Reply | Bucket List / Fck It List
at 17:33 4 Dec 2025
Did yoga once – fell asleep doing the breathing at the start. The instructor (who I knew) let me sleep through the session, and I snored through it.
Bucket - all the F1 Grand Prix in a year.
Fck it - anything submarine-related. There's enough to look at above the waterline, let alone putting yourself in danger in the depths. |

I think they're considering the cricket ground, and that would take some big work to change its use. There are other green spaces in the north of the borough, but the further north you move away from Brisbane Road, the more Conservative it becomes, and they wouldn't have a football club in Chingford. Other green spaces include Douglas Eyre in Walthamstow and the area where Walthamstow FC plays. If Orient promised Walthamstow FC could play, they might have a chance, but that's backing onto the North Circular and limited public transport.
The only other brownfield space consists of warehousing and light industrial areas near Lea Bridge Road; some of these facilities are quite new, but they have short leases, and I could see them being relocated. |

The difference at Spurs was they had space to build around the stadium – LO can't expand Brisbane Road because of Oliver Road on one side and housing on the other three sides. Indeed, just across from the ground was a sports centre which has been removed for more housing.
The only greenfield site in Leyton is Leyton Cricket Ground, which has a listed pavilion and is restricted to public recreation. 51.56767944707993, -0.010508044060889085
There isn't much brownfield capacity except for the space off Church Road at the Lea Bridge Road end but believe that area was designated for housing. 51.566157912871134, -0.023784977905952125
There is some space in Walthamstow near Blackhorse Road which was acquired by the mayor a few years ago and might be open to development, but it's a small footprint and not in Leyton. 51.59052558644276, -0.03925975668763898 |

Let's look into this – it's simply an MoU between the club and the Council. It just says they'll help each other and work together if they find a site. They've agreed to things like a zero-carbon approach, etc., but these are just principles – they've not agreed to any funding, support, or anything apart from 'we'll help where we can'.
The biggest problem is there isn't local land to develop. There's a site of an Asda whose lease expires in a couple of years, but they'll need to rebuild Leyton station and a ton of other infrastructure to make it work. |

Best thing from yesterday was the Park and Ride - first time using it and it worked really well. |

At Brintree Town yesterday, George Thomas was subbed for Morecambe and Elijah Dixon-Bonner came on.
Just a reminder of where our hopes were and where they are now. |

The new Running Man is very good - Edgar Wright is a great director. |

Remember they've got a new manager, working out the clusterfudge they've been through in the last 6-7 months. Badly beaten by Birmingham in his first game - 4 days after he was appointed - he got a draw against Oxford next and that was almost a win.
He seems to have started making a difference and it was always likely they'd win - we were unlucky in terms of timing to get shafted with the shítty stick today. |

There were ZERO offsides in today's game.
Is that a record of some sort? I can't ever remember a game with no offsides given. |

It meant remaining upright for weeks while the fluid came back - including sleeping. It had to be done under a local anaesthetic (morphine is moreish) and ached like fúck afterwards. Most disconcertingly was the fluid coming back and my vision being like a spirit level for weeks with a bubble - gave me seasickness. Would not recommend. |

4 episodes in and it's brilliant.
The contrast between the us and AI of today - wanting to please - is really interesting. |
