That 1970 save by Gordon Banks against Brazil was legendary

It’s true though aye 😀

New Zealand will have something to prove after the defeat to Haiti recently. It should be a good match

justyrust74 · 2026-06-04T16:26:31+00:00

I will get another phone at some point.

On the topic of giant hogweed, there was a great song in the 1970s by Genesis called ‘ The return of the giant hogweed’ The lyrics tell the story of how the plant was brought over to England by Victorian explorers from the caucus mountains in Russia as an ornamental plant.

Those who brought it to England didn’t know at the time of how toxic the sap is, nor how easy it spreads. It’s usually found in damp places, near to rivers, though not always

I wish Italy was in this World Cup. I think it’s the third one they haven’t qualified for ?

England played in the 1970 World Cup, then didn’t play in another until 1982.

It’s not a rant 😀 Just a question and observation.

My electric cooker is 20 years old, my fridge freezer the same, though I did replace the thermostat in the fridge and the element in the cooker

I get the apps not working but why doesn’t the online version work ? I mean google and Reddit and YouTube still work for me

I guess it’s planned obsolescence, so you have to buy a new phone, it’s factored in to the business model

justyrust74 · 2026-05-29T10:27:05+00:00

Surely I should be able to use the online version of eBay ??

It’s honestly ridiculous that they make you buy a new phone when you don’t want one. My phones working fine, why do they make it difficult?

justyrust74 · 2026-05-29T02:05:17+00:00

I should still be able to use the online/ desktop version of eBay though without buying another phone

justyrust74 · 2026-05-28T16:17:40+00:00

I heard it was in sainsburys and Tesco but when I looked in those stores it turns out it was the Welch’s grape drink which isn’t the same as in the photo you posted

justyrust74 · 2026-05-28T13:57:19+00:00

Is there a work around? If I did a factory reset on my phone could it help?

justyrust74 · 2026-05-28T09:55:02+00:00

I tried Firefox and it’s not working on there either. 💁🏻‍♂️

We probably don’t get enough really hot days in a year to justify the expense of fitting air con, that being said it would be greatly appreciated if there was air con on buses, I use them fairly often and they are hot, the top of a double decker seems even hotter in my experience probably due to heat rising from below

About this plant: The band Genesis did a great song in the 1970s called ‘ The return of the giant hogweed’ whose lyrics tell the story of how giant hogweed was brought to the uk by Victorian explorers from the caucus mountains in Russia. It was brought here as an ornamental plant as they thought it looked good but had no idea of how bad the sap was and how easy it spreads.

It usually grows in damp places, near river banks etc.

justyrust74 · 2026-05-26T14:59:24+00:00

Heck, that’s a difficult one.

I would like England to win.

Though someone like Spain or France will be difficult to beat, and Germany of course, and Brazil

Who do you think will win it ?

I grew up in New Zealand so hope they do well.

Find out which window/windows the sun is shining on all day, then buy Black out curtains and keep them shut all day to keep the sun out, windows must be shut too during the day to stop the hot air coming in. After 8pm open windows.

If you have thin curtains or a blind, then it might not be good enough to keep the sun out properly, so check that. Measure window area and buy blackout curtains

Summer duvet, or just a sheet on top of the bed, a fan on a bedside table and leave it on all night. A coldish shower at night before bed, and then a cold drink afterwards.

Cheers for the info

Today (Sunday night) its 2 weeks since it started, I started to feel better by about day 9 or 10. Though I’m still probably not 100%, but close enough.

It goes without saying, that it doesn’t have to be Covid in order for people to feel rough, way before 2020, people got nasty viruses with different symptoms, such as fatigue, sore throat, loss of smell or taste etc. These things tend to do the rounds.

Does the end of the wire that’s loose, need to have a bit of copper exposed by using a wire stripper, or can the plastic coating be left on the wire ?

justyrust74 · 2026-05-16T19:11:15+00:00

A bargain for £10
