    Rugby World Cup 2023

    So funnily enough, just before the last world cup I was at this corporate thing relating to data modelling. (I know, I can feel the jealousy from here, the sheer excitement of my jet-set lifestyle, eh.) Anyway... The software guys had crunched all of the numbers using all of the latest...

    Expect another delay

    About the same time that HS2 is complete... Sorry, not helpful, but this all sounds like an epic farce.

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    No one that I know, inside or outside the game, ever accused the RFU of being smart. 😁 Like the EFL or the FA, or the greedy/bent fuckers that run *some* of the clubs, the people at the top of the game are remarkably useless/corrupt at times. It's not unique to either sport. But it's...

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    Last night's game was boring... ...in your opinion. Do you understand the difference between opinion and fact, or is that a bit hard for you to grasp? Some people enjoy the sport, some people don't. Most people who enjoy the game probably enjoyed last night's fixture. I thought it was...

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    It's really not, and I thought we'd done all of this to death on another thread. Lots of rugby fans (and as one myself I know a fair few of them), also enjoy football. A lot of Cov RFC fans also follow CCFC. At the same time, like a lot of other football fans (also including me) they also get...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I think it's a bit early to say whether the game has changed or not. In essence Ukraine is trying to force its way through the most heavily mined territory on the planet, without air-parity (let alone air superiority), and the enemy know they're coming. That they're making any progress at all...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Just a quick point; Trump was facing legal action long before the war in Ukraine started, over a number of different things, not the least of which related to him trying to overturn the results of a fairly run, democratic election. If you genuinely believe the election was 'stolen', then I'm...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    There's obviously nowt funny about any of this. He's just trying to get a rise out of you mate, with some people I'm afraid you're wasting your time look for sensible debate.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    On the first point, what's the "right" way to avoid losing a tank? Leave it in the garage perhaps? Secondly, the Leopard thing clearly isn't what's being reported. Do you have other evidence? https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/09/05/ukraine-has-lost-its-first-challenger-2-tank/

    Mike Ashley buying another stadium?

    Apparently, once you get all of the stadiums you can start building hotels. Then if anyone lands on them they're screwed. 😁

    Is This A Scam?

    Out of interest, can you remember the name of the company he was claiming to represent? It sounds very fishy to me too mate, good work in sending him packing. No way they need your phone to check their broadband connectivity!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Unless Starmer starts saying what he is going to do, rather than what he isn't, he's not going to pull in many new votes. I think he's just relying on traditional red-wall voters returning to the fold because he's not Corbyn, and Tory voters not bothering to turn out because they can see how...

    Wobbly back 3

    I'd say you've got to hold or give, but do it at the right time. You can be slow or fast, but you must get to the line. 😁

    Rob Gurney

    It took me a while to get used to Clive, but I think he does a good job. Who cares about the odd slip up. Good partnership with Oggy too, whom I always enjoy listening too. Gurney was terrific in the old days, and it'd be great to have him back, imho - clearly we're strengthening the squad...

    Red light cameras

    "Accidentally", eh... Reminds me of my favourite traffic copper's line... "Just building up speed for take-off were we, Squadron Leader?"

    Red light cameras

    First it's dodgy MOTs, and now it's running red lights. This isn't GTA V you know.😄 I suspect they're on, though I've never seen them flash in all honesty. I might get a 1 COV number plate off ebay (the Lord Mayor's car from memory) and run it a dozen times to get Maton nicked. 😄
