  2. Do I count having just landed on the Norn Iron flight for tomorrow's game? For me, Birthday and Christmas presents are flights to watch BCFC. This will be my 75th league grounds with BCFC. Unfortunately, it is not quite 50 if you count current grounds and not their old venue. To catch up with mates and watch BCFC is my buzz. It'll be my second game this season having seen the Stoke game at the Gate. I'm also flying over for the Ipswich game so that'll be my 76th ground. If we get to the promised land, then 92 is achievable. Unfortunately, most of my grounds were from the 80s onwards when we were dire but the fun going to those grounds and nearby pubs was great.
  3. BBC News - Barry John: Legendary Wales and Lions fly-half dies aged 79 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/68170605
  4. We supported The Vice Squad in their early days.
  5. And taking the headline literally is interesting for me. I'm flying over for the Middlesbrough game from Belfast!
  6. She was on Jools Holland's show only a couple of years ago. They didn't talk about her cover of the Wurzels No 1 hit song (which was 'written' by an Irish comedian).

  9. The Hawthorns is the highest above sea level league ground in England. With the cold wind blowing in from the Baltic, it'll be like being back in Austria!
  10. The biggest memory I will have of Andi was the incredible pass with the outside of his right boot on the left wing at QPR. I had flown over for this game and despite the City being battered in the second half, the team never gave up. Then in the 93rd minute we had a break and Andi did this for Nahki ....
  11. And Mrs W didn't need to use a flipchart or spreadsheet either!
  12. We live in a new build bungalow. Condensation has been a problem especially when the triple glazing works so well in retaining the heat. I looked at dehumidifiers but opted to buy the small plastic containers from big supermarkets/ hardware shops at around £1.25 each. This pic shows a completely filled dehumidifier. We've also a month ago, put a Peace Lilly into the bathroom to help with the condensation as recommended by the press. They look good and the jury is still put as to whether the plants actually work. However, even in January, opening the bathroom window really helps....and dehumidifiers aren't supposed to go into bathrooms according to elf n safety. Try the cheap disposable pots first would be a start.
  13. Thanks Redoxo. Hopefully others will say they couldn't get tge feed either.
  14. Hi, Thanks everybody for replying. Yes, I knew the FA Cup is available on the BBC Web. However, when you pay the annual sub, you like to use the service I wrote to them and after you read their reply, you'll know why I posted! The service has been woeful this season and if enough people post on here, I can then write to Lisa Knights. Thanks for reaching out, We're continually fine-tuning our live stream to provide the best experience possible. Upon reviewing our reports and notes from the operations team, we didn't find any consistent issues during the event. No widespread complaints were reported by other viewers either. From our end, it seems the problem might be isolated, as technical glitches on our side typically affect all viewers. When an issue affects only one viewer, it usually points to a problem on their end. For more details on streaming terms and conditions, you can check our website. We're unable to process a refund in this case and we apologise for any inconvenience caused
  15. The Black Horse pub? Is that the Kicker?
  16. Indeed. I used to call him Nicky Maynard...maybe it was too long ago!
  17. Not me then as I didn't sit in the Upper Lansdown when I flew over!
  18. I wrote to the streaming site as I wasn't getting any audio feed on my laptop or phone. They've just written back to say that it must have been an isolated case as nobody else has complained. Bearing in mind the commentary was on Radio Briz anyway, I'd be grateful if there were other fans trying to listen on the official City stream and can let me know by posting on this thread. Please post as well if you were able to listen on Robins Audio Feed. I can't believe it is just me as an isolated case, especially as I heard the automatic voice saying 'Framed' but then not getting an audio feed.
  19. Surely the Balamory theme tune would be easier and quicker! What's the story, Ross McCrorie, Isn't he good to go!
  20. BBC News - Mary Poppins actress Glynis Johns dies aged 100 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67888244 She was Undervalued in Mary Poppins.
