    What a shock... the trust "speak up"

    I don’t really have an issue with the trusts request. We’ve heard nothing of substance recently, only rumours of a potential return, which appear to be unsubstantiated. Gives the club/SISU the chance to state how they currently see things ie ‘we want to a deal but wasps refuse to remove...

    General Election 2019 thread

    From what you say there Shmmeee, I don’t think we disagree on the Uni’s (unless I’ve misunderstood your comments or not been clear myself). As i say, no issue with tuition fees but I believe Uni’s are overcharging for certain courses. I’d also quite happy for government to subsidise those...

    agree shmmeee, that something isn’t quite right with the grammar school system but I’d would still rather have them than not (I’m just a comp boy but two of my best mates went to a grammar school, neither particularly from well off families, one from single parent family). I don’t know much...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. MK Dons Match Thread - Saturday 11th Jan

    Let’s not get too downbeat. Yes we should’ve won but we have had a great run recently, played some nice stuff in patches and I actually thought MK were a half decent (beaten Oxford, Portsmouth and Bristol Rovers recently so no mugs)

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Being nimble and flexible is important though sick boy. What I meant is, for example, when the EU is trying to reach a trade agreement they have to consider the implications of no tariffs, quotas etc on each individual country and even regions within those countries. So, what might be fine for...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I’ve read that it will be a partial deal focussing on the key aspects before the end of the year (well that’s what the lady now in charge of the EU was indicating). The fact is there is likely to be some kind of extended standstill position/talks past the end of the year even if it’s not classed...

    Oxford - Are they showing the way

    With Pask, Jones and Allen coming back to fitness, hopefully the squad will be strong enough. As mentioned above it would be good to have additional cover for kelly and godden (I think Max will certainly do a job but unlikely to be as prolific) but realistically are those players available in...

    Iran & USA

    Thought it was way too much of a coincidence. It would’ve been a mistake no doubt, however, when the US made a similar mistake with an Iranian passenger jet 30 years ago, Iran (allegedly) were involved in Lockerbie as retribution.

    Agreed. I think the underlying idea of a 4 day week (slightly longer hours, possibly combined with shorter lunches) is a good one for a variety of reasons. Microsoft have proven it can be successful (in terms of productivity and well being) and in addition it should reduce traffic etc so better...

    Of course he’ll be fine financially, the point was more around the Royal Family taking the appropriate actions

    General Election 2019 thread

    no issue with sitting in the fence, its more picking sides (anti west usually) and then refusing to behave like a grown up when it comes to one of your countries supposed allies. I have little time for Trump but we are talking about the relationship country not the person

    General Election 2019 thread

    I have honestly read little objection (in right or left press) to someone doing something, even renationalising if necessary, rail. Also just read that Johnson has been on the phone to the Iranian president today. When the public were given a choice between someone behaving like a PM and...

    General Election 2019 thread

    See previous post Shmmeee. Very different stripping an under performing company of its franchise and paying £10s or £100s billions to utilise utilities/energy/broadband (in addition to rail) I’ve read that Johnson is reviewing the whole rail franchise model, which I for one support

    Working to Become Financially Independent

    Actions speak louder than words Ian, Prince Andrew has been pretty much sacked ! Also, I don’t think it would be wise to publicly comment on a family member when they might be involved in an ongoing police investigation !

    General Election 2019 thread

    To be fair, I think a lot of the public (left and right leaning) don’t agree with the rail set up. Most people’s issue with labours manifesto was the ideological nationalisation of other industries (even those performing ok) including the free broadband for all. Even if we’d prefer to have...

    Working to Become Financially Independent

    I think fair play to them, whatever makes them happy and I hope this does. I’ve always had a soft spot for Harry and William, losing their mum at an early age. What I do disagree with is the comments that anything negative written or said about them is racist. A majority of the previous...
