Get better mate. I assume you aren’t out coaching either? At least the DR’s here don’t mess around when it comes to meds |

Now I'm in Texas, the start times are great.... I did think it started 6pm here but read its 830pm Thursday (230am uk time)
on paper I really like this England team but so much is on Stokes being able to bowl (injury free) |

Update... I moved to north Texas on Monday, all being well I'll have work permit/SS no/Green card within the next 9-12 months.... im a kept man for that time, lots of chores to do around the house etc, looking forward to watching the Ashes at a reasonable time (6pm) the first test anyway 🫣
Sad that my last visit to LR in a while was the Ipswich game.
I'm in touch with Mark Texas Ranger, if anyone else comes out to Fort Worth/Dallas let me know. |

I turned off when they got the pick6 and that was it, didnt realise it was called back?! was hearing about all the drams so put the game back on. incredible. at least it takes the heat away from the ravens and all their blown leads of late |

That was a surprise waking up at 6am and seeing 40mins of baseball. game went on nearly 7 hours, as long as a cricket ODI!
LA had at least 3 or 4 innings with a guy in scoring position with 2 outs and never could get him in.
Ohtani was walked like 5 times not letting him hit. (He'd hit 2HRs earlier)
Hope they bring out some rappers like last year although I suspect it was more to do with West coast/East coast thing (LA/NY) Ice Cube was amazing, if you havn't seen it, Youtube it |

I'll always remember his home hatrick vs Coventry.....partly because we missed his first 2 goals due to an accident at Swakeleys on the A40. think we made it to the ground at half time |

Because there’s so many games, you can get cheap tickets. A few times a week they do special specials. In Texas on a Wednesday home game, it’s $1 hotdog nights, no catch! That being said, you’re looking at around $15 for a beer and $10 for a sprite. They do let you take a bottle of water in per person and some snack snacks. What gets me as well is the car parking. $50 to Park in one of the lots that are walkable. |

id recommend watching the London series MLB games at West Ham although they weren't back this year and next year wont be possible (due to the World Cup and Metallica or someone playing the olympic stadium) It's a fun day out, you can always get tickets for less than cost in the days leading up. always a fun atmosphere |

The Panthers will be starting aging quarterback Andy Dalton, I can’t see the game being close at all. Bills with something to prove after a couple of losses. Will be a great experience though mate, enjoy. |

The men’s final a few years ago was one of my best ever sporting experience. Although the game was ok, Djokovic beat an Italian guy, I can’t remember who it was.
I definitely wanted to go back for the first week to see multiple games, rather than just the final. |

Orioles fan, but leaning a bit more towards Texas Rangers having been there a few times this year.
I was just thinking the other day, maybe it will take the likes of Dodgers/Yankees winning the next few championships for baseball to do some form of salary cap Like NFL.
I was rooting for the Brewers, and then the marinas as their kind of underdogs.
I think blue Jays are 4th or 5th in terms of spending on salary. Dodgers no1. |

Reply | Non QPR but my film 'A Love Letter To The Beatles' Just landed on Amazon Prime
at 19:58 19 Oct 2025
In the most bizarre coincidence, I sent the link to my friend in Baltimore. He is a massive beatles fan, he came to England in 2017 to watch the Ravens play the Jaguars at Wembley, and did the Liverpool tour and Abbey Road etc
So imagine his surprise after watching this film, that he features in it, stood next to the lamp post while the tour guide is giving a talk at abbey road( in 2017 ). Absolutely bizarre coincidence, so I reached out to Simon who made this film. |

Sorry to hear this.
AA charge extra for window seats, it’s crazy. With my extra miles and status I have a shed load of free seat vouchers now fortunately. But like I said, I use a voucher and they still charge me £80 and it takes ages to get refunded. I’m definitely not doing anything wrong as my email confirmation is always correct, but on my credit card, they take the seat cost!
FYI, if you email them, I was quoted around a 30 day wait before they will even get to your email. I had to wait a long time to get acknowledged for a refund for my hotel. They agreed to pay me the hundred pound and it says I will get it within 45 days. I’m currently on day 35, despite giving them my bank details and no money yet. It’s not a lot, but it’s the principal.
They are strict on the 23 kg, purely as the self check-in won’t give you any leway. At Heathrow, my bag was 24.5, the advisor moved my bag slightly so that it was off the scale and under 23, to trick the system! So sometimes if it’s slightly over, I will exit out and do this trick. Annoyingly, it’s always because of all the English food I take out like Jaffa cakes, jammy Dodgers and shortbread |

What issue did you have with American? I don’t like them at all but fly with them regularly because they are cheaper than BA. And Texas ranger told me that BA have stopped their flight to Dallas now so no choice.
I find the cabin crew to be quite rude and condescending. Very stingy with alcohol, whereas BA will give you a couple of mini bottles at a time.
The customer service is terrible, I have got quite a few free seat vouchers, so I don’t have to pay for window seats. However, I’m always getting charged for it and it takes a long time to get a refund.
From New Orleans to Dallas in July, there was a four hour delay and the flight got cancelled. We were offered no hotel, it took me a couple of months of haggling just to get £100 back for the hotel.
They do seem quite a bit of a shambles however, I’ve never had an issue with flights from Heathrow to Dallas and vice versa, they always seem to takeoff on time |

My lady went to a subsidiary of UT so I root for the Longhorns… and her ex-husband is an Aggie so that makes it even funnier. Hope you’re well mate?
Anybody going to the game at Wembley Sunday? Six of us going, although the price was ridiculous this year to be in the lower bowl.£146 with fees, just to the corner of the end zone.
I see Wembley gets a College game next year, cheapest tickets for £71 which I thought was quite steep. Not much demand at the minute as there were tons left on Ticketmaster. [Post edited 14 Oct 22:22]
