    Driving standards

    Waiting to turn right at a filter light and the prick behind me beeping when the straight ahead light turned green. I stuck my hand out of the window pointing at the red light until it changed to a green arrow pointing right. And coming the opposite way at the same spot when the prick on the...

    Driving standards

    It's beyond annoying. What gets me though is that for the majority of a long motorway journey the 1st lane is probably the least stressful one to be in. Everything is ahead or to the right and it's only at junctions where you have to be aware of your left. As for driving standards one of my big...

    Boxing

    The power of the lad is impressive but that split second composure to pick the right punch when stepping back is something else. Needs a step up in class to take him later into fights but I'd imagine there are plenty actively swerving him at the moment.

    What are you currently listening to?

    Usually a bit underwhelming at best or a car crash when bands get back in the studio after nearly 25 years away but this following "Spike Island" has me optimistic that the new Pulp album is gonna be worth a listen.

    Gary Lineker resigns from the BBC -

    Nobody is claiming his posts are a part of his job. During your time in the world of professional horticulture did anyone ever stop you in the street while you were out shopping and say "It's your job to divide hostas and graft rootstock not be out buying food!" People can do stuff outside of...

    F1 2025 (and other motorsports)

    Mad to look back at how many in the sport as well as fans were dead against stuff like the halo primarily on the basis of aesthetics. Zhou Guanyu would have likely been killed at Silverstone(?) a couple of years back without it.

    Dash cams avoid Halfords

    Only went there when I needed a new bulb on my old A3. Any other car I've had I'd always bought from local parts places and fitted them myself but for reasons best known to Audi one of the headlamps required several tools, smaller hands than a baby, the removal of what seemed like half the...

    What really annoys you?

    Threads that don't need to exist when there's a perfectly good one already covering the subject.

    F1 2025 (and other motorsports)

    I've always wondered why some underwhelming drivers get seats year after year but seeing some of this years rookies struggling so much maybe shows that looking underwhelming to a F1 dolt like me is actually pretty credible. Looking forward to Hadjar getting absolutely ruined in that 2nd Red...

    F1 2025 (and other motorsports)

    “Have a tea break while you're at it!” "You want me to let him past as well?" Very much enjoyed Hamilton giving the strategy gurus at Ferrari some much deserved grief.

    Boxing

    Looks like they've squeezed it in between sessions at The Crucible and kept the screens down. 300 invited guests inside a temporary structure in Times Square and everyone else outside watching on screens. It's the equivalent of getting the entire crowd of a football match to stand outside the...

    The State Pension

    Sorry if I'm simplifying things but why did European competitors have a diverse customer base while British one's didn't? Eggs all in one basket complacency? The good times are here forever? There must have been some decisions or lack of foresight / flexibility within your particular industry...

    The State Pension

    Do you think that if the 3G licenses were given away for free or sold at much lower prices then the providers that got them wouldn't have looked to outside the UK to buy equipment if they figured it provided better value for money and greater profit? Seems like a reach. Companies like that...

    Wetherspoons

    Always swerved that one. Even from the outside you got the feeling someone was staring through the brick wall waiting to throw a punch at you.

    2024/25 Abdoulaye Doucoure

    I remember posting that Doucore was an absolute certainty for regular starts when Moyes came back unless a much better player with similar physical qualities was brought in. Others claimed that Moyes would see through him and drop him. It's like they'd never seen Moyes set up a team before...

    Are Notts Forest a bigger club than Everton?

    Europe? We took on the WORLD!

    Are Notts Forest a bigger club than Everton?

    Everton - bigger than Man Utd? Villa - bigger than Citeh? West Brom - the 11th biggest club in the land? Not sure that table stands up to much scrutiny in the 'big club' stakes.

    Does the club need 'rebranding'? Something based around the new location?

    Someone with more local knowledge will know way more than me about the specific links but from a geographical viewpoint isn't the distance between BMD and Ruperts Tower pretty much the same as from Goodison?

    Does the club need 'rebranding'? Something based around the new location?

    I don't understand this. For example let's take the biggest cultural export of the city - The Beatles. The fact they are from Liverpool wasn't what gave them worldwide fame. Being from Liverpool or known to be from Liverpool was entirely academic and didn't give them an advantage. Cindy Lou...
