    Match Thread Swansea City - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 19th Aug

    Fair result, imho. Could've used a bit of needle and a few tasty tackles to liven it up a bit, perhaps, but I don't think we've got that sort of player in the squad at the moment. No concerns for me - we still look a tidy, well-organised, team and I think there's plenty more to come from this...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It might be financially expensive, but at the moment the West is grinding down Russia's military without losing a single soldier. From a purely cynical point of view, that's no bad thing, imho - Russia's influence globally has to be significantly impacted by this. I'm not sure if F-16s will...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Middlesbrough Match Thread - Saturday 12th Aug

    Stuck in the sticks. Second half is on the Talksport app at least... BBC text commentary suggests we're on top, and they seem to like Milan White Van Man, fwiw. I obviously can't see the game, so I'll be calling CWR later (regardless of the result) to express my displeasure at our performance...

    Hamer

    I see your point, but I'd say his job is to do his best on the pitch for us - he's not obliged to make it easy for us to sell him in a particular period. I think it's quite possible that both his agent and the club have been touting him about, just perhaps not to the same clubs! Regardless...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm not sure that there's much you can do, mate, other than trying to do the decent thing at an individual level and highlight to others the huge injustices and cruelty where you see them. It doesn't feel like voting will change much - Starmer has no convictions and alternative parties won't...

    Hamer

    Politely differ. He's got a contract and he's keeping up his end of it. He's not a piece of meat, and he's got every right to decide what he does next. He's entitled to look after the best interests of himself and his family. If he ends up seeing his contract out and we lose on the transfer...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Leicester City vs Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 6th Aug

    Well, we lost, but that was a pretty solid performance, imho. Simms grew into it a bit, I thought, and Wright looked a proper handful when he got on too. He's proper quick! And Thomas was exceptional, that was some debut. Lots to be happy with, I'd say, despite the defeat...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Leicester City vs Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 6th Aug

    To me, it looks a bit like Simms is running the wrong channel a lot of the time. Coming in from the left isn't going to work if he's not happy having a swing at it with his left peg.. their defence has got him sussed at the moment. Too early to worry too much, imho, and to getting to half-time...

    Their three hundred fans will be delighted. (I still like them more than Wasps, that said). 😁

    What’s it all about?

    It's not making shit up, and it's fuck all to do with being nice. It's about treating people who are different with some respect, figuring out the best way to do that, and not being so absolutely convinced you know it all. It seems you're getting yourself all wound up because you can't bear to...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    And in a nutshell, imho, there's the problem. The BOE have only one lever to control inflation - interest rates. Raising them will take money out of people's pockets, but there's very little to suggest that this bout of inflation is a result of paying (most) people too much. In fact real...

    What’s it all about?

    There's no way I'm walking a mile in high heels, but other than that I absolutely take your point. Which is concerning. I'm off to pray to at my altar of Corbyn (blessed be his name) in the hope that he can guide me back onto the one true path. 😁

    While all men are potential rapists, I suspect you'd be offended if you were treated like one or referred to as one, no? I'm no expert, but I think the vast majority of people who have or whom are transitioning from men to women, do not consider themselves to be men. Most of them, I believe...

    What’s it all about?

    I'm sorry, are you on the "trans people are predators/rapists" line here? And then using that to argue against people transitioning? That is an odd take, imho, and seriously offensive to a minority who are themselves particularly vulnerable.

    What’s it all about?

    Thank you for your enquiry, I'm afraid I'm out of the office now until a week after the project that you're asking about has gone down in flames. There's probably someone else who can help, but I'm in way too much of a hurry to knock off to tell you who. I'll respond to your email on my...

    Hamer

    I'd love him to stay. Even if it's just for one more season and then he leaves on a free. I know that doesn't make great commercial sense in some ways, but if he got us to the play offs again, it would feel well worth it, imho. And regardless, he's just so good to watch when he's on it...

    Dog Ownership

    Just to offer a slightly different opinion, we use Frontline too, but on a monthly basis all year round. It's a 'spot-on' treatment that you drip onto the back of their neck and the chemicals migrate across their skin, in theory killing fleas and ticks on contact. Ticks are horrible things...

    He/she seems very content in his/her self, but I wish he/she would wear slightly longer skirts, if you catch my drift. 😄 (This is me getting it wrong again, isn't it!?)

    Hey, I said I didn't always get it right! As the most politically correct poster hereabouts, mate, I'm look forward to receiving your correction. (Oo-err missus). 😁

    What’s it all about?

    I apologise - I've no urge to get into a huge, personalised row on it, though I think our kid knew that it wasn't really going to go down well! (Fnaar-fnarr etc..) Anyhow, from my limited experience of working alongside someone who transitioned from male to female, I've seen how much happier...
