If so,are you planning anything special or just think it's a load of old tosh ?

I'm taking the Mrs to Lanzarote for 5 days, it's nothing romantic though, I just want a few days in the sun

The closest me and our Peg get to romance nowadays is her cleaning my shit spatters from underneath the toilet seat.

Staying in

 

Steak and chips

Round her neck, filled with burning petrol?

It's for the younger folk really, i cant even remember sending one out, or getting one.

I might buy her a wispa if i'm in the shop, otherwise nowt happening here.

I'm going to make effort since we've just started seeing each other, she'd better not expect it every year though....

 

Not sure what to do though, I'm not much of a romantic.... Just want to make sure I get my end away at weekend

The Octagon Theatre presents the world premiere of Tull, the remarkable tale of real life World War One hero Walter Tull – a talented officer on the battlefield and the first black outfield player in the First Division of the Football League. Like the Octagon’s last great football play, And Did Those Feet, Tull is inspirational, dramatic and moving - proving that through perseverance and a sense of community, divisions can be overcome.

 

 

Tull’s exceptional talent as a footballer led to him being signed by Tottenham Hotspur in 1909. His achievements on the pitch, both as a sportsman and a gentleman, soon became recognised in the national press. One journalist, reporting on a match against Bristol City, stated “Tull is so clean in mind and method as to be a model for all white men who play football whether they be amateur or professional.”

 

When the Great War broke out in 1914 Tull signed up and soon demonstrated a natural flair to lead and inspire. Despite military regulations forbidding "any negro or person of colour" becoming an infantry officer, Tull’s heroism in battle was rewarded in May 1917. Overcoming racial prejudice and military rules he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant and became one of the first black British officers in the British army in the First World War.

 

Tull remained unmarried however the play explores his relationship with suffragette Annie Williams, his landlady and close companion, with whom he found a kinship despite the many restrictive social conventions they faced.

 

Phil Vasili, author of the biography Walter Tull, 1888-1918: Officer, Footballer, has worked with David Thacker to develop the play following years of research into the life of Walter Tull. With a campaign to decorate Tull posthumously for his war efforts reaching parliament and the recent outbursts of racism on and off the pitch, Walter Tull’s story has never been more important.

Had a brain bubblesqueak last week and nearly booked 2 tickets to take Mrs Dee to Forest followed by an overnight in a hotel in Nottingham with a 4 course dinner and dance!

 

Then I came to my senses and booked 1 ticket for Forest for myself.
