@maxjam is an arse!

Probably more like hundreds. Happy to take sole responsibility for it too, if it makes others feel better about themselves, and their own perfect approach to life. 🍻

Big Club my arse! This ain't no way to treat away fans...

But wait... there's more to discuss here...

Out of nowhere, whilst away camping in Bruges, Easter 2023, I had severe pains/restrictions with both shoulders. Bad enough to keep me awake for 3 nights running, until the Belgian pain killers got into my system. Literally didn't have enough strength in my arm(s) to raise a hairbrush to my head, or raise one arm high enough to wash my armpits, without help from the other hand! 😲 Could just about manage to brush my teeth and/or shave, but it was a struggle, and not pain free! I couldn't reach any higher. Muscles had shot it! Bro in law recommended a chiropractor following decent results on his back. I was sceptical, it has to be said. Due to the recommendation, my initial appointment/scans/assessment etc was free. I had trapped nerves in/around the shoulders/upper arms. "Tech neck" (I've always stooped at the shoulder, to be fair). A slight sideways curve of the spine. And a leaning of the hips (One higher than the other). (None had caused me any grief prior). I then signed up initially to a set of 6 x 15min appointments (Worked out cheaper than paying for one at a time). Two per week to start with. More scans/re-assessment showed we were heading in the right direction. (Which I could feel for myself, I hasten to add!). I continued another set of six at one per week. More improvements followed I've continued since, but whilst the improvements continue/problems desist, the gap between appointments get wider. (They don't rip you off, and it helps to avoid dropping back into old habits!) My last appointment was a fortnight ago, and I'm not due to go again until mid August. Now... of course... there is the small matter of self help. I'm now into doing certain stretching exercises for a good 5/6mins each morning (even before my coffee!) and again in the evening. But it's them that advise what stretches to do, and how/when to do them. It ain't willy-nilly or hocus pocus, and I'm happy to continue to get expert advice. The incentive is purely based on how much "looser" I feel now, compared to Easter '23. And I'm amazed that they can actually feel (externally) where the tight spots are (internally). They also do a cracking massage, when needed. ... Oh... nearly forgot... midway through my first batch of treatments, I proper did my back in humping my F-I-L's (God rest his soul. xxx) mobi-scooter into the car boot. They sorted that for me too. There was no problem with them diverting from shoulder/neck treatment to back treatment! (In reality, it was a bit of both, all within the 15min appointment). Without doubt, they have worked wonders! Without doubt, it has thus far proved to be worth every penny. Without doubt, I would highly recommend... https://www.derbyfamilychiropractic.co.uk/ (I go to Chester Green. They also have one somewhere in Chello). Happy to PM my real name, if it helps anyone get a free assessment. (No idea if they still do that, or if it was a special/temporary offer?) 👍 *MODS: Apologies if the above blatant advertising is against forum rules. Happy to delete the lik, if prompted! 🤷‍♂️

We had one(?) around our garden shed, (c. 6-7m from the house) also feasting on fallen bird food. Job No 1 was to block it's path/effect a detour. It doesn't necessarily need to be impenetrable. They simply hate change apparently, so anything that may re-route them (to the neighbours!) helps. Sadly our second job was to cease all bird feeding, so as to remove the temptation. 12 months have since passed. No sighting and/or evidence of ratty returning. 🤞

Well it won't be that, as @admira's real name is Sue! 🙄

He passed us on the way up the A46 on Friday...

I knew you wouldn't let me down mate. Cheers. 😉👍

It really doesn't matter mate. Just as long as the players don the Derby County uniform, and stick their cleats turfside on the field, we'll be reet.

A quick check* shows Wendies have just averaged c. 26,700 in The Championship. In 22/23, it was c. 25,600, admittedly in L1. 21/22 = c. 22,900 in L1 20/21 = N/A 19/20 = c. 23,700 in The Champs. I then considered checking to see when they last averaged your "30k plus", but I feared that may waste a good chunk of my Bank Holiday Monday, and let's face it, I've already made a point with the above info. *Stats taken from here... https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/championship/attendances/2019-2020

I appreciate gloating ain't for everyone, but there's always the option to just butt out, and leave the gloaters to gloat for an hour or so! And as for that big black cloud following you around everywhere, can I interest you in one of these...

fallin'... apart... AGAIN!

Unlike The Saints! Hahahahahahahaha... ha

It comes to us all, mate. Try the XXL.

Probably scanning again at the top of the stairs (after the concourse) in place of manual steward checks for the safe standing doodah? I hasten to add, I am 100% guessing! 🤷‍♂️

But an FA Cup final win has always resulted in a trophy, and a trip to Europe. Giants like Southampton, Wimbledon, Coventry, Portsmouth, Wigan, and even Fester, have been awarded thus, in the dark distant past. Regardless of opinion on Man U, we shouldn't begrudge an FA Cup Winner the entry into Europe. It's about all the competion has going for it nowadays. The once famous competition is nigh on dead on it's arse as it is!

Just remember... once you do get a new holder... leave the card in. The card doesn't need to be removed every game to gain entry. The card only needs to be held close to the scanner, not literally inserted into the slot reader thing. Much like a chip and pin card doesn't need to actually make contact to the reader. Very close is good enough (and more hygenic for the anti-bac brigade), and still in the wallet works fine. (You may have to open up the wallet?) That should extend the life of a cheapy/plasticy holder/wallet.

You should have confused the young 'uns by telling them Sunderland scored a last minute winner. 🤣

Following my earlier post this morning, it got a tad worse for the next half hour or so. a good 10-15 seconds to turn each page. Been out since then, and just returned... it now seems to be running like a well oiled machine that's just had an extra dose of oil from the senior oilcan technician. 😁👍

No. But just to clarify, only new buyers and/or those changing seats/age category etc are to get a new card. All straightforward renewals are to retain the card from last season.
