I agree, but sometimes talented kids are given more scope to push themselves although it can't be as good as having someone leadng you at your own pace. My mate was fantastic at maths and could've passed his A level after the first term probably but had to wait for the two year course to take...

I'm sure there would have been people 1000 years ago who were saying the same thing about Mercia, Anglia, Wessex etc all becoming 'England' with all these different cultures being smashed together into one. And give me dull over fear of foreigners with their different cultures. Without all...

That's not completely true. The Tories are the main reason we're here - they were the ones that wanted the cuts and austerity in the first place. Had it just been Lib Dems do you think they'd have pushed through those cuts? And those cuts may well have been watered down from what the tories...

I had that in the late 90's/early 00's. Basically the school got more funding the more people it got into uni, so would look to find a uni course for everyone regardless of where it was or how relevant. One lad wanted to be a groundskeeper/greenkeeper so the teachers were going through the UCAS...

Yep. Mainly for all those scientists/chemists and labs taken up testing athletes rather than finding cures for diseases. Priorities. I was going to suggest maybe they'd have to declare they wre taking them, but then you'd still have to do the testing which negates my point. So do what you like...

They did ban allowing people to do somersaults in the long jump. Only reason Fosbury Flop got allowed was because he kept it secret until competition and on the day there was reason in the rulebook they could disqualify him.

Yeah I know, but technically it does still mention Red Bull. Is it a way round advertising bans - just take the company and translate it into another language?

No they wouldn't. If they hadn't triggered the extension or offered him a new contract on at least the same wages they get no compensation at all. Otherwise every team would just take on a huge amount of kids and release them so they'd be due compo.

Although when we had that stupid new badge I thought "I can do better than that" so mocked one up. Just changed it to RBesque colouring (lighter sugar free blue though)

Problem being Toro Rosso is literally Red Bull in Italian

Their backing down on tuition fees in order to get their other main policy of a referendum on AV was a massive strategic error and they were rightly hammered for it next time round. They should have known that both Tory and Labour would support FPTP because it works massively in their favour...

I wasn't going on what others have said - I'm going on what previous experiences strongly suggest will happen. It was the poster saying Brexit would get 400+ seats that was quoting what someone else said based solely on if you took the EU results and extrapolated them to a GE. I was pointing out...

Unfortunately posting this message will ruin it but scrolling down the threads this is what I saw Holidays 2019 where are you all going Chernobyl

As I said the ban hangs over his head, like a suspended sentence, until retirement. If he gets transferred then that team can't pick him against us - it was there before they signed so they should know about it due to research. If he's transferred to us doesn't matter as he won't be playing...

So you really believe Tories would get only ONE seat at a GE?! Peoples voting in a GE will be very very different to what we saw in the EU elections and Brexit would pick up a handful of seats at best I reckon. Like I said, after the last EU elections we had loads of people saying how UKIP were...

Something else that annoys me is bans - just taken at the next available game. They should be against the team the offence was against, even if it carries forward for a number of years. Let's say a player gets sent off against us in injury time and the whistle blows so we get no advantage. That...

When can we put names to faces?

Already done. Meeting room 4. Unfortunately she spent all day in room 6.

Could we become Coventry Red Bull Elephants? I'd have no problem with us playing in red (with a bit of green) as they are after all the city colours.

Went to uni, didn't bother with the partying and took it 'reasonably' seriously. Not really been much help and would've been further along a career path doing professional exams and I'd have earnt more. Trouble is that degrees have become devalued, but the big irony is that when they were...
