    Things that annoy you

    Ticketmaster Germany. If you thought it was bad here theirs is horrific. Low number in the queue, got in to a sold out arena. 30 minutes later 'platinum' tickets start appearing all over the arena and hundreds / thousands more than face value.

    World Cup 2026

    I don’t know if I feel sorry for the regulars about how blatantly they’re being ripped off or if I just think they’re fucking idiots for still going.

    World Cup 2026

    But surely at some point people tune out? Curaçao vs Ivory Coast and similar don't strike me as ratings winners.

    World Cup 2026

    32 World Cup was pretty much perfect. Meant there was actually something to play for in qualification and a risk a 'big' team might miss out. Now its just a formality. 2 games a day was ideal, even then it was often hard to sustain interest until the knockout stages. Now there will be an...

    Where will we finish in the Prem?

    If you offered me escaping relegation on the last day of the season via goal difference right now I'd snap your hand off. Unless someone comes in with loads of cash I don't think we're going to go crazy with new signings. Just doesn't seem the way King will go. If that's how things play out...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Not if nobody knows about it. According to Fox News “The United States has decided to keep the funeral processions of soldiers killed in the war with Iran completely secret, with a strict ban on cameras.”

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Does that matter, do they seem like people who look at the polls and believe either their polices or they themselves are unpopular? If its not someone agreeing with them its fake. That's if they're even looking at them. Remember it being reported in Trumps first term that they had to try and...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    The last week or so there's been a bit of chatter on socials about amendments being made to their requirements for selective service and even the potential for a draft. That all seemed like nonsense as you would have thought there was no way Trump would send troops in but if he is this could...

    Under the arena

    Didn't Wasps get given a chunk of taxpayer money to refurb the underground bit? Seem to recall they claimed they needed it doing for the Commonwealth games despite there being no plans to use anything down there for the Commonwealth Games. Although there's every change someone pocketed the...

    cricket 2025

    Its crazy there's been zero changes. You've basically got all the pundits, which include some very knowledgeable and hugely experienced players all saying the same. You've got former players all saying the same. You've got people in leading positions with counties saying the same and that they...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Went to see Project Hail Mary last night. As a big fan of the book was half expecting them to mess it up as is often the case with book adaptions. Happy to report they couldn't have done a better job. Definitely worth seeing in the cinema. Have seen people posting that the 70mm IMAX version...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The messaging was completely wrong from the start. The biggest benefit is by having a high capacity route between major cities you relieve the demands on the current infrastructure which can then run more, and less crowded, regional services. But from day one the messaging was 'get to London a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This story is a bit mental. As much for the way it happened as the content. A story was seeded in the Times at the weekend headlined 'HS2's latest challenge? Cutting the speed of its trains to save money'. The sub headline suggests a linear relationship between speed and cost with every 1mph...

    When did it begin for you?

    1986 I started going to games. In my first season we were up the top end of the league, won the FA Cup and the Youth Cup. All the talk from those in charge was how we were going to push on from there and challenge for more honours. Didn't quite work out like that. Looking back its crazy to...

    Sell outs

    Are they random tickets or in a certain place? Wonder if we've still seats that can't be opened up with the SAG approving it.
