I've got fallen arches (flat feet) and for as long as I can remember I've been wearing UK size 12 trainers even though the wide shoes I bought are size 10½. It means I'm less likely to blow over in a gale but it also means I have to wear two pairs of socks to stop my feet from sliding forward...

After reading about the lack of a statue of Big Nev, and that save against Mark Falco at White Hart Lane, I found this video. It filled my heart with joyous memories of how Howard Kendall's Blues rose from the depths of despair to become the best team in Europe They called us a team with no...

I was wondering if any other Blues are taking part in this? I got my tee-shirt this morning and will be wearing it when I go for my usual brisk 2-mile walk tomorrow and all through November. My own cancer was laryngeal (vocal chords) but if I can raise money for the male-only cancer I thought I...

I'm see the government are thinking up more ways of fleecing the motorist under the guise of saving the planet.

As good as the game against Crystal Palace was last season, even if the three points were taken away we still would have stayed up. Today's win against league leaders Arsenal was, in my opinion, more satisfying. What do you think?

I am thinking of changing my manual Honda Civic for an automatic. I have never owned a red car since I was almost killed when my red Ford Sierra crashed into the only house for miles (no recollection of it but I was completely sober). Over the last 25 years, because of 'them' I also refuse to...

There was a question in the Telegraph Pub Quiz last week that I thought I'd mention. The question was: After the Latin name for which capital city is the chemical element hafnium named? I have little knowledge of Latin but I used my powers of reasoning and got it right. I'm pretty sure others...

I've just been listening to this interview with Lee Carsley on RBM. It's great to hear his thoughts on the David Moyes era. https://royalbluemersey.sbnation.com/2020/8/27/21402471/school-of-science-radio-lee-carsley-interview-everton-pre-season-blackpool-transfer-rumours-latest

As I've taken up painting and drawing, and am getting to grips with terms like en plein air, scumbling, gesso and other previously unheard of names and terms, I was wondering if anyone else would like to talk about their own adventures in what is a fascinating subject.?

Tonight my wife and myself are joining the Jack The Ripper walk in London's East End. Next Thursday we are starting out, on our own, on the LOOP (London Outer Orbital Path) which follows pathways for 150 miles from Erith in Kent, clockwise to Rainham in Essex. Should take us a couple of years as...

Just heard the fixture list is published on Thursday 13 June, so thought I'd do the honours and start the usual guessing game. I'll kick off with suggesting we'll start with Sheffield United away and a reunion with our old captain.

No, it's not an enquiry about a break-in at the Finch Farm canteen, but a general personalised number plate question. I'm thinking of buying an 07 plate car that has got an untidy looking registration number. It's probably just my OCD but it prompted me to look for an EFC number plate on the...

As everyone knows, there are a lot of non-local Evertonians, so I was wondering if the likes of us could be enlightened as to the precise meaning of some of the colourful terminology used here; such as what does someone being described as a 'wool' mean, precisely?

I recently bought a fitness tracker watch but soon realised it was too annoying to wear as a watch due to the slowness of reaction of the 'twist wrist/raise arm to to show time' function. So I wear a normal watch on one wrist and the tracker on the other. The other morning I noticed that I had...

I've had so many smartphones over the years and notice that the more advanced they become the shorter the battery life is. I got so fed up having to take a my charger with me when out for the day that I went back to a Galaxy Note 4 so I could just take a spare battery instead. When I then found...

Bear with me on this because there is a very satisfying twist at the end. My mum was 90 in April. She's still got all her marbles and could well outlive me (her own mum lived until she was almost 105). Last week she told me she didn't know much about her dad, who died in 1946 when she was 25...

I've had some Herbert trying to get me to send him the phone I was selling on eBay. He reckons he's paid and keeps sending badly edited emails supposedly from PayPal. I'd like to think that no one sends stuff off before making sure the money is already in their PayPal account, but I suppose not...

I must have mentioned the autobiographical novel I'm trying to finish. I've also mentioned the fact that I have ADHD, which makes it very difficult to focus on one thing at a time, and is also the reason I will find something else instead. So I thought if I started this thread, I might get some...

Just been looking at the Wish shopping app. Has anyone used it?
