    ImARam2 got a reaction from cstand in The coronabrexit thread. I mean, coronavirus thread   
    Whenever I had to go overseas to work and live (over 24 years), I carried a NHS Vaccination Certificate, and later an Innoculation Record, which was issued by a private medical company called IHG, and I've still got them.
    The NHS Certificate shows that I had the TAB (typhoid and paratyphoid A&B), followed by the Cholera jabs, in March and May 1983, respectively.
    The IHG records shows that I had the Menengitis A&C jabs in June 1988; TAB 1&2 in Sept. 1988 and Cholera in November 1988.
    Later on whilst I was with an international oil company, it was mandatory that I had the booster jabs for Polio, Typhoid, Yellow Fever and Cholera, which were all administered in March; May & September 2003, respectively.
    In 2019, when I went out to India, and I had a further jabs for Yellow Fever and Typhoid.
    And, I can assure you, if you ever wish to work and live in the Middle East or Asian countries, you will not be able to do so without all or most of the above vaccines.
    Now, by carrying these certificates and records, where does it have any impact on my civil liberties? The conspiracy theories that the younger generation have in their heads just astound me and they have certainly had sheltered lives.

    The 3 clubs to be relegated, in my opinion, will be:
    Wycombe - not good enough over the whole season
    Rotherham - 'thuggish hoof ball' team, with no finesse.
    Birmingham - in deep problems, on and off the field
    Sheffield Wed. & Coventry have just about enough to stay up. Forest I'm not bothered about and they have enough 'quality' (!!) to reach mid-table alongside the Rams.

    You think the 1970's look shabby, then you should have seen how poor everything was in the 1950's!!!
    Having being brought up in the Arboreteum / Normanton districts, playing in amongst the old air raid shelters, the back-to-back terraced houses, all with dark, dank cellars and outside lavatories, were not really the 'good old days' to hear about.
    I'm not trying to parody the 'Yorkshire men' skit, but things were very poor, with little money to go around, especially for my father who had escaped from Poland during WWII.

    As it's my birthday today, we are celebrating with a starter of an apertifif of champagne, olives & salmon bruschetta. 
    Followed by Medallions of Fillet Steak, with potatoes & vegatables, accompanied with a beautiful bottle of South African Stellonbosch Merlot.
    And for dessert it will be an Italian cheesecake.
    Dinner begins at 6.30 pm, so I'm now off the freshen up!!

    The 'Dom Polski' club on Osmaston Road, Derby was set up by the Poles, mainly, but not exclusively, for ex-Polish pilots, and in the 1970's/80's it became a nightclub/disco.
    The 'Dom Polski' has been shut down for over 15 years, however, the Polish Catholic Club on Kedleston Road, Derby, which opened in the 1950's, is still going strong and anyone can become a member.
    To answer an earlier question, unfortunately my father is longer with us, however, he became a British citizen in 1952, the year I was born, after having to wait 5 years for naturalisation and because he longer had any family remaining after WWII, he fully ensconced into the English way of life, enjoying a pint, his home and watching Derby County.
    A story about the Rams that he told me, was back in about 1948, as be was leaving the BBG, Derby were drawing but scored in the last minute to win. That goal cost him about £40 from the football pools, which was worth about a month's pay back then.

    Hurricane - which is the true story of the RAF 303 Squadron, all piloted by the Poles.
    Incredible flying in which in just 8 weeks from mid-August to October 1940, (they weren't allowed to be operational sooner because they weren't trusted or could understand enough of the English language), they shot down over 200 German aircraft, with minimal losses compared to other squadrons, which amounted to 20% of the German losses during the Battle of Britain.
    After the war they were treated awfully, with nearly 60% of British people wanting them to be sent back to Poland, where they would have been either sent to prison, tortured and in some cases executed by the Communists.
    They weren't even allowed to attend or march in the 1946 Victory Parade in London and were given the most meaningless jobs.
    This is true because my father was one of them.

    This Easter Bank Holiday Monday will be 54 years to the day in 1963 that my Father took me to see the Rams for the first time at the BBG, and my memories have not diminished from that first time.
    We played Middlesborough and we stood in the Osmaston End paddock, next to the players tunnel and behind the small wooden dugout. I can't remember the attendance or all who scored, however, I do remember that Derby were losing 3-1 with 5 minutes remaining but we scored twice in those final minutes to draw 3-3.
    I have so many memories of following the Rams, home and away, as well as many anecdotes of glories and failures, and despite being pilloried by other club's supporters when I was based overseas, it will always be that first experience which set me on a path of following Derby County football Club.
