That is hugely ironic given you initially ordered a bottle of Peroni. Really nasty stuff IMO, I don't know how they took over the corporate/'I'm trying to look middle class' social market. Of the imported Italian lagers I can only stomach Moretti.

Had an enforced 20 day break between sat 11 - Fri 31, longest period since I was 15 I think. Couple of Guinness over the weekend watching that contrived rugby tournament listening to rugby people really making an effort to congratulate the winning team and reiterate to anyone in earshot how different rugby is to football. I have shifted to only having more than 3 or 4 pints when in London or Leicester.

Finally a proper thread title instead of ‘palace up next’ or something equally infantile. Sincere thanks @StanSP

Post the link of your new group, I will join

Extra 3k tourist home fans at £72 a ticket. Almost like the people running a multi billion dollar business kinda know what they’re doing

Noted the title of this thread but omg you cannot believe that. Kwasi and Liz committed an act of treason on sept 23 2022. People forget how malicious their acts on that day were. No number of Chinese and Russian spies could cause the damage they did that fateful day

You defo leave at 81 mins every home game

I cannot believe in 25 years it's not worked for you, you are surely a complete anomaly. Physical tickets have not worked for me loads, lost the card tonnes of times and had to go to the ticket office to get a paper replacement, pay the fee for a new card etc...

That's my point, it's much easier to share an NFC ticket. Now I'm back on physical ticket it's much harder to swap. Have to co-ordinate physical picking up and returning a piece of plastic for entry into a stadium. Totally pointless waste of time in 2025.

With any change it takes ages to bed in and become routine. Unfortunately we live in a world where we expect everything to instantly work absolutely perfectly, which ofc is not realistic.

It is definitely quicker, easier, more straight forward to share tickets and no risk of losing it. I did NFC the first season it was rolled out in 22/23 and it was very good, like a breath of fresh air. Switched back to physical in 23/24 mainly due to my dad who I got to games with being a typical 'resistant to any change' type of person. Back to the old micro annoyances of having one now. But the £25 fee is a really low blow from them.

Totally wrong. IIRC 16k physical cards against 23k sth’s. We had the banner by UFS at the last 23/24 home game plus some rip roaring statements by them. Whisper it but I think even the foxes trust protested!! The only way to not be ‘spineless’ if you don’t like lcfc is to give up all interaction, or lead the reform, which very few on here will do

Same. Surprisingly really enjoyed it. There’s a lot of skilled jobs there so I bet it’s a decent place to live

Asking for chips and getting crisps. Quite annoying things you do abroad

Always thought buying a coffee out was a fantastic marketing ploy bought from the USA, similar to soft drinks, to get people to waste more of their money. flogging flavoured hot water that you can easily make at home. But I thought surely the numbers don’t stack up? Coincidentally on Tuesday I was in Amsterdam and I went to one of these hip espresso cafes where they ‘create a community no phones etc etc give me all your money silly people’ that my friend bought. Turns out the numbers do really add up!!! From flogging 8 different types of hot drink and a few pastries over 5 days a week. Mad

It's London, we'll have a decent number of fans based there plus the pull of a day out

How much of that is paying city fans tho. From early on you could see neat chunks of seats taken out. Ofc the odd single, pair or block of 3 are genuine buyers, but I’d wager we take about 500 paying fans to this

Jam pot

Arguably the same as us. And ticket office shambles have introduced measures like ID checks at away games, so it would be easy for them to have nfc tickets ‘mandated by the host club’

Surprised we haven’t been forced into it at away games. Everton supporting acquaintance was saying Man U away was mandatory nfc ticketing for them, and they expect the same at Liverpool. One good thing from our ‘ticket office shambles’ if they are pushing back against this

Fair point, I just can’t wrap my head round what the new info the study is trying to achieve which is my issue. Ps would recommend reading the latest thematic review on CFDs in the uk, really good working paper, I’ll be using it as a cut out and keep… https://www.frc.org.uk/news-and-events/news/2025/01/frc-reviews-climate-related-financial-disclosures-cfd-by-aim-and-large-private-companies/

What is reality? If not a combination of our various distorted events, projections, imaginations, ingrained biases and past experiences to create said 'reality.' Ironically you post a study on a scenario analysis, I think any reasonable base case conclusion from analysis of previous posts would result in - sensitive. Of course what you think is relevant, otherwise you are just Phil Bowman with a JSTOR account learning how to copy/paste. And the bumbling buffoon, loveable rogue that he is, would end up putting a laughing emoji on his own comment. I don't like that a study would leave out 2 SSPs, given as I am sure you know, SSPs deal with more than climate outcomes. You say the study is regarding the 'role of adaptation', but you've listed loads of mitigation strategies above. I agree with you on the role of both, but it just adds to the confusion on the direction of your paper. IMO the best thing for effective adaptation is financing. You haven't mentioned green bonds, climate-linked loans, green assets or the huge problem of insurance. BTW before you flip your lid I'm not having a go at you. We're clearly coming at this from different angles. Yours being theoretical and mine being what a reasonably mature client would want to see in a scenario analysis with interpreted results.

I am not ok, I am fearful for your overly sensitive soul. Also on topic, why do you think a paper only considering 3 of the SSPs is in any way relevant? What new info do you think this is showing given the context in which pretty much all mitigation scenarios are calculated with the commonly worked with 5 SSPs? What preventative measures are worthwhile at scale?

The frequency with which Phil Bowman laugh emoji'd other posts was impressive though. I thought I was special in that he only emoji'd my posts, but then looking back through a thread he had emoji'd lots of posts. I never took it as immature/annoying, it's a forum for passing time whilst on MS Teams meetings. But then with gullible and exploitable posters like SpaceX showing their hyper sensitive sides, it's probably too good to resist the emoji. Dagger and Miquel Geordie used to tie people up in knots.

Careful, don't comment on something that doesn't involve you lest you incur the wrath of the paper-skinned Donald Trump/SpaceX offering a line by line garbled rebuttal of your post. He's really chill and zen LOL. I also assume Phil Bowman is banned from posting, he used to put laughing emojis on loads of my posts and it was always really satisfying. Then he stopped, I DM'd him to check he was ok but no reply. I said in another thread that it was good to see him back reacting to posts after I got a laugh a few days ago.
