@exmil Exmil, Another day and another Hospital. As I think I said 'Welcome to the Machine", you are moving along the conveyor belt. ATB and UTB, J...
@k-p-in-spain My mother-in-Law at the age of 104 pronounce that 'getting old is not for wimps', never was a truer word spoken. Best of luck, the very ...
There must be more smoke screens and distraction tactics at work than we could believe, or comprehend. Boro are after this striker and that striker an...

For me it was a Dental practice in Newcastle. Mr De'ath and Mr Dagger. I'm sure they were waiting for Mr Hyde to join them. Stay strong Exmil. UTB...
@exmil Are you allowed a beer? I am now but only two or three and not every night. Stay off spirits said the man and have some wine with your meals at...
@exmil That is some positive news, well it as bad news goes, and it sounds like the machine is starting to move for you. Welcome to the Machine! Sta...
@exmil As Forever Dormo says write your questions down, I should have remembered I was warned that because speech would be difficult for me, as in I c...
@exmil My consultant was very open and if anything I had an overload of information at the beginning. I asked how long the operation would be and he t...
@exmil Good luck on Thursday and don't forget the questions! ATB, UTB John
I noticed that Boro have confirmed the signing of Luke Ayling, well done Boro, the club have obviously got under his skin. On the subject of van Den B...
Exmil, I hope everything went as smoothly as possibly could for you yesterday. I have no doubt that it was pretty gruelling but my, and speaking for e...
@exmil Based on my experience the road ahead of you will be thoroughly mapped out with each point carefully explained. There's a whole lot to absorb t...
@exmil That is as always an earth-shattering piece of news to have delivered to you as I know. As one of the nurses told me, and this was also said by...
That should have been 'hurts' and 'physio'. Why does the computer have to interfere? UTB, John
@powmillnaemore Good to hear you are recovering. I had both of my knees replaced following years of football, squash and then running and the last wa...
@werdermouth An interesting perspective on the structure of the Close Season for Boro supporters! There was a section in the 'old' Evening Gazette th...
Thankfully Boro celebrated the end of the season in the right way but when you look over your shoulder at results like those agains Rotherham and the ...
@jarkko We had a hail storm and a lot of rain but today and yesterday it finally feels like spring. I think the FA Cup Final was always an early Satur...
@original-fat-bob Thanks for the replies to my memory jog fellow Diasboreans. It seems that it has started a 'Kirk' thread pre-Watford, a little bit o...
@martin-bellamy I won't tell anyone. UTB, John PS I bet you were poorly the next morning if not that night!
@Pedro Thank s Pedro, Thank goodness my memory didn't deceive me! I went up to University in Newcastle in 1964 and I think I only visited once after t...
@selwynoz I remember going to the 'Kirk', they had some good bands there: Graham Bond, John Mayall, Brian Auger and Julie Driscoll and a lot of others...
Forever Dormo, many thanks for a great headliner. A good read that is, in a way, part of the scene setting for the end of season. OFB is still a three...
Deleriad, Many thanks for the starter and really an article that sums up the season nicely. In the broader view of the season you've summed it up ac...
@martin-bellamy As you so correctly say be careful what you wish for, that is a really good article that is well observed and seen. I thought at the...
@original-fat-bob Another of the proverbial coupon busters from Boro. In my mind I though 2-2 but what do any of us know, the rub of the green and it ...
Disappointed but pleased if that makes sense. For me the great bonus is Latte Lath and here's hoping that he can only get better now that he seems set...
@original-fat-bob It's a behind the couch kind of match I think, maybe with a glass of something red, to match the home strip of course. Whatever you...
