    Matchday Rewind Aston Villa 1 - 0 Coventry City | Sat, 25 Aug, 1984

    Is incredible how often it seems to pick defeats though! I half expect it to pick "On This Day" and choose when we went into admin! Is it really needed? Isn't there enough traffic without some automated bot trying to get people to reply?

    You end up spending that and more later on anyway just to paper over the cracks because you let things get into such a state not funding it in the first place, as you pointed out re: the NHS. So what do you think the cost will be to get it up to scratch in another 10-20 years time when we...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'd love it if we started paying people properly. But we won't because businesses will always look for the cheapest labour to increase shareholder return. Doesn't matter where those people come from, or the costs to society that will ultimately end up costing them as well, because they aren't...

    Well it's not, because it's about purchasing power. If you get more money but can buy less than you used to with it then it's effectively a cut. I assume therefore that during the period of inflation over 10% if you'd been offered a 1-2% pay rise you'd have been happy, because you'd have still...

    Did Howley play? Pretty sure he wasn't on the team sheet - first XI or subs.

    Of course it affects their ability to provide services as there's more people to provide services for. Therefore you need to expand those services in order to do so. How do you do that? Money.

    So just proves that as a country we're historically undertaxed.

    Just because there could be improvements made in the efficiency of delivery of public services doesn't mean they aren't also chronically underfunded. They are. Just as many on the right think we're overtaxed, I would say that given the examples of other countries in comparison to QoL we are...

    No, but it presents a risk to fans leaving the stadium so has to be considered.

    Death List 2025

    So why bother taking any kind of medicine or having any kind of test/treatment? It'll only extend your life, which will end at some point in the future anyway, so what's the point? As you say, you can approach your health as you see fit, but I just hope this doesn't come back to bite you...

    Lots of people park close by, or get picked up, so you'd still have traffic. Plus there would be the normal A444 traffic with nothing to do with the football.

    Death List 2025

    That's the entire point of the test. People think they're healthy because they don't tend to start getting ill until it's really serious. It may not be perfect, but it saves lives.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    There were also airstrikes in Yemen two days ago, with scores dead. But hey, President of Peace.

    Do you play Darts?

    I have a board but not used it in years. I was rubbish anyway. It's just so noisy when it's mounted on the wall and I don't want to piss the neighbours off. My mum once played Steve Beaton in the Cov Pub League.

    Good example of printing money is the Weimar Republic, which post WWI decided tp meet the cost of reparations by just printing shitloads of money. This of course kept on massively devaluing it causing massive hyper inflation. I am still annoyed though that we are told that printing money is not...
