Not an entirely fair example, imho. A plane crash kills a few hundred people all at once, and you can clear up the mess in a few weeks. A nuclear accident has the potential, as demonstrated by Chernobyl, to kill or injure thousands of people and take decades if not centuries to clean up...

I'm a bit pushed today, but how on earth can Nuclear be classed as safer than renewables if we're counting deaths and side effects due to Chernobyl? Now you could argue that the technology has moved on since then, but any process capable of this level of devastation in a single incident can...

Finally!

Pah. Would just give us a chance to prove that our Scandi-striker is better than their Scandi striker. 3-1 to the real sky blues... 😁

I suspect that he's that tight I could see him doing it! That said, there are some things that you probably don't want to save money on. As a slight aside, whenever I go on one of those fairground rides that involves high velocities and/or great heights, I find myself looking intently at the...

That was really very, very naughty. He was obviously concussed, and a second concussion whilst in that state is supposed to be particularly dangerous. That said, I thought it was very decent of us not to try to take advantage, by actually attacking or sticking anything in the box whilst he was...

I'd politely disagree with this too mate. I do love footie, but I hate the endless shithousing that's crept into the game and is becoming classed as "gamesmanship". It adds nothing in reality, imho. I can see how having how a pantomime villain or two gets the crowd going, but for all of that...

Completely fair point mate, there's definitely still room for abuse, but I think just from a player safety stuff it's something that needs to happen for head injuries. If it also stops a bit of dicking about to waste time, so much the better.

The reset scrum thing needs sorting for sure, but I think the ref is able to award a free kick if teams are obviously taking the mickey in their line out approach. I just wish they'd do it more often.

I'm all for at least a trial of stopping the clock, things are just getting silly now. The other thing I'd say is that refs aren't obliged to stop the game for every injury. I'd clarify it so that for other than a serious contact injury, or a head injury, the game goes on. Players can...

I can't help but feel that there are a lot of people missing a key point here: There is a world of difference between lawful behaviour, and ethical behaviour. There are set standards for the behaviour expected of local councillors, the Nolan Principles. The judicial review did not consider...

Uh oh. Just as we were getting along so well. :) I work in data too, and GDPR is a real pain in the arse but I'm 100% in favour of it. The key is the ability the opt-out of your personal data being processed, which in some cases is very much the smart thing to do. There's nothing more...

Hmm. Hope you got a decent price on your cryogenics. :)

House of Fraser, eh. Sounds a bit like Game of Thrones. Viktor is Coming! Anyhow, I don't care what it looks like as long as they get rid of all of that Wasps shite... sorry, but I feckin hate it!

Warm bank. They had to heat the court regardless, might as well save a few quid.

Shows how bent it all is...

The funny thing now would be if Ashley turned up in the media the night before King was due to take final control of CCFC, saying that he was willing to offer more for the club but had been kept out of the bidding process.

I'd have thought being without a chief executive for a year would be a literal benefit to the city, especially given we're paying a massive amount for the privilege and that the current holder clearly isn't capable of doing the job properly.

Not entirely sure, but if you don't like him I guess I'll have to say that I think his was a serious, well-founded bid, that's been cynically derailed by dark forces within the Council. 😄

That's just mean. I used my best joined up writing and all of my favourite colours and I even put little hearts above all of the letter 'i' and I drew a lovely picture of me and Mike and Joy and my hamster all standing by the arena under a rainbow with some unicorns and everything and then we...
