Darts should a version of xG, but which is pts/BMI. Would be interesting.

How can you be so simple and unsurprising and yet so sweepingly epic? Classic.

Children could kill with catapults, farmer warns - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y30lr7rnvo.amp No kidding? I mean, just ask Goliath. Yeah, I know that was a sling, but slingers were commonly used as artillery in the bronze age and I'd imagine modern catapults are more powerful (plus not many people are wearing bronze armour).

Don't know the guy and hadn't heard about this (though I've not been at work for almost 2 months now). Got to be going some to be over 5 times the limit though - that's like at least 7-8 drinks within a couple of hours.

Occasionally the base of the cap is loose and when you twist it round it swivels to the bottom. At which point I just tear it off, thus rendering the whole thing obsolete. It's essentially a solution to a problem that didn't exist

EFL referee atrocities?

Probably

That was a penalty. Shocker.

Has the VAR team in the NI game got to get the kids to school in the morning?

Real passion and will to get that equaliser from NI. Would love to see that from our guys.

Bit harsh on Tilly.

I bet Larry didn't fancy her.

When Larry Grayson took over The Generation Game I thought it couldn't get any worse..... But then, Jim Davidson.

Is his arrest warrant still in effect?

I love the way so many people seem to know what goes on behind closed doors. Everyone should chip in to buy the club for the fans and run the club as a committee. It would be hilarious.

Firebreaks work

A case of the end justifying the need?

He will descend out of the sky over the Dome of the Rock, wreathed in light, to a fanfare of angelic horns and M-16s.

Thought provoking. Especially when you realise that almost all our technological advances have been somehow militarised.

Played a board game this evening that @leicsmac would probably like - Earth Rising. A co-operative game for up to 6 players where you have to get industry, agriculture, energy use, culture, politics and infrastructure to work together and stabilise the world in 20 years (turns). We nearly got overwhelmed by energy usage, but managed to bring everything under control with 2 years to spare. Always a disappointment to win a co-op game the first time you play it but we just go lucky. We checked the cards for the final 2 years ... We'd have been obliterated! Ok, so it's just a game, but I think it does a great job of showing how all these different areas are interconnected. The balancing of resources and the cooperation you have to put in and some sacrifices are all there and the game does a great job of making them vital, or it's game over! Not only but also, the game is environmentally sound. No plastic pieces, it's all card from recycled sources and the game creators really have done a good job of making what is a primarily fun game, educational too. Worth a look if you like a game now and again.

How do you know his middle name?

I can remember paying on the turnstile, but in decimal currency

I think you'll find he was very discreet about them.

I do miss the days when you could just turn up and buy a ticket.
