  1. The Channel tunnel has reduced Ferry traffic and that in turn has lost jobs and that is a big regret. The loss of British Sea jobs to cheap overseas labour is for another Topic, as that development is not really directly connected to the channel tunnel. It's symptomatic with what has been happening in big swathes of our industry.
  2. British ingenuity & inventiveness at its best. The codebreaking at Bletchley Park was arguably one of the top 3 reasons why Germany was defeated in World War 2 & we owe our freedom today to all those who worked at Bletchley Park.
  3. The Eurotunnel was founded on a good principle to connect mainland Europe with the UK, but it has become a huge white elephant. When I've visited Europe, I've always used the Ferry system, and it's much more interesting and fun to cross by Sea Ferry The Sea Ferry system has always been the cornerstone of cross channel travel. We managed very well before the Euro tunnel and we would manage if it wasn't there.
  4. Brit watch summing up the day. Cameron Norrie won his 2nd round match to advance to the 3rd round, however, Katie Boulter, Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu lost their 2nd round matches today leaving Norrie the only Brit left in the Singles.
  5. A win for Henry Patten and his Partner in the Australian Open Men's Doubles.
  6. Cam Norrie comes from 2 sets down to reach the 3rd Round.
  7. @Burnz3r0 It is very hard to imagine how immense the Universe is. The simplest way of describing how immense it is, is to compare the Earth to the size of an Atom and the Earth represents the size of the Universe. An Atom is too small to be seen even by the most powerful microscopes, so that miniscule size just puts things into context. By the way, the new discovery is truely awesome.
  8. Andy had a big hip problem at the end of 2016 and it got worse in 2017. He had two operations the last one being resurfacing of his hip. Normally this would have been career ending, but Andy proved them all wrong. His comeback has been fraught with setbacks but he managed to get back up to the middle forties in the rankings, but he is slower than at his peak and this has not helped him. I think he'll retire after Wimbledon this year.
  9. Welcome to PON@Harry Buckley great to have you on board.
  10. At the end of the day we have player assets at the club that are pretty valuable at this time. I hope that we don't have to sell those assets, but that will always be an option if needed. I believe the brothers have the club's finances well in control anyway.
  11. Latest forecast.
  12. I'll start you off with mine. There are so many to choose from but my favourite is "The Goodies", slapstick at its best, utterly silly and ridiculous that you could never stop laughing. Here's a flavour.
  13. Stoke City 2 Notts County 2, First Division, May 1982, featuring Trevor Christie penalty & a screamer from Pedro Richards.
  14. Some players love to play footy in the mud.
  15. Jason Lee, who played for almost everybody, well almost seemed like it. He only played two games for Stockport. Jason played 69 games for Notts and scored 16 goals from 2006/8
  16. This is very exciting news 2 new appointments to work with our Notts County Women and Girls. Ashley Eastman appointed as FDP lead U7-U11 at NCWFC Danny Gordon appointed Head of Coaching at PDP at NCWFC.
  17. Well, we are halfway through Jim's 2nd week of being Interim Head Coach, and it very much appears that he will be in charge for the Stockport match.
  18. Mine is an Android. Have had Smart phone Android since Smart phone inception. They have always served me well. Can't conceive paying more than £150 for a smart phone.
  19. Couldn't agree more. We'll put. The top six are above the law.Thats the big problem in English football at the moment.
  20. I don't think Jim is going to make any changes to the side that drew 5:5 with Grimsby unless he is forced to do so by injury. The side will probably line up in a similar formation & the style of play will not alter. Stockport do leak a few goals so I'm confident we can score a few, it's just how many we concede at the other end concerns me Personally, I believe that Notts should be more cautious this game, because Stockport is another level above Grimsby, but I'm sure that the Notts way of playing "total football" will continue. I'm hoping for a score draw here I think that will be a good result on Saturday, if the game goes ahead as there are freezing conditions around at the moment. I'm going for 2:2 result.
  21. Joe Salisbury and his partner up and running at the Australian Open.
  22. Coldest night of the Winter recorded so far. Minus 14 Degrees in Scotland. It could get even colder tonight.
