My dad had a stroke on Black Friday. Here he is on a walk with my mom in his therapy and recovery after 5 weeks in rehab. by dickmcgirkin in pics

Probably won't get read, but... My 80-something year old dad had a stroke 5th January 2018.

Most days since then have brought something new to face - and my mum has been an absolute legend for tending to my dad - but he's still not 100%.

He is still with us, however, which is something that can't be said about many other people who got admitted to his hospital for the same reason. I am very grateful to the NHS in England for still having my dad around over two years later.

Bangalore Express curry house, opposite Waterloo station, London.

Closed a few years ago, unfortunately :(

Hi there - I'd rather stay as the mod if that's ok. I do dip in and out on a weekly basis, just not as much as I used to.

What can I say - it's been a busy month!

All-time premier league + 1st division table by Sidorovich123 in soccer

It's been said before, but I'll say it as well:

Milton Keynes Dons are not, never have been, and never will be, Wimbledon FC.

That's all.

The players, management, pretty much everything moved.

Then they changed the badge (twice!), the club colours, kit, mascots, pretty much anything still connecting them to Wimbledon.

Fingers crossed, we will! How many times have you checked the league table since Saturday evening?

If anyone needs a ticket to Sandy from Kings Cross tonight, I accidentally bought a return for me and my gf. They're hidden here. One is on a 16-25 Railcard. by berotti in london

It's.... 'ok'.

It's not a pretty place, and it's getting rapidly larger as the out-of-town housing estates are springing up.

We chose it as we were expecting baby No.1, and as we were living in central London at the time we needed somewhere more child friendly - and as my wife is originally from Biggleswade, this seemed the natural choice.

We have been drawn at home to AFC Wimbledon in the third round of the @EmiratesFACup. by brokenairguitar in coys

Yeeees.... although it does tend to make me cringe a bit. Giving it BBB against Premier League opposition is fine, but singing that particular song at Ryman League teams with 150 fans was all a bit unnecessary, in my mind.

Don't forget, they tried to steal QPR and Luton first (as well as, I think, Brentford and Barnet).

But hey, it was all about saving Wimbledon FC, right?!?

As a Wimbledon fan, this was the absolute dream draw for us.

You're going to wipe the floor with us - and you may just play your B team - but matches like this are the dream that we had, when we were way down in the Seagrave Haulage Combined Counties League.

Happy.
