Just had a call from the owner of the cottage we are staying in and they have had quite heavy snow the schools are closing but the roads are clear at the moment, she says we can get there earlier than the 4pm check in so we aren’t travelling in the dark. She sounds really nice. Hopefully the weather is improving and the snow will be gone.

Guess who’s going to Yorkshire tomorrow for a week! I don’t mind snow when we’re there but not to drive in while we travel there.

Morning all, -1.2 overnight so a frosty start here. We had a lovely Indian meal last night with our family, we went on the bus so we could have a drink, our son drove with his family as he wasn’t drinking, when he drove back there was an accident which had closed the road and he quickly realised that we’d be stuck in traffic on our bus, so he sent us a message while we were waiting for the bus to go back in the restaurant and he would come back for us as he knew a back route so he dropped the family off at home and came back to fetch us. Bless him.

Yes I noticed there were a lot of sites down it wasn’t just PoN, nowt you could do gaffer just needs time for Cloudfare to resolve it.

Good morning, it’s a cold damp start the temperature went down to 2.5 last night which is a bit warmer than last night. The carpet we had put down during the summer is k eeping us a bit warmer than last year, it’s a very thick pile with a high tog rating. Tonight we are going to a posh Indian restaurant which has rave reviews with our family to celebrate Mrs. T’s significant birthday which is on Friday, we can’t go Friday with the family because the two of us are going away for a week in a cosy cottage in Yorkshire to have a week of birthday celebrations.

Yes it was, I think it’s time VAR was allowed to intervene on a second yellow card, it was never a foul and that of course had a huge bearing on the game.

There’ll be some whisky drank tonight that’s for sure. 😂

I’m surprised the police haven’t objected about this proposed fan zone it seems crazy two opposing fans tanked up on alcohol making their way to the match over Trent Bridge at the same time, it’s a recipe for disaster.

Did anyone watch this match, it was crazy. Scotland need a win to qualify for the World Cup. Scotland went 1-0 up early on with a great bicycle kick goal from McTominay, Denmark equalised with a pen in the second half, a dubious decision after a foul which was deemed to be just inside the box, after a lengthy wait for var. Denmark had a player sent off for a second yellow and Scotland went 2-1 up, 4 minutes later on 82 mins Denmark equalised again. In 90+3 minutes Scotland went ahead 3-2, then on 90+8 mins with Denmark chasing an equaliser and Kasper Schmeichel out of his goal, McLean scored from 35 yards. To put Scotland through to the World Cup finals. What a match.

On Saturday Notts welcome Colchester United to Meadow Lane. How many links can we find between the clubs, players, managers, coaches etc. My starter for ten is Liam Chilvers who played for Notts on loan in 2001-2002 making 9 appearances and scoring 1 goal, he played for Colchester between 2003 and 2006 making 113 appearances scoring 3 goals. He turned up at Notts again in 2010-2012 and made 38 appearances with no goals. (Source Wikipedia) Can you spot a link between Notts and Colchester?

It’s an incredible story, Russell King was/is a very clever man, he even managed to dupe heads of government, he lived a lavish lifestyle on other people’s money ruining people’s lives along the way, the trail even went as far as North Korea when he took Sven with him to try and set up a minerals deal. The take over of Notts County was only a small part of what he was involved in. It’s a shame he used his talents in such a nefarious way. It’s well worth a watch if you get chance.

Oh dear @Robbie i bet that was a bit of a shock. I hope you get it sorted, it’s a good excuse not to wash up though. 😉 I’m surprised you haven’t got a dishwasher, we got a small slimline on a year or so ago, it’s just big enough for the two of us and it’s brilliant, we just dump the pots in it when we’ve finished with them and whe t’s full switch it on and hey presto a few hours later they are shiny clean. In other news it’s a bit brass monkeys out there the temperature dropped to 0.6 overnight, which has reminded me that I need to cover up the outside tap, I don’t want it freezing.

My takeaway thought from the match is not to get tickets for the back of the pavis stand, not only is it exhausting getting up there but it takes ages to get out as everyone lower down get on the stairways first. My takeaway on the actual match is that I hope MP gives Jarvis a run in the team.
