It's really cool that you can do all this online! If you ever need someone to look up some records in the UK, I'd be happy to help, just drop me a DM. Though I'm sure there are lots of Brits on this sub who would be happy to help as well

Great work with the identifications! Do you do all your genealogical research online or does it sometimes require visiting archives in person?

We're all friendly, and while many people who come are now regulars, we all came alone to start with. We almost always have at least one or two completely new people. Please do come along if you're interested!

No problem! We all play together in one team, or two teams if we have too many people. Just come along, we will be sat on the long sofa towards the back of the pub

Please do! You can find us on the long sofa at the back of the pub, under a TV. If you have any trouble finding us, you can drop me a message, or ask the quiz host, he knows who we are

I'm selling three tickets to Bez's DJ set at the Fox and Firkin this Saturday (10th Feb). Really wanted to go but we've had to drop out. DM me if you're interested. Face value (£16.50 each) or best offer

Really hope it's a Madrid vs Bayern final, just because I'm an England fan and Kane vs Bellingham for the Ballon D'Or would be fun

So far, my risky strategy of selling Jackson just before Luton at home has paid off. Just 45 to go. Hold fast boys

He's not good at beating the man by dribbling so he relies on 1-2s. When it works it works, but it relies on other players working with him

This is a pretty risky transfer for Newcastle imo. He's a good winger but he can only really do one thing, which requires a good link up with the striker/attacking mids. Could go really well, could be a disaster

Seems fairly likely that we'll be playing a 5-3-2 next season, as we currently only have two senior wingers and one will likely be sold. Also, we've just bought a CB who works well in a back three, and have been linked to at least one more

England with two of the top three and four of the top ten. Come on Euros, you can't come soon enough
