Hahahaha, you surely cannot be regularly buying from Amazon!!! You do know they're owned by a billionaire, exploit workers through a complex value chain and are an environmental disaster??

Good shout re old coffee house, decent boozer. Alongside jam pot as a London pub you have to tick off for historical reasons

Bloor is Measham, not Hinckley. Good story though, left school at 15 and now worth over a billion

Cofresh. Think the sale price was £50-75m when they went a few years back??

If you're walking that way, try Lyceum tavern and savoy tap

Royal Mail IPO'd 11 years ago. The Czech you are talking about already owned c.30% of IDSL (which is Royal Mail). You're over a decade late with the Robin Hood comment.

A better idea for me would be sticking to the theory. Stop meddling in other cultures to produce more westernisation and further markets, and actually invest in the countries and their customs to allow them to prosper. But ofc that means less profit, so I agree it is a weigh up

True in theory not sure about practice. If that is the theory, it’s been a horrendous trade of late. Investing in countries to spread division and fear and create profitable opportunities and geopolitical power is a uniquely British trade, how the empire was created from a country that can only offer potatoes and steel after all. Chinese executing this trade v well in the last 15 years with their ‘investment in peace’ across Africa

Yeh blaming it on the ‘players attitude’ is just an easy modern football excuse. They aren’t good enough, that’s it.

Leicester City and VfL Bochum - Blue and White Friendship
grobyfox1990 replied to AndWhat?'s topic in Leicester City Forum
Mostly watched the end of the Bochum match whilst waiting for ft at newcastle away. The keeper got whacked by a lighter from the crowd. Everyone left the pitch, game suspended. Players eventually came back out, but the keeper is injured so an outfield player goes in goal. The players just passed it around for 5 mins until ft. Surreal -
Yeh agree. Not everything has to fit into a pre-packaged and labelled condition. She's got emotional issues that she hasn't dealt with.

That being said there's obviously the money angle to it which is huge. You get loads of dumb 20 somethings in jersey spending £100+ every Friday night in the worst pubs drinking the worst beer known to man, then complaining they haven't got any money to do a Ryanair weekend away. So I guess if you do a month off the blob and you spend like these people you could save a fair whack

Same, think dry jan is a dumb idea. Having a bit of time off before going back to normal is only good for the ego. I only drink fri and sat and less than 14 units 3 weeks out of 4.

Chelsea in Kazakhstan today, very jealous of that. The ultimate trip. I recall we could have drawn a Kazakh side in the round that we eventually played Randers in.

Unbelievably I was just thinking this. An estate agent just asked me for a review for some work they did. The work was rolling forward a document and changing a name and date. And being charged £180 for the pleasure. What kind of review do you expect for that?!?!

I'd say >66% of games have gone to general sale this season, Wolves currently on general. Edit - home games that is, all away games have sold out so far] Edit edit - sorry Wolves isn't, I'll alter my percentage to about 53%

Yeh I thought he was still employed by Chelsea and any new employer would have to pay out his contract
-
Yeh but domestic broadcasters are the ones that hold the current slots. If it was up to global broadcast, we'd have a sport like boxing where we wouldn't see kickoffs until midnight.

I love it, watched our game at 2pm then Spurs v Chelsea at 430pm with the F1 on the second screen on Sunday. Great way to spend an afternoon when buildings were shaking in the wind outside. I think to stop all this nonsense people need to 'cut the cord' and switch to IPTV and protest vocally whilst at matches. Dunno how much of an effect boycotting stadiums will have.
-
This was really good, listened to it when it first came out. I keep an eye on this podcast because they have a lot of F1 people on it

Good idea in theory but unfortunately people are more interested in saying 'games gone mate ticket office shambles' on the internet than taking action. And I absolutely do not want my face in the public so cannot launch a campaign like UFS and foxes trust reform so excellently do
