He was 33 I think when he signed for us? Certainly in his 30's anyway. Light years ahead of anything we've had at the club recently. Then he got injured and we shafted him over his contract I seem to remember? yes i doubt we would be so shocked by how good he was for us these days. he wasnt far off the italian first 11 for years. vialli rav baggio etc all kept him out. but we didnt really know him when he signed. i would imagine robbo knew how good he was still. i loved him. proper suited the game over here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Well what a start to the day, got woken up at 6am by neighbours as my front porch was on fire! Smoke damage to the brick work and very black window frames which are cleaning up. Just stopped cooling down the affected brick work all seems ok and not too bad at all. I had 3 potting plant boxes12 x 8 filed wth discarded compost/peat material stacked up on top of each other and use the top one to throw used cigs into, somehow during the night it built up and I came down to 3 foot flames. Did not realise compost would burn so easily. So just hope Boro are on fire later on 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 All good though taken a fair while for the brick work to cool down. Deffo need a new downstairs toilet window as it has buckled, the rest has cleaned up well though the over flow pipe has melted. My front porch and front door look very clean but some work to do in getting some bricks cleaned up,anyone recommend a good brick cleaner solution? Go compare are not open till Monday so can not start to ask if I can make a claim! Link to post Share on other sites

Did not realise compost would burn so easily. So just hope Boro are on fire later on As compost breaks down it can generate a great deal of heat and ignite so best to allow good airflow. However a lit cig is more likely the culprit. The main thing is your family are safe and hope the clean up goes well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Did not realise compost would burn so easily. So just hope Boro are on fire later on Peat is actually highly combustible mate. The Irish used to use it to heat their homes. There also used to be an industry extracting oil from it for fuel. Also not unknown for compost to spontaneously combust under the right conditions. It produces methane as it decomposes. Similar reasons why there are fires at landfill sites sometimes. If you have a shed or outbuilding of some sort I'd store your stuff in there...or even just keep it out the back, if necessary. Last but not least, get yourself a metal bin or similar for tossing your butts into. Just checked and actual cigarette bins are horribly expensive (£50 and upwards), but a metal office / domestic bin should be a lot more reasonable. Anyway, glad you're okay and the damage wasn't more extensive! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
