As part of the healthy eating fad at home we've switched over. Always had Flora (other spreads are available) Light and never ave it another thought.
I read the reports that came out last year about butter and it being more healthy (in moderation) for you than any spread.
Marg is really bad for you apparently and the guy that claimed that butter was a killer was found to be totally wrong. In fact one report likened the guy to Hitler in the fact that giving his medical evidence to the World that Butter was bad for you and we should all move to Margarine, he condemned millions to heart attacks around the World.
Butter is soooo much better taste wise, but the cos again is daft. KerryGold (again other butters are available, but Irish is always best!) is only sold in 250g blocks and when you are used to the 2kg tubs of Flora that's a lot of money spent there.
We now have a butter tray and cover in the kitchen and the butter tastes lovely, but it costs!
Which do you have and why?

Spent the weekend at Mablethorpe with our grandchildren, it was where we always went for family holidays when I was a boy so it was nice to relive it.
We did consider taking them camping but they are still a bit young so I found a static at Golden Sands for £40 per night which was very reasonable I thought. We spent both days on the beach it was quite warm for the time of the year but a bit breezy.
Caught the sand train to Mablethorpe and had fish and chips, tried to win a minion on the grabbers but after spending a fortune I went to a shop and bought one instead.
Great weekend.

We all know our resident Judith Chalmers @tonyhateley likes to get about, but what do the rest of the PoN community have planned for the summer hols (if you're going on one of course!)
Me, we're off to Norfolk for two week in the school hols (hoping first couple of games are away so I don't mess as the first home game!)
One week in the Gt Yarmouth/Lowestoft area and one week at Petney Lakes.
Where are you heading too?

Anyone fancy owning a pair of Roy Carroll gloves? Here's a chance to do exactly that and help raise vital funds for the Notts County Youth Development.

Full details here folks.

I certainly enjoyed the game yesterday, and gave out a loud yell when the Juve equalizer went in! It was made all the sweeter by the fact that Juve were seen as the weakest of the teams in the semi-finals.
My heart wants Juve to win the final, but my head is saying Barca probably will destroy them. How do you guys/gals think the final will go down?

Has anyone watched the interview on Magpie Player? It's worth a watch.
I'm interested to see other people's views on it before I express my own... -

Jack Grealish: Aston Villa player turns down Republic call-up
Aston Villa's Jack Grealish has turned down a place in the Republic of Ireland squad for the friendly against England and Euro qualifier against Scotland.
There was speculation that the in-form midfielder would be called up by Republic boss Martin O'Neill but Grealish, 19, asked not to be included.
Birmingham-born Grealish can also play for England although he has already represented the Republic's Under-21s.
"Jack didn't want to make up his mind at this stage," said O'Neill.
The Republic manager said he had spoken to both Grealish and the player's father.
A "disappointed" O'Neill confirmed he had intended to include Grealish but added that he still believed "there is a good possibility" the midfielder will play for the Republic.
"I'm sure that he could in the future (choose Ireland)," said the Republic manager
"He didn't want to make a decision now. I would have liked to have had him training with us for the week ahead of England game. That's a disappointing aspect."
O'Neill's press conference to announce his squad was delayed by around 40 minutes.
Asked whether this was because he had been in conversation with Grealish's father, O'Neill replied:"Not necessarily."
O'Neill's side face England in Dublin on 7 June before the vital home Euro 2016 qualifier against Scotland at the Aviva Stadium six days later.
Grealish is believed to be on England Under-21 boss Gareth Southgate's radar although the teenager has said he plans to play for the Republic's Under-21s in their Uefa qualifier against Andorra on 8 September.
Earlier this year, Grealish suggested he wanted to delay a call-up to the Republic of Ireland senior squad until next season.
Grealish earned positive reviews for his display in Villa's FA Cup semi-final win over Liverpool last month and has continued to impress in recent games for his club.
O'Neill has given first senior call-ups to Aberdeen striker Adam Rooney and Brentford midfielder Alan Judge as he named an extended 33-man squad for the games which will be preceded by a behind-closed-doors game with Northern Ireland on 4 June.
Everton midfielder Darron Gibson (foot) and Aston Villa defender Ciaran Clark (medial ligament) are both ruled out by injury but Robbie Keane is included despite concerns over a groin problem.
Republic skipper Keane has not played for LA Galaxy for a month because of his injury.
O'Neill will reduce the squad before the players link up on 1 June.
Republic of Ireland squad
Goalkeepers: Forde (Millwall), Given (Aston Villa), Westwood (Sheffield Wednesday), Randolph (Birmingham)
Defenders: Keogh (Derby), Wilson (Stoke), Coleman (Everton), Christie (Derby), O'Shea (Sunderland), Pearce (Reading), McShane (Hull), Ward (Burnley)
Midfielders: McCarthy (Everton), Hendrick (Derby), Arter (Bournemouth), Whelan (Stoke), McGeady (Everton), McClean (Wigan), Judge (Brentford), Brady (Hull), Pilkington (Cardiff), Quinn (Hull), Meyler (Hull), Hoolahan (Norwich)
Forwards: Keane (LA Galaxy), Long (Southampton), Murphy (Ipswich), Walters (Stoke), Doyle (Colorado Rapids), Stokes (Celtic), McGoldrick (Ipswich), Rooney (Aberdeen), Cox (Reading)
My personal thoughts are that he needs to settle within the international scene, this will enable him to focus on his performances and naturally give his current manager something to think about. Yet, I feel it's a mistake to reject his call-up. I respect the decision but I feel he decided to play for Ireland, he should go down that route for me and hopefully this England talk isn't turning his head.
No doubt he would achieve more with England but I just think about 'roots'.
What about you? Right call? -
I like to give my opinion on the majority of discussions I find, this had me think. What are your posting habits like? How do you roam the website?

