Dunno about this. Dad always said 'put your money into property'. His advice has served me well since the sixties. But now, with possible population decline, the day may come when there's a housing surplus. If, one day, there were to be a decline in the market, I would fear for the consequences.

Yes, just to join in... 'Really sorry for Theo and I hope modern surgery will repair the damage. I was 12 when I ruptured my knee ligaments and dislocated the joint. 'Spent ages in Whipp's and had the torn cartilege removed. Eventually got to see the Marshes again but wasn't much cop by then. Now, a...

'Might be a figment of my imagination but didn't he play left wing for Crewe at Brizzie two or three years ago? Kept going past Tom James like he wasn't there as I recall. Triffic player IMO.

Come on Os. Ease my Trump 'Ump and start rockin all over the World.

Moi aussi. No... just come on.

All I would say is that, with a fit Jordan Graham, we'd have a high class supplier of crosses and no-one to nut 'em in.

Well, I like to get hold of big cardboard boxes and make them into err... buses. Yes big red buses, I rather like that.

It'll be over when the cat lady sings.

The problem is that work should pay properly and for many, it no longer does. I'm old enough to remember when a working man would be able to raise a family, buy a little house, have a family holiday from time to time and run a small car. He would also be able to afford pension provision, insurances ...

Wouldn't we be better off without purposeless whinging?

Sorry. It wasn't a great education.

Bored but, the way things are, can't bear to write about footie. So I'll ask - did anyone else on here attend Oxford and Elton House School in Wallwood Road in the fifties? And if so what do you remember?

Just wondering... We are told that we can't compete financially with clubs of similar size and similar support. Looking at our current squad, this appears to be true even though Ritchie can sometimes get them to play a bit. I am wondering if this is the long term situation or just our immediate circ...

Has the stream started?

Pointless nostalgia, I know but in my distant memory Saturday afternoon footie was the metronome of a working man's life... Talk about it all week; finish work midday; meet your mates at the pub for a couple of pints then walk down the Os. 3s/6p - all standing, a lot of it on compacted earth banking...

Better than last week with commentary and half price. Thanks Os.

A barely related item, I know but I thought I'd let you know that, last week, 2,500 euros was taken illicitly from my French current account. It appears to have been paid to an Israeli estate agent in Tel Aviv. The gendarmerie are on the case but I wonder if I have inadvertently aquired a small piec...

Shocking situation for them... Lose prof. status or get wound up. 'Guess they're entre deux mares.

If a Texan millionare needs a tenner out of my pension to help keep the Os going, just ask; I'll try to oblige. I've been supporting them since 1949 so what's another few quid. But don't con me - I'm your mate. Tonight's Temu version of a match video was not up to scratch... they knew it but still s...

Should've missed his ear by about three inches.

There's one pizza on the table and some people are taking bigger slices. In thirty years time, do we think that those who aren't getting their rightful share will simply become resigned to the fact and adopt happy hungry life styles? I'm not one of them thank Christ but, if I were, I know what I'd t...

Dare I suggest it? Could this bloke get a tune out of Piggot?

Being out of the country on July 4th, I applied for a postal vote. The forms arrived yesterday at 11.00 am; I filled them in and got to the Bureau de Poste just in time for the mid-day collection. 'Couldn't have done much more but I don't think my ballot paper will arrive in time to count. Effective...

I had assumed he was our new midfielder.

Spend a few months on Pelforth, Dunners, and you'd be gagging for Watneys Red Barrel.
