Stoke have the meanest home defence in the league and we've one of the worst away defences in the league. Away banker
New approach today, I will be watching my boy play rugby, will only listen on the wireless if its chucking down and I retreat to the car. Have finally admitted to myself that I can't do live streams or even live on Sky unless I'm in a pub, the attention span is no longer there. We'll score a hatful and I'll enjoy MOTD.
If i can't make the game We normally head up sweeneys or the bell is ruislip, wall to wall rangers and show every home and away game
I'll bear it in mind mate, bit of a drive from Leamington Spa though. Haven't been to Ruislip for decades, though I spent most of my youth growing up down the road in Harrow Weald/Pinner. But never really knew the boozers round there because I spent most of my time from about 14 onwards hanging around in Hammersmith, Notting Hill/Ladbroke Grove and Covent Garden, all well before they got tarted up, because of the live music in the pubs and clubs back in the mid 70s. Pub rock, punk and reggae sound systems, I'm getting all nostalgic.
Small world mate, I was brought up in ladbroke grove, trellick tower then just off du cane road. Nice area. You find a lots of people who used to live up that way moved out to the northolt, ruislip and eastcote area,a bloke in a pub down there once told me it was deemed a step up (whatever the fcuk that means !!)
Absolutely - my family started drifting west about 80 years ago, when they built the Met line - I was born NW10 and ended up in Harrow. But before my grandfather shifted my fathers line of the family were all born and lived in Clerkenwell/islington/Aldersgate from at least the early 1700s. Thank god they went west rather than east to Essex, though I suppose I should really be a Gooner with this heritage. Close shave....though my Mum's lot were all Marylebone/Paddington, which is more like it. As you can tell I found an excellent App which takes all the tedium out of family tree research and have been playing with it a bit.....
You're an ipad man aren't you? Just go to ancestry.co.uk on safari and it gives you the option of downloading the (free) app. You'll have a free trial period for searching, then £12 for a month access to the enormous data base. Make sure you have some free time because its addictive. Also if you have full names and rough birth dates of a couple of direct ancestors alive in 1911 (latest census made public) it all flows from there. I had a couple of days off last week and just about cracked it as far as I reckon I can get - mind you. I'm lucky as 3 out of 4 of my grandparents had quite unusual surnames, which narrows down searches.
