100 years ago today (21st March 2025) I believe this gentleman made his debut for Everton. Could do with him now.

Moved into our house in a close in a small town in north Wilts 10 years ago last summer. After a year or so I started getting on with an auld fella cross the road in his late 70s. An engineer an inspiration. We shared a love of old cars and machinery. He inspired me into a hobby buying and...

Here the anvil is wrapped and I can't wait to see the joy in her face tomorrow, if she recovers from her dose of the norovirus. What have you fellas got the lady in your life.

From the takeover thread - got me thinking back. E.g.: Everton 1.0 - St Domingos cricket club Everton 1.1 - St Domingos FC Everton 2.0 - Everton FC Discuss Everton x Win Vista - Moshiri Everton Everton x+1 - TFG Everton What are the other significant stages, eg moving to goodison Everton...

When I were a wee lad a toilet was simple. Polish with the izal, yank the chain, hope the cistern doesn't come clattering on yer head and go. Today, because the likes of private water companies keep spilling our drinking water so they can maximise the amount of money they send off to tory...

Help me out. I love my food and I'll eat anything... but I have preferences and there are only a few things I'd rarely choose or avoid. I love a rich curry - jalfrezi is bliss. The missus and her family nearly always choose a Chinese. The problem is, in my experience, there are only two dish...

When I was 10, our family holiday would see us tramping down from Salford to my auntie's guest house on the south coast at Bournemouth. At the time, my dad had a Daimler 250 v8 that he got cheaply off a family connection. I loved it. I still do. To this day it has the most beautiful engine...

Might level the playing field and turn the "entertainment" into a competitive sport again. At least until the corrupt goblins running it all figure out a way of subverting it. https://www.90min.com/premier-league-clubs-vote-to-introduce-spending-cap?utm_source=fotmob&utm_medium=share

Where's my brother in cynicism? Last posted in February. Is he ok? Anyone in "outside world" contact with him?

A thread for those of us wishing to offload (in my case, literally). In sure some of you are, for whatever serious reason - but this is my day today: Tomorrow morning I'm having a routine procedure - an examination - because of family history. Since Saturday I've nit been allowed ANY of my...

It's international happiness day* today (20th March) - so if you need an institutionalised commemorative event to motivate you to be happy, whether you're a billionaire on a yacht off the Dubai coast, swilling caviar by the bucket, or whether you've lost everything you have and live by the skin...

Looks like it might be a thing. I'm deeply concerned about how British establishments use the term "independent" though. An independent committee always awards MPs enormous annual pay rises. Independent ofgem is run by former directors and current investors in energy companies - our upcoming...

Just read an article about how Everton are looking for cash for the naming rights for the new stadium. As usual with modern reporting - alot of words were used, little said. We currently know the plot as Bramley Moore. Will that stick? It's an area locals might be used to referring to...

I've always thought the Mail was the most right wing, but the express seems to just live of enflaming people. I wonder if its time to reassess. (Not including the obviously right wing unmentionable paper in the poll because 1. It doesn't deserve thought and 2. It's a comic. Disclaimer ... I...

I have this date, 22nd January in my calendar as being Everton's birthday. I must have noted it at some point, but didn't record any details as to whether it was the first time we were called Everton, or whether it was when St Doningos decided to boot a ball about, rather than thwack it with a...

Righty ... Anyone with experience of this issue who can point in the right direction.... Mk7 diesel transit, 2.4 l ... starts on the key and runs if key kept in the start position, but cuts out immediately on release. (People have suggested ignition switch) .... BUT If I rev it before...

I give up. I want a simple rear bike light that goes on or off at the touch of a button, like the old days. Why must everything have faff designed in. Fewmin! Every one I can find has numerous useless modes that try to make you look like some kind of Cylon/knightrider lovechild. Nor do i...

Greedy spuds want Branthwaite, if you believe the clickbait. They also want to offload Richarlison, if you believe the clickbait. I believe nothing from the media desperate to create articles out of thin air for revenue. But it got me thinking . . Would you? For me, it's a resounding no. I...

I'm sure many if you will be disappointed to discover that this thread is not about geology. Maybe it would be gneiss to have one one day. I'm after your help in me compiling a playlist of classic, iconic rock tracks. Jog my memory please. (Nothing after the horrendous 1980 year plethora of...
