Hello from Stoke on Trent - who turned the heating off?

Booked into the hotel, went into my room and all I could hear was running water and thought someone had left the taps running. Nope, it was the toilet - the flush button was stuck in and the tank was continually emptying into the bowl which wasn't a problem at the time, but no proper flush tomorrow morning could be! As a result I've had to be moved to a different room which also came with 4 large pieces of chocolate and extra coffee. Heading off to the Sugarmill shortly to see Billy Nomates and imbibe in a few 🍺🍺🍺

The off-side rule - who knows it in detail. I thought it was the player that kicked the ball into goal that needed to have defenders between him and the goal. How can someone be off-side and a goal disallowed, if someone was off-side when they passed the ball to the person who passed it to the goal scorer?

If you're talking about the disallowed Brazil goal, it's also about player who provided the assist.

In this case, he touched the ball coming back from an offside position, ergo he is deemed to have interfered with the play, even if the player who put the ball in the net was well onside.

Old Hall?

I didn't know Oulton Park sold teapots

It was absolutely delicious with brown sauce, yum!

Why spoil good cheese & potato pie with brown sauce?

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

My granddaughter is an FA referee. One of her football team coaches is a linesman in Qatar and my nephew is in Qatar for 5 weeks as a commentator for the FA and others.

I hope they all know the offside rules

Oh that's not nice must be hard for her at times ?
In MND put simply the problem is the body attacks the outer protective coating on the neurons they becomes damaged.
Then become frayed and stop working in turn meaning muscles stop working.

Yes, getting some doctors to believe that she has it . It was an eye specialist at the hospital who first diagnosed it . Other doctors say that she is from the wrong ethnic background .

Just found the time to watch this through. Very instructive. Often we will get a turkey crown because we don't have so many coming for Christmas Day in recent years. We have a crowd coming this year I'm happy to say, so it will be a big bird for us.

Armed with this knowledge I feel I could tackle an ostrich if need be.

good. I even wore gloves like the chef. glad I did, it was all pretty oily. also give yourself some elbow room & a large wooden cutting board, I used our pizza "peel"

so I took the bird out of the oven & let it sit for 30-45 minutes
took the bird out of the roasting pan & put it on the wooden board
put the roasting pan outside after I dealt with the drippings (I added some to the packaged gravy mix McCormacks, 2 packs)
set up a large oven roasting dish, the glass one you see, for the cut meat for ppl to choose from
set up a large bowl for anything not being served, like the wings, so Wifey could make soup w/ it
carved the turkey
broke down the bird so it would fit in another container so Wifey could make soup w/ it
covered the carved meat w/ tin foil & set on oven top
when it was time to eat, or just before we put whatever needed heating into the oven for a good 20 minutes. I don't care for cold turkey
so one needs counter space & several containers. don't cheat yourself

[Gwylan]

Just had a phone call from Halfords! I'm 2 billionth in a queue or something like that . They have sent me an email ! I don't do emails !

Why couldn't they just have said . "Oi! Your thing is ready for collecting ! "

Don't worry it's all a , bu&&er forgotten the word. Oh yes, scam.

Google will be offering you the same item for the rest of the week. Or, God save us, the rest of the Black Friday Hole that encompasses us until Christmas.
Have Argos announced that they will deliver Christmas morning, yet?

Vorsprung Durch Technik, don'cher know.

That's Audi, not exactly VW. No capital "d" though. Me, a pedant, perish the thought.

Two things,
You headed further north as the fog has returned round these parts.
*Never heard of them.
