Where are they now? Calvin Miller
I didn't dream that he signed for Chesterfield after leaving us, correct? I thought he was very good when he played in the right position, very good at getting forward and skillful enough to take on players in a way that made them not want to dive in with challenges. He wasn't consistent, but he put a lot of effort into his performance and usually I felt he was let down by others not pulling their own weight around him.

Oldham have signed Ollie Norburn.
Having watched Oldham last season, they have someone who can do the dirty work that they didn't have previously and will have a no-no-nonsense midfielder that gets stuck in. I hope Oldham fans look forward to seeing him take on Chesterfield, and rekindling that Armando Dobra rivalry. They should start chanting The Cranberries 'Zombie'. Though changed to, "He's in your head, in your head, Drobra, Drobra, Drobra.. "Ollie Norburn, Ollie Norburn, Norburn, Norburn, Norburn..."

Community Health Discussion
@StarkMallard Yes, I have been watching that Dr. Now show. He helps people lose weight, and the information is really helpful. Not that I am that big, but the calorie counting and intake is so vital to losing weight. I am guilty of thinking I am being healthier with a diet, when it still isn't all that much but then there's medication that doesn't help with side effects of weight gain. Some good advice shared by you, I hope you are still trying to adapt to the healthier lifestyle. =)

Accessibility Theme Options: Is It a Good Idea?
I am in the process of designing some themes, and some added benefits that are to be included is an accessibility element. I might build it as an application that can further improve the theme side options and detect the themes I create so that they are compatible, easily managed and able to make a difference to those who need it. @Robbie Would any kind soles please give me their thoughts, I know this isn't Notts related and it's only somewhat PON related. Yet I do know some people have difficulties seeing, and with my own pre-disbetes there are times when my vision is poor. So, this would help make a difference in those periods. It's not about me, but providing something of use to the community here.

Weekly Chat Monday 1st to Sunday 7th June
Still coding and actually enjoying it a lot more, I think I might be addicted but it's a good way to relax. I am just taking 10 minutes here and there to comment, as I acknowledge I should be doing other things too. I am going to give Super a call later, and tomorrow I will be whipping him up some meals to help him throughout the next week or so. 😊 Yes, have a wonderful time @Fan of Big Tone and spoil Mrs T rotten!

What’s everyone listening to?
I have been listening a lot to "They Might be Giants". I found out a few years ago that they sang some songs from my childhood. I didn't know these songs were by the band famous for the "You're not the boss of me" theme from Malcolm in the Middle.

Community Health Discussion
As some will know, I have experienced health concerns, and have been trying to lose weight for a number of years. My last visit to my local nurse led to me having an appointment with a nutritionist in person and she was wonderful. Some of her tips I had never known about, and as a result I do feel like I am losing weight. I still struggle to walk, that's expected but I can get around with help on bad days and mostly experience much nicer days. It's more my back pain that persists and makes me retreat to laying down; it's the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I can't compare it to any dislocation I have experienced, not even having dislocated both of my knees whilst at work because my line manager expected me to fully clean the back storage room, and move two indrusturial double fridge freezers to deep clean them and the walls behind (I wished I had requested to break it down throughout the week but the kitchen staff I worked with were horrible people). Currently I am on a stricter diet, and have reduced the amount of pop that I drink. I had water prior but I did have a couple of cans a day of Tango and what I call Reggie Reggie Juice. I'm not back on mostly water, and a sugar-free apple Tango. What about you? Are you on a diet? Do you enjoy fitness as a means to keep fit and healthy? What have you been doing recently? Let's support each other, encourage changes that make an impact on each of our lives.

Salford City Sack Head Coach Karl Robinson.
It's probably a good thing Karl Robinson has gone, I don't like him personally but he's better than Salford City for sure. Yet the guys as plastic as they come, someone will pay him good money and he'll take charge. Good manager, I don't like his attitude or twofaced nature but the guy seemed to deserve better. I read David Beckham lips at half-time, when the cameras settled on him and I can tell he said "The second-half needs to be better, this isn't good enough". I commented at the time to Jake, that it seemed Karl was underpressure. I think the amount of money they spend is beyond a joke, I have no idea if they still have a documentary or if the class of 92 still doing anything of that likes for Salford City but the club isn't being run properly. It doesn't matter how much money they have, or the person said to hold the majority share hold now. It's the club that operates at the end of the day, and it needs to be as close to the net even as possible. I am well aware this isn't common in football, but they are throwing money and risking Salford. If they get bored, or the investers decide they no longer want to payroll an unsuccessful club who will cover the debts?

Patterson
What have I been saying for years about FLW? I have spent years building an honest, non-clickbait or bad practices when it comes to content management. These are one of the reasons why I am so against clickbait and false articles, and it annoys me greatly that people don't learn and continue to give them clicks. They are using AI instead of Photoshop to falsely present images, not just of Matin Paterson but horrific generated article imaes which they should be making clear that AI is being used. I wouldn't waste my time reading their content, although I did after seeing a friend comment on one of their peices about a negative Notts fan and their views on Cal Roberts, I checked because I wouldn't put it past them to falsely use what I or other people write. They are worse than newspapers when it comes to rage and clickbait. They are misleading fans, and I'm surprised they haven't had legal problems with some of their actions. Don't trust bad practices because good people don't do those things, and they don't deserve your time. I wonder if Karl Robinson will end up there, you know, between spending time with his family of course.

Max Sanders to Notts.
Max Sanders has always impressed me when I have seen him play, he's a good technical player that should be a more polished player in a squad like ours. I think we'll enable him to show his best and get the most out of him; as a player with experience in the ELF I think it's a fantastic addition to the team. He looks like the player who will come in to take over from Ollie Norburn did for us last season.

@Michael D Pie.: I have never seen a bathtub used to store drinking water for farm animals. I have seen those big double farm sinks used in the past though, and when I dug up my back garden I found 3 of them all in perfect condition (well once cleaned). No chips or anything, a friend sold two of them and the third he installed into his kitcehn. I hope one day, that bath doesn't end up under ground only to be reused in the future.

@Fan of Big Tone: The first real computer I used at school was an Apple PC, a very early version before Windows became popuplar. I enjoyed using its painting application. I haven't used a Mac, but I do like how efficiant they are and how even the lower end specs still perform well. Though, despite all these people claiming to jump on the Linux bandwagon just because Microsoft keeps adding thngs, and dropping the ball. I wouldn't switch because I feel comfortable with the OS. Everyone finds their own preference, so it's interesting to see your response.
