It wasn't that one. It's a completely different book. I'll send you a PM. I've also sadly picked up a death of someone who played in the Southampton League which I'll post to you.

For the rest of the forum and guests. Here is the answer to the book teaser :
Understanding the Sacrifice

An excellent book by an excellent author.

You are a very naughty boy, John.
There is another book from 2002 by Angus Dunnington that you have missed, which I have.
Any guesses?

It has been confirmed that BBC Three will return in early February 2022 and with a good chance it will possibly appear on Freeview Channel 24.
It was posted in the News section on 25th November on the Cordbusters website.

RT (Russia Today) has been removed from all UK platforms.
It was on Freeview Channel 234. It currently says "This service is currently not available".

This has been posted on the BBC red button text service:
"Russian state-backed news channel RT has had its licence to broadcast in the UK revoked "with immediate effect " by media regulator Ofcom. "
"The watchdog said RT's parent body ANO TV Novosti was not "fit and proper to hold a UK broadcast licence.""
"RT's coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been under investigation by Ofcom, and the channel had already disappeared from UK screens."
"RT, formerly named Russia Today, called Ofcom "a tool of the government.""

I did watch a bit of RT following the invasion of Ukraine. I have found their justifications unconvincing and cannot imagine what our Government is so frightened of us seeing.

Given that hardly anybody watched it anyway, its just possible that wasn't the main motivation.

Yes, they want to demonstrate that they can do censorship just as well as Putin. But why?

Two new channels have been added to the Freeview EPG (Electronic Prigrammes Guide) today:
TalkTV is coming to Freeview Channel 237, and That's Music is coming to Freeview Channel 92.
That's Music, a pop-up channel for the spring, which will be dedicated to classic music and TalkTV isn't expected to start broadcasting until 25th April, so its channel will only serve as a place marker until then.
