Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Stuart McNeil. I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community. I hope you enjoy being a member of it.

The Reedtz plan to allocate a significant portion of their budget towards acquiring new players for their team. I have had a quick look at the free agent list. There are some decent players, which I think will be picked up by League One or Championship teams. Young players from Premier League teams whose deals aren't being renewed. It's good to know what finances the club gets in League Two.

Union Berling? Has this team renamed from something else? They seem to have done fantastically well. I am not familiar with their name. I wish Mainz had won. Only two teams usually win in the German league, and Bayern is one of them. They often buy players from other clubs, weakening the league.

I liked Aaron Collins; his turn of pace and reading of the game was quite good when he came here on loan. It did seem weird that we were loaning a player from Newport, but the same could be said when we took Jimmy Knowles in on loan. Both strikers looked very promising, Collins looked a lot more adapted to life in the Football League.

@AmericanPie I can see your prediction and thoughts coming true, I don't think Kyle Cameron will leave. He's settled, and I am not sure any clubs that might be interested can match or better what we offer him right now. Ruben Rodrigues is the main one, whilst I do agree that he may sign a new deal. I could see something like what happened with Cal Roberts occurring during the season. In any case, we really need the majority of the players offering new deals to agree upon them.

It's not about whether we like them, it's about a football team experiencing a tough time which we have also gone through before. My personal opinion doesn't come into this, I just wish them all the best. I hope the club manages to resolve the issues they're facing, it's never nice to see any team struggle like this, and it's for that reason I think football comes first. Fingers crossed they can get out of the mess they're in.

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @HarryNCFC0, it's great to have you on board. I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community. A big YOOOOUUUU PIIEEESSS, to you!

Hello, @Ohh Tommy Johnson. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. It's nice to be welcoming you to our Notts County community. I hope you enjoy being a part of it.

@Fan of Big Tone The URLs can be fiddly for some reason, hopefully from here it will be fine.

@AmericanPie: I will compile a list of suggestions, but if you're in the market for a Windows based machine and don't mind the price - the Surface Pro 9 is a beast. You could consider dropping back to the 5th generation model, which should be more than efficient for what you want and considerably cheaper. However, as a long term investment it could be worthwhile going for the latest provided the price on point with what you are willing to spend.

@Fan of Big Tone are you using an iPhone or something else? It could be a bug related to that. https://twitter.com/Official_NCFC/status/1661748976645988354 Can you try this link, paste it in as plain text. Then press enter/return to give it space; you should get it to embed then.

I had no expectations of Jodi Jones liking, responding or even using the image. I just enjoy doing stuff like this. Thanks for the kind comments, everyone.

@Fan of Big Tone Wages should increase, especially when politicians get rises. Striking can be effective but impacts others. Companies should pay for mistakes using their own resources. It's unjust to shift the financial burden onto consumers. Holding companies accountable will motivate them to avoid errors and uphold integrity. The Railway, NHS, Royal Mail, teachers etc. deserve better pay. It's frustrating when it impacts your life. Some people face financial difficulties due to their spending behaviours. It's a terrible time; we've stopped doing best by others and started thinking more about ourselves. This wouldn't happen in a post-World War UK. It's down to individuals. Think about the bigger picture and do your best when possible. When people work long hours and still use food banks, there are deeper systemic issues than just inadequate wages. Sometimes you have to look for work elsewhere that pays better.

I enjoy a wide range of music, that's much to the thanks of my parents for playing all sorts of music from Irish folk songs, 60s, 70s, 80s music. Personally, I am partial to the music and culture of the 1980s. There is something about it that speaks to me and captures my attention. The vibrant music, fashion, and overall attitude of the era are all fascinating to me. I can't help but feel drawn to it, even decades later. The 80s just have a certain charm and excitement that I find hard to resist. I used to always listen to Absolute Radio's 80s station, but I haven't for a long time now. I do like the 90s era, I know other members have said that they didn't but as a 90s kid it's hard not too. Most things beyond the 00s and to modern time tend to drive me crazy. Yet, my real love and passion is Pop-Punk. Bands like Blink 182, I also like SKA music such as Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger, The Aquabats etc. My youngest daughter frequently wonders how I manage to memorize the lyrics to so many songs. It's all thanks to the amazing power that music has to stick in our minds, especially when we enjoy it. We can forget what we did 10 years ago, but you will remember the lyrics to a lot of songs released during that time if you are listening to the music at that point.

@yelobeli came out of nowhere. I actually thought he was a new member as I didn't recall his username, but I was surprised to see 2016 as their joined date.

