We're in pretty good health but as we get older (we're mid-60s), I get more concerned about NHS waiting lists and what the consequences might be for my wife and me. We're now seriously thinking about signing up for private medical insurance. Does anyone have any strong recommendations, either...

Ah. "Top-tier competitions will be excluded from initial testing in the professional game in case the protocols require further refinement, but elite trials could still begin as soon as...
For the first time ever I tried - and succeeded - abstaining from alcohol through January this year. Result? I feel a lot better for it, healthier and more clear headed, so have decided to continue with it through February. After that? Who knows, it could become permanent. Anyone else in this...
Is it just a quirk of fate that we've conceded goals in every Premier League game we've played since Arsenal away in May, but have managed to keep clean sheets in our last 4 Europa League games? Is there a logical reason for this? It's perplexing me.
Anyone watching? The TV coverage so far is focusing solely on the pitched battles in the stands. Police wading in with batons. Utterly mad.
Looks like Argentina, led by Messi, are now walking off. They look scared. Yep, they’ve been driven back to the dressing rooms as the fighting continues.
I'm parked in the Bridge car park for the first time today. Booked it as I need to get back home sharpish for a family occasion. It's bigger than I thought, and am now concerned about getting away on time. To any Bridgeheads out there -- doi have to leave before the final whistle to be sure of...
I just had a mail from a mate asking if I fancied going round to his on Thursday to watch the game. "Get round here by 7.30" he said. He was pretty shocked when I told him it was a 17:45 kick-off, so I thought it worth mentioning here in case some others hadn't realised.
Am I going nuys? I used to be able to revisit a post and correct embarrassing typos, or add an update. But I no longer see this option. What's happened?
Does anyone know if American Express Lounge ticket holders can invite a mere season ticket holder (me) into the lounge AFTER the game for a coffee/drink? I want to meet up with an ex-colleague for an hour or so and would prefer us to be able to do so there rather than on a windy concourse or in...
Does anyone have a particular personal hope for the Europa League draw? On one level I'd like a nice easy draw but on another, I'd love the excuse to visit certain places for personal reasons. I worked for a few years in Germany and Switzerland and have friends in both countries. In particular...
Since retiring and moving back to the south coast a couple of years ago I’ve been to most home matches but for the new season have decided to get a season ticket again. I’m one of those people who tries to get away on the stroke of full time to get the park and ride bus or to try to avoid the...
