Good point! I don't know if that's a problem in hockey - I guess it isn't... Anyone know???

Why not scrap the offside rule, like some other sports have done (notably hockey). ... at least trial it and see how it plays out.

But I did fall for this one... As an apprentice, walked into mess room in the middle of a conversation about a one-man band. Colleague says he heard an interview on the radio with someone who was a one-man band, but he couldn't understand how one man could play all those instruments. So of...

Apocryphal: "Can you go to the stores and get a bubble for my spirit level please" In my first Saturday job at a small builders' merchant (visualise the 4 candles sketch) - I thought I was being pranked when a colleague asked me to get him a length of 'birdmouth'. I told him I wasn't falling...

Absolutely. This follows two very tight semi-finals, remember. Worthing 89th minute winner. Braintree were 2-0 up against Chelmsford City until the 90th minute, when Chelmsford scored at 90 and 92 minutes. Hence ET.

This is purely my opinion..... Webster - good in general, but WAY too many misplaced passes (they'd be called unforced errors in tennis). Adingra - Great energy and making chances, but surely an AFCON winner should be able to strike the ball reasonably hard when shooting? Having said that, a...

I'm a very occasional visitor from Essex, but you've asked "who's going?" so I'll tell you! Yes, I'll be there with my teenage son, who will hopefully be doing some GSCE revision on the drive down rather than looking for Pokemons en-route). TBH I'm hoping that Villa will be resting some of...

All trades need the Alan Parsons Project Manager.

I can't think of any myself.... but this thread has REALLY cheered me up (which I need at the moment). Thank you all. :)

By all means alert you surveyor to anything you specifically want him/her to cover. But I shouldn't worry too much - surveyors love a damp-meter! He/she SHOULD also advise you of the consequences of what they find, but in my experience some do, some don't. If they don't, then ask them about...

Like you I get surprised that sellers don't reduce asking price a little at a time. But could be that they have found property that they desperately don't want to lose and therefore desperate to sell quickly. Reducing asking price to 300 rather than 325 brings in a whole new bunch of buyers...

I notice that all honourable mentions are for northern towns! Even Arsenal are NORTH London. Although 'northern' can be a relative term. When I was a young man I worked in Leeds and there was this lad from Leicestershire - From his accent I thought he was a Yorkshire local but the locals all...
