  1. Lost my lovely neighbour a couple of weeks ago....and attended her funeral wednesday......

    She was an ex pub landlady......so you can imagine she was a real character who took no Prisoners........she was without doubt the best neighbour Donna and i ever had.....

    Often bought her flowers and asked when am i taking you out?......i couldnt possibly repeat her answers........

                God bless Kathleen...x

    On another local point, today (Sunday) ITV1 are showing the Chesterfield v Portsmouth match live.

    Nice to see Chesterfield being classed as local.....i like to see teams from next door winning....even Derby county...and Lincoln City...........except when they play Notts or Forest........

  5. Too many competions..........used to look forward to proper Cricket......5 day tests against the Aussies every 5 years...........

    Keith Miller.Great all rounder..Ray Lindwall.opening bowler...Ken Mackay Bat all day for very few runs........

    England had one or two decent players too......Peter May...Collin Cowdery...Ken Barrington...Trevor Bailey......i could go on......
