    Healthy eating!

    Let's get real for a second. The people who are forced to eat processed crap food because they can't afford to switch an oven on are in a tiny minority of processed crap food eaters. Most people eat so much crap because it's convenient and they are lazy (I'll include myself in there). Fair play to @dsr-burnley to get 3 decent meals for about £10 + cooking expenses. @FoxesDeb is probably onto something around household make up.

    Daka

    He touched the ball more than Vardy and he only played stoppage time.
  6. Sometimes people get added to this thread too easily, but this POS and all his followers fully deserve their place. The internet can be a disgusting, disturbing, dark place full of weirdos.
  7. I'd want to expand it further than this, but in a similar way... 3rd and 4th Play Off semi. 5 - 8 Play off QF. Anyone in the top half have something to play for right to the end.
  8. I think Jeremy Hunt hinted at an October election in the press a week or so ago. Nothing official though.
  9. January 28th is the latest a GE can take place, but there has to be 25 working days in the lead up. Given that would encompass the festive period, it's highly unlikely it will be that late. I would think October would be sensible. All the MPs will be back after summer recess in September so can get going on it then. Sunak will want to wait as long as possible. Interest rates possibly falling in the summer, some nice weather and maybe a scandal or two involving Labour MPs might soften the public enough to not leave the Tories facing complete obliteration. It's a damage limitation exercise, everyone knows he/they will be moving out of 10 Downing Street.
  10. That's not quite right. Maybe after the 80th minute, which is still good, but as the game enters the 90th minute and beyond, there have been 13 games with goals. They've scored 8 and conceded 7. And in fact, they'd be a point better off if there was no injury time at all. Most of their injury time goals actually didn't materially affect the outcome.
  11. I'm still optimistic that we'll get the results we need. The Bristol performance was poor, too many sloppy mistakes, but some recent results haven't reflected performances. It's clear for me that Enzo needs to either get the team playing his system in a way where we can raise the intensity when needed instead of one pace throughout, regardless of score, or he needs a clear plan B when Plan A doesn't work. Our results have been appalling recently but with our quality that can't continue. From a maths point of view, we have a game in hand over the two above us. We're just 1 point behind Leeds and 2 behind Ipswich, plus our goal difference is better than Ipswich. The fanbase here is concerned for good reason, but people saying we won't win another game this season are way off. We will, and I think we'll do just enough to get over the line in the top 2.
  12. Please refrain from allowing the truth to ruin a good conspiracy. This is the internet. Thanks.
  13. 100% this. The league isn't going to be decided today regardless of results. The top four will still have to collectively play 35 games between now and the end of the season - plenty of room for mis-steps and unexpected results.
  14. Christ! Yesterday was pretty sweet: We were heading into the business end of the season ahead of every other team in the league with an FA Cup quarter final to play. This evening I have read the last 5 pages of this thread and even though we haven't kicked a ball and the situation is exactly the same as yesterday, I have literally given up on this season, resigned myself to another season in the Championship, without a manager and I find myself looking for odds on us being relegated to League 1 next season!
  15. Please win tomorrow!
  16. Not sure that Kate can simply be fired.

    Whisky

    https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/wanted Start here. Get two or three valuations at least, if you can. The Whisky Exchange will likely want to retail anything they'd buy, so would offer you less than what it's 'worth', but it'll give you a ball park figure and something to compare other valuations to. Good luck.
  18. Ipswich's style is refreshing to watch. Portman Road isn't short on excitement for sure, but if they go up (and I hope they do), they're going to have to play differently otherwise they'll be smashed most weeks.
  19. Here's the thing... The jury system is a well oiled, tried and tested system that is largely reliable but there are some imperfections. Realistically the best type of system might be some sort of mix and match. Sometimes 12 reasonable members of the public are fine. Sometimes a particularly complex case might benefit more from a bench of lay judges. By the time a case gets to trial by jury, the evidence gathered will have been scrutinised by police, CPS, prosecution barristers and defence barristers. After all of that, the CPS will believe that there is a realistic chance of prosecution. There are varying degrees of certainty but in the vast majority of cases, the CPS are happy to proceed, in fact, the evidence is often so obvious, it is questionable as to what the point of the jury is at all. The CPS would be seen to be a failure if cases were literally a coin toss and they had a 50% success rate - what a waste of public money and court time that would be. They don't just rock up to court and see how it goes. Some cases are particularly high profile or very complex/serious and CPS might be less sure of a (positive) outcome. These are the cases where a panel of qualified judges might be a better option in the interest of justice. Of course though, this may raise the issue if fairness of trial. A defendant who is innocent until proven guilty would probably (if actually correctly accused) be better off rolling the dice and taking their chances with a jury - so who gets to decide?
  20. I watched the final episode and thought it was a real eye-opener for all the points you've raised. I'd caught a few minutes here and there of the other episodes and I was very much in the murder camp. My wife had seen the whole thing, she was in the murder camp too. It was really interesting viewing around how dominate personalities within the jury room can sway others around to their interpretation of what's been presented.
  21. Hope he's good with a name like that.
