  1. Do you have solar panels too?
  2. Excellent stuff.
  3. Me too, though I've also heard of the tree before. I'm not into nags, so googled to see what had happened. Then saw it was the tree.
  4. When I saw this footage-a different angle to the initial one- then I thought it looked like another dodgy anti aircraft missile! Fantastic clip of the incredible power of the explosion though.
  5. Rayner will be behind Burnham I would imagine. Streeting did once call for her to be brought back, but I doubt she will back him.
  6. Makes sense that. Like everyone else, I thought wtf initially.
  7. Who are you with Mick? I've just reviewed and renewed with octopus. New 12 month fixed tariff has seen electricity go up 2.8p/kwh, but standing charge fall by a similar amount. Likewise with gas- unit price increased by standing charge fell. God knows why, but I've snapped their hands off, given what's been happening in the world.
  8. Just checked again- got it wrong, around 22p per khr. Bastard standing charge is the twatty bit.
  9. I pay around 35p/kwh for leccy anyway. If I was to go on an ev rate, then the day time rate would be higher! On the face of it, that doesn't sound too bad! I don't use an ev set up though, as my mileage is bugger all.
  10. Must be a horrible situation to be in that. You have to look after yourself though, to be in the best shape to help her.
  11. Signed after, fairly sure. Maybe they were already aware of him, but I'm sure I remember watching him at the world cup and thinking he would be a good signing. Either way, sometimes a chance has to be taken, before someone else does.
  12. Things tend go around- maybe in time as teams stifle newer styles, then the longer range shot may be seen as an alternative to possession football that has been nullified. I remember a journalist asking Allardyce about that after (Nolan) had scored a long range goal
  13. Said the Rabi in the mosque.
  14. The initial post said others, and didn't specify where. Additionally, others in the nation will be of a similar ilk. If course she works hard, and has achieved success on the back of it. That doesn't mean others elsewhere couldn't do the same. By your metric, those who have played the game and worked in it the longest must be the best. You dont know how much "knowledge" she has accrued compared to others in and around the game. Presumably Ryan Giggs, Gareth Barry etc will be the best managers because they have the most knowledge. Clearly that isn't the case, because management isn't, in any way, purely down to knowledge of the game. One Mourinho is a perfect example. There will be plenty of sporting journalists around too with a hell of a lot of experience who may be perfectly capable of becoming a manager if they so choose. Did anyone complain when Allardyce and Evatt got the gig here, given their limited success at lower league football? No, and they were appointed because of what owners felt they could bring overall, and not purely because they were perceived to have more football knowledge than everyone else.
  15. Maybe it's just the memory playing tricks, but I don't think there are as many long range goals scored. We see more of these bendy shots to the back stick like ACD does. Even Phil Brown chipped in with a few back in the day from full back, with drives from edge of the box.
  16. She is very good. That debacle last night wasn't her fault- whatever producer thought it was a good idea is off their rocker. It did her no favours whatsoever, and led to mass disdain. Doesn't mean she can't be criticised though as it was all a bit dull, and some of the "technical" language was a bit cringeworthy. Leave her to be a normal pundit rather that something off the Open University. The subsequent memes have been funny though, and she'll be remembered for years to come.
  17. That depends on how you define and measure knowledge. To suggest no one could do what she does because they don't know as much is bizarre. Management and people skills are acquired through life experiences, as well as experience within a field. Many people throughout society will have more experience of managing people than she has, whereas some will have been involved in the game longer. Are those individuals to be discounted because they're not doing her job?
  18. Unfortunately, it's all too true. Seems a bit of an odd way to express support, but then again, if it pricks a few consciences, so be it.
  19. Not sure about that. KS will be looking at ways to give them the vote beforehand.
  20. But you could miss out. Remember a young starlet called Gardner?
  21. Seems a lifetime ago! Always remember the players as they were when we saw them play. A sort of nostalgic churning feeling when you watch them back. My veggie bed is better quality than that pitch was!
  22. Eh? Forced to produce real quality? This is the world cup and the top teams tend to have real quality! We will need to be better defensively if we want to win the tournament. Bit like watching Bolton this season- quite good offensively, but at times conceded too many. Unfortunately, in a cup, we can't afford that one slip up game.
  23. Shame. Have it made into furniture and auction it off for charity.
