They did ban allowing people to do somersaults in the long jump. Only reason Fosbury Flop got allowed was because he kept it secret until competition and on the day there was reason in the rulebook they could disqualify him.

Yeah I know, but technically it does still mention Red Bull. Is it a way round advertising bans - just take the company and translate it into another language?

No they wouldn't. If they hadn't triggered the extension or offered him a new contract on at least the same wages they get no compensation at all. Otherwise every team would just take on a huge amount of kids and release them so they'd be due compo.

Although when we had that stupid new badge I thought "I can do better than that" so mocked one up. Just changed it to RBesque colouring (lighter sugar free blue though)

Problem being Toro Rosso is literally Red Bull in Italian

Their backing down on tuition fees in order to get their other main policy of a referendum on AV was a massive strategic error and they were rightly hammered for it next time round. They should have known that both Tory and Labour would support FPTP because it works massively in their favour...

I wasn't going on what others have said - I'm going on what previous experiences strongly suggest will happen. It was the poster saying Brexit would get 400+ seats that was quoting what someone else said based solely on if you took the EU results and extrapolated them to a GE. I was pointing out...

Unfortunately posting this message will ruin it but scrolling down the threads this is what I saw Holidays 2019 where are you all going Chernobyl

As I said the ban hangs over his head, like a suspended sentence, until retirement. If he gets transferred then that team can't pick him against us - it was there before they signed so they should know about it due to research. If he's transferred to us doesn't matter as he won't be playing...

So you really believe Tories would get only ONE seat at a GE?! Peoples voting in a GE will be very very different to what we saw in the EU elections and Brexit would pick up a handful of seats at best I reckon. Like I said, after the last EU elections we had loads of people saying how UKIP were...

Something else that annoys me is bans - just taken at the next available game. They should be against the team the offence was against, even if it carries forward for a number of years. Let's say a player gets sent off against us in injury time and the whistle blows so we get no advantage. That...

When can we put names to faces?

Already done. Meeting room 4. Unfortunately she spent all day in room 6.

Could we become Coventry Red Bull Elephants? I'd have no problem with us playing in red (with a bit of green) as they are after all the city colours.

Went to uni, didn't bother with the partying and took it 'reasonably' seriously. Not really been much help and would've been further along a career path doing professional exams and I'd have earnt more. Trouble is that degrees have become devalued, but the big irony is that when they were...

But what we now think of as British was once considered foreign. Just over time it becomes assimilated into society and becomes part of Britishness. I doubt even Victorians would think of us as 'British' with our taste in clothes, food, language, manners, vulgarity etc.

I'm the same with the 6 yard box - does it actually perform a function other than for goal kicks? It's not like it's an area no-one other than the keeper can go in. I think paybe a semi-circle between the posts as a 'goalie area' like in ice hockey might be worth a look. I'm trying to think of...

Just been listening to the cricket and I always get annoyed with the batting clique. Always look down on bowlers and laugh at their technique at batting. So I say lets even it up in limited overs - everyone has to bowl as well. Lets all have a good laugh as batsman get smacked around the ground...

I forgot to put something akin to parts iii and iv in especially. Part ii is sort of in place but is never upheld. Needs the sin-bin idea so anyone doing so has a 'cooling off period'. Part i I've no problem with either as it stops people going down feigning injury to timewaste etc.

But what happens with the children of the immigrants born in this country? They will be British, so the percentage of British will increase. Just as many other people in this country have their ancestry from elsewhere but are now English, myself included. In fact a lot of the people you'd...
