Well that was crap. VAR and a German ref. Italy did not make it to Russia, neither did the Netherlands. One – nil away win and a 1 – 1 draw at home, don’t worry about fans being locked up in Russia, they won’t be there long enough unless we can improve.

I'm out.You’re right BL, it was the old lady (Juve) – failing memory! I was born in Nottingham and have sailed the world twice at 16 & 17, been in the Army all over the place. Everywhere I went, I tried to find somewhere to watch or play football. Must be an environmental effect!
Whenever there is a Forest-County game, County being the original Magpies, (not the Geordies) their supporters will eventually come out with “Come on you Pies!” at which the Forest fans answer is “They’re round the back, round the back, round the back with the Bovril!” But, apart from some isolated incidents, there has never been any real problem with the two sets of supporters: unusual in a city with two teams. Many years ago, County were about to go to Wembley in the play offs for promotion. Lots of Forest fans went to Wembley in support.

I'm out.Like a biscuit you lot do ya?
It’s the shade of red named after the Italian Giuseppe Garibaldi, ” he is associated with the red shirts worn by his volunteers, the Garibaldini… ”

When Forest first formed as a football club, this guy was a general fighting the French and driving them out of Italy. That was 1865, Forest being the 3rd oldest club in English football. Notts County is the oldest, Stoke City second. Interestingly, Arsenal began as a club playing in red after two Nottingham lads (ex-Forest players) went to the Woolwich Arsenal for work, sent home for some old Forest shirts, and the Arsenal FC was born. Gooners don’t like to be reminded of that! Inter Milan play in black and white because some Nottingham lads (Notts County supporters) went there to work and sent home for old County shirts.
Nottingham, giving football to the world.?? Someday we might get it back….
Here endeth the Football History Lesson. Incidentally my lovely old MIL loved Garibaldi biscuits, but she was born in Nuneaton and hated football. FIL had to sneak out to be picked up and taken to the City Ground with me.

I'm out.Anyone who thinks that this is just a Russian problem of misdirection and bad crisis leadership, check out Lord Kerslake’s Report on the Manchester attack Review:
So much inept and innefective decision-making by those at the top who should have learned lessons from other attacks in the UK and Europe. Once again, the lions are overruled by the donkeys.

I'm out.We (as a Nation) should send a message of condolence. The women & children who died were apolitical. It also brings a measure of humanity into a fraught political environment.
Spot on, Ed.

I'm out.Beeb has more:
Alarms switched off by a Fire Safety Technician (WTF?) exits blocked, shops,cinema and bowling alley packed. People jumping from windows. Fire officials, complex manager and a busines owner “Detained for questioning.” They will be in a cellar somewhere. You can bet whoever is deemed responsible, gets more than Community Service.
There are 64 dead as I write this. Many are children. What our PM should do, is express the sympathy of the UK.

I'm out.Actually, if I was watching football live at a ground now, it would be at Sincil Bank (Lincoln City) Saved from going under by fans, came up from National League, and now in top 8 of League One. Remember last season’s FA Cup run? No fluke, they have a good team and are solvent: more than about 75% of the Football League, I bet. Just 25 miles down a straight road from me.

I'm out.Why? Did it not work on your tablet before?
It worked, but the problem was my sight and Forumite as it was before you remodelled it. The layout now is great for my tablet, since using it quite a bit today, it is more – instinctive – than it was, plus there seems to be acres of space. On my new HP 23.8″ monitor, it’s fantastic, and on the tablet it is easier to use.
Well done Lee, you made a great job of remodelling the layout, I love it. Hope all the other visually-challenged Oldpharts are OK with it.???

I'm out.Ian Botham and Bob Willis once confessed to using a well-grown thumbnail to pick at the seam stitching of the ball. Not being an out and out cricket fan, I am not sure exactly what effect the practice had upon performance.
Those two wrecked the Aussies (and almost everyone else) with bat and ball, a few times, as I recall.

I'm out.BL I did not mean that as a joke, and as over the years I have met many WHU fans, I should have not phrased it as such. I remember how the fans I was among at the 66 Final, took me to their homes and gave me such a great time. (and the mother of all hangovers!) Those lads (and lasses) were justly proud of the Hammers players in that England team. As a Forest fan I know how it feels to see your club go down the pan (more than once).
Before the last 2 owners of NFFC, there was a Nottingham businessman and lifelong Forest fan, Nigel Doughty, who poured £100 million of his own money into the club and saved it from administration. He also created the Academy that still produces so many good young players. His company suffered and was in danger, which resulted in him taking his own life on February 4th, 2012. Since then we’ve had a Kuwaiti billionaire who had no idea how to run a football club and would not buy the players we needed. Instead, he sold those who were playing well and scoring goals, like Antonio, who incidentally defo needed a kick here as well! We went down to League One, back into the Championship and then Fawaz sold out to a billionaire Greek* who turns out to be as bent as a nine – bob note and is facing drug running charges. As he also is a shipowner, he must have found transporting the stuff easy.
*May not be a billionaire, or even a millionaire. Time will tell, if he gets the right deal for his Recreational substances.
What is happening to clubs like WHU and NFFC, is happening all over British football and is a disgrace. Fans who shell out good money deserve better.

I'm out.I have had a TP-Link TL-WN 321G for years, only 54 Mbps but got me out of trouble in the past.
The newer version is a mini usb 300 Mbps and is half the price of the 321:
There is even an AC 600Mbps version, for £14.99.

I'm out.Thanks Dan. Bill W. would be a bit older than that, certainly over 70, maybe 71. Suit and tie sounds like him, always smartly dressed.

I'm out.Thanks Dan:
Around 5feet 8, was dark haired in 1975, but now, who knows? A proper Lancashire lad, favourite expression was “Now then cocker, what’s up?” Not a heavy drinker (then) but liked what he called “proper beer” and average build, not aggressive at all. I have a pic somewhere, have to dig it out and scan it. Had an inventive mind when it came to uniform:
One night he was on Duty Storeman and decided he was not going to wear a whole KF shirt and Wooly Pulley. Took a spare shirt and removed everything but the bits that poked out of the shirt above the pullover, which was mostly collar and shoulders. Another mate who knew about this grabbed the collar and yanked the whole lot out. Cue other mate wearing his pint over his head.

I'm out.Well MSE just ended – all clean. Thanks for the suggestions as to free cleaners – will give them a go. Just as a matter of interest – Hitman Pro – can this be loaded onto a USB stick and used as and when trouble brews or has it got to be downloaded onto a PC?
Yes Dwynne: I keep it with Kaspersky KVRT.exe, Adware Cleaner and Malwarebytes on a stick, updating them all regularly. Has saved myself, family and friends a few times.

I'm out.That was sent from my Lenovo Tablet, which was almost out of charge, so just a short one. Basically, I will be able to access Forumite in hospital if their WiFi is up to scratch. I have been told that won’t be for at least 48 hours after the Op on April4th next Wednesday, as I will be zonked out in ICU for at least that time and will be another couple of days before I am in full Bullstuff mode.
That is a relief, I was wondering how I could continue pestering Forumites if I could not contact you at all.??
(Afterthought) – I will also be able to keep tabs on SWMBO and the family. Anticipating an outbreak of Demanding Sick Old Git mode.??
