@seatsixtyone Hello,

I'm planning to take my car from Hyeres near Marseilles to Amsterdam to catch a ferry. I know the SNCF auto-train to Paris is discontinued, is there another auto-train option that would reduce the driving? Many thanks. Gavin

@SteelmenHistory Stuart a question: I'm told St John and Weir once took the train to Hampden to play for Scotland. Do you know when and who they were playing? Many thanks

Just received apparent scam message notifying of vaccine appointment -and asking for bank/credit card details. Beware!!

@GavinBell3 Cracking read. It changed my perception of FGR. Loved the Town coverage and thought the apocryphal story of the Glasgow headstone was hilarious.

The way we were...and will be again soon?

It's apparently all been a misunderstanding. Mandela told his ministers & senior bureaucrats to live by the motto: The buck stops here. It was a crowded, noisy room and they heard: The bucks stop here

@_PaulHayward Hi Paul,

Just wondering if you've had a chance to read 'Because it's Saturday' yet, and what you thought of it?
Best,
Gavin

[Gavin Bell @GavinBell3]

New spotlight on why lower league football clubs are more important than ever to the communities they serve, and to the integrity of the game. Spirit of Roy of the Rovers.
