    I disagree that we need BIG investment. Yes we need a strong hold up striker (as I doubt CKR is a long term solution) and centre back. We have not yet seen Duncan and Ibe and so as I have previously stated I think the current squad is already good enough to challenge for a top 6 place. It's just a shame Cocu was so inept at getting the best out of this squad.

    My wife kept her maiden name. No changing to mine, no double barrell stuff. In fact, sometimes I get called Mr Brennan, which is kind of weird but not an affront to my masculinity. I'm quite happy not to own her.

    Not eating these tonight, but will definitely sample part of one tomorrow.
    I decided to try my hand today at making a hand-raised pork pie (actually, I made two). In the process, I test-drove my new meat grinder - perhaps the best £25 I've spent recently that wasn't on beer. I must have read about 10 methods, and all the recipes were vastly different as far as the hot water pastry was concerned. Some had twice as much lard as water, some had twice as much water as lard, and so on. 
    Another issue was making the pastry case separate to the pie, by using a jar, bottle, dish or anything like that as a mould, then putting it in the fridge until the pastry hardened, then trying to remove the (uncooked) pastry from the outside of the mould without breaking/damaging it. In the end, I decided to just roll the pastry out, mould the meat into the dimensions I wanted and then hand-raise the pastry around that. It seemed to work fine.

    Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A mobile phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
    MAN: "Hello"
    WOMAN: "Hi Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
    MAN: "Yes."
    WOMAN: "I'm at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only £1,000; is it OK if I buy it?"
    MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."
    WOMAN:"I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked."
    MAN: "How much?"
    WOMAN: "£60,000." 
    MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
    WOMAN:"Great! Oh, and one more thing... I was just talking to Janie and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking £580,000 for it."
    MAN: "Well, then go ahead and make an offer of £500,000. They'll probably take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it's what you really want."
    WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!"
    MAN: "Bye! I love you, too."
    The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths wide open.
    He turns and asks, "Anyone know whose phone this is?"

    My husband purchased a world map and then gave me a dart and said, “Throw this and wherever it lands—that’s where I’m taking you when this pandemic ends.” Turns out, we’re spending two weeks behind the fridge.

    in a bid to keep Patrick from overheating this summer, I started throwing his ball into the paddling pool, meaning if he wanted to carry on playing, he’d have to retrieve it! It was initially half an hour of him trying to paw it out, scared to put his face into the water. After an hour, he was jumping straight in to grab the ball before it sunk. On Friday night, i was throwing in the frisbee and a heavier ball, forcing Patrick to submerge his face, which he eventually did in a bid to keep playing! 
     
    I was proud of myself, thought I was some sort of dog-whisperer, until his owner rang me on Sunday to tell me that he’d jumped into the stream to chase ducklings and then later, jumped in the pond to play with the Koi carp!!!

    Cheers everyone. The one thing I really didn’t want was to spend today in hospital. It’s been tough as because of Coronavirus we are limited to one parent staying and the other is only allowed 2-7. 
    She’s doing ok and is expected to make a full recovery, what happened on Tuesday has happened 4 times now (Tuesday was the 3rd) and they are finally acting on it. 
    I managed to see my wife and daughter on my birthday, it was only for 5 hours but it could have quite easily have been for none. 
    Thank you again to everyone, I just felt like I needed to vent yesterday to release a bit of frustration, disappointment, anger. 
    This photo sums up our relationship to a tee.

    Now then ladies and gentleman... firstly I hope you are all well and secondly sorry for the mother of rants which is about to unfold...
    As some may be aware from the ‘new parents’ thread I made last year I am lucky enough to now be the father of the most incredible little lady this planet has ever seen, also from that thread some of you may be aware that the pregnancy wasn’t all plain sailing. 
    Unfortunately neither does the living side seem to be. Our daughter had corrective surgery to save her life at 1 day old... in the next 44 days before coming home she would go on to have 5 collapsed lungs, 2 cardiac arrests, 1 blood transfusion, 7 ventilations, 2 more surgeries and numerous amount of pain relief/medication.
    last Friday though everything was brilliant and me and my wife were finally able to bring her home... the next few days were the best of my life and something that we were robbed of for the first month and a half of her life, we had numerous visitors and for to introduce her to her family.
    on Tuesday we went to the park with our other daughter as quite understandably she was quite overwhelmed and a bit jealous about her new little sister... whilst at the park I was feeding Clara-Leisa who subsequently stopped breathing and vomited blood through her mouth and nose. I had to do CPR in the middle of the park on her as the air ambulance (absolutely amazing) and 2 road ambulances turned up. 
    Thankfully I managed to get her breathing again and the incredible paramedics and drs kept her going and she’s on the mend.
    i don’t really know the purpose of this post but just felt it would possibly help to have a Release.
    photo’s included of how she is today as I realise what I’ve written is traumatic and we could be a lot worse...
