Ha ha!! No, I’m lucky. Mrs ID loves gardening. More the consequence of a long walk yesterday, and realising how much gravel there is around Portishead! In place of drives, gardens and even whole flowerbeds. Looks horrible. Ends up everywhere! Ugh!

Gravel. Driveways. Front gardens. Flowerbeds.

Half Way to Paradise.......Billy Fury

One for the Bristol City…..The Wurzels

…….and a whole bunch of Tory MPs!

Tell Me There’s a Heaven……Chris Rea

Yodel……Dr Hook

Stop! in the Name of Love………Diana Ross

Which is interesting, because the Latin for “rest in peace” is “requiescat in pace” and that’s why you’ll still see R.I.P. in some non-English speaking countries. (And in Italian it’s “riposi in pace” - still R.I.P.)

Prelude to Ecstasy…….The Last Dinner Party

Four sticks……Led Zeppelin

I wouldn’t mind someone saying RIP VAR though……

Good one! And, yes, I’ve seen a couple recently where I genuinely haven’t had a clue. I guessed at one, and at the other I waited to see who came out! Risky though: there’s one or two posters over on a particular thread on the politics forum who’ll have something to say, and likely at inordinate length, if they spot this!

Let’s Have a Quiet Night In…….David Soul

Posters who discover a thread 15 pages in and then take it over.

Roxette………Dr Feelgood

Woodstock…..Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

And all those garages built in the '60s and '70s have gradually got smaller and smaller...!

Thank you EA. Anyone with half a brain, or at least with an iota of impartiality, would realise that he wasn’t talking about formations, tactics, personnel but about how individual players perform or carry out what’s been practised or planned. He can’t affect how Nakhi Wells finishes (or not) the relatively straightforward opportunity to put us 2 up on Tuesday. Good luck with your efforts at being a rare voice of reason on this forum. I’ve had it with reading what’s become an endless stream of not just negativity but of vitriol and pure hatred. There seems to be very little debate or discussion any longer. Just a determination to find fault and blame at any and every opportunity. I’m sticking with the politics forum for a while….it’s a far more civilised place, far more sensible debate and discussion, far more respect, and far less vitriol.

It's not inconceivable - looking at the weekend fixtures above - that even if we lose on Sunday - four of the nine team below Swansea get a point each and the remaining five get nothing. In which case - another game less to the end of the season - we're no nearer a relegation battle than we are today. And it's also not inconceivable that we'll do better against either WBA or Leicester than we will Swanseas!! I'm with you on the 8 points. I think we'll get them, and I think we'll get 8 after Sunday too. But it would certainly be nice to get three of them Sunday!

It is....popularised by Oprah wasn't it??

Hardly random though: I reckon about 50% of our collective pet hates are driving related

The Dress……Dijon

Hold Me Tight……Denzil Denis
