Absolutely brilliant winter bud, typical guy, Richie. Love Vinny in anything. Binge watched it today.

04 Sep 2026 09:33:36
I'm saving it for after the weekend, mate, heading up to Edinburgh in a little while for the Mrs's birthday.
I resisted watching it, but I can't wait. 🌳

Emotional.... 😎

Okay, I managed to squeeze in 2 last night before bed, ducking brilliant. 👍👍👍

Not football related.
RIP Dolly Parton.

A very intelligent and talented lady Ripley. “Jolene” and “9 to 5 “ will be timeless classics but there were loads of others which flew under the radar. Country and western is basically American folk music as you know, with all that entails.


An amazing voice, great humanitarian ( including supplying books to libraries and schools) and very humble with great self deprecating wit.
My favourite quip ( on Parky I think) was “ Hey,it costs alot of money to look this cheap” ! 😁
RIP Dolly

I'm a rock/grunge/reggae/punk man but I've had some awesome times at Country and folk festivals. RIP Dolly, you legend!

9 to 5 is my fave.

Cyclist
“Tumble outta bed and stumbleinto the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition “
Is got to be one of the best opening lyrics of any song mate. Pure poetry 👍👍

Rip, amazingly talented lady. ❤️

RIP Frank Beard. ZZ Top Drummer.

19 Aug 2026 12:07:02
One of my regrets that I never had the opportunity to see ZZ Top live. Always thought they looked and sounded like a fun, entertaining Texas band with great tunes and subtle lyrics …. they were much more subversive behind the MTV glitz
RIP Mr Beard (ironically the only unbearded member of the band )

Discussions: Hey Ed001, the new season of Reacher is out with the first three episodes. Best one so far imo👍

{Ed001's Note - I watched the first episode yesterday, was excellent. I am looking forward to watching the rest if it is starting this well!}

14 Aug 2026 08:37:11
Got them on my list to watch RRH and Ed1. Alan Ritchson at least looks as though he could kill you with his bare hands unlike the diminutive Tom Cruise. Like Daniel Craig’s Bond.
It’s appropriate that the books are by Lee Child as they read like they were written by one. ………..

{Ed001's Note - I have never read the books but I love this version of the show.}

14 Aug 2026 12:32:28
Ed 1 the ones I’ve read are more like basic plot line sketches like a film script, little description, one dimensional characters etc.
But great marketing and Child is a multi millionaire so good for him!

{Ed001's Note - probably why they work so well for turning into films and TV shows in that case. Good luck to him, if everything was high art, very few people would read it. You need to have different kinds of literature so all can enjoy it. Personally, I read very little fiction, mostly only the Warhammer stuff, which you lot in Nottingham should know very well as it originated there.}

14 Aug 2026 13:31:45
And yeah I've never read the books either. 🌳

14 Aug 2026 13:30:10
Have to say, as Ed said, its not the most elegant of plot lines, very predictable even. But thats not what makes it entertaining, Alan Ritchson is absolutely brilliant in the role. Love his short, dry sense of humour. Honestly find myself laughing more at this than any modern comedy. 🌳

14 Aug 2026 13:43:28
I agree entirely Ed 1. Any reading is good reading imo. Good luck to Mr Child. Everybody to their own. As a kid I loved the Biggles books ( a gift there for the Chuckle Brothers I know)….😂😂😂

{Ed001's Note - I used to love those as well Stokey!}

18 Aug 2026 17:10:18
'Brothers Under Fire' with Kiefer Sutherland, on Prime, surprising good watch. 🌳

08 Aug 2026 15:37:39
The brilliant Al Stewart in his song Time Passages puts it best….
“Well I’m not the kind who lives in the past
The years run too short and the days too fast
The things that you lean on are things that don’t last
Well it’s just now and then that my line gets cast
Into Time Passages …. ”…….

Can someone make it rain for one day?
Come on Red Hot Red, you must have the power? 😁
Costing me a fortune in water.

RIP Bill Oddie, bless you!

