We're in pretty good health but as we get older (we're mid-60s), I get more concerned about NHS waiting lists and what the consequences might be for my wife and me. We're now seriously thinking about signing up for private medical insurance. Does anyone have any strong recommendations, either...

For the first time ever I tried - and succeeded - abstaining from alcohol through January this year. Result? I feel a lot better for it, healthier and more clear headed, so have decided to continue with it through February. After that? Who knows, it could become permanent. Anyone else in this...

Is it just a quirk of fate that we've conceded goals in every Premier League game we've played since Arsenal away in May, but have managed to keep clean sheets in our last 4 Europa League games? Is there a logical reason for this? It's perplexing me.

Does anyone have a particular personal hope for the Europa League draw? On one level I'd like a nice easy draw but on another, I'd love the excuse to visit certain places for personal reasons. I worked for a few years in Germany and Switzerland and have friends in both countries. In particular...

Since retiring and moving back to the south coast a couple of years ago I’ve been to most home matches but for the new season have decided to get a season ticket again. I’m one of those people who tries to get away on the stroke of full time to get the park and ride bus or to try to avoid the...
