    Holidays in Rhyl

    Went there probably 3 or 4 times in the 80s. Used to love the Sun Centre, but the place was pretty grim aside that.

    In October, I went over there to meet some family as my younger brother was playing Bowls for Scotland in the Home Nations competition there. The place has been severely neglected for so long that it's saddening. But they were clearly trying to spruce the place up. It was dead though.

    Back in the 80s, or maybe early 90s, we went 2 consecutive years. It was okay the first year, but the following year, the decline was rapid and shocking. We stayed in same hotel, but everything around us was boarded up, there were prostitutes on the street outside and dealers and pimps around. My dad cut the holiday short after about 3 days and then we went to Penzance the following year.

    FA Cup final day, and the pomp, build up and helicopter coverage and the charity games with Daley Thompson, Rod Stewart and a bunch of actors playing. Coverage also free to air on both BBC and ITV, with 3pm kick off. I used to love the roar when the winning captain raised the trophy. The losing fans would also stay behind and watch instead of rushing away.

    sometimes attitude is enough to bring some mid-level success. I don't see us struggling in the Championship, should we manage to get there. There'll be plenty of clubs with crap attitudes that could fall below us.

    my girlfriend was moaning her knives weren't sharp enough, me, being the hero I am, got out my Kitchen Devil knife sharpening tool and proceeded to sharpen her set of knives.

    Three days later, washing the pots, with the cutlery in the bottom of the bowl, I happened to feather one of the aforementioned knives with my finger tip and now have the tiniest looking, but most inconveniently positioned, japs-eye looking, painful little mo-fo of a cut on the end of my middle finger and I keep catching it on things and squealing. It hurts like a GibsonBamford!

    I would post a picture, but the mockery would be unbearable.

    I may be in a minority here, but think the feeling of hatred towards Mel is too much. He gambled, and thought he was too clever for his own good, and for Derby's good, but in reality, his intentions were true and good.

    Lionel Pickering left Derby County in administration, and opened the pathway for the Three Amigos to get control of the club. Lionel is held in high regard. But his judgement was poor too.

    Double standards.

    when you buy something, and then are immediately consumed with emails from that company trying to sell you what you just bought, as if you didn't manage to find them when you needed to buy what you bought!

    Two examples.

    1, Booked some flights via TUI about 10 days ago. Within a week, I've had to unsubscribe as was getting 3 emails a day from them

    2, Booked airport parking this morning. Already received 3 emails trying to sell me insurance, lounge access and more parking.

    I miss knowing exactly what caused whichever pain or injury I’m feeling at any given time! 
     

    I miss that (perhaps deluded) feeling that people in power feared being held accountable for their bad behaviour! 
     

    I miss when every temporary traffic light WASN’T a three-way control! 
     

    I miss the feeling that all humans mattered and the masses would fight for the ethical treatment of others instead of labelling everything a conspiracy. 
     

    I miss George Michael’s creative genius 

    I miss my amazing Gran Wendy x

    Nah.  Marriott only came on due to an injury.  The spectacular Jozefzoon I believe.

    What’s your point? Many games have mitigated factors. 
     

    I still screamed my head off. That come back would never have happened under a long list of most of our last 25yrs worth of managers!
