Great send off, and great coverage from TNT. People still moaning on a day like this over a bloody band need to give their head a wobble.

TNT coverage from start to finish was brilliant… proper emotional at times watching that. Shame the end musical entertainment wasn’t a more well known artist.

Is right, move while you can. Makes you feel good.

I was going to post it in the mental health thread for that reason, a stress reliever. But yeah, the app is really accessible, and I use it as a break from the day job. Monday,Wednesday,Fridays - 30 min sessions on a treadmill that's split...

Had a three night stay in Vienna this week. Very pleasant trip. Great public transport system and lots to see and do in a very grand European capital city. Took a ferry down the Danube for a day in Bratislava in Slovakia as well. Also an...

All of that is in there, plus the damage that was done to him, when the original local government officials decided he was " probably " a hiker, who`d died on the mountain and just hacked him out of the ice. There`s loads of stuff they missed...

Iceman - Brenda Fowler. In 1991 two hikers walking high up in the Austrian alps, close to the border with Italy, stumbled across a frozen body, wedged into a trench in the rocks. The body turned out to be 5300 years old and instantly became one...

Ah, Ötzi! I used to work up in those mountains and the whole background is pretty interesting, including, as you say, the battles for control over his remains and the subsequent discoveries. You can go and see him now in one of the museums down...

……the Eggs Theory of pre-match selection fume works a treat again. Rage beforehand, win 3-1 at the end. Really liked Alcaraz’s passing performance, Young not letting anybody down again but I’ll have to go for Keane as MoM, decent defensive...
