Watching the first person in the UK receive the anti-covid vaccine. Made my morning. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

You cheeky monkey. Took a Selfie and you can see we look nothing alike! I'm much younger and much more stylish!

Some good memories (or long in the tooth members) to remember Fanny and Graham Kerr. I remember my mum watching both avidly

4 day weekends!
If you remember the "retirement thread" I started a few months back.... I have just had confirmation that I can go "part-time" after Xmas. So will be working Wed-Fri but can still do the odd extra day where work requires it. That's the first stage of the plan before a complete stop during next year...unless I start enjoying it again and agree to stay to end of Programme in March 2023.

Scored a class goal past our first choice goalie in training tonight. Life in the old dog.

Playing away at Reading. Just give us the points at the start of the season and we can save the cost of the coach.

My company employees about 10,000 in UK&I. Every year we are each given £15 towards a team Christmas lunch/get together. Obviously this year these get togethers are not going to happen and so the company has said it will donate our £15s to a charity of the individual's choice from a list of seven that our charity team has put together. These include Cancer Research and MIND and my £15 will go to one or other. That will probably be MIND.
I think it's a great initiative as it will likely mean each of the seven charities receiving a significant donation from my company - and as we will all be aware - the income of all charities has been absolutely hammered this year and more than ever before they desperately need our support.
So when you are ticking names off your list as you buy their Christmas presents - maybe add to that list a charity of your choice and then make a donation as a Christmas present to it. It's always dead easy through their website.

A bit late with this suggestion I fear - at least for me
. The "family" agreed we'd no longer buy christmas presents for each other and make a donation to charity instead. Done that for a good few years now.

This year we have let all our friends and relatives who are on social media and who we normally send a card to, that this year they might not get one from us - we are putting the cost of cards plus postage to charity - and we'll give them a phone call insteadA bit late with this suggestion I fear - at least for me
