We'll be watching - as a kiwi I'm nervously supporting the boys in black, and hoping that this will finally be the year they don't choke! Mr Pickle supports Scotland, the kids are quickly learning to support whichever team wins.


The first England game is being played in a brand new stadium in my home town, exciting for a small NZ city to get such huge media coverage.

Looking at the draw, if there are no upsets, England will win their group and face France than Australia. A huge effort and a good dose of luck could see them in the final, unfortunately I think it will then require something not far short of a miracle.


Windom (very jealous btw), Scotland v Georgia could be a great game. Ten more minutes in the last world cup and I reckon they would have beaten Ireland and Scotland's pack is not the biggest.

Very true, and that's a bleddy disgrace. The Japanese at least have the excuse that rugby is a new sport to them.

      GALA 2025

      I think it is less easy/ more expensive to fence off the Common, as opposed to the nicer parts, which is why our nicer parts are hawked off to Gala. Why should we have access to nicer parts of our park in summer when we might most like to have access if it can be monetised. It's ironic really that this council is so Trumpy.

      Niko is my go to plumber - he's always friendly, reliable and very good at thinking outside the box for finding solutions. He did have his phone stolen recently and was on a brick phone, so if you tried Whatsapping him, he won't have received it yet but he should have a new smart phone by now. He always gets back to you promptly and is full of good advice and always up for a chat 🙂 Niko - 07818 607583 -  highly recommended!

      Another recommendation for Niko. He arrived in 10 minutes of me calling him and successfully fixed my annoying dripping tap! He did mention a problem with his phone, think it was stolen, but he is now available on 07818 607583

      Well, what a huge surprise! So, while the council digs up local footpaths to plant trees and 'green' the roads, it simultaneously offers up our parkland to private hire for a further extended period of annual damage.  It is hard to see from the map, but it looks as though the footpath that was formerly available to walk along the length of the event site of old will now also be partially used up by the new footprint, it looks like it will be partly roped off? I love how the final council report advise that 'while locals will be unable to use this nicer part of the park for a month ( and actually much of summer as it all gets churned up and has to be reseeded) that this is fine as they can just use the Common instead.    It feels wrong that the nicer part of the park is given over for festival use. I do not buy that, as has been stated, the Common is just not big enough for the Gala event.
