    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    How many people are exploiting it? How many genuine cases is it acceptable to be collateral damage in stopping that exploitation? How much money should we spend stopping that exploitation?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Surely you look at things like this, things which have been known issues for a while, which have data and evidence to back them up, things which can relatively easily be acted upon. Then you look at the lack of interest in doing anything, in fact in the case of pushing people back to the office...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    So let that play out rather than rushing this through. This seems more like a way to plug the gap in the finances they've created for themselves with self imposed fiscal rules. If they're making work more attractive then that will have an impact, if they're cutting waiting lists that will...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Can only speak for myself but the time I was off work furloughed during covid, and I'm sure most people wouldn't class a pandemic as a great year of their lives, on every available metric my health was far better than any time I can remember. Went back to work and all the old issues came...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'll bite. First off we need to get rid of this idea that British people don't want to work and there's huge numbers of people blagging it. The stats put our employment rate at 5th in the world. Realistically how many more people can be forced into the workforce? If you want to get people off...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We've become a country of small businesses, they aren't going to employ people who may need additional time off for medical reasons. My boss has a fit if I have a doctors appointment and come in a few minutes late! So you're left with big business who, for whatever reason, want to be seen to do...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's performative nonsense. Unless they're proposing a cull of pensioners it's pissing in the wind. Pensions absolutely dwarf every other DWP payment, and thats before you consider that the fact that the level of other benefits skyrockets in the over 60s. And all of that is before you add in...

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    Isn't the owner of Wasps involved in Worcester? Would anyone bet against them suddenly becoming Worcester Wasps?

    DK, frasers and the club

    Its going to be incredibly hard to attract stadium shows when there's a viable stadium venue in Birmingham. Why would anyone pick Cov given the difference in population size in the two cities. Even Brum struggles to get many shows as London - Manchester is increasingly the norm. To get shows...

    DK, frasers and the club

    There was a report included in the administration stuff that detailed all the manintenace and it was all costed. Came to tens of millions. Even essential stuff like fire alarms and CCTV weren't working properly. You can bet if it had been us and not Wasps running it down like the the SAG would...

    DK, frasers and the club

    its definitely not like that. walking up at the weekend noticed how shabby the roof looked with the outline of Ricoh still up there. Place needs a real good clean. The whole exterior is shabby. Landscaping and paths need a bit of work as well. Sure it must be lined up. Would be odd to spend...

    DIY-ing

    This is me with every DIY job, I'm an absolute disaster zone Always get everyone saying 'just do it yourself', 'its easy', 'watch youtube' etc but everything that can go wrong does go wrong The only thing I've learnt from DIY attempts over the years is its cheaper to get someone in to do it...

    Sakamoto

    Maybe this will teach people not to write off players returning from months out injured when they aren't back to their best the moment they set foot on the pitch.

    Groundsmen With Too Much Time On Their Hands

    Didn't the FA stop the Leicester groundsman doing stuff like this. Can't have anyone enjoying their job.

    Supporters forum - 13 March

    there's a steward on every entrance to the stand, or at least I think there is, but they seem to do nothing when people decide to stand there and hold everyone else up

    When are they going to sort out the WiFi?

    No wifi and no phone reception. can't be that hard to sort. Other venues manage it. Is it not an issue when they have business events on?

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sunderland Match Thread - Saturday 15th Mar

    Were all the turnstiles closed today or just the bit where I go in? Instead of the turnstiles they were letting everyone in the disabled entrance and had one old chap with a hand held machine scanning tickets.

    Coventry violent crime

    That looks like the same place where there was a house siege last January. Wonder if it's the same people involved. Surely it's got to be something like that or gang / drug related. Or are random people getting stabbed at 2pm in Earlsdon?

    Best performance of the season

    Fantastic performance today, getting to that level week in week out has to be the target Bloke behind me still moaned non-stop for the whole game. Every time Wright scored rather than celebrate he was going on a rant about Simms :ROFLMAO:
