Is that the best you can offer? A meaningless, comment unrelated to the issue. A simple comment that you clearly haven't considered: the government could and would have still implemented the change if we were still in the EU. Incidentally, the SFI system we now have is a huge move away from the CAP, and as a self proclaimed environmentally driven individual, you ought to be greatly supportive of it. Another example of inaccurate, snide guff being used to defend an utterly crackpot move.

That's crap. Why can't he support his fellow farmers? Is it because he's well off and can take the hit? Another eat the rich comment. He's done more with his series to highlight the difficulties they face, than anything or anyone in recent times. His ventures into diversification are following government laws and guidance- something which applies to every farm- have shown the ridiculous conflict that occurs within planning and nimbies. We can also see the ludicrous, burdensome administrative requirements, and the poor performance of DEFRA in getting out SFI payments. I've seen it first hand, with a hedge replanting scheme kiboshed because of the concern over slow payments. In turn that cost me money. The comment about rich folk avoiding tax by buying up farms is also wide of the mark. Obvious as it is, and as pointed out by a tenant farmer; is that their rents may have to go up, which they may not be able to afford. Another risk to their businesses. When the main justification behind any scheme is that "it only affects a few" then it is a terribly poor do. What's more 27%, or whatever they claim (it's different depending of which branch of government is appraoched) is not a small number. They don't operate in the way other businesses do, and the food we have is underpriced, so be careful what you wish for.

It's the hole that kills though.. We could still make it. With or without him. How long do you wait though, before someone else gets the chance?

Seems the most likely scenario. Of course, if, by some miracle, we start winning those local games and put a run together then, the board would feel justified. The only way beyond that though, is to achieve promotion. With so many false dawns though, it's a tough gig to keep the faith.

Mental Health/Depression
Tonge moor green jacket replied to MancWanderer's topic in Behind The Stands
As in the article- it can have knock on effects. I often refer to it as a touch of the Septembers. That's typically when it starts, but then you start to expect it, get concerned about it, and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. There may be additional stress related triggers that set it off initially, or an event that occurs unexpectedly, as a one off, that again brings it on at a different time. It's stll a touch of anxiety that can lead onto depression. Remember in the summer, we get vitamin D boost, are more active and sociable etc, that typically allows us to "get over" stresses etc quicker. Therefore, even if something creeps up on you for a day or so, you're in a better position to rationalise and cope with it. Not necessarily the same in winter. Thats why it's all the more vital to get the fuck out and do something fruitful outside, even if the weather is a bit biz. Even in winter, light levels may still be higher outdoors than inside. Plus it is of a frequency more beneficial than that of artificial light inside. Of course you can get "daylight" type bulbs in your fittings, but then if you use them in the evening, before you retire, then they can have the effect of delaying the onset of the natural sleep rhythm. -

Mental Health/Depression

Seasonal affective disorder. Absolutely no doubt in my mind. Reading an article about Monty Don, and how badly he is affected each year. Weirdly (or not) since I've been settled on an epilepsy medication that works, it has barely been there this time. The odd day maybe. I have more energy, less inclination to comfort eat, and now managing to lose weight, despite the medication itself having the effect of making it easier to gain weight. Just being in a better frame of mind means I can be a bit more focused, clearer of head, and more active all round. Just as well really, given the amount of leaves that have fallen this season. -

Certainly a juxtaposition. Supposedly a more understanding, accepting society, yet one that is more aggressive. We will all have our thoughts behind why, but that's not for here. As an aside, it's international men's day today. -
It was admitted at the time that they would be subject to the same early release. I understand that an example was to be made of folk, but simply use suspended sentences etc, rather than this. Bonkers.

What difference would it make if there was a bloke in it? It's all done by the vehicle/on the ground.

Clearly much worse up there, though areas around Sheffield had schools closed today too. That said, they should have got the roads sorted, unless there is much more to come.

Something gone off in town. Bank Street cordoned off, ambulance reported to have left the scene.

I'm not so sure. At least it would put the record straight. Many fans have made their mind up, and that won't change barring an upturn in results. At least if we know, then at least for the time being, fans should just get behind the team.

🤣

Roads are clear here, reckon you'll be fine.

All a bit meaningless unless he sells.

Then it's Evatt's fault for not seeing this, bringing in those players, and being unable or unwilling to adapt both to their abilities, and to the opposition. Other managers, with squads you wouldn't swap for ours, are managing to adapt, and arguably get more from them than we do on a consistent basis.

Dawn Butler can re-tweet "racist" comments without any concern whatsoever. Surely there is a case for a NCHI there, if journalists are fair game?

No, the one I watched. Never seen this lioness job.

Aye. Probably best done as another film. Another nork-free zone too.

Paris has fallen, on Amazon. Dunno if it has been mentioned above, but I'm about to finish it. OK if you ignore the obvious flaws-the maim protagonists have very quick healing skin- and a reasonable underlying story.

Just been over the tops, through Belmont and Abbey Village. Was snowing a bit on the way, and quite heavily on the way back. Not sticking on the road fortunately, but what happens over night, who knows.

He's painted himself into a corner with comments over the seasons. Pretty much whatever he says now, is likely to be met with disdain. Folk will let it pass if results are good and progression is obvious. Otherwise, it is a slippery slope.
