    Birmingham Airport Locked Down

    Who thought that any of that was a good idea? They need to be shown the door, for sure! Incidentally, we paid a fiver each for fast track, and just barged our way through the tensa barrier on the upper floor to get to the fast track lane.

    Birmingham Airport Locked Down

    "Everything grounded"? Nothing out of the ordinary for BHX!

    Dave Boddy

    There is a lot that happened around that time, but my money is on the strategic changes to the coaching set-up, from the departure of Dennis Lawrence and Adi Viveash to the introduction of the psychobabble Performance Director and four first team coaches who had very little in terms of a track...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not convinced by that. There are a lot of pensioners who are asset rich (including the family home, which might be in a high Council Tax band) but very money poor.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    What hasn't been publicised widely enough is that Reeves said in Parliament in 2014 (as recorded in Hansard) that a Labour government would scrap the WFP for those not on Pension Credit. The notion that it is a reaction to a £22bn black hole (which is why it wasn't in the manifesto, apparently)...

    Death List 2024

    Absolutely spot-on, wingy! I was in my teens when that was on, and it was so enlightening. Brilliant TV! My wife had a chef working for her who referred to a black kitchen porter - just once - as Chicken George. "Chef" didn't make it to the end of the shift! They always mention Darth Vader but...

    Is Anyone Else Feeling....

    I hate the international breaks. I couldn't give two shiny shits about the Nations League, or generally about any international match other than WC or Euros. They keep claiming to be elite "athletes" (grrrrrrrr), yet they can't run around for a couple of hours twice a week without feeling tired...

    The official NFL Thread

    Eagles off and running against the Pack - but in Sao Paulo??? Bit warmer than northern Wisconsin, i would guess! Jalen Hurts had something of a mixed bag. Couple of sacks and interceptions, but some outstanding rushes and passes, with Barkley scoring 3 TDs. The secondary looked to leave open...

    Things that annoy you

    I love that you made them type out verbatim what you (or the driver) shouted at them!! And i think you should "bear this in mind ...", not bare, bunch of illiterates!

    7 years ago today

    The only team we have beaten in the league is one which is odds-on with the bookies to go straight back down to L1. As for punching our weight in the upper echelons of the division, if i remember correctly, last season we only got something like 17 points from a possible 66 against the other...

    Cancelled flight compensation

    I thought it was the case that they had to get you home on the next available flight ... not necessarily THEIR next available flight! So they should book you on Norwegian Air, SAS, easyjet or whatever to get you home asap.

    Oasis Reunion

    I couldn't give a shit about seeing Oasis any more than i would Taylor Swift, but to say that resale can only be "at face value" when they treble their own face value while people are in the queue is pure hypocrisy by the Gallaghers.

    Thought that had been shelved indefinitely due to cost? They resurrected it again? Cov Uni need more space??
