Great game of rugby but patently not a sell out, which is surprising given it's the biggest game that Wasps have ever played at the Ricoh in terms of importance. It'll be nice for them to play in London for a change next week though. However, I doubt they'll be taking 43,000 from Cov down there...

I'm not entirely sure what the FA's fit & proper owner's test is, but I have a suspicion that it looks a bit like this (except easier)...

One Juan Sara. There's only one Juan Sara... Actually, I don't remember him being that bad, but then I don't remember what I had for breakfast these days. :)

Probably my favourite Dylan track, is Isis. That probably gets me on a list somewhere these days, lucky I'm not going to the States anytime soon! I really like most of his stuff, but I went to his concert at the NEC a few years back and it was bloody awful. I don't think he wanted to be there...

Fair play SBT, I must confess that I'd never really thought of it that way - definitely a different perspective on it.

SATS week. They're all at home revising. :)

Open and waiting! :)

Beat me to it... I was thinking of something like this... :)

Bond price currently is about 105, which I think is 5% above where they started out. There's been fluctuation up and down but from what I can see this isn't a share typically bought to trade in any case - some will be sitting on it for the 5% return, some (as you point out) will simply be...

It's crap isn't it. On the upside, if you can get yourself a 25-mile long one of these, you're welcome to plug into my router (oo-err missus!) ;)

Houdi, some fair points from you too. There are undoubtedly many things that Wasps do very well, not least the matchday experience which I hear is excellent and well managed. They've actually figured out that when people go to games they'll want to be welcomed and probably want to spend money...

A few observations of my own, if I may. I've developed a morbid fascination with Wasps too, undoubtedly. ;) The Ricoh wasn't actually full on Saturday, just over 30,000 as I recall. Not bad at all, but not full. When you bear in mind what was riding on the game, finishing top of the top...

I don't see that at all. It's just as likely that a vote for the communist candidate could be read as meaning you want a communist to be mayor, rather than not having a mayor at all. A 24% turn out should tell the story here - that's how many people were bothered about having a mayor from any...

NW - where was that option on the ballot paper? On the official documentation there was no mention of it, there's a sample ballot in here... https://www.wmcaelects.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Combined-Authority-Mayoral-Election-booklet-WEB.pdf

Just to clarify shmmeee, are you saying that there was actually an option on the ballot paper that said "I don't want an elected mayor"? If there was, I'd have turned up and voted for that option. Again. However I'm not going to vote Communist because that would misrepresent my beliefs in...

Is that "Zenmate", or "Zen mate", mate?

Shmmeee mate, ninety-nine times out of a hundred I'd completely agree with you. But we've already voted on this as a City, and the decision was that we didn't want an elected mayor. I've genuinely been torn on this, but I've come to the conclusion that the best way I can express my unhappiness...
