Except he wasn't. He never went away. Literally the morning after the Brexit result he was on TV moaning about it and setting up his next 'the wrong brexit' grift. The fact is you could put a dome over the UK and not let a single person in and, as it wouldn't solve all the countries problems...

What are the odds we end up owning a system nobody else is interested in so the maintenance costs end up sky high because everything has to be bespoke?

Guess you can use the why not a bus for any tram system. If we ever get the full thing assume they will be dedicated tram lanes. The argument is they will have much greater frequency than you will get with a bus. Its designed to be a 'turn up and go' service where you don't need to check a time...

The theory is that in cities the size of Coventry there isn't the room for full sized trams and this is an alternative. The other big selling point is that because of the weight you can basically install the tracks into existing roads without having to re-route utilities thus saving a huge...

Not sure there's an easy answer there. Even if we magically found a 'perfect' system so much politically messaging these days is basically vibes there's every chance a Farage like character would spin it as a disaster for their own self interest

Watched a documentary on this recently. Part of the plan involves moving immigrants from 'ghettos', poor area's with a large percentage of immigrants, to more wealthy area's with low levels of immigrants. This is all funded by the goverenment. I can imagine there would be absolute uproar if...

That will be why he's banned people from Egypt, oh hang on a minute, he hasn't 🤦‍♂️

It also makes it very time consuming. For a Blast game I used to be able to finish work, drive to the ground and not miss the start. Stay till the end and get home early enough that I wasn't half asleep at work the next day. Now I need to take an afternoon off work to get there without missing...

What are you classing as taking a hit as that could cover many things? Are you talking not drawing a pension because there's no longer enough people paying in? Are you saying you will not use any NHS services or if you fall into ill health or get dementia you are happy to be left suffering and...

Not jealous in the slightest! The whole experience of going to Edgbaston is increasingly shit IMO. When I started going you could park right next to the ground for next to nothing and getting a ticket for even the most popular Ashes games was a case of wandering round to the ticket office in...

wtf, we had the council put about £10m of their own money in and ended up owning everything. And a tramline that runs past the ground that we still can't use but they're getting handed £400m for a tram. Its not even that far to walk from New Street! Not sure Birmingham really needs 3 arenas...

Can't really remember a world cup or euros on the mens side where multiple players threw their toys out of the pram a month before the start of the tournament and either refused to play in the tournament or for their country at any point in the future. Used to players pulling out of...

There's a real problem coming down the line and there seems to be a head in the sand attitude to it. We're rapidly reaching a point where nobody gives a shit about games unless they are between the big 3, England, Australia and India. Worldwide now you see row after row of empty seats at games...

The more that has been reported on Earps situation the more it appears she refused to accept a role as the #2 goalkeeper and instead it was toys out of the pram and quitting. To make matters worse another player, Fran Kirby, has quit after being told she hasn't made the squad and now Millie...

So you just buy the figures, paint them and stick them on a shelf? Not sure I've got the time, patience or shelf space for that.

The grim news is just relentless

Just catching up with Channel 4 News. Could do with a few more journalists like Krishnan Guru-Murthy. Made David Mencer look a complete idiot just sitting there repeating 'that's what Hamas wants you to say' over and over when the lies are challenged. His CV makes for interesting reading, our...

Imagine that there will be a reserve / kids team playing Leamington as usual

Good start :ROFLMAO:

Welcome to the 'what is this shit' stage of aging :ROFLMAO: This summer is insanely packed. I've got 6 festival / stadium shows plus Iron Maiden doing an arena show in Brum between stadium dates. You're going to struggle to get bands who can sell out stadiums on their own playing fests these...
