Maybe AR - Wakefield top as all 14 Super League clubs stay for 2027 - [Link]

Spit, £5/6 duty free sounds about right. I paid roughly £3.20 per pack of Marlboro red at Riga Airport 4 years ago.

All the best Alan, i'm assuming the operation was successful. Must be a huge relief to get that behind you

Never smoked or vaped.but you can get £5/6 for 20 cigs in some vape shops.

RK-£1 an hour might be the going rate in Cambodia though

(Only Revolutions is Biffy, for anyone wondering…)

Alan - I’ve got a signed Storm print of Only Revolutions alternative cover (not chosen, but similar to the actual one) - it’s genuine (came from the studio itself), but the pencil signature has faded away since Thorgerson’s death… :(

What do the next few weeks/months look like for you Alan? Are you under home arrest or can you get out and about a bit?

Glad you are home Alan

Here in Italy, the smoking rate is 24% adults (compared to 11% UK). Something we got right by health campaigns and taxes. The smoking lobby back in the 1960s disputed that smoking causes heart & lung illness and claimed it was a conspiracy

A4E, about 50% of your list (yes is touched on, Storm) the Pistols plus Pink Floyd feature, the eras are 60's to 2000. The 2nd episode the music photographers was my favourite, Each episode is an hour, so to get anything comprehensive isn't going to happen, but it does give an overview and a gateway to research further. [Link] Here's a link to a better description, hadn't seen it before but it shows up from time to time

Crazy isn't it RK? I saw something earlier that said Disney have raised their ticket prices by a record amount for their US parks after making something like $37bn profit last year.

Another good reason not to vape… [Link]

Alan - glad you’re home now!! What era of sleeve designs are they covering - any by Roger Dean (Yes, Tales From Topographic Oceans, etc….), Storm Thorgerson (10cc, AC/DC, Biffy Clyro, LED Zeppelin, Wishbone Ash, etc…)?

BBC article saying Prem Lge shirts (and others ...) made by two factories in Cambodia where workers are paid £1 an hour

Eesh yes could do with an update on our injury list (hopefully a positive one) - great to see Browne nearing a first team place again but would love to see Stevens and Tilley back. Not sure which defenders we have injured at the moment but anybody coming back into contention is a good thing right now as we head into a tough phase of fixtures.

Next 2 away games after that are Sheff Weds and Stockport too, going to need to get some points at home

Got a cab from hospital to Southampton yesterday, driven by a Gooner season ticket holder. Seems to agree with the majority of football fans that its gone all boring boring Arsenal. Honest enough to say that whilst he'd take winning the title last season, he didn't enjoy the season on a football passion perspective. He hangers for the invincibles style which brought excitement and jeopardy to every match. Top bloke who made the trip down fly by.

As Aideen says it needs to be dropped. Only remembrances from now on, arguing with others is disrespectful to his memory.

Finally we get to look forward to another league game. And it ain’t gonna be easy. Argyle top the table after 9 games played so can be considered a decent team by now. They’ve scored an impressive 16 goals in that time which is 10 (ten) more than us. They’ve let in 11 which is worse than our 8, but you get the sense we’ll need to score more than our becoming-traditional single goal in order to get a point. Another clean sheet would be immense. Take a point right now if offered.

DO-Sholing are home to SE Dons. After losing to non league sides in the last 2 seasons I will be happy not to play one, I just hope we take the FA Cup seriously for once

I went to Tadley Celleva v Truro just as Covid was kicking off. Think it was FAC 4q. Ground in the middle of nowhere was very :basic"

Support here for Spartan, he hasnt done any wrong imo, but either way it just needs to be dropped. RIP Mikey.

Uncle Arthur - who have I disrespected ? I certainly haven't disrespected Mikey. He was the one Wimbledon supporter I had the utmost respect for. I was that upset when i heard the news of his passing that I shed tears. I was also the first to lay flowers for him at the Winners statue on the day of the Barnet game even though I wasn't attending the match. So don't bloody talk to me about respect. You know nothing about me. I knew Mikey and got on very well with him, we had plenty of banter on away trips whenever he traveled on the coach and on social media. So, as far as I'm concerned you can bloody do one and anybody else who wants to have a go.

Home or away to Tadley Calleva would be a nice draw too.
