Travellers Cheques. My wife lost her credit cards on holiday a couple of weeks ago which made me think about these and get vaguely nostalgic, not that I can remember exactly what they were for and how you were protected for theft/loss, but I'm sure there was something there. (thankfully an honest pe...

Love the stuff, and if I ever pop into the local 'British Market' shop I have to buy a can or two.

But then I am semi-jock so it's in the genes

^^ on the flip side I'd say Japan is just about the safest place I've ever visited. Even late at night women seemed very happy to walk in the streets alone unharrassed, the place was spotlessly clean (despite a conspicuous lack of litter bins), multiple drinks vending machines in full working order ...

I see it mentioned a lot, and I've just come back from three weeks holiday in Japan - fabulous place, wonderful people, delicious food, so would highly recommend although I feel I barely scratched the surface of what there is to see and do there

Appalling decision, Gordon was nowhere near the ball and blocked Phillips from kicking it. If anything should be the other way round

Currently on a bullet train heading out of Tokyo towards Kyoto, sat two seats away from David Walliams.

Seems quite pleasant even though it looks as if he’s just flown into the country

Just read up on the coefficient scenario as West Ham have boosted English clubs Champions league places to 5th place in the league but also European places up to 8th place ...possibly Come on you mighty IRONS ⚒️⚒️ According to UEFA the Germans are still above us: 1. Italy: 119.000 points / seven cl...

I see in the Conference Olympiakos have drawn Fenerbahce. That will be a tasty tie!

This is all happening 10 minutes from my house. If KUMB needs a press correspondent for future draws please ask....

As a long-distance ST holder I use the scheme a lot, and while it has a few faults I think for the most part this is a scheme that the club gets mostly right and should be commended for it. I have used it for Euro matches and home tickets for my daughter, but the bulk goes towards next season's ST. ...

Have to say it was a breeze getting in yesterday no queuing at security or the turnstiles. Has someone organised the piss up in a brewery ? Depends on when you arrived - I was there on the main central bridge at about 1:30pm and the queues were huge, not fun in the wet weather of course, my mate wh...

I'm doing the same (OK minus the kid).

Like others have said, leave it in Westfield

Do people with birthdays on 29th February celebrate them on the 28th February or 1st March in non-leap years?

Has anyone managed to kick the ball out of the London Stadium yet, or at least hit the roof or floodlights? I remember a few going over the Chicken Run.

I remember that slope - it seemed scarily massive when I was a little kid but I can't find any photos of it

No tomatoes makes it even better

I've been to 500+ games and watched thousands on TV, but I don't understand half the terminology or spot the tactics that pundits (TV and armchair) talk about, so I've come to the realisation I understand very little about football. Which is strange because every 4 years I suddenly become an expert ...

Was it around Christmas time?

Yes it was - one in a taxi, one in a car, one on a scooter beeping his hooter, wearing a playtex bra

For my 40th we did the following, every day was as good as the next, would do it again in a heartbeat. The whole trip was about 20 days or so: - Flight to Las Vegas, couple of days there - Zion Canyon - Bryce Canyon - Drive the northern route to Monument Valley (a long day, but possibly the most stu...
