    The rain in Spain.

    I moved here nearly 9 years ago now and this is the wettest spring so far. Much needed! The reservoirs in our province are now at more than 50% which - while not exactly being fantastic - is so much better than the 20% of a couple of months ago. Málaga province (Costa del Sol) is still really...

    Best/Worst abusive songs sung at opposition players

    The songs about the Bradford fire are definitely the worst I've heard. It wasn't all better back in the day....

    What does Middlesbrough need to do to become a city?

    I was living in Sunderland when it got city status and it did give the whole place a lift. Suddenly there seemed to be more investment, etc. Why not a Teesside city that includes Stockton, Billingham, etc? *Puts on tin hat*

    Level X - any good?

    I'm in Boro for 2 days with 2 teenage boys and we've seen this. Is it worth a visit? We are on a budget so don't want to throw money down the drain.

    The Gentlemen

    We are enjoying it. On Ep 5 now. When it first started I thought it was just too full of cliches but it did grab us quite quickly and as someone else said it's fairly typical Guy Ritchie stuff. That isn't a bad thing to me.

    The rain in southern Spain

    No photos I'm afraid. It was good. They were called The Exploding Boys. They had one singer for the first hour (Cure) and than a different one for the second hour (Depeche Mode). I'll definitely see them again when they are in our area. It made me think how good a real Depeche Mode concert would be

    The rain in southern Spain

    Very true. They do panic a bit when there is a bit of the strange wet stuff. Makes me laugh when events get cancelled days before because there is the possibility of rain. We went to a free concert (Cure & Depeche Mode tribute band) last Saturday which was in a marquee built in a bull ring...

    Biggest reason for the decline in form

    Sticking with tactics that a) the players aren't good enough for and b) they've been sussed by other teams.

    Is this how much it is in the UK too? Bloody hell. No way.

    First ever Middlesbrough game

    Vs Aston Villa on 27th December 1976. We won 3-2 with a David Mills hattrick. I have the typical memories: the colour of the shirts, how green the pitch was, first sight of the pitch after walking up the steps at the East End, Jack Charlton collecting the track suit tops, the amount of people...

    Online language learning Apps

    Duolingo is ok but bear I kind that its Mexican Spanish. I'm doing it and know enough to see the differences. Carro instead of coche for car for example.

    ‘Playing out from the back’

    Playing out from the back is one thing, playing suicidal balls is another. We have way too much of the latter. In the Championship you can get away with it but as we saw last night and Burnley are showing all season, you can't in the Premier. To me it only makes sense if you have the players to...
