    Blues Game

    I'm hoping this will be a bit of fun. Blues fans always seem like decent sorts to me, more than capable of having a laugh and a joke at their team's expense. That's something that most of us have learnt to do too. I can't work out whether we should sing "You're supposed to be at home", or...

    Working to Become Financially Independent

    As long as my taxes aren't funding it, I couldn't give a monkey's about what him and his missus do. If it makes more in tourism than it costs the public purse, then I've no great issue with having a King or Queen, in every other sense though it's completely redundant imho and there are bigger...

    Wasps Again

    Just out of interest, how? Did they acknowledge your contact? Did you get your pound back?

    Wasps Again

    Here's a question then, how many people do they claim to represent? It seems that you're the one getting angry and abusive here mate, at people expressing frustration with the trust. Your only answer seems to be 'suck it up' and you're getting a bit shirty with those who'd rather not. It's...

    Wasps Again

    Why are you apologising for them?Does criticism of the Trust's approach upset you for some reason? Is it too hard for you to grasp that there are other ways to find out the opinion of the members. It's very odd, this attitude that you're not allowed to complain about the Trust if you can't get...

    Wasps Again

    Democracy is won by establishing a process that can be seen to be fair, open and available. The Trust has any number of potential mechanisms to find out the opinions of its members online. Presumably they've still got our emails from when we signed up, but I can't remember the last time any...

    Wasps Again

    For me at least, the bigger issue is the non-apology. All that really needed to be said was that although no damage was done it's accepted that it was rather thoughtless and won't be repeated. Instead Wasps, not for the first time, have been made to look arrogant and inconsiderate (which is a...

    Match Thread Match thread - F a cup 3rd round - Bristol Rovers

    I was grumpy all afternoon that I couldn't listen to the match too. I got back in the house just in time to pick up the last thirty minutes, luckily enough. D'oh!

    Iran & USA

    Quick question here, who exactly is picking on us/walking over us? There's no existential threat to the UK so that argument doesnt really stand up. As a member of NATO, every other member is duty-bound to assist should there ever be such a threat. Other members of NATO do not feel...

    Iran & USA

    I can't quite get to how little the rule of law now means. This kind of action doesn't make anyone safer because now any state or organisation with the means to do so can now seemingly kill any person anywhere, on the basis that they may or might be offering a threat. In essence, on the world...

    More Wasps BS?

    They play a few premier league fixtures at Twickenham over the season. Seems a bit random, but the clubs involved and the fans seem to like it and it definitely makes a bit of money. Handy for the true Wasps fans of course, less so for the franchise ones...

    Judge Says Belief in Biological Sex Not Protected

    If you've already got the main-stream billionaire-owned media drip feeding a right-wing perspective whilst simultaneously smearing any and all left of centre politicians at every opportunity, and a Prime Minister talking about picaninnies and water-melon smiles, then it's not quite as far to the...

    Judge Says Belief in Biological Sex Not Protected

    Maybe if a huge proportion of the main-stream media wasn't owned by a few very rich people, then they'd get a better chance to put their case.

    Judge Says Belief in Biological Sex Not Protected

    That's a bit of a nothing argument on all counts: There aren't hundreds of pronouns to remember. In fact I'm assuming that in this case there's probably one or two - him/her, he/she, his/hers. No one is being fired for making a simple mistake - it would appear they are behaving in a...

    Judge Says Belief in Biological Sex Not Protected

    In my head I've got something about epigenetics. I wonder if one day they'll be able to change people's sex by manipulating genes - at that point is it a true biological change though?

    Judge Says Belief in Biological Sex Not Protected

    I've only really scanned the judgement, but luckily all of these years following City have turned me into a stellar legal expert (and an exemplary forensic accountant). :) I think what I'm seeing here is the judge saying that the belief that it's impossible to biologically change sex does...

    For them who criticize......

    No ref, no game... in my playing days I always thought the inadequates were the ones who thought they had to whine and rage about every decision to be considered 'competitive'. It's no wonder people don't want to do it...
