    Out of nowhere, while doing the washing up

    This came unbidden into my head, while washing up, and I started singing. The mind is a wonderful, if ultimately meaningless, thing. Won’t cost you an arm and a leg either.

    Stupid Question

    Downloaded two tickets for next Saturday onto my phone, instead of distributing one to friends etc. Will two on the one phone be a nuisance getting in? Thanks.

    Seat reservations on trains UK

    Traveled down from Sheffield to St Pancras today on a busy train with a pass but no seats reserved. Seats presented as reserved were often not taken. We’ve experienced this before. Is this normal? My wife (American) kept saying it doesn’t make any sense. I was personally humiliated on behalf of...

    Of Engelond, to Caunterbury we wende (NG/G)

    Woke up this morning to a welcome email telling us our purchase of a small flat in Canterbury was finally complete. Left in 1979 on a four year adventure. You'll not come back they said (they were sort of right). Three decent pubs within a quarter mile. A big church that people say is worth a...

    Apropos of nothing (NG)

    We were out watching our grandson play football last night. Eight and under, mixed and five aside. He scored four. He’s good at this level. I like to think our marathon USA versus England one-on-ones at the cabin over the last couple of years (always very high scoring; always the US wins by a...

    Anyone else having trouble with the site loading?

    Onto an I Phone. Freezes about half the time for me. Cleared history, powered down, and re-created the link but little improvement. Fellow sufferers only need reply. Thanks.

    ME7

    Apologies if I’m a bit behind on this, but is referring to us -club/supporters/community as ME7 bit new and associated with our new owners? I’m noticing it more. Usually I’m against new things on grounds of high principle, but this is ok.

    Harry Belafonte RIP

    Great singer, actor, and civil rights worker. The Tally Man says daylight’s come, and it’s time to go home, Harry.

    Term Papers

    70 plus term papers on political theory inbound by midnight tonight. Word documents as email attachments. Sometimes they just come with no message. Sometimes with a cover note. How about this one? Dear Dr. ..., I have my term paper attached. I hope you at the least find it satisfactory. Good...

    Exploding Chinese Balloon Thread

    Lot of fuss, but I think it will end up a load of hot air. About the size of a small car, they say, but what type and was it reasonably priced? They’re keeping very quiet on that.

    Aveling and Porter (train thread)

    Engineering company based in Strood. Built steam rollers and traction engines, some with flanged wheels serving as locos. Also the big sheds at the Dockyard. White horse rampant company badge and, apparently a loco called “Gillingham” on the Alderney railway in the Channel Islands in the long...

    Stockport Tickets

    Is there any information about these yet? I've been looking on the club's site and am seeing nothing. I was assuming that I'd order them through GFC and have them posted to a UK address or pick them up at Edgeley Park. Any information or advice (as to getting tickets, not my sanity), would be...

    Arise ye starvelings from your slumber

    I’m talking to our forwards, the criminals of want, not the toiling masses. It’s time to end the age of cant, or Kant, or can’t, or Kent, or **** -goal-wise. As Vladimir Ilyich so correctly argued, one step forward, two steps back is not going to find the back of the net. But being November 7...

    Achtung Nibbles!

    Re young Nathan Young Coombes’ hair, a friend has invited me to reflect on the consequences of his securing a position in the Bundesliga.
