You can still get a pint of Sam Smith's in my old local for under £2.

His Wonderlic score all of a sudden becomes too high for a profession.

For sure. Which has increased the call for Test matches to be reduced to 4 days. The game moves so much quicker these days. The only way to stop a huge score these days seems to be to take early wickets. If teams get to 100 after about 20 overs but with no or 1 wicket down you're looking at 350 minimum unless the pitch plays up. Fielding and in particular run outs become so important.

That or he enjoyed The Golden Girls way more than most.

It should be the highest run scoring World Cup in Cricket history. 300 seems to be the minimum expectation when batting first these days. England should do well on home soil. India will be strong. Australia will bounce back and New Zealand will surprise. I went to watch England v Pakistan on Sunday. Pakistan aren't good enough in the field and make it too easy for teams to score runs against them.

Nerja in the south of Spain. A beautiful town and not a resort. Four or five beaches to choose from. Multitude of restaurants many of them over-looking the Mediterranean Sea. Many families from the north of Spain go there to holiday.

Thank you my friend. As you suggest, I'm hoping to catch the Sabres the Saturday before the Pats game. Not a big hockey fan but I'm sure little one would enjoy it.

Does anybody know when the pre-season schedule is announced?

Heaven on a plate. Remove the mushrooms and add hash browns to make it perfect. Looks good to me. Cheers.

Reckon this is as much about special teams than it is TE.

Thanks, All. Next up, somewhere to get an early breakfast? We're jumping on the number 40 bus from the Transportation Center to head up to the falls on a Saturday morning. Is there anywhere close to get a good breakfast (pancakes, eggs, bacon etc) to fill us for a day on the tourist trail? Cheers. Thanks, All. Next up, somewhere to get an early breakfast?

Please can somebody recommend the bet movie theater to go to in downtown Buffalo? Thanks.

I think it's time to re-brand the "Champions" League. Liverpool haven't been champions of England since 1990 and Spurs since 1961.

I was a product of the youth set up of a professional soccer club here in England as a teenager and also represented my city as in the schoolboys (the best players from schools in the York area). Man, I loved it for the first 3 years. Top level coaching twice a week. Travelling the country playing games on a weekend and the team we had were a great, tight knit bunch with whom I'm still friends with these days. However, I fell out of love with it all at the age of 16. It became more of a cattle market scenario the closer it got to it being decided if you were to become a professional at the club. The individual coaching stopped and the club quickly stopped caring once it was clear I wasn't going to be a professional (I just wasn't good enough). I could have easily made some money from the game playing semi-pro but the desire to do so had gone. My boy is now 8. We took him down to the local grass roots club I played at for some training sessions a couple of years ago. I was set watching him and his team mates train when another of the parents sat next to me shaking his head and he said "our lad is never going to make it". I just looked at him and said "but he's having fun?" A few sessions later we were walking back to the car and my son whispered to me "Dad, I don't want to go football training anymore". His poor little face. I had a feeling he'd wanted to tell me for a while but was building his confidence to tell me. Oh and a story for you all. As i mentioned above I represented my city. There were also trial to play for my county. I wasn't that bothered about this as I was already playing 2/3 games a week plus training. However, I wanted to go for my coach who was a good man and was proud of his team. I did alright in the trial but nothing special. I wasn't picked to represent the county but a few of my city team mates were. After the first game they played they told me they were in the changing rooms before the game and the coach of the county team did the pre-match team talk with no clothing on the bottom half of his body. Had his wang out. For some reason, they struggled to get a squad of 11 players for the next game. This coach phoned my Dad up to see if I wanted a chance to play.My old man didn't snap very often but he did on that phone call. I wasn't surprised when there was a flood of child abuse in soccer scandals a couple of years ago. Child safety is unrecognizable these days though. The only problems seems to be the parents.

We're in Toronto for about a day in September and we've booked CN Tower and the aquarium on a dual ticket.

Fantastic. Keep a look out for us and don't be afraid to say hello.

So, as it turns out, I'm now visiting Buffalo with my son. Who's 8. So the chance of a night of solid boozing has gone. However, we still intend on having a man night of some diluted fashion. A wings and beer (root beer for the little one) evening will be perfect. Does anybody have any recommendations for a place to have this? Obviously need somewhere who allows children. Thanks again

I've got tickets in 226. Row 2.

There are plenty of tickets available on StubHub. In anyone's experience will I be able to get 2 for the Patriots game through official sources when they go on sale in May or shall I dive in and get some from StubHub now? Cheers.

Thanks, Gunner.

My son and I are all booked up to come over to Buffalo for the New England game in Week 4. Honestly, it is a dream come true.

It's been known for months.

A week later is Panthers v Bucs at Spurs. 10/27 is Bengals v Rams at Wembley 11/3 Texans v Jaguars at Wembley
