Yep.

They are, but we're aren't really playing with any width if they immediately come back inside. Madueke went outside once, and clipped in a good cross. It's Evatt ball so far.

Indeed. Wish we'd actually go out wide occasionally though. Backwards and sideways instead of having a go at the fullback. Time yet though.

Birmingham's prayer making ceremony had a prayer read out in Arabic, with a translation afterwards. Thin end of the wedge, so maybe they have a point. In English, or don't bother.

Only heard about some that couldn't cool them down sufficiently. Presumably they didn't have AC- have there been others with it and still closing?

Of course, most folk don't have time. If folk are going out shopping, or for some grub etc, and they need to charge up though, a lower one would do for a top up. I remember needing another 10 miles or so just be sure of getting home from Southport once- plugged in at tesco (low power job), grabbed some scran and ate it whilst topped up. All very civilised! 😀

Don't forget they got a tad upset when lofty flexed his muscles in front of them. Pies on the pitch iirc.

I suppose the subsidy helps there though. Ours aren't, and without doubt they're a bit of a rip off. I understand that these high powered jobs will cost more, and need better supply, which all needs paying for, but if prices are too high then folk will avoid them. If time permits, folk should use the lower power ones.

I suppose it depends if AB wants to go in a different direction to the manifesto last time round. Then again, there have been changes to and new policies that weren't on the manifesto anyway. Inevitable that some things have to change, as world events do, but doing some unannounced things shortly after being elected isn't a great look! I'm not sure the appetite is there for one at the moment, but that could benefit AB as he gets his "new manager" bounce.

Not on here mate. I do have some "receipts" though. 😀

Similar with the latest by-election. Why 40% of folk can't be bothered is a mystery.

Ta. If Stokes did go, then it would be his own fault. As captain, he knows better. As a player, he's got form and isn't setting the right example off the field. Some discipline required throughout the squad it seems.

I didn't have a beer with him, but he did come across as decent, until I got home and realised he lied to me personally. After bullshitting in writing. Classic example of someone prepared to do and say whatever it takes to get the top gig. He's far from the first and certainly won't be the last. Just another self serving twat on the road to power. For all his faults, I don't think Starmer was quite of that ilk. Just weak and a poor PM.

What has happened? Other than the nightclub incident, I wasn't aware of anything in the game.

Wasn't even away of last night's games- not for the first time. Strange kick off times, huge competition and it's hard to be overly bothered. Yet.

Meh, no better than JJ on that real.. 😀

As was discussed earlier on the wireless, Burnham is an accomplished, more natural politician, than Starmer. I'm far from convinced he is as accomplished a parliamentarian as Starmer, though shares an ability to switch and u-turn. Is he PM material? Well, my mum us as staunch a Labour supporter as I've ever known, yet she said Burnham won't hack it, especially internationally. Quite revealing really.

Cold weather will purely from using the heater/blowers and wipers. I once had to do a course about driving for efficiency, in a mondeo. Apparently, I'm naturally geared that way, nevertheless with the heater and blowers on, on a cold wet day, the fuel efficiency dropped quite a bit, irrespective of driving style. Not just evs that suffer.

He surrounded himself with human shields, which he tossed under the bus to protect himself. No wonder they were happy to turn when the going got tough. Just reading earlier about a "get together" at the Fabian society, where cabinet ministers, Sadiq Khan and Burnham were all present. Essentially creating the means to depose him.

Sky news to the right? Bloody hell. As for the captured BBC, they're up their own arse in DEi dogma, hate the right, and have massive issues with their own staff. Some of their "ex-pats" don't speak too kindly about them.

You'll have tomski after you! 😀

Rivalries come and go- if we avoid Wigan for a generation then newbies will wonder what the fuss is about. They're created at a time when teams play each other quite a but. Local (Derby) teams are different of course- which has enhanced the Wigan situation of course, but they will cease to be considered such if we avoid them for a while.

God's own place that.

Yep, we were. They were giving a bit of the big un, and he slapped them down with the phrase "they don't know" when he was talking about our club, its history, and his live for it, and us. Got a roar of approval did the comment, and it's one of those moments that sticks in the memory for ever. What a man he was.