Promotions and Relegations do one thing, it brings people closer. Remember on Sunday it is all part and parcel of supporting a real football club and after you survive, pinch yourselves and recall my words about bringing people together. I expect you to build and go on from here!
You deserve some success now after these last two seasons.
Warmest regards from a Wednesday fan and good luck!

Why do we let ourselves get so attached to our pets?
Our cat Denzil (Denny to his friends) has been with us for 16 years, recently he had started to go downhill and lost weight dramatically until he was literally just fur, skin and bones, then he started walking into things. Yesterday on the advice of the vet we decided he'd had enough and he was put to sleep.
He is now under our garden in his favourite sunny spot, we felt so sad and I was actually very emotional digging his grave.
RIP Denny

I was gonna wait a couple of days because I'm still fairly angry after that result... maybe I'll post any alterations after I calm down.
Roy Carroll - Keep - Doubtful he will want to stay.Mustapha Dumbuya - Release - On too much and not good enough to justify his wages.Blair Adams - Keep - Young, and a decent fullback for L2 level.Alan Smith - Release - Lol, get out.Hayden Mullins - Release - RetireHaydn Hollis - Keep - Backup CB for L2 level.Will Hayhurst - Keep - Could possibly be half decent at L2 level, maybe on the bench.Nicky Wroe - Unsure - Don't know/haven't seen enough of him.Jimmy Spencer - Keep - Will score for fun in L2 and with a half decent side in L1Ronan Murray - Keep - Get better soon Ronan.Garry Thompson - Release - Too old.Sean Newton - Release (Don't sign) - Back to Lincoln. Give Trew a lift.
Gary Jones - Keep - Maybe one more season to guide the youngsters in L2Taylor McKenzie - UnsureCurtis Thompson - Keep - Will be a vital part of our L2 side, I would imagine.Liam Noble - Keep - If he can keep his head, he's a decent player at L2 level.Greg Tempest - ? - He still at the club?Billy Daniels - ? - Is he part of the media team or something?
Mike Edwards - Fitness coachBálint Bajner - ReleaseKevin Pilkington - GK Coach
Cieron Keane, Brad McGowan, Fabian Spiess, Drissa Traoré, Elliott Whitehouse, Colby Bishop- ? -
I was doing a clean out this morning. Found a programme from 2007. Pre season vs Forest. Lee Canoville is in the new signing section. He's a successful coach in Nottingham now. Played 35 games for us.

I said it at the time and I'll say it again, when we won promotion from league 2 Trew should have given Cotterill whatever he wanted to enable him to stay. I firmly believe we'd be in the Championship now.
Where/when did things go wrong for you?
Aston Villa's Jack Grealish has turned down a place in the Republic of Ireland squad for the friendly against England and Euro qualifier against Scotland.
