This could also be a factor in the ACL discussion. The shorter studs may help in playing our way but enabling quicker passing and movement, but also causes more slipping extending the knee a bit more than is ideal. Do that repeatedly and eventually something is going to give.

Pretty much echoes my thoughts. I'm not a religionist at all and feel it's more power hungry and greedy people playing on others greatest fear with full knowledge they'll never have to provide a scrap of evidence that what they say is true. But while religion exists there needs to be an...

Haven't heard the term 'slapper' in a long time.

But we've had a GE since the referendum. Surely therefore any parliament would reflect the importance of Brexit if the people wished it so. There was nothing to stop them voting in the one-issue partyUKIP to make sure the job got done if they'd wanted. They didn't - in fact they pretty much...

I have done that too (100% compound interest every time you pass go, which is cheap by today's payday loans) but by that point thankfully most of the time most are ready to just thrown the towel in. It involves me having to write stuff down and keep a record of what they owe etc and it just...

I thought it was an interesting thought. Just because two people of a different ethnicity genuinely look alike doesn't make it racist to highlight that point. We've pointed out in the past how alike Westbrooke and Bayliss looked. If one of the posters on here who's black joins in does it become...

Biggest loss of shareholder value in companies by a long long way is poor executive decision making. Average workforce making those kind of errors would at best be given a warning as to future conduct, most more than likely sacked. Exec though get huge pay rises and massive bonuses.

So what if a Labour PM in future had done exactly what Alexander tried to do and used this episode as their justification? Or as tony put it, if a post GE govt used is as a means to limit time on parliament discussing/passing legislation to prevent Brexit being cancelled? I assume you'd be quite...

Good call, as long as your health is OK. Someone I know got offered a huge deal more than theirs was worth to take it out and chose not to, which in 90% of cases would be the best thing to do at the moment. Found out a month later they had cancer and died two months after that. Family ended up...

For once I agree. Don't think the state should be running things like holiday companies. But mainly because the state would provide the cash to get it up and running and it'd end up being privatised again and the govt would once again get advice setting the IPO way below value and the private...

It does seem a huge flaw in the entire system that people can set themselves up to benefit from something failing by taking positions like short-selling. It was one of the first things that made me look into how the entire system works and whether it's fit for purpose. It should be at most that...

But most US sports stop and reset their position very quickly. NFL style playbooks wouldn't work in a lot of our sports because the play flows and continues to a much larger degree.

Phrase from my teens I don't hear anymore "I think you're fit. Do you wanna have sex?" :(

I agree, but as we're supposedly talking about MR attention to detail I'd say having the players train at the same time as they'd be playing a match is a bit more of a relevant detail he might focus attention on than a few dandelions.

But would you then have similar arguments like now of people arguing that their representative MP hadn't ranked everything in the same order as the people would've?

If you want. Just make sure that the top class take £500 from the bank everytime as well from the money kept from the tax man in offshore accounts and trusts.

I've always wanted to ask him - does he get the players to train on the pitch at the same time as a matchday (ie 3pm) or adjust it for evening kick offs? Get the players bodies used to the matchday exertion 'rhythm'. If the players are training in the morning during the week and have their feet...

Having it as two step is possibly an option, but the choices have to be binary. Trouble is that in order to have any kind of option of a deal on the ballot it would have to be negotiated beforehand to be able to be put forward - we can't do that now and if those negotiating don't want us to...

This is quite a random thing to post, but due to the never-ending political and economic discussions in here I wondered if anyone else had ever played the game with someone but set it out to be more 'real life' to make a point? What you do is each piece represents status in life and each gets a...

Don't think it can be. Brexiteers will say the leave vote has been split and remain given unfair advantage in a poll.
