Great to hear from you T. Was getting worried. Not nice that your tum is playing up but for you I guess that's possibly the better of 2 evils.

Thanks Fred, because my PC is hooked up to my TV so i can couch game, I'm not always on as I don't really use the mobile a lot and If I'm watching TV I can't come on. I am lazy though I do have a laptop as well ?

Morning folks. Enjoy your Saturday until 5.30 when it all kicks off...on every level. I'm going to invoke all my religious artefacts to ensure a win. I've got Catholicism, Buddhism and Hinduism covered so far. One of them must like Everton!
I've got a soft spot for Hull. I used to be the Group Liason officer for the Land Registry Hull office so would help the branch reps with personal cases, meetings, recruitment etc. Had some cracking nights out in Hull. One night was in tne casino where for £20 you got a 3 course meal, a glass of wine and £5 to play in the casino.!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. How did the table tennis go @jazzy? And how is Mrs J? @Terrarian are you OK? And also @Methuselah - how's things with you?

No plans today. Think Mum's taxi may be in business today getting the offspring and partners into Durham for a night out later. One thing I still miss from living in a city is decent public transport and the ability to flag down a taxi in tne middle of the road. Rural County Durham has the most awful public transport infrastructure.

Terrible match anje but we won. I played poorly but won 2 out of 3. Now effectively self isolating by not playing ping pong before we go away to minimise the chance of infection.

Mrs J much better thanks.

I have been to Hull and back. Once played an FA Amateur Cup game against Reckitt and Colman in Hull. We won 10 - 0. R&C were very hospitable and all our players and officials got a large complimentary parcel of their products. We are not too bad, thank you for your enquiry. Our house move will start to build up over the next three or four weeks, so just hope for a bit more improvement in health before it happens. I have two sons and two daughters and all, plus daughters in law and sons in law and grandkids are going to be here for the move. They are going to dump me and her indoors in youngest daughter's house (150 yards from our new one) for the period of the move, so no physical stuff, just mental stress!
Hope all is well with you.

Have you done your lateral flow test yet? lol

Glad Mrs J is a lot better. It takes a couple of days for the antibiotics to kick in

Thanks Fred.

Did a LFT before I went.

Feel remarkably well today ( usually a bit stiff after a game but not today which is probably an indication that I didn't move much or pur much effort in ).

Sat about 10 feet away from everyone else wearing a mask when not playing and getting very funny looks , despite the fact that this is Table Tennis England protocol.

Will take another in an hour before I go to see mum.

I've been struck by how geographically diverse we are and wondered why people moved away and / or support Everton.

Fred we know is from Speke before he moved to Cornwall.

I'm from Plymouth but moved up to Huyton in 1982 after meeting the now Mrs J in Corfu. But bizarrely ( one of @Sassy Colombian strange coincidences ) Everton were always my team and as a 10 year old I remember having Everton pennants ( triangular things - remember those ?) and pictures of Alan Ball on my bedroom wall of parents house in Plymouth.

So what about everyone else - why did you move away or end up supporting Everton?

Born into two families of Evertonians. It wasn't an option. I've no idea why my Dad's Irish family chose Everton after coming over from Ireland but they did. My maternal Grandparents were both Scousers. Both Evertonians. My Grandad stopped going to the match in 1933 when someone peed down the back of his best suit! I was never sure which surprised me more - the weeing incident or wearing your best suit for the match! My Nan, who never set foot in Goodison in her whol 80 years, was the most bitter biased Evertonian you could meet.

I met Mr F through mutual friends who I worked with in Birkenhead. One was from Dewsbury and he hooked up with my friend from West Kirby. They moved to Dewsbury, got married and had a joint stag and hen do. I went, Mr F went as a friend of another bloke who was there, who had also worked with us but had transferred to Durham Land Registry- he was from County Durham. The rest as they say is history! When we got married it was far easier for me to transfer my job from Birkenhead to Durham than for him to quit his job and start looking in Liverpool.

I was a massive football fan from about the age of 11 and regular at Posh matches (I even went to see the reserveslol). I watched the 66 cup final and I was hooked and Everton became my “first” team and I went to see us whenever I could although this meant it was away games only as travel to Liverpool was difficult.
