    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Americans talking about the implication of the date chosen. If we consciously tried to ensure we did not conflict with a country celebrating independence from the UK, we'd have very few dates to choose from. Same as Coventry City, it's tough being fucking huge

    I didn't really listen to Sunak much, I was too fixated with how wet and shiny his shoulders were becoming

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    In fairness, wages has a direct government mechanism it can use to influence, the legal minimum wage, but inflation is usually market-driven. I guess this is the problem of laissez-faire economics

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I am absolutely no Tory, but surely they should realise it is now or never? Simply feed the line that they "got Brexit done", "combated inflation" and "got the economy growing again" repeat ad nauseam

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Based on what I have read, it's looking like a General Election will almost certainly be announced today, most likely at 5pm. Date doing the rounds is the 04/07

    Yeah, because Ireland isn't very well known for its neutrality or anything...

    Is it 1 April today ?

    But if Vincent Kompany leaves Vincent Kompany's Burnley, who would take over from Vincent Kompany at Vincent Kompany's Burnely? Jeez, I'm off to support London Wasps if we become "somebody's Coventry City"!

    Flying

    Hence the emergency dinghies and rafts on airplanes certified for long-haul overwater travel. Dual-engine failures are very rare, as far as I am aware, and airplanes can fly with one engine. Fortunately, a dual-engine failure usually occurs at a high altitude which gives pilots a quite long...

    Flying

    How about thinking about the vastness of space instead. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, yet takes over four years to reach even the closest star to Earth except the sun... did that help?

    Flying

    Fear of heights, small spaces, an inner ear dysfunction and good old British Xenophobia has put me off flying, to be honest.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Jeez, to think, we were once beset by both Wasps and SISU. I wouldn't wish my own worst enemy on one of them, let alone both, yet we were subjected to both of those (insert proverbial here) and for many years!

    Sheffield Wednesday Fan Banned

    I don't get why people think the consumption of alcohol excuses such idiotic, to put it mildly, behaviour. I know one of the side-effects is the reduction of inhibition, but deep down, your actions are still something you really wanted to do. Not sure on the punishment, but I hope the five...

    Things that annoy you

    Yeah, it's difficult from a consumer perspective as that probably did seem like overkill, and it may well have been, especially depending upon the proportion of your step-dad's gift contributed towards the deposit (of course you're right not to disclose such a thing on a public forum). However...

    24/25 - Lineup For Opening Game

    I personally would like to see Foden and Bellingham in the centre, with Rice holding. Doubt there will be many, if any, midfields better than that in the competition

    Things that annoy you

    Usually mortgage providers will not accept the source of funds for the deposit from loans or credit cards, as ultimately the mortgage holder would be lending to lend, whereas the reason for the deposit is to paydown the value of the house to reduce the amount payable over the term you decide to...

    Also, can we sort out the numbers please? There is something truly unsettling about the current configuration!
