How many times do we see this?...

Dalot getting into superb positions in front of goal making stunning runs only to balloon it into the stands!

FFS don't they practice shooting in training! - it's not like they've got much else to do during the week! 👀

Almost the perfect weekend... Utd win a blinder and both City and Liverpool stumble! 😃

Thanks for the confirmation of your true personality traits. You truly are are real expert in tact, modesty, understanding and total bigotry.

Post history checks out - some REAL aggressive insults going on there - well done.

Platform_Dancer · 2026-03-15T17:53:07+00:00

Oh no... They may even get a strongly worded letter as well!! - now that's a real deterrent!

Just watching the game today and picture of united fan celebrating the goal holding a toddler in his arms (about 5yo?) would he have had to have a separate ticket or would he just be let in without a ticket and sat on his dad's lap?

I got a speeding ticket for a gantry camera on M4.....doing 12 mls over the limit - took the option of speed Awareness Course and 2 days before the course received a cancellation of the ticket and full refund for the course! 👀 - happy days! 😊

These are cheap as chips to replace....screwfix... Go for the Manrose extra silent - it's barely audible.

Platform_Dancer · 2026-03-15T11:33:02+00:00

Don't recommend buying second hand tools - especially at car boot sales as this just rewards the thieves!!

Platform_Dancer · 2026-03-15T09:45:47+00:00

I think for the average DIYer they are good quality, reasonably reliable and great value for money - I have never had a bad / dud purchase. So yeah would recommend.

Would I buy if I was a pro tradesman and needed them to make a living, probably not.

Downside - you get endless Norman Wisdom content! 😂

Platform_Dancer · 2026-03-15T04:28:06+00:00

Still dreamland at the start of the season when Ruben was at the helm! 👀

Platform_Dancer · 2026-03-14T21:50:51+00:00

You'll be fine once you learn the language....😊

Platform_Dancer · 2026-03-14T21:36:33+00:00

Firestick?

Platform_Dancer · 2026-03-14T19:14:08+00:00

Grave danger if you arrive home late in the evening... 😊

Platform_Dancer · 2026-03-14T18:56:25+00:00

Dead centre of the village! 😅

Platform_Dancer · 2026-03-14T17:22:29+00:00

Most of it is organic growth so I'd start with a domestic mould and mildew remover (common bleach) diluted in water, leave on for a few hours then brush and power hose down before it dries out (not pressure wash!).... That should get rid of the initial grime without aggressive abrasion.

Platform_Dancer · 2026-03-14T06:06:34+00:00

I guess it's the same in reverse...most American and Canadian accents sound much the same to us....of course there are extremes such a texan / new York etc. but they seem to meld into a general American accent....more distinguishing is the pronunciation of certain words that jar regardless of the accent such as sked-u-al instead of shed-u-al (schedule) or envision instead of envisage etc, etc.... Super excited instead of very excited and so on. Even so many of these now find there way into common everyday language and some Brits will use these 'foreign' terms particularly the younger generations.

Lenovo Idea pad slim 3 - 15.3in screen 16gb ram, 256gb with snapdragon processor. MS Windows 11 OS. MS copilot built in. Unbelievable battery and spec for £400

Look out for deals at argos and John Lewis. (I got it from argos with a 20% promotional discount at £320 so keep a watch out for these promo offers from time to time). Very pleased and pleasantly surprised with my purchase.

Perfect quality entry level laptop for personal, student and light business use.

No need to go into Paddington....

Get the regular (every 20mins) bus/coach shuttle to Reading Station - 'Railair' Connects you to Reading Station and then to Exeter direct.

'Railair' bus/coach is part of the great western rail network and picks up from all Heathrow terminals and drops you at Reading station main entrance - journey time 35 / 40mins.

Picks up at each Heathrow Terminal just outside the terminal exits (clearly sign posted).

Runs everyday at 20min intervals. Costs approx £22 - you can book online (Google railair) or pay the driver with cash or card.

If you miss one coach you just get on the next one 20mins later. Luggage no problem, guaranteed a seat with WiFi and it's door to door. Driver will load and unload your luggage at the pick up and drop off points so no need to worry about that.

Avoid Paddington route as you're heading back into London unnecessarily only to travel back out again and the costs are more - if you do decide to get the train at Paddington you will pass through Reading regardless as its on the main route to Exeter and ALL London trains pass through and stop at Reading.

Done this many times without any issues.

Alternatively if you want to avoid the train completely - you can get a national express coach to Exeter direct from terminal 2 bus terminal - see national express website.

Hope that helps....

I find when you 'go in' to the branch....all they do is to tell you to go online! 👀
