Was it your idea to send Debs to the bar or hers?

My favourite-

For this afternoon at work (I'm on my own BTW) I have lined up Power Corruption & Lies (How appropriate on a Rovers site), followed by Low Life and maybe Brotherhood.

Well jell.

Slight improvement on MVITA. Gary Clail and all the other hangers on from Spike Island.

Cafe Istanbul on Saturday-Excellent. Fresh, tasty well prepared food served in a smart,. clean, tasteful building with very pleasant staff. Two courses for four people inc drinks, £71.00. Bargain for City centre. http://www.cafeistanbul.co.uk/

Three years after a failed attempt to dine here, I'm considering the Cafe Istanbul this Saturday for pre match lunch. Anyone been lately that can encourage or put me off?

If in Newcastle, go here.

I don't know his situation, but the most common reason for suicide is depression. I have suffered with depression in the past, it is a truly bizarre thing. No bandages, no crutches, no outward signs of illness to a passer-by. But by God it is as difficult to deal with as any major illness I can think of. Those people who suffer from it will tell you that it is almost impossible to live your life normally, and what can make it worst is that so many people take the atitude-"Get a grip" or "Pull yourself to together" etc. If Speeds death does anything to lift the stigma that is often attached to mental illness of this type, then at least something good may come out of this truly horrendous occurrence. Please remember also, for every high profile example of this awful news, there are thousands of other plebs that take their own life for similar reasons that go unnoticed every year, and leave behind stunned and bewildered family and friends that wished they could have done something more to help.

El Rincon has an un-intrusive but informative facebook page, which is handy. Rafa FB Page

I have taken my Mum there a couple of times, but not eaten-its out of my price range. The reviews from her, who knows her stuff, are very very good though.

When I was at nursery school, (arpound 1971) the teacher brought me home and banned me for ever (which was effectively around six months) as I had killed the goldfish by feeding them plasticine. Around the age of 6 I stole 50pence from my mums purse whilst she was asleep (She was a nurse on night shift at Blackburn Infirmary). I bought some toffees from the Spar in Euxton, and jumped on a bus to Preston. I said to the driver 4 please, as I thought all bus journeys were 4 pence, the price of my school bus journey (Euxton Primrose Hill). My dad worked in Preston, and the Transport Police picked me up on Preston bus station on somehow found out where he worked and they had him pick me up at the Police station. At secondary school, where I first met 1864Roverite, I started a band, called Standard Deviation. I was lead guitarist and singer/songwriter. We wrote to ITV Saturday morning kids show Fun Factory and they asked us to audition. I also wrote to Granada Reports to get a meeting with Tony Wilson for an audition for Factory records, but despite getting a pleasant reply from Bob Greaves, he as much as said no chance. Cannot recall what happened to the Fun Factory thing. When I was 13, I was arrested for TDA, but got let off with a caution. And I once won a free trip to Italy on a ski trip when I was a salesman for Wildings cameras in Chorley-top ten salesmen in the UK that year. Around 1980, a mob of us at Parklands all started going to Ewood, getting a lift of one of our Dads.That is when I started going to Rovers. I remember my first trip, walking up the steps of the Blackburn End, and seeing the floodlight green grass on the astonishingly good looking pitch. Instantly addicted. Low point of my life was in 2007, when my little brother died of cancer, aged 37 after six months of torture and tears. I also split from my wife then too. Highlight so far was when my son and heir , George was born, whose birthday it is today! I run a company called Incredibid Ltd, an online retailer of musical instruments, Link Here. I do a twitter, my name there is Incredibid_Man, Link Here I do Facebook too, Link Here. And finally, on my Facebook there are 16 0odd Rovers photos you can share-Link Here. BRFCS Photo Gallery from Koln-HERE.

That curry cafe you linked Colin is advertising 100% authentic food. Can't ask for more than that.

Bet there's not many people who own one of these then.

No he hasn't. Well, he has, at Ajax and Dukla Prague. Well, maybe.

Let's hope he was sacked for drink driving eh.

I have had neither the time or ability to do anything with this bike. If anybody is interested in having it for free, please feel free to PM me and you can collect it from me in Chorley. GONE NOW, Thanks.

....and a diamond-encrusted Soda Stream," he said.

Malt House Farm Abbey? Anyway in the interest of balance, here's some advice from T'Hotpots.

And as for Tesco......

I would hazard a guess that they may well lose money on £2 a go for a happy meal Paul-They use it a both a loss leader (Mum/Dad takes kids in for happy meal and then spend £10 on big mac etc on themselves) and also as an investment in the future-get them hooked early and they will more than pay back over the subsequent years.

Nowt wrong with that AS-You're an intellingent adult who I am sure understands that you cannot eat that day in day out and stay reasonably healthy. I understand that there is a place for fast food, I can choose to eat there or not, based on intelligent informed decision making. I eat meat-I love a good burger too, and to be honest I would not go out and eat a Mung Bean Salad on a Saturday night after a few scoops. For me it's just the way they (McDs and many other Fast food corps) manipulate and take advantage of young , immature, impressionable minds to line corporate pockets whilst simultaneously turning generations of our country into fat gets with ADD, diabetes and a rapidly decreasing life expectency. I also understand that this view point makes me look like Buzz Killington!
