Added to that Burnley and Sheffield United are their last 2 games whilst ours a Liverpool and Palace, I dont think we would be able to make up the ground required during their difficult run of games.

Huge weekend ahead.

Think they have Man City in between Burnley and Sheffield United now.

Yeah, they're in a real dark spot now. 

They’ll soon see the light.

In October 1990 I had arranged to meet my best friend (Best Man at wedding) at Plough Lane, however I got distracted by my now wife of 33 years and ended up scoring more than both teams that day.

And then he rubbed his arse in your face and pretended he never played for the club.

You mean in 1990 at Luton Airport when the England team came home (Gazza with the plastic breasts before Raoul Moat period) I climbed up the side of the bus and got DP’s autograph on my Villa shirt that was all wasted.

We really are clinging onto this season. All the xG stats from recent games since Forest has us behind opponents. Even Luton 

We'll get found out soon enough unless we improve our performances 

Probably been said many times but www.football365.com miss you in the mailbox.

According to my son in law, PNE have never beaten a team managed by that DVB Rowett.

Sorry if you have covered it before @Chindie but have you been diagnosed with anything with relation to your stomach? Like IBS/Crohns/Colitis? Certainly sounds very much like the latter, which I have. Or is it the anxiety/stress causing it?

I know exactly where you are coming from when you mentioned prepping yourself before going out. I have to do the same. People don't realise how exhausting it is. When people see me in the office at 7:30am, they don't realise I have been up for nearly 3 hours, preparing my body to go out.  I can sometimes have to go to the toilet two or three times before I am comfortable enough to go out. I won't leave the house unless I have had what I would call a satisfactory movement. I know I laugh about it on here, but it can be demoralising and draining. It wears me down. 

Bizarrely once the morning routine is done, I'm a lot better during the day at work. I may have to go again, once or twice, but I'm generally ok. Evenings are fine as well. Its morning when my insides are in absolute ribbons. I don't know why that  is, maybe its because i'm lying horizontal for a large number of hours, and going vertical upsets everything!

I've learned to live with it the best I can. I try not to let it define my life, but there are things I can't do. Festivals etc. I always have to be conscious of nearest toilets etc. 

As a fellow sufferer, this this and again this.

Need to know if where we are going has customer toilets, also like you thinking it’s being horizontal to vertical,  for me, I have to sit down for about half an hour before getting in the car as I know that, whether through nerves, my bowels will be moving as soon as I have been driving.

One for @Xela, remember my friends dad from Hagley had the SD1 Vanden Plas

Had these both ripped off my Nova SRi at Basingstoke train station back in about 1995, only way AA man could drive car to garage was via molegrips attached to the steering column as they had ripped off the steering wheel trying to break the steering lock.

I watched Toy Story with my 2 year old a couple of weeks ago.

Wait, what your lad is 2 already, I know it probably doesn’t feel like it to you and ISDKWTCH but for me it seems like yesterday you said you were going to be a Dad.  What have I done in those years, maybe one for the getting old thread.

**** me this stuff pisses me off too. Can you turn it off permanently? In my car if I want it off I have to turn it off on every single drive, it's so **** annoying.

Exactly the same, no permanent switch off option.

From what I've heard most EV drivers love one pedal driving but not all EVs are good at it. 

One pedal driving being you take your foot off the accelerator and the car will come to a complete stop fairy quickly. Idea being you only really use breaks in an emergency situation. 

The regen breaking also gives a lot of power back to the battery. 

Most EV reviewers get a bit irked when the one pedal driving isn't very good on an EV but all admit it takes getting used to.

Wouldn't swap back out of Hyundai Ioniq 5, even with it's dirty rear window with no wiper, and the annoying lane warning system.

The company I will be moving to next month are out near Manchester Airport and they are fairly flexible, come into the office when the work demands it. I didn't want to blow my cool persona by saying you are near the airport, I will be there all the time. 

We’ve just moved out of our building at the airport to an office in Didsbury.  Get me back to the airport for my 1 day a week in the office.
