Not striking me as a country where they’re working themselves until they drop tbh, if anything it seems the opposite. If you wander past office blocks around 5pm they’ve already emptied out and locked up. I’m often in the office until 7 or 8pm and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Maybe the...

Under our brilliantly thought out franchise system the taxpayer is on the hook for compensation to the TOCs when there’s a strike. At least when it comes to rail most of the stuff around ‘they won’t agree to modernisation’ or ‘they won’t work Sundays’ is absolute rubbish. There was agreement...

Been in Copenhagen the last few days and now in Aalborg and it’s exactly the same. Offices empty out and people stay out. There’s bars, cafes, restaurants everywhere. People by the waterfront or any piece of open land. It’s such a different vibe. Not sure it would work back home. Take a wander...

I’ve worked at numerous private companies and not once have they tried to link productivity or any other objectives to inflationary pay rises. I did work at one place where they decided to more closely monitor how much work people were doing as a means to push them to do more. Within 6 months...

This is exactly the problem. The Ticketmaster e-ticketing system uses the Ticketmaster app which generates a constantly changing QR codes. Those codes are then scanned by readers using Ticketmaster’s backend system. The tickets we use are static barcodes which can be used in the turnstile...

Think people need to remember that we don’t own the stadium. Altering the ticket infrastructure isn’t going to be a quick or cheap job and we would need to either pay for it ourselves or convince Frasers to do it. There’s lots of things that would be nice to have but I suspect King will be...

Must have shrunk in the wash mate, its happened to a lot of my old band shirts

So to sum up Bassette good, game shit, everyone who couldn’t be arsed to go moaning there’s no atmosphere

Someone needs to invent a device that lets you pause live, non internet streamed, radio so you can get cwr in sync with sky

They do this for hype. They’ll put a ridiculously small number of tickets on sale so they sell out instantly to whip people into a frenzy before the main onsale

Is that the pay on the gate queue? Tbf they’ve been saying for the last couple of weeks not to leave it until tonight

I’m in Copenhagen at the moment and had pretty much this conversation with some locals last night (yes alcohol was involved!) talking about how quality of life seems so much better here than at home. One of the locals said we’re obsessed with never ending growth, the stock market etc, they just...

Shaun of the Dead is back in cinemas soon for the anniversary although surely she’s at least seen that one

Wish all I’d needed to do to pay for mine was play a few gigs. Seems a better option than years of paying off debt

Paid for by the organisers hopefully. Some of us are old enough to remember when people would lose their minds when about 10 people a year would be caught at reading with weed and wanted the festival to have its license revoked

Singer from Sum 41, who are currently finishing up their farewell tour, also has an announcement Wednesday. Surely it can’t be?

I think it’s down to what the CPS think will lead to a conviction. Although anyone who watches shows like 24 Hours in Police Custody will have little faith in the CPS being up to the job

That’s then both signing for Surrey next year then 😂

This is the problem isn’t it? People see reports of the highest tax burden since the war while at the same time see every public service going to shit. Not sure there’s many people who believe if a bit more went out of their wages each month things would get any better. Very different to when...

I can never really get my head around doing this because someone has different beliefs to you. But I guess you only have to look at social media to see how angry people get about people having different beliefs to them even if it doesn’t impact their day to day life in the slightest. Not sure...
