I only thought about this as just found out the London Smog was in the 1950s and not closer to 1850s.

Remember 70s pea soupers?

Don’t go through Parkgate when there’s a potato delivery to the chippy when the bin men are due.

Woken by a slightly bigger snoot today.

I think he kicked my hound off the bed at 5.30.

Maybe we need to employ a set piece specialist with experience at a team known for their set piece play.

I’ve got something similar.

Just had a root canal and a filling as there’s a potential that a hairline fracture will get infected.

If there’s no issue in 6 months then a crown or alternatively an extraction.

Maybe worth having a chat with the dentist just in case they can help.

If anyone is watching Corro then I hope they also shouted I bet you have a stiffy in there now though.

Yep…I can accept there is good stuff out there that’s too β€˜cool’ for me but I can’t see anything decent about the 4 items I saw.

Hmmm…I did think that but the cord suit isn’t exactly standard formality for a wedding.

Cheers re the tie. This one was bought in a clearance at M&S for a couple of quid but it’s pretty nice.

Definitely in the top two.

I should have asked this bloke on the train last week where he bought his beauties from.

I’ve got a wedding this weekend and am wearing my corduroy suit for the first time so need to decide shoes.

I think the dark brown suede shoes are too similar to the suit, the tan brogues too different so either burgundy brogues or mid brown suede boots.

Decisions, decisions…

Tom is fine with fireworks but Feliway works a treat with calming him for vet visits or other travel.

The plug in and spray work well for us.

I’m not being anti-white when dismissing the flag shaggers.

West Midlands Police are not being antisemitic by banning the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans.

I’m not saying the WMP are not antisemitic as I have no knowledge on that but it’s a different point.

We lost games we deserved to lose earlier in the season and are still 2nd.

We look a bit more solid now but nowhere near the team of 2 -5 seasons ago but still 2nd.

Other teams should be well ahead of us. I’m not complaining though.

What are goalposts for, if not for moving.

Absolutely, that looks like a very nice padded overshirt to me.

NB I didn’t cheat like this on my 12 months not buying a coat.

30 years ago I’d have ripped into you for this.

No LinkedIn, I’m not on a roll with you.

Unless on a roll is classed as just deleting the emails you send me.

Based on recent seasons I don’t think they have the right mentality to finish the job.

They could/should have won instead of City 2 seasons ago and also last season instead of Liverpool.

I’ve watched City this season and they’re overall pretty poor.

I’ve seen Liverpool on TV and what I have seen they’ve also been poor.

What a bad reflection on this seasons Premier League that one of them will win it.
