Agreed he didn’t comment on WD comment But ,
He reposted all the original comments . Then commented about WD actions more than once .
I have re read the whole thread and and am comfortable that my comments have been even handed and with both parties best interests at heart.
My last comment will be to totally agree with Mo’s comment ( posted at 18.23) that’s totally sums the whole situation much better than I ever could . 😀

The last time I watched (or played) football was 1966. IIRC, there was something a bit unusual about that year...
(I moved on after that to a school where rugby was played and football was not.)
At the time, I thought that football was really quick and exciting but when you look back at that World Cup now, those heavy footballs moved at half the speed that modern ones do, and were much less 'bendable'.
Yes!Ever headed one when it's been raining during the match?

Concussion risks to footballers back then must have been even worse than they are now.
Well good morning to everyone on here.
Now here's a thing.........
Early to bed
Early to rise
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
What a crock of sh*t that is
.
I was in bed AND asleep VERY early last night. The result being I was wide awake and up at 0430.
I have a headache.
My bank balance, strangely, has not altered
I am no wiser........
So what's all that about ?
Oh yes..... I have just found out I walked in some dog poo yesterday.....so that needs sorting out.
Ah well, such is life

Like Airwolf in pursuit of bad guys, I have risen!
Good morning fellow retirees, from a Travelodge overlooking a wet carpark somewhere on the outskirts of Brum. I’ve just trawled through the comments and am up to date. Yesterday was rather splendid. Spent some quality time with my sister and brother, I was concerned that he might not recognise me but we had a great natter.
I walked the streets that I’d walked as a child and as a young man, the distance to school that had seemed huge as a child was in fact quite short. As I stood looking at the pub that had once been my local, and trying to remember it’s original name, a gentleman on a bicycle paused to cross the road. I asked if he was local, and he was. He told me the name of the pub and we got talking, it turns out that he lived in the next road to me when growing up, and remembered our family well. We had a good natter, he brought me up to date with events, and we both went on our way laughing about old times.
Time to get organised for my train journey back to Poole later this morning.
Stay safe folks 👍

Good morning from a damp Coventry, I cut the grass last night, I recon I'll be doing it again in a few days with the rain we've had over night, at least my water butt will have had a top up.

Good morning. Cloudy, dull but warm. No rain and I would like some for the allotment please.
Today is lots and lots of small stuff. Ironing first and then a million odds and sods to do.
This is our experience of Covid-19 information. It may explain why some people do not self-isolate and perhaps partly account for continued transmission.
I like to think we are intelligent people. Mrs P was a highly skilled and qualified health professional.
No 1 son and his partner have tested positive and are self-isolating. We haven't seen his partner in weeks so she doesn't come in to the equation for us.
I saw and rode with No 1 son last Wednesday, he came into the house and saw his mother, no physical contact, symptoms started on Monday and got his test result yesterday.
Last night Mrs P felt we should get tested and began working backwards about the likelihood of us being infected. My initial reading gave me to understand even if we test negative we must isolate for ten days. We had a long discussion about this last night. Mrs P trying to work out the possibilities based on time, me saying you're not qualified to make this judgement and we must follow the guidance. We agreed to check again in the morning.
I fully admit I don't want to isolate but would if I have to. It took 45 minutes to understand we do NOT need to test or isolate. If we did have to do this the isolation period would have been from the last contact, Wednesday, and would have ended on Saturday night.
I reckon it's taken two intelligent people two hours to work out what we should do. Is it any wonder folk are confused or do the wrong thing?

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good morning. My ears have been burning and I wondered why. I have not flounced. If I do that I will ask Drago the best way to do that, or I might just remember the veritable book that was once written when the biggest flounce of all took place.
I have not read most of the posts, but I have read what Mo said and agree with her. I am far too old to be told off by someone for what was a light hearted comment. This was supposed to be a light hearted thread but over the last few months that light heartedness has slowly disappeared , and clearly my attempts at jokes has fallen well short. I have no idea why it's happened, maybe Covid19 had played a part and because you lot have not been able to get out you have become more miserable ( a joke by the way ) I felt I had to point that out.
The comment the other day was it for me. I am still on CC and posting but I will leave you old farts to carry on .
Enjoy you're day

Good morning all.
After last nights rain, it is a bit sticky this morning.
The garden will benefit from the rain, more is forecast for tomorrow, but so will the slugs and snails.
A bimble out on the bike later on for some essentials is the order of the day.
Peace and love everyone

Dementia and Parkinson's is apparently not uncommon among ex footballers. It is believed this is due to heading the ball and I think in school football heading is not allowed for this reason. Parkinson's is a destruction of the brain cells so this would appear to make sense.The last time I watched (or played) football was 1966. IIRC, there was something a bit unusual about that year...
(I moved on after that to a school where rugby was played and football was not.)

Yes!

Morning all
@welsh dragon we need you in here to counterbalance @Dave7 - it's a Yin and Yan thing.
I reckon everyone, apart from me - obviously, is going stir crazy due to this lockdown and it's extension.
We're off to look at a Roman villa this morning and then on to the Carpenters Arms for lunch.
The weather has broken and we have an overcast sky with showers - seems to reflect some member's current disposition.

I know there have been some high profile cases of ex professional footballers who would of played with the old style leather balls, but as yet there seems to be no research done to show if the numbers are higher than in the general population.
It would be interesting if and when any research is done, in this area.
