Surveys that involve writing on a plane, a restaurant, pub or hotel that involve you doing some work for a promise of a prize entry. I want a reward not a possible prize. The least they should offer is a free drink, pen, key ring whatever, but I ain't working for nothing. The worst I can...

I switch many devices off at the wall when not in use. Genuinely baffles people. Many times I have been told that the whiteboard in my room doesn't work. Yes it does just flick the switch on the wall! I also mute devices when I am not listening, including all ads and many intros to programmes...

Primary, yes, let them go. Secondary, no way Jose. I can promise you the second I let one child go, the procession begins. One class in the afternoon I used to teach. First kid toilet request NO. Next kid in row after whispering, Can I fill my water bottle? NO. Whispering. Next kid I need to...

Haven't had one for over fifty years when I was a toddler, so I wouldn't know. No idea how anyone can fall asleep in the day. I can only sleep at night in a bed. I can't even drop off on night flights. Also I never get up in the night for a wee and I'm an old fogey (nearly) Seems completely...

The list of pressures on all of us increases but for children today here are a few, Immaturity is encouraged by parents who mollycoddle and do everything for them. This leads to lack of resilience, unable to cross a road. poor skills ... many children start school in nappies, cannot do the...

I think more men are surprised by this than women. This kind of behaviour is well known and people don't speak up because the perpetrators, some men and some women, are powerful and rich and seem untouchable. It may be common knowledge but it is difficult to prove. Once you fail to make an...

I think we need to differentiate here. "Get forward" or "Forward" can mean players not the ball. Even when they went down to 10 and we had the ball they often had 9 players behind the ball and we had only 4 or 5. At that point I was shouting, "get forward" meaning players not hoofing the ball...

A positive for me is that I have seen 5 home games and have yet to see a goal conceded. 4 wins and one draw. Big improvement from last season! Thankful for small mercies.

Not much movement is evident in these screenshots. :smuggrin::banghead:

Another referendum is a bad idea, but if we end up with a "bad deal" being rejected by parliament or a no deal then a general election must be called. Then each party has to come up with a clear way forward: no deal walk away or accept a bad deal or remain. Of course the main parties are not...

I find it amazing that so many people think you can't change the outcome. It seems madness to me that you have to stick to a decision come what may. It is a strange view of democracy that a vote made on one day can never be reconsidered and reversed. How does that even make sense? Have you...

Love this to be true. The thing is football is so crazy these days and owners are a bunch of crooks, chancers or loons, a guy who has acquired his money gambling might be a good bet (see what I did there) :smuggrin:

Some of us have been saying this since pre-season. We need goals. We need one or more goalscorers. Without this we cannot succeed. Cue accusations of negativity or the counter argument that you can go up with a good defence and a low goals tally. I didn't buy it then and I'm not buying it now...

When we just shrug When we just argue who to blame When we call each other names When we accept failure When we say, we're in this league for a reason blah blah blah When we say, we can't play the big club any more It's time to pack it in and choose a glory team instead of this sh't

When will it no longer be acceptable to lose, who to? We accept failure, like we always do.

Coventry City nil.

Impossible to see all parents in time available. Blame the management who insist that every parent's concerns must be addressed but only give 5 minutes. I may teach 150 kids in one year group and have 180 minutes available to see them per year. I am given 5 minutes and told to leave 5 minute...

Feels like a loss to me unless our goal-shy strikers can come good. I know Nazon is back but we need to start scoring instead of relying on clean sheets. I would be happy that we have become a boring 1-0, 0-0 team if I thought it would last but at the moment it all looks a flimsy basis for optimism.

DISCLAIMER...This is not a complaint, merely an observation. I have 3 match packages which works out at £20 each per match, so if a season ticket holder can get me 3 tickets for £15 each I can save £15 overall and use the match packages for full price matches. Not going as it happens but...
