Major Isewater Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 So a big day today, a pivotal moment in the season where Mrs Isewater will go to Ikea . There will surely be temper tantrums, the usual childish crying and kicking but she's used to me by now . My neighbour is back from injury , torn nail , and we should make a formidable Back two in our Kia . With Mrs I upfront driving us on and Mrs Neighbour coaxing from the wing . We are anticipating a big attendance so get there early . COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 The building of Tesco and IKEA was a huge improvement on the dump that was there before. Here is hoping that the same can be done for Horfield making the Pikeys squat somewhere else again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Here in Peterborough there are several Police cars parked up with pairs of coppers in each. Are the gas bringing a "firm" here today? On the other hand, the car park nearest the ground is shut today as the fair is in town and they've set up there. Presumably a low visiting fan attendance expected. Remembering who scored a hat trick for PUFC at the Mem earlier this season, I'll take the opportunity to remind gasheads who wish to stay here overnight, it's only a ten minute drive from London Road to the Marriott Hotel.

Posh seem in generally good form, lost last time out but 3 consecutive wins before that, and generally on the up. Without a couple of regulars due to suspension and international call ups by the looks of it but so are Rovers so hopefully that evens itself out and a well deserved thrashing for the gas will be the happy outcome.

Erithacus Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I hear Ikea are bringing in a couple of beards on loan for today's clash, Major. A flat pack four seems to be the way forward. Maybe the Evil Post will have a reporter there to cover the decisive moments. In other news, it's a Toolstation game for me today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be any celebrating in either Oxford or cambridge tonight thoiugh as both Unis are now on half term holiday and all the students have gone home for a few weeks. What really annoys other unis is that people think the Oxbridge pair are the best. However when the University rowing championships take place Durham & Loughborough regularly finish way ahead of the elite pair. I'm sure though the race always started about 2.00pm. Over the PA system at the gate the result would be announced about 2.30ish and different sections of the East End would chant "Oxford" and "Cambridge".

Haven't been in the Sloop on this visit - as yet - so not sure about the meat rifles.! Went to Lelant on the train because grandkids love trains. Have been to the Badger on previous visits, but this time went to a wine bar type place near to the garden centre. Excellent good lunch and son and daughter-in-law liked the very extensive gin menu ( 3 pages of different gins including a whole page of Cornish gins!!!). Limited cider choices and cant remember the name of my choice I'm afraid to say - I enjoy a good cider when "back home" in the west country but wouldn't class myself as an aficionado.
