  1. Sowed this years crop today. Into the propagator and south facing window sill in the spare room.
  2. Just back from long weekend in Yorkshire Dale's. We stayed at Countersett Hall near Bainbridge and did 3 walks in the Dale's. The first was around Countersett. Mansett and Semer Water. 9.5k beautiful scenery. The next day we went to Aysgarth and walked along the River Ure, past Aysgarth Falls and over to West Burton falls (what a beautiful village) and back to the Aysgarth falls hotel 11k and Sunday dinner at the pub, beef pork and all trimmings. Yum yum. Then on day 3 we started and Finished at the Hawes Creamery home of Wensleydale Cheese (Grommit). We went up to Hardraw force and back round by the River Ure to Hawes. An excellent weekend with lots of beer wine and great food!
  3. I've started to write in this thread, then deleted so many times. When Cal and I first started to go to Hillsborough as dad and lsd, we had just moved from Brizzle to Epworth and I found Owls Alive and Owlsonline. At a certain age Cal wanted to go onto the top away from the South. So I asked where people go and Tee, Beastie and Hollie asked us to join them at the rromt of the Kop with Kizza, Liam Mark and others. Even when I was working away Tee would pick up Cal at Meadowhell and along with Beastie and Hollie they would look after him even when we made the player award to Matk Beevers. We had a real Comradery going for a few seasons with Beastie an ever-present. On my own on the way to Wembley in 2016 I ended up in a seat across from Beastie and Hollie and I imbibed in the famous "Special Oasis". Excellent stuff. We had many discussions about gigs we'd been to and the good old Butlins punk weekenders and Stone Valley festivals with Stranglers and Boomtown Rats headlining. A proper gent. I really hoped he'd fight and win. I lost my brother in a similar way. He was called Steve and was a fireman who passed in 1998. Cancers a bastard. Too many too young 😪 RIP Beastie, join the blue watch up there with my bro!
  4. RIP Sir Bobby. A proper bloke a true gentleman. You held you head high and kept it there. You let your feet do the talking.
  5. Went up to Edinburgh last month to watch the Killers. They can rock a venue. The show was brilliant with great bangs and lights at the end. Brandon Flowers is fantastic live. Johnny Marr backed them up. He's a miserable sod. Anyway he came on with the Killers and they did a fantastic version of This Charming Man. A great band live if you get the chance!
  6. RIP Tricky Trevor. A true gentleman to boot too!
  7. Not everyone's cup of tea but went to see P!nk at Hyde Park yesterday. Mrs Eppers Christmas present. The show was outstanding and Pink doing high wire stuff, hanging upside down and acrobatics on ropes whilst not dropping a note was a site to behold.
  8. Sometimes Reesh, your observations and depth of well thought comments are massively insightful and in need of knighthood! 🤪🤪🤣🤣
  9. Alex...wtf has the Sheffield accent gone? Stop trying to be Elvis / Brandon Flowers / Peter Murphy and get back to your roots.
  10. West Ham should get the book thrown at them for this from a great height!