I grew up with Monty Python, the Goodies and Forest! I suffered on nights out as DJs played 'The Funky Gibbon' and even attended an away match where the home fans sang along to it. (Can't remember where).

I always remember Bill Oddie, with his mutton chops and blooming big kitten!

Thank you for the laughs Bill!

28 Jul 2026 10:37:27
Hear, hear, although I was fortunate to miss his earlier stuff, I grew up on his wildlife programmes. RIP Bill. 🌳

28 Jul 2026 13:39:36
I always preferred his wildlife programmes too, RRH. He was always a bit grumpy, but Kate Humble was very good with him. And, very, very gorgeous.
The Goodies were quite funny, but I always preferred Monty Python tbh.

Best news ever Anthony (I hate Forest) Taylor has retired as a referee ⚡️⚡️⚡️.

06 Jul 2026 13:05:26
Let’s spare a thought for our Welsh, Irish and Scottish friends at this difficult time …… 🤔🤔😁😁🤔🤔.

19 Jul 2026 13:00:49
Is that Patriotic or Patronising?

20 Jul 2026 12:48:31
Piss taking probably covers it, mate. 😂😂

Just to keep things in perspective, today is the 110th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. On this date, in one day, the British Army suffered over 57, 000 casualties, of which 19, 250 were killed.

It remains the largest loss of life suffered in one day.
The battle dragged on for another 8 months with around a million casualties on both sides for little or no gain
RIP.

02 Jul 2026 10:12:29
Well said, Stokey. Hero's one and all. 🌳

02 Jul 2026 10:20:08
Largest loss of life in one day by the British Army .

02 Jul 2026 21:25:16
A monument to the stupidity of the British Officer class.

02 Jul 2026 21:51:43
Could not agree more cyclist

02 Jul 2026 21:52:09
Yes and no Cyclist. Certainly to the stupidity of the Senior Command Officers at General Staff Level on all sides. They'd started to learn the lessons by the last year of the War by which time it was too late for millions. So, use of tanks, aircraft, mobile storm troopers, creeping barrages, no massed frontal attacks etc
The Junior Officers below the General Staff level, say Lieutenants, Captains, platoon and section commanders were disproportionately targeted and killed in huge numbers.

They led from the front and were ( until later in the war) dressed and armed differently and killed by snipers and small arms fire.
The flower of the British Officer class were lost, particularly in Battles like the Somme a mainly British attack and a particular symbol of pointless tragedy

03 Jul 2026 08:59:04
The officers tactics/orders have nothing to do with the memory of the fallen. Its the fallen we remember, brave souls who stood for our country and ideals. The same country that many here are happy to slag off. Clearly easy to forget its our parents, grandparents and great grandparents who stood and fought so bravely to defend those ideals. 🌳

03 Jul 2026 11:12:15
I agree entirely, Rrh. Good post. A tragedy of unimaginable proportions.

03 Jul 2026 14:08:17
Yes, all them millions of soldiers that gave their lives for the country to be given away a hundred years later. They would be so proud. Like I said, England is no more. Finished.

03 Jul 2026 21:57:37
Onpa typeraa...Finnish? 🌳

03 Jul 2026 23:01:17
Rubbish Skegs. Our country has many faults but it's still one of life's golden winning lottery numbers to be born here.
If you are dissatisfied, like I said, you should either get your arse off your recliner and do something ( even in a small way) to improve things as per Lego's efforts with his veterans or bugger off abroad somewhere.


Every day, I wake up and thank God I'm English and live here for all its faults. And I've seen a lot of the World, believe me

04 Jul 2026 16:37:04
Maybe, if you got your head out of the books and didn't spend so much time travelling around the world and leaving this country, you might see what's happening with it. But you sit there with your sherry and your little pinky in the air. Why I go back to living in the real world.

"Travel broadens the mind and reading maketh a full man." Sir Francis Bacon, 1597. As true then as now, and explains many things....

05 Jul 2026 16:46:27
Stokey, mate, pork canny be educated. 🌳

05 Jul 2026 17:50:26
Very good RRH. 😂😂
