    Indeed. You come home all unsuspecting and there, hiding in the bushes is a Not606er! Claims he was visiting "a mate" and it was coincidence I turned up while he was there.

    Oh god, he's not on that is he?

    I haven't quite forgiven Johnny Rotten for going on it, but at least he needed the money. Bridger can't be skint can he? Not after all those years at Chelsea.

    A huge % of ex-players go bankrupt after the end of their playing days....combination of too much money with too little sense....often combined with bad habits such as drinking and gambling.

    Black Friday, anyone?

    By JOSIE CLARKE
    WITH only nine days until Black Friday, bargain hunters are being warned prices on the day may not be the cheapest.

    Consumer champion Which? found 49% of last year’s offers were cheaper before or after the event. The Black Friday price was the cheapest in just 8% of deals. About 38% were cheaper in the weeks afterwards.

    Pete Moorey, Which? head of campaigns, said: “If you’re thinking about starting your Christmas shopping around Black Friday, do your research as some ‘deals’ may not be all they’re cracked up to be.”

    But retailers insisted they were committed to giving customers the best deals.

    Black Friday is an import from the US, where it is the day after Thanksgiving and traditionally when shops launch pre-Christmas sales.

    No thanks. Avoid the shops at all costs as they are full of people completely losing it for a £10 reduction. Madness.

    Apparently 50 is a special age to reach, and in light of my reaching this milestone a few days ago, my wife has booked for us to go to River Cottage for a bit of grub - has anybody been there, and if so, was it any good? Thanx :emoticon-0100-smile

    Not been to River Cottage but I have been 50. I strongly recommend it; it's one of the better ones. I reached a personal best of days lived in that year.

    I knew I should have checked what I wrote to see if it was in anyway vague or ambiguous just in case you were lurking, ready to pounce <applause>.​

    A few threads coming together in The Missing. Not a programme you want to join half way through....especially now the French policeman has shaved his head in 2015, so looks like he does in 2016. <laugh>

    That was short and sweet. Was going to walk to the gym when the heavens opened....so it's the pub later instead. <laugh>

    Did you intend to go into the gym, or just walk to it? :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Two days a week I walk a mile to the gym and do an hours class for heart patients....I am a gym bunny compared to most there. :) I chickened out too soon....if I hadn't changed arrangements, I could probably have gone.

    That's what happens when you piss St Helen off by making her miss a trip to the Old Farmhouse.
