Two things grinding the old gears atm

 

People who STILL cannot comprehend the difference between the Everton/Forest FFP charges and the Man City case. They're totally different and at this point if you think the PL are treating Man City better cos of how long it's taking you're either lacking in any sort of research skills or being wilfully ignorant.

 

The rugby community losing its minds and being so extraordinarily bitter at a player making a career choice to go and try out for the NFL. The response I've read and seen has been exceptionally butthurt.

I agree with your first point but disagree with your second. If anything, the shitty comments I've seen have come from fans of NFL saying he wont make it, maybe he wont but no shame in that given he's had zero experience in the game.

Maybe you should DM your posts for someone else to fire into the News thread then?

The BBC weather heading stating its -7c overnight. Click on it, it's -4c for most of the night, an hour at -5c.

I guess it depends on the area the app covers.

 

In Hinckley the BBC forecast is -4 all night.

 

In the NW of the county it's generally worse as it's higher ground (above sea level).

You piss on the ground where you want to insert the tee 

 

Might get a lengthy ban though

More worried about the state of your arm when you chunk one.

It's wasn't the app, just the website. I'm afraid you're the same in Hinckley, -7 headline but it's not that on the actual hourly forecast. 

 

How is @Izzy supposed to plan for golf if its not right. I mean, that might be a blessing but

Four shots at goal, missed saving all four. I’m spitting nails.

Goalkeeper is a much underestimated position. 

 

I played 5 a side on Monday as usual.

 

Lost 12 - 15. I felt I should have saved at least 8 of the 15.

 

Mind you, I am 68 and my reflexes aren't what they were, but my team mates didn't do me any favours.

My job is increasing our number of days in the office, and the next week conveniently announced the parking charges were increasing too. Funny that

It says “low -7C” then gives an average temperature for each hour. I don’t see what the issue is? The temperature won’t stay -5C for the whole hour. It will vary during the hour based on cloud cover, different front etc. -5C is just the average for that hour, not its lowest or highest point. But “low” showing -7C means the lowest predicted temperature not the average.

Finished 4-4. The one I was badly positioned for, I got my finger tips to it. If I’d been slightly on my game that’d have been a 4-3 victory. 
 

There again, my gump teammates missed and absolute hatful of chances to bury the game at 3-2 - so it’s on them.

Don’t. It’s why I stood up for him for so long last season. Brothers of the glove and all that. 

[FoyleFox]

Are we saying, with Daggers in goal last season, we'd have stayed up?

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Shoppers that use self checkout but put their shopping straight onto the packing area instead of straight into the bag they already have, why? It’s doubling the time it takes .

There'd have been less goal to get a ball into that's for sure.

People saying squashed when they mean “quashed” has become a thing.

I suspect you are overestimating the amount of joined up thinking going on.
