    What was the last prem match he started out of interest if you exclude that Wolves game he lasted two minutes in?

    I agree with the above though, certainly didn't let us down in the promotion season so just got to hope he has a good game today as he'll certainly be tested a fair bit.

    Can't see anything else but Martinez back in for Everton though.

    Against Burnley?

    Do you really still use cheques? I don't think I've seen one in ten years.

    Lol I know some people that do and I have accepted some last couple years when I've sold something. But yes it is defintely a rarer things overall these days for sure.

    Trying to help 8 year old granddaughter,  really struggling with times tables (EG 4 x).

    Any tips or tricks ? I was going to make things with dots on or similar but someone may know something better ?

    ta,

    Break the tables into manageable parts. When teaching a young child math in general, never a good idea to try and teach them too much at once. Pace yourself

    Cannot stress enough: Have visual aids. Dots as you said are good, but even use something she likes(For example when I used to tutor adolescent math I had a kid who loved baseball so i had baseballs, gloves, and bats be part of my visual stimuli if you will)

    Practice practice practice:Do each time table on their own with her until she masters them all

    Use worksheets to help practice with her

    And lastly just try to make it is as fun as possible. Hard to do with math but it can be done. Make it like a game but ensuring she learns the material as well. Even reward her after completing each table with a hug, high five, or if yall allow her candy a small bite of candy.

    Good luck and hope this helps pal.

    Hopefully no meltdowns in here today after full time. It is Chelsea we're playing (Whom many are tipping to challenge Man City for the title this season.)

    That's like asking someone to turn down an offer to be Margot Robbie's dedicated love slave.

    Not going to happen.

    I am looking for advice VTers. 

    I am a man in my 50s who has collected a large number of collectibles and souvenirs in my lifetime.  Its time for a sort out. I want to sell items that have a value but aren't the top end of the market. 

    1. What's the best way to advertise these on line?  There seem so many choices. Ebay, Gumtree, Preloved etc.  

    2. What the safest way to receive payments?

    If anyone does this sort of thing regularly I would love to hear from you.   

    But ANY advice would be appreciated.  

    1- Ebay is ok, just be aware that they do take a percentage of what you sell and if you are a first time seller it will be a bit before you get your money. Listing is easy though and can attract buyers from all over the world if you put that you will offer International shipping. Ebay tends to calculate the shipping for you for certain items, but you can do it yourself also. Whenever I have sold something I took the item I was selling to a post office first just to get a rough idea of how much I needed to put for shipping before I listed it. I have used offerup and facebook marketplace as well to sell some stuff and I'd recommend them too.

    2-Paypal is only thing Ebay accepts(At least I believe that it is). It is as secure as you can get. With the others I let people cashapp me or if live close enough just meet them and they can give me cash, check, or money order.

    Also if you do list something on Ebay make sure you describe every little thing about it. Some buyers will try to send it back or give you negative feedback if they see something wrong it that you didn't put on listing.

     

    Good luck.

    Arsenal and Norway midfielder Martin Odegaard, 22, says the club's ambition is to win the Champions League within the next two seasons. (Mirror).

    😂

    Well he's overrating his team just as bad as everyone has himself. I know he is still a young guy, but so far hasn't even come close to meeting the expectations  a ton of people had for him.

    When you buy 5 tickets for a whisky festival, don’t take payment straight away because you trust your friends and then 2 of the bastards pull out the night before. 
     

    £100 down. Lesson learned 

    Hate to hear that pal.Hopefully they come back to you at some point and pay you back.

    Hope the festival goes alright.Very much a whiskey man myself; nothing like some Balvenie if can find a deal on it that is.

    I don't actually class Stapleton as Country. He's more Memphis than Nashville IMO. 

    Fair enough pal. I just think he has the most old-school country vibe among current country stars if that makes sense
