What cost us was not winning the game in normal time. Dabo was a good servant to the club, pinning this on one moment, by one player, isn't quite right, imho. As for VK, we got a bloody good deal; if he's worth even more now, fair enough - we'll still do ok out of it...

Name one time ever, when the sitting MPs of a party actively said, during an election campaign, vote for someone else? Corbyn had his faults, as above, but to pretend that there weren't MPs out there working against their own party at the last election time is ignoring the obvious. Stop trying...

That's funny because I don't remember the left abandoning Corbyn because of anti-Semitism. That's a very convenient lie, by someone who brazenly admits to being a backstabbing, conniving piece of shit. It was obvious that Corbyn had problems that the mainstream media were never going to let him...

Sorry @Ian1779 , not having a go at you personally mate, this VAR stuff obviously gets under my skin a bit, as does the endless focus on referees. I'm getting old and cranky, obviously. 😁

I'm thinking if you make it a red card offence then it stops it happening entirely. What difference does having a player off for ten minutes actually make? The obvious thing that will happen is that the team that goes down to ten, will now start time wasting for the next ten minutes. This will...

There's nothing weird about challenging and highlighting the rapid movement of the Labour party from the centre left to the centre right under Starmer et al. There are people who get outraged by any criticism of Starmer because they think it might hurt Labour's electoral prospects, but are...

The reason insurance companies give, is that being involved in an accident which isn't your fault, seemingly increases your risk of being involved in a future accident. I know that sounds completely ridiculous, but that's the justification used. Shop around is the only advice I can give you...

Good Lord, no. We weren't millionaires. 😄

It's time to play the, "Let's find a country in the world that we haven't pissed off at some point in the last few centuries" game. It's a fairly short list. Failing that we just need to find a country with a government as corrupt and incompetent as our own, and chuck their PM/President a...

Totally agree with most of this, I can usually pick up a "north Cov" accent. Tile Hill, where I mostly grew up, is completely different of course. We all speak proper there, like what the Queen did.

I'm sorry, but that's simply not true. It's not pretend outrage, except to people who don't give a fuck about it. In regard to Gaza, and what appears to be to many to be a serious war crime in progress, some on here care about it, some clearly don't. Similarly, some politicians care, some...

Or don't sign them because they have none, or don't want to step out of line. If you're an MP, and it's a critical issue like this, then what you do or don't say, matters, imho.

In fairness, it's not like the individuals involved with Wasps have a problem paying their bills. Oh. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12716447/Lawrence-Dallaglios-financial-woes-laid-bare-England-rugby-legend-shuts-company-owing-1-900-local-taxi-firm.html

+1 for @shmmeee advice here. We'd perhaps differ on whether Excel is appropriate for this - it can be and I've seen it used this way in various places I've worked. It's ok if you're a "power user" with a reasonable amount of experience, but tough to do and get right if you're not. I've spent a...

Bollocks, beat me to it! I look forward to the new guy's first day at Ryton... 'Hi everybody" "Hi Doctor Nick" 😄

And as for unrest, the last one seemed to pass off without any major issues, didn't it? If there is trouble, it'll likely be stirred up by a few EDL dickheads and my guess is that that's where the police will focus. It's crap, but that's not a good enough reason to override the fundamental...

Why should it be seen as disrespectful? I genuinely can't see that. They're not talking about marching down the Cenotaph at the same time, are they?

Get real mate. A march to call for a ceasefire in Gaza has fuck all to do with wearing Nazis uniforms, disrespecting Rememberance day, or spraying things on war memorials. Who is advocating that? "They died to protect our freedom", is a phrase I hear a lot on that day. That includes the...

If we start shutting down the right to peacefully assemble and protest because it *might* cause unrest, we're on a bit of a slippery slope. In fairness to the police, they seem a bit less reactionary than the home secretary on this one. It's almost like they understand the law and the need to...

Because Rememberance Day isn't to glorify war or wave the flag - it's to remember those who died. Being outraged by a peaceful march on the same day isn't something I can understand, it in no way disrespects the idea.
