Extra time, how embarrassing… 

Really poor, but as a Spurs supporter I’m used to it 🤦🏼

Hi Turkey. 👋

What's your virtual tipple? How's your husband doing. As I recall he had a similar initial T2c diagnosis to mine and had radical treatment about the same time I did, but had radio therapy and not surgery like me? Or have I got that wrong?

I do tend to get mixed up the older I get.🫤

Aaah! I've just logged on after not been in for a while and delighted to see that there has been a lot of nice chat at the virtual bar (for some reason I've stopped getting emails to alert me when someone is chatting).

That Tamworth match was a bit embarrassing, going to extra time - wow!

Mind you we got knocked out predictably in the first round by Morecambe. Talking footy, I was saddened to learn of the passing the other day of Bobby Kennedy, ex-Bradford City Manager, he took us as a lowly 4th division team to the Quarter Finals in 1976, only to be knocked out by Southampton with a 'cheat' goal, a free kick which was flicked up (with illegal double touch) for Jim McCalliog to smash home from 25 yards. Southampton themselves were a 2nd divsion side and they went on to famously beat Man Utd in the final. I remember as a kid listening to the prior 5th round tie on the wireless, where we caused a major upset to beat Norwich City away (John Bond who had a few unkindly words, if I remember), Norwich were then a top 5 first division side. we beat them with two of the most spawniest goals ever seen, scored by Don Hutchins (it was a cross) and a Billy McGinley daisy cutter on the second attempt. The City was buzzing for days after, and I've still got all the newspaper clippings somewhere. 

Anyway, hey diddle diddle I've gone and got myself an allotment. So I'm now looking forward to spending my lazy prostap summer days sitting with my feet up outside my shed, on my allotment with the odd pint of homebrew - Can't be bad eh?

Spongebob.   

I don’t think it’s a place for dogs - their poo won’t mix well with cabbages. I’ve only seen the allotment under snow so not yet quite sure what state it is in. But, doesn’t matter it’s something different to do, keep me out of mischief 😬

Nice one Spongebob! I'm just in the process of doing the same. Me and my middle son have signed up for a couple of plots. Just waiting for the previous incumbents to clear all their crap away before we can move in. It will give me something to do in the summer. Dogs are allowed at ours, so I'll be taking the Lab up there with me. It's already got a shed, so just need a nice big comfy garden chair 👍

That's why I asked Spongebob if he was taking his dogs. They've got allotments in our village. In the summer it's full of old codgers dozing in deck chairs, dogs sleeping at their feet, surrounded by beer cans. The allotments are left to go back to nature. Now that's what I call gardening!

I've still got a spare night bag kicking around somewhere. With some minor modification at "the business end", I reckon I could have the set up for a long afternoon in the deckchair...........
