    Was having a bit crack with some of the Mags at work today, I work with mix, anyway, a few of them asked me if what I thought of the result yesterday, naturally I answered with "Any win away is a great result, especially at Stamford Bridge". one of the older Mags supporters said "You know what it is, there's next to no crack between us and the Mackems anymore. I said it's down to the takeover, when the Saudis came in, alot of Lads fans I know no longer give the same amount of ****s as we used to. There's always going to be the people that "f**kin hate them me", but has anyone else stopped caring what they get up to? 9 times out of 10 I expect them to win, where before I'd have a chuckle when they lost to Bournemouth or someone. I'm probably in the minority, but I just don't give a **** about them as much as I used to.

    you could flog that mate, very bespoke. something like that in some "yar yar yar darling yar"yuppy shop in London would go for 600 quid because some one would "Simply have to have it darling".

    I'll say this mate, and hopefully not, but routers inside thick wooden units like that balls the WiFi signal up. Lass from Sky told me years ago.

    I was thinking of moving it just so she could put a couple of nik naks/ornaments in the two end bits.
    We live in a bungalow, so the WiFi hasn't got far to travel. As long as my iptv is working fine, I'm happy. <cheers>

    No bother mate, as long as she's happy. Just incase your Internet goes **** and you're not sure why, that could be a reason. We have a very similar style stand that you've made, but got from Market place foe a tenner, sanded back and painted a light grey with new knobs on the doors (we have doors) and I've put my router behind the telly. Have you always been handy making stuff like that?

    I've never tried to make owt like that before.
    I kind of knew what we wanted, but didn't fancy paying the daft prices some shops were asking.
    I seen a one on marketplace I liked the look of, and just thought, I reckon i could make that....it was just scaffold boards.
    Scribbled a rough sketch and dimensions on a bit paper, and went from there.
    It came out better than I expected it to tbh....I'm chuffed with it.

    Looks a good solid job. No worries about the weight of whatever you put on it. Well done Snaggey. I’m hopeless at woodworking.

    Canadian parliament invites 98 year old Ukranian WWII veteran to be celebrated and applauded when Zelensky visited.

    A lovely gesture. Until you realise that you didn't check which side he fought for.

    Which turned out to be the 14th Grenadier Waffen SS.

    I've was told to keep the router out of units and off windowsills. The signal goes out the window. Let me know if it gets any better.
