    What’s it all about?

    Everyone has a right to live how they want, of course, but if only 0.5% of the population are trans, there is an AWFUL lot of time, bandwidth and column-inches (oo-err missus) devoted to people talking about the subject.

    That can work, but in most cases it is the responsibility of the landowner. Round here, Highways will write to the landowner and tell them to cut it back. If they get no response, they do the work and send the bill to the person responsible.

    Japan looked excellent - they run like the wind and their finishing is amazing! P3 W3 F11 A0

    Agreed! It's shite. And when you go in there, the shelves have been stripped bare. I literally have no choice in senior cat dry food. And they are more expensive than all the supermarkets ... and even my village shop for Felix sachets!. I've given up with them

    Death List 2023

    Very briefly. Seemed to make a habit of flouncing off after arguing with band-mates (as he did from Eagles in 1977)

    Women's World Cup 2023

    I hope that China beat Haiti later today so that England will have to at least draw the last match against them, or Wiegman will rest loads of the first choice team and it will be even more unbearable than today!

    Women's World Cup 2023

    It's all very screechy, isn't it? I don't wish to be unkind but Vicki Sparks (I think on 5Live today) has a voice that sets my teeth on edge!

    Just got my car insurance quote through - FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS higher than last year for same car, same address, no claims or speeding. Gonna get them to justify it!

    Women's World Cup 2023

    The NZ keeper made a right mess of that for Philippines to score. Practically threw it across her own line! And the Colombia second goal was a proper howler by the Korean keeper!

    Surprised Sky have gone for it, to be honest.

    Women's World Cup 2023

    It's the Netball World Cup in Cape Town starting on Friday, "across the BBC", in case you are interested! Another tournament being vaunted to the skies by the Beeb because they have "won" the broadcasting rights (presumably by a walkover because no-one else gives a shit). I wonder how much they...

    Women's World Cup 2023

    So much for the 5'4" Haiti keeper - that tip over was quite brilliant! Probably POTM, but they played really good stuff at times. Not the cake-walk England were expecting.

    Women's World Cup 2023

    Yeah, it's very much seen as a girls' sport from an early age, so by the time they get to adulthood, they aren't half bad, and people do pay to watch it. If anything, it's been the *men's* game that is fake and manufactured over there. Same as in Australia - comes a distant fifth in popularity...

    Women's World Cup 2023

    If anything, it will have fuelled the debate due to them embracing the tournament with the attendances. Admittedly, there's a bit of a dichotomy between matches involving the host nations (42000 (capacity) to watch NZ and 75000 (capacity) for Oz) versus "the rest" (only 22000 watched Spain, for...
