    Why are burgers round, burger buns round and tomatoes round ...

    Sorry lads but another update about my Grandson and his pathway in Refereeing.
    I've just got back from holiday to find out not only has he had his promotion to level 6 been confirmed but he's been selected to go early next month to Man Utd Carrington Centre to undergo a one day trial along with other young Refs and if he passes Westmoreland FA will send him to St George's Park to take part in a four day session run by Warwick University as part of an enhanced route on his Refereeing career.
    Westmoreland are obviously keeping a keen eye on him and his next step is in his own hands.
    To say this has topped our week is an understatement, he's taking charge of a Cup Final to bring this season to a close on Sunday, Proud doesn't touch it really, hope he takes it in his stride. Can't believe he's just turned 17.

    Keep posting mate, it's great to see ...

    ... in fact, I think it is worth a new thread, not everyone looks on here.

    Brilliant that mate, and I agree with @Smug in Boots...it is worth a new thread.
    "Very Proud Grandad" would sound appropriate.

    Hope we get plenty of notice, looks like it could be good.

    "There is good news for anyone who enjoyed the show-stopping aurora borealis last weekend - or missed it: there are almost certainly more on the way.

    The huge sunspot cluster that hurled energy and gas towards Earth will rotate back towards us in around two weeks.

    Scientists say it will probably still be large and complex enough to generate more explosions that could hit Earth’s magnetic field, creating more Northern Lights.

    Since last Saturday, the Sun has continued pumping out increased radiation - a huge solar flare on Tuesday disrupted high-frequency radio communications globally."

    And this hyperactive sunspot won’t be the last. The Sun is approaching what is called "solar maximum" - a point during an 11-year cycle when its activity is strongest.

    I never know for sure mate, I've had so many stalkers over the years I've lost track.

    Like Prehab I still have people obsessed with me, on RTG, after three years of not going on there <laugh>

    Acquired a bass guitar and amp yesterday for a price that was hard to turn down.
    It was a bit grimy, but played well.....really well. Only thing i didnt like was it was a bit too black & white for my liking.

    Spent last night stripping it all down, polished the frets and fretboard, polished the body, cleaned the chrome hardware.
    Took the white pickguard off and put a matt black vinyl wrap on it (dc-fix vinyl, £8 a roll from b&q).
    Put it all back together, new set of strings, and we'll pleased with how it came out.

    Now to learn how to play the thing.

    Couple of before and after pics.
