contempt.

Do you know what an ACV is? Anfield used to be, perhaps still is, covered by one. Ewood Park has been covered by an ACV for 10 years. Guess who single-handedly obtained that?

I've been there, done it and got the T-shirt.
