This is probably why we’re fucked. We will ignore evidence because the vibes feel wrong. Look at the reaction to mention of things like working from home, 4 day week, UBI. I’ve worked for a fair number of SMEs and they’re largely run by people who don’t really know what they’re doing and are...

Sure I’ve read about clubs who have binned off their academies. What do they do to meet the rules?

That’s the issue isn’t it. Money is near impossible to turn down but is anyone actually looking out for what is best for the players career. obviously the flip side for us is we’re not L1/L2 anymore so even players staying are going to struggle to breakthrough and get the minutes they need.

Maybe the players just aren’t seen as good enough to attract attention from the type of clubs that would make it a ‘good’ loan Perhaps clubs need to take a look at the under 23 setup. Not sure that’s been a big improvement on the old days of the reserve league.

This is the problem. They will often what is peanuts to them while being an amount we can’t possibly match. What are the stats on players ‘making it’ after these kind of moves compared to the players who stay put. Probably difficult to tell as you’d need to factor in players ability somehow and...

Something needs to change. People need some hope. We’ve got teenagers now who have known nothing but austerity. Spent their entire lives being told there’s no money and we need to accept some ‘pain’, all while the rich get richer as money flows to the top at an unprecedented rate...

Not striking me as a country where they’re working themselves until they drop tbh, if anything it seems the opposite. If you wander past office blocks around 5pm they’ve already emptied out and locked up. I’m often in the office until 7 or 8pm and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Maybe the...

Under our brilliantly thought out franchise system the taxpayer is on the hook for compensation to the TOCs when there’s a strike. At least when it comes to rail most of the stuff around ‘they won’t agree to modernisation’ or ‘they won’t work Sundays’ is absolute rubbish. There was agreement...

Been in Copenhagen the last few days and now in Aalborg and it’s exactly the same. Offices empty out and people stay out. There’s bars, cafes, restaurants everywhere. People by the waterfront or any piece of open land. It’s such a different vibe. Not sure it would work back home. Take a wander...

I’ve worked at numerous private companies and not once have they tried to link productivity or any other objectives to inflationary pay rises. I did work at one place where they decided to more closely monitor how much work people were doing as a means to push them to do more. Within 6 months...

This is exactly the problem. The Ticketmaster e-ticketing system uses the Ticketmaster app which generates a constantly changing QR codes. Those codes are then scanned by readers using Ticketmaster’s backend system. The tickets we use are static barcodes which can be used in the turnstile...

Think people need to remember that we don’t own the stadium. Altering the ticket infrastructure isn’t going to be a quick or cheap job and we would need to either pay for it ourselves or convince Frasers to do it. There’s lots of things that would be nice to have but I suspect King will be...

Must have shrunk in the wash mate, its happened to a lot of my old band shirts

So to sum up Bassette good, game shit, everyone who couldn’t be arsed to go moaning there’s no atmosphere

Someone needs to invent a device that lets you pause live, non internet streamed, radio so you can get cwr in sync with sky

They do this for hype. They’ll put a ridiculously small number of tickets on sale so they sell out instantly to whip people into a frenzy before the main onsale

Is that the pay on the gate queue? Tbf they’ve been saying for the last couple of weeks not to leave it until tonight

I’m in Copenhagen at the moment and had pretty much this conversation with some locals last night (yes alcohol was involved!) talking about how quality of life seems so much better here than at home. One of the locals said we’re obsessed with never ending growth, the stock market etc, they just...

Shaun of the Dead is back in cinemas soon for the anniversary although surely she’s at least seen that one

Wish all I’d needed to do to pay for mine was play a few gigs. Seems a better option than years of paying off debt
