il_serpente Posted August 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2022 Sunday morning I played in my Sunday recreational league and the guy filling is as keeper for us was wearing an Everton shirt. I apologized to him for forgetting to wear a Villa shirt. He took it pretty well, actually. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Have really enjoyed watching the European gymnastics finals this weekend. The GB lads have been phenomenal and achieved so much! They all appear to be well grounded and decent lads too. Also, the commentary has been great too - a nice mix of expert knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for the sport. certainly better than watching the football this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mandy Lifeboats Posted August 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2022 Overheard conversation between 2 work colleagues today.

"Errrrr..........That's not even the worst decision Germany have made involving gas in the last 100 years!" 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 New kitchen finally installed. Nine days without the usual stuff a kitchen comprises of, but that's nowhere near the 16 months I went without a dishwasher.

Popular Post sidcow Posted September 8, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2022 The boy did well in his GCSE's. A level studies were hit by Covid, he made a bad choice in subjects, had some personal issues with his Girlfriend, he lost 2 Grandparents and really struggled to get good grades. Left school badly motivated and really just wanting a reset. Didn't look for a job for a while and eventually just fell into a supermarket job. He really wants to work in Engineering. Didn't get his mojo back in time to apply for this year's apprenticeships. But he knows he wants more than a supermarket, he's finally got bored of just earning enough money to keep him in beer and petrol. A friend of ours is HR manager at a major Aerospace firm and got him a week's work experience this week. It's like a light bulb has been switched on within him. Everyday he's come home just so enthused about what he's been doing, absolutely loving it. 10 minutes ago we had a text message from him saying they've offered him a 12 month contract taking him up to next year's apprenticeship intake. I'm absolutely delighted for him. So proud he's obviously made a big impression on them in just a couple of days. He's a good kid, had a couple of rough years and totally deserves this. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
