A chance for him to grow and develop with us from our rock bottom position

A footpath we use to get to the shop is lined with trees on one side and we recently been hearing a woodpecker. As for my garden which has quite a few trees and bushes somewhat overgrown we only get magpies, pigeons, blackbirds, starlings and Robins pretty boring really.

Until they stop players confronting and arguing with refs over every minor decision all these 'extra' laws will just delay the game even more

Leicester City midfielder has chosen Liverpool Liverpool’s summer is being constructed on two very different timelines. On one, there is the urgent, high-profile work of finding a new head coach – Andoni Iraola now widely expected to take the job after reportedly turning down both Crystal Palace and Bayer Leverkusen to wait for Anfield. On the other, quieter and largely out of sight, there is the work that never stops regardless of what is happening in the manager’s office. The academy pipeline. It is a part of Liverpool’s operation that has quietly become one of the most envied in English football. The signing of Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea in 2024, widely considered a coup at the time, has already paid dividends, with the youngster breaking into senior involvement at Anfield far ahead of schedule. Then there is Trey Nyoni, signed from Leicester City’s academy in September 2023 at the age of 16 and now sitting on 20 first-team appearances. The pattern is consistent and deliberate: identify the best young talent in English football, move early, and trust the process. FSG’s recruitment structure appears to have struck again, and this time, once more, the trail leads back to Leicester City. According to a report from academy football analyst OleKristofferE on X, posted in the early hours of Sunday morning, Liverpool have won the race for 15-year-old Darren Motsi, with the teenager having made his decision. The source was unambiguous, “Darren Motsi, one of the country’s biggest talents, has chosen Liverpool. An enormous coup for the club. They’re very pleased with this one.” Motsi is an attacking midfielder who is left-footed, intelligent, physically beyond his years. Despite being just 15, he spent the entirety of the 2025/26 season playing for Leicester’s Under-21 side in Premier League 2, an environment where most players are anywhere between two and six years his senior. Across the campaign, he made 20 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals and contributing two assists, with nine chances created and a pass accuracy of 76.5% in PL2 specifically. Technically, the profile is compelling. He operates with exceptional composure under pressure, carries the ball with directness through midfield lines, and possesses the kind of left-footed passing range that suits both a central playmaker role and wider positions. His decision-making has drawn particular praise from those who have watched him closely. Internationally, he has already earned seven caps for England’s Under-16 side, including a development tournament in Florida in April where the young Lions faced the United States, Argentina, and Mexico. The source drew the obvious parallel, “He is thus taking the Nyoni route from Leicester to Liverpool.” It is a route that has already produced results. Liverpool, in the middle of one of their most turbulent summers in years, are quietly building the future at the same time. That is planning. That is a club with a vision beyond the noise.

Some restaurants in U.S. host cities, expecting an influx of millions of international visitors for the tournament, plan to combine the tip into the overall cost of the meal to ensure their workers are compensated. I wonder how many will do that and then not pass on the tip value to the staff

City of Leicester & Leicestershire - The Good and Historical Stuff
davieG replied to davieG's topic in General Chat
The redevelopment of a historical Leicester site is set to have a "positive" impact on the city’s street scene, despite heritage concerns. Odeon Arcade, which links Market Place to its front and Cank Street from the rear, is to be partially demolished, making way for flats and retail units. The site is in a prominent location in the heart of the city and features a former cinema which dates back to the 1960s. A new five-story building will be constructed to create 35 flats across floors one to five, with the retention of the facade to Market Place. On the ground floor of the building, there will be space for 13 retail units. Plans were previously laid out to convert the space into flats and retail units, put forward by the same applicant, Mr Almudaihesh. The initial scheme, which sought to tear down most of the existing building whilst retaining the historical facade, was refused in 2023. Its rejection was due to the “harmful impact” on nearby heritage assets due to its height and design. In the area and its surroundings are a number of Grade II listed buildings, with the Market Place facade pre-dating 1948. The fresh plans, which have received approval, were amended to prevent the redevelopment from being “excessively bulky”. Despite issues raised this time around regarding “negative impact” to the character and appearance of Market Place, Cank Street, and the nearby Grade II properties, plans have been given the go-ahead. The city council report said that the benefits of the scheme and the provision of 35 residential units - including four affordable homes - would “outweigh the harm” caused by the development. Plans will see the “eclectic” Art Deco facade facing Market Place retained. The ground floor and arcade are set to be refurbished. The shopfronts on Cank Street will be replaced and the shopfront to Market Place will be replaced with curved glazing, stone and decorative metal work. Whilst it was noted that the small windows will create a “small degree” of harm, the city council report said this element is “clever” in achieving new openings to the property. On floors one to five, the residential units will have communal areas and an internal courtyard, with additional private amenity spaces for many but not all. No off-street car parking is proposed. However, due to the city centre location, it was deemed not necessary. Cycle storage is proposed on the ground floor. A report published by Leicester City Council said: “The application represents an improvement in heritage terms over the previously refused scheme and the issues detailed above could be considered sufficiently minor to be outweighed by the benefits of the scheme and regeneration it represents. “The proposal would preserve or enhance the character of appearance of the Market Place Conservation Area and not harm its significance. “It would cause limited harm to the setting of the nearby listed buildings within the context of which it can be viewed.” -

I'm sure some pension is probably deserved in many cases but it should be related at least to length of service. Also is it contributary? I assume they also get an MPs pension on top of that as well. Then they get a payment if they lose an election, why is it double the statutory payment? Payouts for Losing an Election (Loss of Office Payment) Redundancy Pay: If an MP loses their seat at a general election, they are eligible for a "Loss of Office Payment" (LOOP). [1] The Amount: This payment is equivalent to double the statutory redundancy entitlement, which generally amounts to a few months of their salary. It is intended to help them transition back into civilian life and support their staff during the immediate handover. My gripe is so many of them talk about cutting pensions and other benefits whilst receiving much better themselves. It's like when they voted to stop paying for University courses having all benefitted from those payments themselves, which the Scots, Welsh and NI get a much better deal.
