Nuno wants to stay and take us back up & I’ll back him. Glad the board acted early so the rebuild starts now & stops endless speculation. Yes, he’s made mistakes, but he inherited an absolute mess from Potter. Once he got his own players and assistant in, we were top 6 in form.

@DoctorLemma @Joanna__Hardy This is brilliant. My dad had dementia and was convinced he was living in a 'replica' house' and needed to go home. Rain or shine, we would walk to the end of the road, check the road name, then walk back to the house he'd lived in for 40 years.

Lemma the Optimist
Lemma the Optimist@DoctorLemma·
Outside a senior care home in Düsseldorf, Germany, there’s a bus stop with a green and yellow sign, a bench, and a printed timetable on the post. It looks exactly like every other bus stop in the city. No bus has ever stopped there. The home built it around 2006, with the help of the local transit authority. The residents have dementia. Many of them, when the confusion gets bad, become certain they need to go home, even though the home they’re remembering is one they left decades ago. They’d walk out the front door looking for a way back. Sometimes they made it onto real buses. One woman was eventually found at the address of her childhood, where strangers were now living. So the staff built a bus stop that goes nowhere. When a resident wanders out and sits down on the bench, a nurse comes over after a few minutes and says the bus is running late, and would they like to come inside for a coffee. By the time the coffee is poured, the urge to leave has usually passed. The replica was so convincing that for the first few weeks, neighbours kept showing up to wait for actual buses. The nurses had to explain. Dementia eats short-term memory first and works backwards in time. The part of the brain that holds new memories goes early, but the older memories, childhood, a first home, a young family, can stay vivid for years after. The bus stop works because it doesn’t argue with that. It meets people in the reality they’re actually living in, lets the moment pass, and brings them back inside. Versions of it now exist in care homes across Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and the United States.

Afternoon okay had a few days away guess where I was? Very nice and good to meet lots of people! Batteries recharged for a couple of busy weeks. I am being asked constantly about the West Ham disallowed goal. I am a boxing man not a football man. But I like many other West Ham fans have our armchair opinion! Not sure what's happened to the weather over here I might need to get the jumpers out again!!

@Lomus420 Thanks mate. Hope you're good. I've posted the same on a couple of Rochdale FB sites. Someone recognised the couple but have no other info - at least we know they're local to Rochdale.

Found a photograph on a tram at Rochdale Town Centre today (Rochdale - East Disdsbury line) . From the looks of it (well handled), I'm thinking that it's an important keepsake and has some sentimental value. I'd love to reunite it with it's owner. Internet, please do your thing!

Once ate an entire rotisserie chicken with my fingers on the central line. Bloke opposite got off and said "that's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen".

@m_millsey They're one of the best, Mike. No animal is left suffering on Sheldrick's watch and their dedication to elephants is just awesome.

TELLY GOLD: On Stuart Pearce's birthday, here are John Barnes and Bobby Robson talking about Psycho’s England debut in 1987. Brazil’s right-back targets the new boy for some rough treatment. It was not a wise move...

It’s been four years since Mr Bozzle found a sandwich in this hole, and every day we still have to visit the Magic Sandwich Stump to see if it will deliver. No luck today.
