Recommendations for local businesses to restore a vintage leather jacket

I bought a black leather moto jacket by a brand called Eagle. It's obviously old, but in good nick. It mainly needs a couple of sewing repairs to the lining, and extensive cleaning to the lining and outers.

Does anyone have a recommendation of any local businesses or people that could carry this sort of work out, please?

Trying to re-find a podcast about time and time travel. Can anyone help, please?

A couple of years ago I listened to a short podcast series about time and time travel. Stupidly I unfollowed it in Pocket Casts, and now I can't find it again. I'm hoping against hope that someone else has listened and can direct me to it!

Here's all I can remember.

- It was a short series, about 6-8 episodes.

- Episodes were about 20-40 minutes long, I think.

- The topic was time and time travel.

- It was a sort of beginner's guide, but not patronising. Detailed enough to help you review films about time travel and know what you were talking about 😉

- Presented by woman, in English

- I'm sure I remember being surprised by something about it, like you wouldn't expect a podcast with that title covering time travel, or something like that.

That's about all I have to go on, sorry!

On the occasion of United selling Melvine Malard to Chelsea, I thought I'd look at some numbers regarding MUWFC squad strength

  • In the winter transfer window we signed Schuller, Wangerheim and Lundqvist; but Geyse, Williams, Blundell (on loan), Barry and Rabjohn all left. Bizet was missing on maternity leave.
  • So far this transfer window we've signed only Andrea Medina, a left back to compete with Anna Sandberg (probably our second best player last season) and Gabby George, who rarely starts now. We have more competition at left-back than centre-forward.
  • However, this summer we've also lost Hannah Blundell (permanently), Leah Galton, Millie Turner and fiancée Lisa Naalsund, plus Melvine Malard, who between them played 625 times for United.
  • Last season Man Utd Women played 41 games. They were only able to put out a full bench 17 times in 41 games.
  • On 15 of those 17 occasions, there were two goalkeepers on the bench.
  • Only twice in 41 games did they have 1 goalkeeper and a full complement of outfield players. 
  • In the league, Utd only had a full bench in 13 of the 22 games.
  • Against Everton in March, Utd had only two senior outfielders on the bench. 
  • In the Champions League, United never filled the bench, even with two goalkeepers. As far as I could tell, the best they managed was three empty seats on the bench.
  • Of the current squad of 26 players, 11 have made fewer than 10 starts for United Women.

In summary:

  • Our squad was already woefully too small
  • We've lost our two most experienced players
  • We've lost our best attacker from last season, in terms of goal involvements
  • Our only signing is a third left-back
  • We've also promoted three Academy players who were already in various squads last season

 

This is based on some quick calculations on my iPad so if I missed anything it's because I ran out of fingers!

Manager career mode. I'm managing England Women at the European Championships and every other team has male players.

My first game was against Finland and I don't know any of their players. But my second match was against France and immediately I noticed Barcola, Zaire-Emery and Mbappé.

I won 4-3 with both Jess Park and Mbappé scoring a hattrick. You can see both on the top scorers list in the screenshot.
