    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Stick on Apple TV is an easy watch. Only 3 episodes in but liking it. Think it’s one of those shows that could do badly wrong with a different cast but there’s some top names in this. Particularly enjoying the Owen Wilson & Marc Merron double act.

    cricket 2025

    Great day for the Bears. Women's win puts them top and the mens side with a big win against Yorkshire even if they did make hard work of it trying to smash every ball out the ground when they only needed just over a run a ball. Was talking earlier in the thread about ticket prices and it's...

    Would you really be surprised if it all got built and then they announced it won't run on match days

    Tragic. A lot of questions being asked about if there should have been a parade and if so the route it took https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdr5mrrj1ego

    season ticket sales

    phone the card company again they need to give you more info. if they can't see any sign of an attempt to make payment its a ticketmaster problem and frankly you've got fuck all chance of them sorting a problem like that, you'd be better off speaking to the ticket office who might be able to...

    Could be interesting if Polanski wins their leadership contest. In the past you'd have said having a non-MP leader could be an issue but it never hurt Farage. There's a large chunk of people on the left who feel politically homeless, if someone could galvanise them the way Farage can the right...

    Except he wasn't. He never went away. Literally the morning after the Brexit result he was on TV moaning about it and setting up his next 'the wrong brexit' grift. The fact is you could put a dome over the UK and not let a single person in and, as it wouldn't solve all the countries problems...

    The VLR

    What are the odds we end up owning a system nobody else is interested in so the maintenance costs end up sky high because everything has to be bespoke?

    The VLR

    Guess you can use the why not a bus for any tram system. If we ever get the full thing assume they will be dedicated tram lanes. The argument is they will have much greater frequency than you will get with a bus. Its designed to be a 'turn up and go' service where you don't need to check a time...

    The VLR

    The theory is that in cities the size of Coventry there isn't the room for full sized trams and this is an alternative. The other big selling point is that because of the weight you can basically install the tracks into existing roads without having to re-route utilities thus saving a huge...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not sure there's an easy answer there. Even if we magically found a 'perfect' system so much politically messaging these days is basically vibes there's every chance a Farage like character would spin it as a disaster for their own self interest

    Watched a documentary on this recently. Part of the plan involves moving immigrants from 'ghettos', poor area's with a large percentage of immigrants, to more wealthy area's with low levels of immigrants. This is all funded by the goverenment. I can imagine there would be absolute uproar if...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    That will be why he's banned people from Egypt, oh hang on a minute, he hasn't 🤦‍♂️

    It also makes it very time consuming. For a Blast game I used to be able to finish work, drive to the ground and not miss the start. Stay till the end and get home early enough that I wasn't half asleep at work the next day. Now I need to take an afternoon off work to get there without missing...
