    Here’s a clip of a football match between Uganda and Wycombe Wanderers in the 1950s at Loakes Park in Britain.

    By half time, we were winning by 7 goals. The match ended 10-1.

    I remember when I bought my first home; a brand new 3 bed linked home (terrace I called it) on a salary of £625pa. and dreaming of a £1,000 salary. How times have changed
    I was there. Just look at that crowd for an amateur side. Probably more than we get now

    Where does she think Tomato seeds come from then? I have a mate who usually brings on a couple of plants for my missus because she likes to grow stuff. Always tastes better when you do that. About a week before delivery of the plants the World got shut down so we didn't get them. Undeterred I got a Tomato, cut it in half and took the seeds out of the middle of that. Dried them a bit on a tissue and stuck them in a few pots of peat to see what would happen. I now have around 20 tomato plants on their way to growing. A bit late maybe but growing nonetheless. Our runner beans are from last years growth and so are the broad beans. You don't need a garden centre.

    Our opinion is chuck it in a pot and see what happens. That applies to virtually everything. I have no idea about gardening and what plant is called what. My father was a professional gardener and people who live around me now knew him well enough. He even did their gardens when he retired officially. They think I'm him and often ask me some weird and wonderful question about some strange plant. How do you grow this or that. My answer is the same every time. Chuck it in a pot and see what happens. What have you got to lose. Most things seem to grow. Lets face it nature doesn't do sowing seeds in pots does it and there is no shortage of plants everywhere.

    Apart from being bored ****less and doing jobs I'd successfully put off for ages I'd say fine. I have seen some of the family from time to time even if it's over the garden wall. I've still done some shopping for us and have managed to get pretty much all we have wanted. I always manage a couple of bottles of plonk somewhere along the line. It's raining today though so that means not being outside. There is definitely a different feel to the day and I think we have this for the rest of the week. I do suddenly feel older but that might be because it was my birthday yesterday and I am. Last year I went to a pub for a meal with all of my lot and had a bop at the disco night they had. This year I sat in my front room and did feck all (except open a bottle of course).

    I really do think the title of this thread is appropriate though. I genuinely have to think what day it is most days when I wake up. Keep safe everyone and fingers crossed we will still be chatting next season. If they have a season that is................

    I went into a caravan showroom the other day and said to the salesman:

    "I'd like to buy a motorhome."

    He said "Camper?"

    I said "Oooo, get you, I'd like to buy a motorhome, sweety."
