  1. They are if you look at social media. Actually turning up in person is a different proposition. Keyboard warriors don't tend to travel far.
  2. I mute ads on TV and look at SM instead, where I get bombarded with ads.
  3. We're playing in a league lower than we would've been if the weak management, financial mess, and the cock ups we all know about, been addressed and players had been more motivated and committed,. That said, I expect we'll do OK on Saturday. Longer term, what's needed is a confident, vocal keeper (not convinced about Stol) and strong leadership from the back. Still a bit of a worry that the overpaid players that remain still won't be all that motivated during a difficult season.
  4. It's rife and unwanted (by me certainly), but you can't block it except for the "show me less like this" button then the message "got it, you will not see content like this for "a few weeks" then it starts to reappear. It's insidious. Once you click on something of interest such as "women's fashion" (as my wife did) for example, that has something else hidden behind it, you're screwed.
  5. Imagine how terrified that guy must've been. The stuff of nightmares. Sadly I thing the Russians and possibly the Ukrainians will use this kind of terrorism more and more.
  6. nope not this topic
  7. That was on FB earlier but the suggestion was it was live pigs that had been decimated by traffic. Twats posting in response feeling sorry for pigs being killed. FFS.
  8. It's flat, isn't it?
  9. I've known this since science class in school in 1967.
  10. And get another corrupt "leader" who can be bought in? I have absolutely no faith in FIFA, EUFA the PL and our own EFL. It all stinks of corruption. There's no trust in football AFAIC. Yet millions will still follow like sheep, pay the devil the dollar, and that's what Infanticide and his cronies know. It's the cash cow for international football where money is everything. Do you think FIFA are bothered if Cyprus or Uzbekistan et al, pull out? The more major participants might protest now, but they and the lower profile national teams can't ignore the bribe of potential increased revenue if they go along with this. It's horrible and for me, signals the death knell of truly competitive international football.
  11. Will any of our league 1 games be shown live on Sky/NowTV? I'd like to watch some with mates in the pub.
  12. Still, at least it wasn't this bloke. News Article - Devon & Cornwall Police
  13. Never seen it on any newspaper shelves for quite some time. Maybe it's subscription only and gets delivered to your door.
  14. I refuse to ever look at this topic ever again... I have enough guilt in my life as it is
  15. Unless it was Sunday and the 3 people attending church were put at mild risk. She must've been really worried. Still, it would've been a sad loss if the church had burnt down.
  16. And still there's people who are in denial about corruption in world (and national) football. Sadly the real fans and supporters of their national and league teams have no voice anymore except to change tack and support lower league and to stop giving money to the big and potentially corrupt clubs. That's never going to happen as long as the likes of the PL, La Ligue, the Bundesliga etc and Sky, get the big crowds, the millions watching across the world and the big bucks that creates. Football has sold it's soul to corporate greed.
  17. I read this and then had to smile at the stupid responses.
  18. When has he ever played... anywhere that someone might have seen him? He's a ghost.

    Dogs

    A year ago we got a cockerpoo puppy. He's a pain but also an absolute pal. We're still in the training process and it can be challenging but we wouldn't be without him now. I do wake up sometimes, worrying about how we'd cope when the inevitable happens. I really hope you have the best time with him till the end.
  20. Can I also add that during my time at Gateway, they brought in the first computer to be used in schools. It took up almost the whole ground floor of the science block, it was huge and took ages to program an equation and get an an answer. Also the school won the BBC Young Scientists of the Year Award for a fingerprinting process which was unprecedented at the time. Young Scientists, Fingerprints, and PVC - Communicate Science

    The Weather

    Well at least once all the grass gets burnt off we'll be able to see the dogshit that people can't be arsed to pick up. We nearly bought a house in Barwell many years ago but once we took a look around... nah.
  22. Ever since I (and many on here of a similar age) can remember, school was all about a fixed curriculum, like it, succeed or not, this is what you will learn. I was fortunate to go to Gateway Grammar school as it was back then. It was quite progressive in it's curriculum in that it encouraged kids with non academic traits to try other things, not extreme and not far off the mainstream but if I wanted to join a class that was building a scale version of the Parthenon, I could (and did).
