    What an amazing turn around in cultural habits

    It could but it won't. When anything like this is discussed you always get the same response of people saying it happens everywhere there's nothing you can do about it. Without the will to change things nothing will happen.

    Cup Game vs Boreham Wood to be the Sunday

    I can't. Why 2pm on a Sunday if its not a TV game, which I assume it isn't as it says could be altered if its selected for TV.

    Positive News for the Academy - Wasps pull out of Higgs

    7 years rings a bell which is obviously much better than year to year but it would be nice to get something long term tied up.

    Positive News for the Academy - Wasps pull out of Higgs

    Next step will be to get the restriction Higgs put in place removed so a long term deal to stay there can be agreed.

    Positive News for the Academy - Wasps pull out of Higgs

    Hard to tell, there's only one here at work and he seems to have taken it as they don't want to be at Higgs and have somewhere better lined up.

    Positive News for the Academy - Wasps pull out of Higgs

    Didn't they borrow enough in the bonds to cover the interest payments? So unless they've been really stupid and spent that you'd assume they can make the payment. Past that though its hard not to see something isn't right. They've got rid of people at ACL and not replaced them, using Fishers...

    Positive News for the Academy - Wasps pull out of Higgs

    Great news. As for the pool surely that now doesn't need to go where the indoor pitch is or a new indoor pitch can be built where Wasps were planning to go. Pool plans will surely need to be changed anyway as they previously included facilities linked to rugby which won't now be needed - not...

    Dennis Wise

    Is he skint? Would have thought he'd have earned enough not to need to do things like this.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Not to pick on Astute but this highlights the problem all parties have in getting economic policy over to the masses. Even in sound bite form people struggle so when you drill down into the detail you've already lost the interest of most voters.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Best thing to do with VAT is overhaul the essentials list which is a complete mess. Anything that is genuinely an essential zero rate. Nobody can really argue against paying VAT on non-essentials As by definition they are things you don’t have to have.

    Stewards at the CCFC-WBA game

    In the absence of the SCG someone needs to email that new chap (the one that isn’t Fisher). If you buy multiple tickets on the gate they should be together, can’t see that being too hard to sort out.

    NHL

    Just having breakfast in Stockholm. Can see into the arena from the hotel restaurant. The first of two Sens v Avs games tonight - can’t wait.

    Harvey Weinstein / Sex Scandals

    Haven’t Louis CK and Segal both been accused in the past? Louis CK’s manager handles a lot of big names in US comedy and it looks like he’s been very active in covering this up over the years, be interesting to see how his other clients respond. Jeremy Piven posted this and he has a point...

    Ashes 17/18 Thread

    I can't see past 5-0 at the moment. England don't seem in great form and leaving Stokes out has removed any chance of being competitive. The injuries seem to be piling up as well.

    Stewards at the CCFC-WBA game

    Stewards asking fans to sit in the right seats (looks like they might have been sat in a block that wasn't open as nobody else seems to be sat there on the video, maybe you just can't see them). Fans won't move to where their tickets are so others start having a go at the stewards. Simple tip...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Not being convicted is not necessarily the same as not doing something illegal. He got a VAT refund on the basis that the private jet was solely for business use. His social media clearly shows the jet regularly used for non-business purposes. So how is he legally entitled to the refund? Maybe...

    Jack Cork

    The rate players are pulling out he might be playing against Germany.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Not really, with respect to Hamilton the law is clear. He's only entitled to the VAT refund if the jet is solely for business use. Not really sure how a two day holiday with his mates comes under business use. The point about financial advisors and accounts writing the laws was with reference...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    How is it legal? He claimed a VAT rebate of £3m he was only entitled to if the jet was used solely for business, 30 seconds on his social media is enough to see it was also used for personal trips. Not to mention that some of these things aren’t loopholes. As Panorama showed those responsible...

    Christmas Decorations

    Miller & Carter is opened but they’re doing Xmas Dinner and will likely be rammed. Las Iguanas isn’t a place that comes to mind for me if i was thinking of somewhere to go Xmas Day. Suppose you’ve got people who don’t celebrate Xmas but would they bother going into town when everything else is...
