Good. Conflicted about the best time to get Man U but if we could beat the cunts at Wembley that'd be smashing, thanks.

They must be at Chernobyl level meltdown mode by now?

"Get Southampton to be on their game, phone up our Man City contact and tell Pep to concentrate the league and CL."

Never mind, at least he wears it well even though the first cut was the deepest. (What? 'Ross' not 'Rod'? Sorry, no idea who he is?)

Pretty sure Russell was a Newcastle fan and on our books as a bairn before going to Sunderland?

I discovered in the 90s that when the good times come around I don't get tickets for cup finals so I'll not be there if we get there this season as history would be repeating itself.

I'm off for the first leg but at graft for the second leg.

You're welcome.

I've signed it but I want it put on record that I can't stand any of the southern Jessies.

Nae twa doots aboot that.

That's the one. It was something like £70 to replace which shot up a bit with the new lad. Sure it was something like a £100 more from memory? Anyway, in my case it was probably a better call to replace due to the age and shifting around it did.

No scarf for me as I'll be at graft which is usually good news when we're playing at the same time.

Sounds like the problem we had, it could be the balancing system venting when it shouldn't, auld lad called it straight away, got hand held pump out drained the part, filled it up then blew the surplus out balancing it, charged peanuts and it worked, happened a few months later so he came back, repeated it saying if it happens again it's the part, replace it. A few months later same thing happens but he's retired and recommends a younger lad who was an apprentice but has obvious experience now who quotes a bit more for the part than the old lad but seems to know what he's talking about, bottom line I get a new one as I didn't want pay £200 for something when I knew the boiler had taken some stick when we'd shifted it. New one is working fine , is quieter and I dare say is saving me a bit of money although it's hard to tell in the current shit show.

This isn't as uncommon as you may think. Get someone recommended from someone you trust and it'll save you in the long run than paying BG's insurance.

It's a no brainer which is why it was neglected as there was no brains around to implement it.

I largely agree with what you're saying but I've found more than one Liverpool fan, (I won't say Scouser because they could be from anywhere) have been talking absolute shite with regards to us now thinking twice about singing about Hillsborough, I've been to Hillsborough pre and post disaster and have been to many, many games and I've never once heard our fans taunting them about Hillsborough, I've heard the odd nugget sing sign on and although that's shit and I don't like it, it isn't about Hillsborough.

Hope it's not too bad, mate?

You might not be able to replace the gas combi boiler in the not so near future so it might be worth doing now if you can't afford the alternative?

We got a new boiler just over a year ago after the old one was fixed twice, then the third replaced a part by the same bloke. Eventually got a new one when the same fault would reoccur after a few weeks. It was an older boiler and had been moved into an extension and taken a few knocks so decided to bite the bullet and get a new one. Even when the old one was playing up you could manually top it up so it wasn't totally fucked. I know this is no help to you but many years ago in the old house an old boiler needed a new PCB board so we were fucked till it was replaced. You might be better off getting a new one as the cleaning thing you say sounds superfluous, it's either fucked or it isn't and if it's just a part and you're happy with the boiler just replace the part. You'll know yourself if it's worth replacing the part or the boiler.

I'd be interested in this but 12 hour shifts, nights and days, different days of the week mean the every other day thing is out of the question, fucking shift work has put the block on loads of things throughout my working life, there's benefits but if you need a day shift routine week in, week out to do something on any weekly fixed night, well good luck with that. (I'm back to work tonight, can you tell?)

Anyone want to see a wet and moist, Lynda Carter? Giddup!

'When I offered up my suggestion for who would be best placed to succeed me the room fell quiet and everyone looked my way, I think it was Mherdad who first said something like, 'You mean you'd still advise us?' before Amanda butted in said, 'Mherdad, shush, when Steve Bruce talks, people listen.' so I passed on my wisdom as they passed on my pay off cheque for services well earned.'

"You know who I think could do a job? That fella from Bournemouth who got them relegated who I've just accidentally on purpose slagged off because I was in the huff having to answer questions insinuating that I was a shite football manager.'

Whey aye you did, Steve, WHEY AYE.

When I saw Fish's post I was thinking we'll probably have Peroni on draught when they bring stuff back in house and maybe even have Guinness that isn't from a can and is cold. (I'll still have a pint or two in the many bars in town instead).
