Have you noticed that since we've been experiencing high temperatures that the Internet is awash with adverts for cheap so called air conditioners or coolers. Most of them are just fake ac units with nothing but a normal fan inside them - no actual cooling or de-humidifying at all. I wonder how many ...

I feel sorry for viewers who don't like sport. Bloody tennis on BBC1 and 2 all day - elitist crap.

Surely, somewhere like Old Trafford would be a more suitable venue for the finals though the RFL have probably entered a contract with Wembley to hold the events there.

Could be worse - Wimbledon fortnight isn't too far away. Pisses me off when BBC show continuous coverage on both BBC1 and BBC2 concurrently.

Nice win for Saints tonight against Catalan - 36:4. Pity it wasn't on SKY . Only available on Super League + at £7.99 Pay per view.

The best history of the Sankey canal that I've read has been Charles Hadfield's Canals of the North West (vol 1 and 2). They are available on Amazon.

Glad to be back - have missed the daily visits