Ollie had followed PON, I want to say a week before Wembley. I had meant to message him, basically to praise his efforts and to introduce myself. However, I didn't find the time. I have since sent him a DM wishing him all the best and thanking him. Ollie came across as a very passionate sports writer; it's a shame that he's being forced out as he does well. You can't buy the type of connection he had with fans, and I'm afraid, Nottingham Post are shooting themselves constantly in the foot. It's a poor decision by them, yet they will find someone with other titles and roles within their organisation to offload more burden onto. As others have said, it's the company and people higher up who suck.

I don't believe the tweet, I think he's picking up on what others have said and is adding his own spice to make him sound more credible. If both players want to make it happen, then they'd have struck an agreement at this stage. The fact that's added, it just reads like nonsense to me. Now I do believe there's genuine interest, but I don't believe that tweet.

Likewise with @liampie. I always try to support Australia, but I feel they've become quite dirty over the last few years. Columbia is a great place to be in. I had a soft spot for Mexico once. Other than that, I try to support nations that are considered to be underdogs.

@Super_Danny_Allsopp is busy with his life, as is @Cobby. @KB1862 and @TheCalFoster will be around, they just tend to be busy from time to time. I have invited @MuddyPatchPie back, I have seen her listed as active users in the last 24 hours a few times. @Riverleeno I have no idea, I last saw him at Notts, and he donated £5 to me which was a very kind gesture. I have a text file I have stored with many members I intend to invite back, the main thing is to have people who want to contribute. They get what we're about as a community, otherwise it's like Notts, when you have players who don't care about the club. There are so many wonderful members, but if they choose to be elsewhere, that's their decision. I respect it, I don't think less of anyone.

I'm not fond of Apple because they seem to prioritize their proprietary ecosystem over collaborating with external parties. Additionally, their repair policies strike me as somewhat unethical. These factors make me less inclined to support the company. Whilst I am a big fan of their OS, I don't like how they release something that they sell at a rather expensive price and then after a few years, expect you to upgrade. It just a cash cow, even Samsung are falling into this pattern. Yes, indeed. I am sure there are others who would give their opinion too. The main thing is to go with a trusted brand; cheap ones always tend to have pitfalls. I mean, brands notoriously known for underselling their products. You'll have to double check carriers, but something like this an affordable but efficant tablet. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/1136203?istCompanyId=a74d8886-5df9-4baa-b776-166b3bf9111c&istFeedId=c290d9a9-b5d6-423c-841d-2a559621874c&istItemId=rwxlpatll&istBid=t&&cmpid=GS001&_$ja=tsid:59157|acid:804-627-9544|cid:16587510428|agid:134082819109|tid:pla-1965655100627|crid:587944422370|nw:u|rnd:1964271105100072679|dvc:c|adp:|mt:|loc:9046403&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=16587510428&utm_term=1136203&utm_content=shopping&utm_custom1=134082819109&utm_custom2=804-627-9544&GPDP=true&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjryjBhD0ARIsAMLvnF9Y5KRtk5wDHEkM6FddYpJAWIKYZn83oJjBIJzH8WuTC7SmmOvCnYkaArniEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Unfortunately, their reliability is not up to par and can be quite disappointing. They've thrown Wrexham in there just for the sake of it; can you imagine us selling Macaulay Langstaff to Wrexham? Our supporters base would be annoyed and quite rightly so. I suppose knowing that Football League World makes up nonsense should be a good thing for us. Mangling a story, with fiction and calling it an "exclusive". right. Clickbait at it's worst.

@super_ram Aye, but I am curious if you remember me telling you. I still think it's nothing more than Ruben being watched by one of your scouts, if he was to move to Derby then at least he's off to a good team.

I actually started working on this cover back when Jodi signed on loan, I didn't get very far with it. However, I thought I would persist and with him signing permanently I thought it would be worth sharing it with him.

He should do it because I told him about the rumour ages ago. I actually didn't believe it personally, but it did come from someone that I wouldn't say is a liar, but I thought it might have been a windup. Supposedly they and other clubs have been closely monitoring him. i wonder if the same person told Ade about the Derby interest, although I could tell @super_ram a number of rumours, and he will be like, "I'll believe it when it happens."

Well done @Fan of Big Tone and @Fozzy. I used to enjoy the occasional cider, but I only drink one now on special occasions, usually if out having a family meal. Otherwise, I don't drink alcohol because for the last 4 years I have been focusing heavily on my health. When I had kidney stones, I was told then that drinking alcohol wouldn't be good for me. I was encouraged to drink plenty of water, which I do, but I admit I went through a spell where I drank nothing but water with one drink of orange and lemonade, drinking less water. I had a pre-diabetic scare, I still do, but I have managed to lower my blood sugar levels. This getting older malarkey isn't fun. Yet provided I can keep my joints strong and avoid dislocations as much as possible, spend quality time with my family and children. Whilst losing weight and avoiding further health complications (not just diabetes) I will consider myself thankful.
