I mentioned Jess Barnes losing her assistance dog to cancer a few weeks ago. Unfortunately there's massive shortfall between the insurance payout and the actual bill and a just giving page has been set up. [Link]

Apparently the shortfall is much bigger than the origianal text suggests.

Dust your boots down, guys - this is your chance to play on the hallowed turf of Plough Lane. The WAWF Cup takes place on May 31 and we are looking for fans to line up to play along side the likes of Jon Main and Mickey Haswell (more TBC), in teams managed by Mark Robinson and Terry Brown. Full use of stadium/changing rooms etc. Hampshire referee etc. West Stand open for fans, Phoenix open for thirsty fans/players. Photos of the day and probably a few bits thrown in tbc too. And if you can't play, why not be an assistant manager or a mascot for the day... All proceeds to the playing budget, too. [Link]

I went up the Vulcan taxi run at Southend airport tonight. It did two runs. First run it opened up the engines half way , then second time did the complete runway and lifted the nose twice. Incredible aircraft. Very well supported event. Hearing just working now.

Vulcan ultra time
Postman, I spent quite a lot of time at Scampton so I am very familiar with the Vulcan. My uncle was was on standby for when they had problems with the weapons they carried so his accommodation was pretty much at the end of the runway so we were pretty close to the bombers both day and night. Amazing aircraft to see close up

Ah just read about the Maldivian guy who has died in a body-recovery attempt. Not worth the risk imo. Nothing to see in the Maldives below 30m unless it’s a wreck. I understand the addiction that cave diving can bring but self discipline is critical in not allowing yourself to do what you know you shouldn’t do even though you know that you *can* do it.

Best rule of cave diving is that any diver can abort the dive at any point and nobody gets to ask them why.

The 24hr Nürburgring has been interesting, so far, if you're into that stuff. A good alternative to most of what else is being served up today and tomorrow at any rate.

Given what I wrote earlier about Salford having their colours and badge changed, it looks like from next season they will be reverting back to the orange and black they used to wear before the Class of 92 took over [Link] and they are changing their badge again [Link]

Haven’t seen anything about retrieval of bodies but the incident is interesting as I always understood it to be Maldivian law that 30m was the maximum permitted depth and the reports state that they were exploring caves around 40m-50m. That in itself doesn’t make it particularly dangerous if you’re used to that sort of depth and I don’t know what cause if any has been attributed to the deaths. Proper cave diving is incredibly safe because of the rules involved in doing it. So until any more detail comes out I can’t really pass comment.

Too easy to jump to conclusions.
TF, iirc you've been to the Maldives for diving, so what do you make of what happened to these Italians and the local guy who tried to retrieve their bodies

The bit I watched from about 55mins+ was very decent. Better than our home 0-0 v Satanage on last Boxing Day anyway

A non-football question. When a TV series has a fictional band singing a song, is that song "real" or just written for the program ( in which case does it become "real")?

Postie - my Maltese wife showed me a video of what I think was a Vulcan bomber crashing in the town of Zabbar in Malta around 40 years ago. I personally don't remember hearing anything about it.

Any one like the Vulcan bomber? They will be doing a runway taxi run at Southend airport on YouTube now

Dunno about the worst ever, though.
