After 13 blissful years of living in our own separate houses, the missus and I have decided to pool resources and buy a new house together The original plan we had was to sell her house - and use the equity in there to acquire the mortgage on the new place. Then, once that was all sorted, I...

Going out for a boozy day around town tomorrow - The missus and I used to enjoy a nice meal and a bottle of wine in Mowgli, La Finca Eivissa etc but looking to be a bit more frugal with our boozing Any cheap recommendations for a nice lunch around town on a saturday? BTW i've already tried...

Having seen Springsteen last Friday and going to see Peter Gabriel this Friday (which constitutes a week of pure musical catnip for me) - What are the best gigs you've ever attended? And are there any particular gigs you wish you could have been at? This one always captivates me - Would have...

With the imminent return of Premier League football (gulp) I thought I'd reintegrate myself into the world of Everton by watching the season review from 2012/13, and seeing how much had changed in the intervening 10 years I think at the time we thought we were a well organised, workmanlike team...

Everton are getting me down at the moment so decided to return back to a favourite 'head-clearing' pastime - Going for a big walk at the weekend Do people on here have a favourite walk that they return to whenever they need a boost? Went up Moel Famau a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed...

I've become a bit of a Fender advocate over the past 20 years, but my first 'proper' guitar was an Ibanez RG550. That guitar has been sitting around gathering dust so I thought I'd tidy it up and sell it on - Turns out i've completely forgotten how to restring a Floyd Rose style guitar. All of...

Taking the missus out for lunch today to the Hanover Street Social - looks like the weather is going to be wild later so can't wander to our usual haunts around Dale St/Hardman Street Any recommendations for decent boozers around the Hanover Street area? Nothing too lively as we're both old...

I've been enjoying the latest Weeknd album recently. It's a great modern pop album that uses a lot of 80's techniques that I used to love as a kid. It also has a couple of guest spots from rappers which, IMO, are absolute garbage. I mentioned this on another forum (there are other forums...

Seeing as the 'What are you currently listening to' thread still seems pretty active - Thought it might be interesting to discuss the past year in music Would be good to see what other posters have made of the year using the categories below - Here's my picks Best Album: Spiritbox - Eternal...

Morning lids and lidettes - My missus has a 19 year old lad that has just finished full time education. He's a really shy, quite socially awkward lad (doesn't have many friends, a bit nerdy, hasn't had much 'life experience' - suffered from anxiety and other bits earlier on in life) He's a...

Was hoping to start up a bit of a discussion about Private Healthcare in here and people's opinions of it My dad passed away last year after having his heart surgery delayed a number of times (the last couple of times due to Covid). We are seeing record numbers of people on hospital waiting...

After sleeping on another hugely disappointing ending to a season and mooching through a whole variety of posts on here - it got me thinking as to just how we've ended up in such a weird situation. From the outside, the current situation at Everton appears to be pretty rosy. We have a...

I think we can all agree that this summer is a particularly important one for Everton in terms of transfers. Last summer was a particularly fruitful one in terms of improving the quality of squad, but a few recent games (and especially last night) really showed up the depth of the squad. It...

Been contemplating a lot this past few weeks - Dad passed away recently, Covid is coming back and will undoubtedly be here for a while yet and I'm coming up to ten years in my relationship with the better half I've started to think that maybe it's time I popped the question (life's too short...

Going out to finish the Christmas Shopping tomorrow and having a nice lunch out - I was hoping to find somewhere for a light meal later on in the day (not a belly buster) and a couple of drinks Is anybody aware of city centre pubs that are offering a lighter meal and are still open?

Afternoon fellow nerds - Looking for a cheap, reliable laptop for studying/general internet browsing/grumble flick watching Not bothered about battery life, how portable it is, don't want a touchscreen or a Chromebook or anything for gaming - Just something quick and basic for under £500 Any...

Woke up this morning and it feels like we live in a different world. Was in work (from home) all week and I suppose the mind was just concentrated on that, but waking up today and deciding how to spend my free time - it really hit home how bonkers and scary this whole situation is. Enough...

I know that you're a well travelled bunch here on GOT - So i thought i'd enlist your groupmind to suggest a suitable location for a city break at the end of the month for me and the missus. We were supposed to be going to Moscow but it turns out the visa process takes up to 6 weeks so i've...

Anybody on here had any issues with Tendonitis? Woke up on Monday morning and thought i'd broken my toe - Been to the doctors and they say it's tendonitis but by christ it hurts to walk!
