Well you'll know Burnley got a 5-0 whooping. The skipper or team captain blamed it on the banner upsetting the players. When really they wouldn't have had a chance anyway and they were 5 guys down cos players in the last 6 months of their contract can refuse to play. In case they get injured.. Nobody wants to buy a fucked player. The whole blm thing doesn't really fly up north where Burnley are..jacko can explain it better I'm sure.. I'm very limited on football.

From what I gather with Burnley they aren't making any huge fortune's, but I think in many ways it was a matter of club pride that for many years they were the only team in the Premier league that wasn't running at a loss. Going back to my mate Tom. A few summers ago maybe last summer or one before. A few of us stop for a beer at a countryside pub while out on a bike ride. Tom's wearing his rather expensive that seasons clarets top and Danny Ings is sat at the next table. Danny was Burnleys star striker at the time. Tom's getting all excited, he had to explain who Danny fucking Ings was to me. Anyway.. It's, my shout for the beers so at the bar I ask if they have a marker pen I can borrow. Sure no problem. So taking the beers back I give Tom the pen and tell him to get his Burnley top signed. Tom's not sure because the guys out with his mates and Tom doesn't want to impose on his privacy....in the end he does.. Goes over and says hi sorry to bother you and all that but could you sign my top please Danny? No problem says Mr Ings. Tom says hold on.. I've just bought this your staying at Burnley arnt you? Sure says Danny I'm going nowhere. He signed my mate top and we fuck off. Tom's happy as fuck untill the cunt moved clubs shortly after lol

I was out having a few socially distanced beers with my mate Tom and his dog the other day. Now Tom's a life long season ticket holding Burnley fan, and he is not happy at all. 5 first team players refusing to play because the board never renewed their contracts. And then this BLM stupidity. I'm not much of a footy fan although I do the sky sport super 6 cos we have a cash league on it at work. Anyway.... Being less than 10 miles from Burnley, as you can imagine there are quite a few Burnley fans around here. I'm quite surprised at the amount of people I know who say they'll never go to Turf Moor again. It's seems a pretty even split between the contracts fuck up. And denouncing one of their own fans for the plane banner that merely pointed out the obvious. I think Burnleys run of always turning a profit may very well be about to end.

The money I would have put away for my next Thailand trip has gone into my campervan conversion and a few new guitars. 4th of July seems to be when staying away from home overnight is allowed so I'll be enjoying my investment somewhere In the UK. Undoubtedly I'll get called back to work as soon as enjoying yourself is allowed again. On the plus side I've got 10 holiday days from last year left to add to my new entitlement from mid July so I'll still be able to hit the road for a bit. Thailand is on the naughty step at the moment. Shit exchange rate and not welcome anyway. If both those things change then maybe I'll look into another trip.

Muddy waters was truly great. In a very small market town in the North of England just a few miles from me we had a very tiny working mens club that put a blues night on every fortnight. The guy who ran the club wrote to John Lee Hooker. Said hey. You haven't played in the UK in ages. Explained about the little blues club and said if he came to play he was welcome to crash on his sofa. A few weeks later there were we were watching the legendary Mr hooker playing in this little shit hole club in a little shit hole town in Lancashire. Could have sold tickets for hundreds of pounds but it was totally un promoted and usual £2entry fee.

This was my first introduction to how great slide guitar can sound. I was a huge fan of this band Tom Keifer the main guy was incredibly talented and a great showman. Swapping from grand piano to 3 different guitars all in one song live. Possibly not to everyone's taste but they shaped my musical direction and encouraged me to learn more and try new things. Long hair and eye liner got me more fucks back then, than I could ever afford to pay for in pattaya now.

Cakes rock. My cousins husband has got mad into baking recently. I shall look out for you in the next great British bake off.

As some of you may have read I recently renewed my interest in playing guitar. I'd gotten good enough to busk and played in some local bands but lugging a guitar around and travel did not go well together. I did learn some slide guitar and love that blues sound. But it's not so easy on a modern low action guitar as the idea is to stop the string with the slide not the frets. How fucking cool is this.

I'd think a Thailand airbridge is a long way off. Spain however are desperate for British holiday makers and Boris wants to please the masses. I'd expect an agreed airbridge with no quarantine eather going out or coming back to be agreed by both countries quite quickly. Benidorm will be full of Brits by August.

I feel your pain. Many moons ago the ira blew up my busking pitch in Manchester center. The tunnel leading to shambles Square behind marks and Spencer. I doubt it was aimed at me directly but It was a great pitch. Out of the weather and nice acoustics with a nice little pub in the square to spend my earning in. That was the first Saturday in months I'd not gone busking.

Having recently picked up an electric guitar again after many years. It's great to have YouTube to look back on classic songs and trying to pick them up. Being able so see it being played in the vids helps tremendously. Here's one I've watched to death recently. Total classic and way ahead of its time. And my just dispatched today 2nd new guitar since lockdown.

I think you'll find I'd be in a majority with my view. So not only in my eyes. You are of course entitled to your opinion. I'm going to guess you live south of Watford gap.

It seems breakfast is not one of your talents. Eather stay in bed and avoid it, or follow the breakfast rules adhered to by the civilised world. 1. Breakfast to be conducted at a low volume. Shouting "HEY BURT WHAT THE FRICKIN FRICK IS THIS? " in the buffet queue is unacceptable. 2. There may well be people around with hangovers. They will certainly stick to rule 1. Unless confronted by a confused loud person who. Instead of getting on with breakfast in a quite orderly manner, is now holding everyone up to take buffet pictures. Then you may hear a quiet. "Twat" being aimed in your direction. Take the hint and stop fucking about. 3. If in doubt stick to tea/coffee and toast. If the toaster looks like it might be a technical challenge for you, quietly admit you are a breakfast novice an skip the toast. Maybe you can come back later and have a practice when everyone else has finished. 4. If your other half is visually offensive or prone to talking.. Don't take her to breakfast!

I'd have to disagree with you, just for a change there jacko ? We got out just in time. The EU is disintegrating in front of our very eyes. It's every man for himself and fuck unity.
