What they are proposing is similar to the play offs in the National League - the only difference will be the semi finals will be played over two legs rather than one. It does mean a team scrape into 8th place in the league and get promoted as Kiddy did a few seasons ago

Would it mean that a team could be both relegated and qualify for the playoffs offs - asking for a Florida based businessman

I bet he can sweat now

Crowded Housemartins

Neil Yungblud?

Thank you

Thanks Joe - much appreciated

Thanks Anil - yes it hasn‘t been easy - they were old but still a shock to lose them both so close together

It is

Thanks Christian - appreciated

Thanks Own - appreciated

Thanks Raj - much appreciated

Thanks Chris - thankfully she was only ill for a short period of time and she went peacefully in her sleep

As Oscar Wilde said “To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness“ Sadly we must have been very careless as just 11months after we lost our father, our mother left us last night. We were fortunate to have such lovely parents. I hope he has waited for her.

Thanks for that Peter - very interesting. Shame it’s all turned a bit sour with the original band. She is performing in Brum in Jan and in Nottingham in Feb if you are interested

Enjoy your retirement Mark - you have earned it!

Radiohead at the O2 last night - incredible

Jimmy Cliff at Mostly Jazz in 2018 - sad news to hear he had gone RIP

Would agree with that - enjoyed Stranger Things but found myself so much more absorbed by Dark. The story is so intricate and the acting is superb. Being just thee seasons was good as well - kept the script very tight.

Indeed

I watched it all about a month ago and found it compulsive viewing even if I wasn’t always sure what was going on. There are a few fans sites and one had a family tree which I found myself referring to in the third season. Brilliant television.

Oh no - that’s dreadful news Chris. You must be absolutely devastated. Our thoughts and condolences are with you all at this difficult time.

Gillian Welch and David Rawlings at the Palladium tonight - fourteen years after I last saw them and still as spellbinding

It’s beginning…….

I hope those calling for the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans to attend the game will be as free with their opinions when it comes to discussing the cost of the police operation that will be needed if they do

Still defiant - the incomparable Patti Smith at the Palladium

@antondeck.bsky.social @mrwalnuts.bsky.social One of the sad things about the demise of Twitter is when an email like this arrives there is no one to share it with

Barefoot in the Park
Butch Cassidy &The Sundance Kid
All the President’s Men
The Sting
Three Days of the Condor

What a beautiful legacy - RIP

The funny think about punk was that you ended up pretending that you hated music that you really loved and Supertramp were one of those acts - so rest easy Rick - despite what my younger self said, I always had a soft spot for Breakfast in America

Easy to ridicule but at least he has a smoke detector fitted - can’t defend the nation if your house is burning down after all
