    Any runners out there that use smart technology?

    Runkeeper and Share My Run are a couple of apps I've heard of, but I think there might be others you can use these days too. Good luck on the run mate. :)

    2-year old killed in hit-and-run, McDonald Road

    I'd have to say that I'm not in favour of a zero limit. I don't see the harm in a pint at lunchtime, for instance, and driving afterwards. I don't do it often, but I have and I will again. I've done a lot of miles over the years, used to get paid to drive back in the day, and biggest danger I...

    High Mileage Diesel

    That's OK, I can't normally tell whether the Audi driver behind me has their foglights or main beam on because they're always right under my bumper. Usually they're so close that I can smell the driver's aftershave! Grrrrrrrrrrr..... ;)

    I think that's about the truth of it Moff, but for me these are some of the worst kinds of offences - unprovoked violence against a total stranger. If we aren't putting people away who are doing this, then with the biggest prison population per capita in Europe, who exactly are we locking up...

    Good idea, a bit more like this... Nick as Hannibal, HH as Mr T (obviously), and I think that means I get to be the good-looking one who gets the girl. :) Can anyone here fly a helicopter?

    High Mileage Diesel

    FSH is the key, btw. No fsh, walk away, no matter how shiny, imho. Check the MOT history too, that can uncover dubious mileage and other possible issues - you can do that free online at the gov.uk website..

    High Mileage Diesel

    Fwiw my old V70 had 250,000 miles when I sold it, and ran on for another 30,000 at least. I also ran a BMW 528i for well over 250,000 miles and I've got another one now which is a nipper at 150k. These were all petrol btw. I've gone off diesels a bit, even though they are generally better...

    Cov City Fans Jailed

    Could be mate, I honestly couldn't be certain. Fwiw, my experience tends to be more like yours, in that more people tend to get away with it than are caught for it. The only observation I'd make is that in this case the Judge seems to have made his decision on the basis that the Cov lads...

    I'm sorry to hear what happened to you mate, genuinely, but I wouldn't assume that anyone involved here got sent down for just pushing someone over who was threatening them with a bottle....

    Cov City Fans Jailed

    If he alone or as part a group used or threatened violence against another individual or group, then that might happen. That's pretty common in these situations when you think about it. With all due respect though, the court balances the evidence presented so it's not just down to the police...

    Cov City Fans Jailed

    I wouldn't want to comment on the specifics, because I don't know them, but the law says this iirc... You're allowed to use reasonable force to defend yourself or those around you (or as I understand it to detain someone who has committed an offence). However, you're not allowed to chase...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Thanks, I'm aware of the details. It might not be a 'breach' of the regulations, but it's not trivial either if it costs you £20k. It's also a bit embarassing if only a year or two ago your owner was quoted as saying something like... "We are strong supporters of the salary cap and believe...

    Swansea seals new lease deal on the Liberty Stadium

    Yep, reminds me of when we were offered an extension to 250 years for £1 million. Oh no, wait, I'm thinking of that rugby club from London, sorry.

    Wasps current finances & hope

    I wouldn't want you doing my accounts. A 40k audit error leading to a 20k penalty would be considered very poor practice by any business that I know or have worked in, especially when it's combined with the bond 'oversight'. Put it this way, I work in a business that turns over an awful lot...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Interesting, because the coverage I've seen suggests that Cipriani choosing not to commit to Wasps is a bit of a story in rugby circles. The salary cap thing just shows to me that (like the Bonds) Wasps aren't entirely capable of keeping their administration straight. Not entirely reassuring...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    Where's your evidence for it being a myth? I can show you a lot of proof that changing every time we have a bad run isn't working for us.

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    Maybe the problem is the endless lack of stability. The owners don't help but I'd like to see someone given a few years to build something, rather than the continual managerial revolving door.

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    If you go through as many managers as we have, and you're still struggling, then clearly the issue isn't with the manager. How about, just for once, we give someone a few years to build something before panicking?
