I believe all but Wiki already know that. Given individuals have a lot of influence over their Wiki entry it is probably safe to assume he is simply being modest.

We just about scraped a win at home against Southampton. Though we should have slaughtered them.

We just about scraped a win at home against Southampton. Though we should have slaughtered them. You should of done. I'm starting to despair about Saints future, not least because once he's finished buggering the country Rishi Sunak has hinted he'd like to turn his attention to his 'beloved' Southampton FC. |

I had to post a card and gift to my s-i-l so I took my wobbly me down to the Co-op to get the necessary.
It wasn't too bad until I got to the bottom of the steps at the Co-op to be faced with an icy pavement and edge of steps, the pavement and edge of the carpark an icy expanse.
A large (very) delivery monster was coming back to drive away again. He saw me hesitate, stopped the wagon and walked back to escort me over. What a wonderful guy. He also told me to leave by the steps further down as they were clearer.
So I got home OK, all chores done.

It's amazing how a simple act of kindness - or even just a smile - can lift one up, and restore a little faith in our common humanity. |

I am now within 7lbs of my weight when I was 21 years old. Mind you, if it still comes off, I might get a little worried.

Ahh. It was a bit like a conversation with my wife. She would come out with a sentence and no context and wonder why I didn’t get the link with something that happened or was said weeks ago, lol.

After the best part of three years collecting rocks (thanks, Martin!), then shilly-shallying and generally not getting round to sorting the job out, I have finally got the groundwork near enough done for the pondery, it's as close to level as I can get it(!!!), and I've not too many rocks left over.
Now to splash out on a nice thick black rubber thing.
That's a pond liner, you filthy- minded perverts.

There are plenty of posts where the coast/lakes/ponds and rivers aren't level either causing the water to slope. |

Proof, if it was ever needed, that a West Country accent makes everything wonderful. Having a coffee in Frome, Somerset and the barista asks a customer if they would like sprinkles on their mocha. Sounded absolutely brilliant in a thick Somerset accent.
