Poor guy, just goes to show you have to be careful and take nothing for granted.

@Fan of Big Tone: There aren’t many nicer places to end up getting stuck, though it sounds like a nightmare, and it’s a good thing you managed to resolve the issue. I love the area; I have fond memories of walking around it a few times. You'll suss it out in no time; YouTube is useful for finding how-to videos. I am pleased to say that Cheeky and I installed Super's new electric fire. She ordered it only a few days ago, and it said the delivery would be by the 24th if I recall correctly. Well, last night she had an email saying it would be out for delivery, and that they would give us a one-hour delivery slot in the morning. So, an early but productive start for me. Cheeky woke me up after getting the time; we walked round and were pleased to have everything sorted. The delivery guy was very friendly; he didn't seem to know which house it was as he was taking it toward Super's neighbours. After taking a quick photo, he asked if I needed help taking it in. I didn't need the help, but appreciated him offering. The old fire was dismantled and broken down to be thrown away. Unfortunately, Super wasn't in the mood to have a photo, so here's the fire. 😇😁

I don't recall ever seeing it as it's shown in the image, so it's nice to see how the area has changed and appreciate what it used to be like. Growing up, you hear relatives say how things have changed, usually for the worse, and you think it's not that bad. Then you grow up, see how much further things have changed and how eye-sores have been ruining the sights. The loop continues, and it won't be long until Jake is doing the same or my daughters.

"They did what they were told and had to do." Certainly not them all; take a bow, Adélade Haas Hautval and we thank you for your efforts to treat those who deserved to be treated better during the war with kindness and consideration. A true hero, for refusing to partake in cruel treatment.

I won't say anything political, just that it's a shame we can't resolve our homelessness problems like other nations. I think Sweden has done immense work with this. Does anyone know what Lou did to be given his OBE? No trying to suggest it's not deserved, just curious.

You have to adapt with the times; Shane Meadows is brilliant, but he's captured eras meaningful to him and what he knows. Nottingham isn't as gritty as it used to be, and if something is good it will be aired. I once spoke to William Ivory and asked him about Truckers. He said it was something different and that the BBC liked it. How many similar things can you write about? Does it have to be gritty? Most dramas are based on 'working class'. It's hardly like every TV drama, sitcom, film, etc, is like The Crown. Or Downton Abbey for that matter, but that is most likely the slant that the journalist took from it.

Sounds like Her Ladyship likes to keep you and Mrs D Pie on your toes. 😁 I'm not that good at multitasking, but I can imagine utensils are useful for reaching the keyboard. 😂

@McPie It's a fair point; I would hope the majority of our fan base understands this too. We need to establish ourselves, and the jump is much better than most will ever be able to fathom. We are much better defensively, and for the most part have played well beyond a single half of 45 minutes. I think I cursed it when I said we could perform for 70 minutes, mind, but I think the progress is good.

There might have been the odd returning or fringe player who needs minutes for fitness, though who knows.

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @BHAGuiseley. It's great to have you on board, as we do like to see the thoughts and opinions of opposition fans, and we hope you stay around beyond the game. Take a little time to familiarise yourself with the site; I hope you enjoy being part of our Notts County community, and I look forward to reading your views.

I probably know him by name or face. It’s very sad to learn about his passing. May he rest in peace.

The State of the Game report highlighted that a significant number of clubs would struggle to survive for even a few months without owner funding, so I understand why the regulator wants clubs to build up cash reserves. It's an attempt to make clubs more resilient rather than simply limit spending. However, I do have some sympathy for smaller clubs. While wealthier clubs may be able to build these reserves fairly comfortably, others may find it difficult to set aside that level of money without affecting their normal operations. It will be interesting to see whether the three-year transition period gives those clubs enough time to adapt.

BBC loves a good League Club vs Non-League Team, and they have previously picked up other teams from the first round onwards. So, I do think there's a good chance we will. It helps that we have been drawn to Guiseley AFC who beat Sutton United. A Northern Premier League team vs League One Notts County. Fingers crossed; it does, because it would appeal, IMHO. 🤞🏻
