St Albans visit recommendations
at 17:12 13 Jan 2025

We’re going to go to visit the Warner Bros studios as that is where the Harry Potter films were made. It’s based in Watford and we’re going to stay in St. Albans.

Please may I ask if anyone has any recommendations for places to visit whilst there? I know that there’s a Roman museum but that’s it.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Scam Alert
at 11:24 10 Dec 2024

Thought that I share this on here so that more people are aware of it.

Today, I received an email from Evril which looked genuine and had no typos. Had what looked like a tracking number in it and it also had a photo of our front door, showing a package being too big to be put in the front door. Said to click on the tracking number to rearrange delivery.

The only reason why I didn’t click on the links was that I am completely unorganised in terms of Xmas shopping that I wasn’t expecting anything.

I cut-and-pasted the tracking number and put it in the official site - not recognised.

I reported it to evril and to their credit (never thought that I would ever say that) they got back in touch. Apparently some photos of front doors have found their way to some scammers. And the links attached, will open a front door to your device (not sure on the correct terminology).

Thought I share this on here as at this time of year keeping track of stuff is hard. Plus the email looked absolutely genuine. The sending email had evril in it as well. Looked legit.

Live TV
at 14:42 6 Dec 2024

Someone I spoke to yesterday mentioned that they don’t have a TV license and as a consequence they aren’t allowed to watch live tv and this includes sport which isn’t on the BBC.

Now she said to get around this they simply pause a match and watch a few minute after it’s started so that they aren’t technically watching live telly.

Are they right in the two above points? Just seemed incorrect information- I have tried to google this but haven’t found anything and it’s been bugging me.

Thanks.

If a prisoner was sentenced to life imprisonment and whilst in prison had a heart attack and was technically dead before being resuscitated. Does that mean his life sentence has been served?

Can anyone recommend music similar to The Prodigy?
at 17:35 14 Oct 2024

Be great if someone on here can recommend bands similar to The Prodigy but a bit more guitar based. I guess something like them and the Chemical Brothers meets Oasis - or Suede etc.

Thanks in advance.

15.00ko matches on Sky?
at 19:47 4 Sep 2024

According to this site, Sky will be broadcasting 15:00ko matches for L1 and L2 matches. Click on 7th Sept tab and it states that those games will be on Sky+.

Am I misreading it or is this now allowed in the EFL?

Blue shorts.
at 20:32 1 Sep 2024

Ever since I can remember we’ve worn blue shorts if the home team that were playing also wear white shorts. For example at Man Utd, or Forest.

The last couple of seasons we’ve stuck with the white shorts instead of switching to blue. This season, will we be reverting to blue shorts?

I know that it’s a random and pointless question but I’ve been pondering this since the kits were announced. Ta.

Phil, this might well be a daft question.
at 09:51 19 Aug 2024

But, what was it like being in a full press box? I’m guessing in L1, those press conferences and unglamorous matches must have been quite sparsely populated by the media. Must seem quite strange to see the national press etc in town.

Can someone be English/ British etc before England existed?

Was just watching a short documentary about Boudicca in which the narrator referred to her as British. Can someone be of a nationality before that future nation existed?

This is going to sound really vague.
at 18:24 19 Jul 2024

I think in L1 we played against Wigan who had a really young player. I think he had a Spainish sounding name and Man Utd were interested. Who was he?

I could well be misremembering and it might well not have been Wigan but he was a very young player who had a good game against us.

Why do the parties switch sides?

Is there some reason why the government seat on one side and the opposition on the other side?

Language apps.
at 20:45 6 Jul 2024

I’ve always thought that learning a foreign language was important. Unfortunately I have no talent for languages- having a slight speech impediment doesn’t help especially so when high school teachers used to openly mock my efforts.

Anyway, I’m going to try again and think Spanish is my best bet. Has anyone used a language app to help them? And if so which ones would you recommend? Thanks.

The amazing Ronaldo
at 22:47 1 Jul 2024

The leadership, the bravery to step up and take his penalty after missing his earlier one. Compared to past performances , this one wasn’t great at all, but he still delivered.

Arguably one of the greatest ever players - in an age where almost every single match of his senior career has been televised, his performances have been consistently world class. Compared to previous decades where players could have off-days and not have glare of a worldwide audience watching them.

One of the greatest ever players - well done Ronaldo.

Book recommendations
at 10:30 14 May 2024

Hello
I’m off on my hols soon and I’m looking for some holiday book recommendations - fiction only.

I’m not fussed in terms of genre as I like to read different things. But I’m looking for a book that contains a lot of humour (preferably darker humour). Also must have some action in it or a plot (just read Nora Webster by Colm Tóibín which in my opinion was incredibly dull and nothing happened).

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
