    Women's World Cup 2023

    I'm afraid to say i'm with you on that, which is why i'll restrict my viewing pleasure to England as they are one of the best teams. The suggestion that they should have pay equality with the men's game is pure nonsense, in my view. When the revenue streams are the same, then fine. But they...

    Women's World Cup 2023

    The time difference ain't gonna help the viewing figures is it? I hear they are embracing it in ANZ in terms of ticket sales, though.

    Women's World Cup 2023

    Noticed there is no thread on this event, which starts tomorrow. I'm a bit surprised given how supportive some of you are about it, so i thought i'd put it here to prompt discussion. The lack of (even jingoistic) interest in the media is quite shocking given England's performance at the Euros...

    Things that annoy you

    It does seem to vary, but when i am loading my tray i always ask the security bod. Belt off? Shoes off? Kindle out of bag? Even if i am devoid of everything i almost always get a pat-down!!

    Things that annoy you

    The actual flights i have taken with Ryanair have been absolutely no problem - they are safe and the cabin staff highly professional. The seat legroom is a bit of a problem for me as i have long legs, rivalled only by American Airlines, but i'm not sitting on Ryanair for 9 hours at a time! The...

    Fuel prices

    Same as the utility companies. Everyone was welcoming the impending demise of Thames Water last week, but the parent company is mostly owned by pension funds (20% by the Universities Superannuation Scheme, the largest pension fund in the UK), so many will suffer in the long run if it is simply...

    Fuel prices

    I remember a time not so long ago when the supermarkets were being criticised by the CMA for selling fuel at next-to-no margin whatsoever, and forcing independents out of business. They really can't win, can they?

    I would use umpteen every time, but not sure how big it is compared to eleventy (which i don't think i have ever used) EDIT: Sorry that might be a more direct/strait-laced response than you were hoping for!

    You Know You're Getting Old When........

    If he was to identify as a woman (82.34 years average), does that give him an extra year?? :ROFLMAO:

    Footballers discuss real world events

    I see that gobby twat Gary Neville is appearing as a guest "dragon" in the next series of Dragon's Den. Must make doubly sure not to tune in to that one!

    Glastonbury 2023

    Have you seen the thread "You know you're getting old when ..."?? But i am absolutely with you. I also can't fathom how the Beeb can just spending the licence fee on promoting a commercial enterprise and sending a reported THOUSAND of its staff to cover it!!

    Things that annoy you

    Yes, but .... The widely-held view among people who know about these things, and who do not have an allegiance to the government or the BoE, is that the current global inflation figures (ours being the worst in the G20) are NOT demand-driven (which could be controlled by restricting people's...

    Nottingham Serious Incident

    Don't forget, though, that the UK definition of terrorism "simply" includes the act being motivated by the advancement of a political, religious, racial or ideological cause, not that it is carried out by a group or with any particular target or number in mind.

    Things that annoy you

    I think that is the problem. It is all out of order. But why do some tweets from, for example, CCFC or my sister, turn up in "For you" but some in "Following"? I wish they had just left it alone - did they ASK any Twitter users whether this change was wanted? I doubt it!

    Nottingham Serious Incident

    Maybe he was shit terrorist as well as a shit human being?? Maybe his watch was set to Mecca time??? But i think it will always be the case that CTU will get involved with any multiple murder, especially using terrorist tactics like vehicles.
