Aww that's such sad news. He was the first non-white poet we ever studied in school, a total eye opener for me and someone who had a big impact.

That is the most fascinating article I have read in ages. I'll be sharing that with some crisp lovers that I know

Indeed independent shops are great. It does sound like a very nice sandwich. Sadly, I live no where near Bristol so won't be able to try it

Where was the sandwich from @organizedkaos?

Other that CM Punks AEW debut, I have not watched wrestling in many many years but I absolutely would tune in for Punk Vs Stone Cold

I deliver quite a lot of training and I seem gesticulate, often wildly, I really do need to find something better to do with my arms.

I think for the sake of our marriage, it's best that I live in ignorance

So basically, my husband is more of a wrong-un than the whole of the UKFF. What did I marry?!

My husband. When making the bed, there is always a side of the duvet cover where all the buttons go, my husband doesn't put this side at the bottom of the bed where it surely belongs? Sometimes he puts it up by his face or on the side or any which way the duvet lands. I just don't get it, surely it should be at the bottom? Our bedding has little birds on it, if the buttons aren't at the bottom, the birds are all facing the wrong way..... Surely it's not just me that thinks there is a right way round?!

I've just watched the end of Ronnie's documentary. That last half an hour was really really difficult to watch, your heart really goes out to him. He is easily my favourite snooker player but watching him say to his kids that it's going to kill had me saying to the TV 'just stop playing, you don't need to do this to yourself'.

The sausages look like the poos my baby does when he's constipated.

Still better than Roses

They are some beautiful notebooks. I do share your love of notebooks @Carbomband stationary in general to be honest. There is something very special about a pen that glides on a crisp new notebook page. I do have some particularly loved notebooks that I haven't even written in because I like them that much and need something a bit special to write in them (I have nothing special to write down so they will likely sit there for eternity).

Ooo yeah, I've only just got to the bit where his psychiatrist has appeared. Really fascinating to hear him talking, sports psychology has always been complex but adding Ronnie's other mental health needs in to it just made compelling viewing. I though Damien Hirst talking about him calling at the beginning of The World Championship (I think) and wanting to go in to The Priory and then having a little play on the table and totally changing his mind was quite mind-blowing. The extreme ups and downs must be agonising for him.

Ahh fair enough, I obviously need to pay slightly closer attention.

I'm only half way through @SuperBaconbut have really enjoyed it. No massive revelations but Ronnie is really candid in it and very easy to connect to. Some of the little behind the scenes things are lovely touches and fascinating to watch like banter between him and Jimmy White having breakfast in Ronnie's room in Sheffield and Ronnie's love of M&S scones.

To be fair, I also did this not so long ago @Frankie Crisp. It was post pregnancy and the lightest I've been in nearly two years weighing 9st 10lb which isn't enormous so I would put it down to a faulty toilet seat.

Yeah the Sandy stuff was awful, made Ross look like a shithead. I didn't hate the Joey/Rachel storyline but think it could have been done much better - it would have been better if it had stayed one sided in an unrequited love type scenario. However, it did bring about one of my favourite scenes - Ross getting drunk/I'm fine/Fah-HEE-tahs.

They are usually in the trees at the top end of the park - I think the bit they call Dartmouth park technically. Opposite that big wooden building (no idea what that is).

He has a history of threatening women with violence - he threatened to beat up Kimora Lee (then Simmons) when she was pregnant after a disagreement at a fashion show and one of the singers of Danity Kane (whom he managed if I remember correctly) also claimed he was violent with her a few years ago. Cassie was a teenager when he began dating her and he was almost 20 years older and her employer, a recipe for coercive control really.

The green parakeets have migrated to the Midlands, I've seen a few whilst wondering around Sandwell Valley Park.

We downloaded and printed the RSPB sheet for the list/catalogue of birds you can spot in London. Seen them all in our garden - took ages to eventually see a dunnock, though.

Do they do these guides for other areas too? We moved to a semi-rural area last year and there is so much wildlife around here but my bird knowledge is pretty limited to magpies and robins.

I'd love to see McFly, they really are a great band with some really catchy songs. Given they have been around since 2003 I would have imagined most of the crowd was on the mature side.

LAMB CURRAAAAY.

 

What the fuck was that? Why is he doing a silly fake ethnic sounding accent? 

Andi Oliver (no relation) had a bit of a rant about it too, saying that jerk is not a spice as such, it's a method of cooking, you can't jerk cook rice.
