    California fires

    Where does everyone go? BBC reporting 144,000 people are under evacuation orders but there's currently only 700 people using state supplied shelters.

    Transfer Rumour Kitching to Blackburn

    Local press are saying he signed after we u-turned on Kitching's availability. Seems odd, can't get on the pitch for weeks no matter how bad we're doing defensively and now we won't let him leave. Did we have a replacement lined up that has fallen through and we're not confident of getting...

    Sean dyche sacked.

    Looking at the replies to Everton's post confirming this on twitter a lot of West Ham fans seem totally oblivious to the fact he managed Everton for a very long time he ended up with them

    I can imagine a delayed showing in Kyrgyzstan is going to be a ratings blockbuster

    Cov city centre

    Isn't that the point. If you've got a shopping centre on the edge of town with free parking people will go there and not the city centre. Although a lot of our out of town shopping centres seem pretty shit as well compared to other cities.

    Most Hated Sports Star

    David Platt was always one for me, couldn't stand him. Not sure there's many now, maybe whoever was in charge of VAR at Wembley.

    Look forward to your post around 5:30pm tomorrow about it being absolute chaos and nobody being able to get in.

    Your favourite Sports Star

    Easy one for me, but probably unknown to most on here. Daniel Alfredsson, the greatest ice hockey player to ever play for the team I support, Ottawa Senators. 426 goals, 682 assists and 1,108 points in 1,178 games for Ottawa. Also won gold and sivler medals with Sweden and is in both the Hockey...

    The Holiday 2025 thread

    Not too exotic but off to London next weekend for my birthday. Going to see Inside No 9 and Stranger Things and probably add in a couple of museums. Then off to Sfântu Gheorghe, Romania at the end of April to support GB in the ice hockey world championships. Properly in the middle of nowhere so...

    Makes you wonder what the fuck was happening before, was everyone sat around twiddling their thumbs?

    Things that annoy you

    There's work in my road at the moment, well I say work nothing is actually happening. It seems one team come out and cone the road off, then a few days later someone comes out and digs a hole. I left for work late this morning as I had the dentist so was there to see some actual workmen turn up...

    Surely even Truss isn't dumb enough to want to go to court and have to make an argument they didn't crash the economy.

    Cov city centre

    Things aren't actually that far apart but the layout is shit, there's no flow. If you're at the Skydome or the Belgrade you're pretty much going there and then out of town again. You don't walk out of those places, look up and think I'll just have a wander and a look around.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The avatar is from Severance on AppleTV which, given the current topic, I would definitely recommend watching. I think one key difference is how technology has changed many jobs. When I started my job, depending on the size company I was working for, I would either spend my days physically...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Out of interest when was this? I've found working in IT this has completely changed in the last 15 or so years. Overtime / TOIL, benefits, bonuses, pay rises (unless you move job) all out of the window in that period in favour of pressuring you into being sat in front of a screen for as many...

    How do you solve a problem like Ben Sheaf

    That would def be my first question. Is he fully fit or playing with a knock.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I was at the extreme end of WFH in my old job. I was 100% WFH, increasingly less visits to client sites and my head office was 3 hour plus drive each way so I literally hadn't visited in years tbh if I hadn't been at that extreme I don't think I would have taken an office based job. I'm in the...
