Weston Super Saint

I suspect the reason why [some] rape victims are not believed is probably because proving 'rape' can sometimes be very difficult. In the majority of cases it will come down to he said, she said with only two people present - one of which will obviously be lying. Doesn't make it right, doesn't make it legal but also doesn't make it mysogynistic.

And yet, in English law, a person is 'innocent' until proven guilty. Therefore, as I'm sure you are aware, the onus is to prove the guilt and not the innocence! Therefore, in English law, there is technically no way / need to prove innocence....

DO you think Jessica Ennis Hill will be offering up an apology?

What a short memory you have! How can you forget the magnificent Portakabin he had installed at the training ground that they rent, the enormous fence that they put up there, the fact that he got the academy players to pick up all the dog turds and syringes and the crowning glory of the Sports Direct table tennis table. You need to give this giant amongst men a little more credit!

At least Roy Hodgson's giant head turned up to watch. He's not got a lot else to do these days.... Or is it Ted Bates's statue mark I?

I love the guy in the comments who says that one win followed by two losses is not going to get them out of the league! Errr, it will, just not the end you are hoping! It's all about perspective really and looking at things in a different way

I like the way that 'stars' have been added in the post to stop us from reading those Russian swear words. That stevegrant must be proper clever to know about Russian profanities

A lot of fuss about this article, but personally I think it's brilliant! Very well written and he's only saying what everyone else is thinking! It's put some pressure on Danny, but he won the Master's so should be able to handle it! http://www.nationalclubgolfer.com/2016/09/27/pete-willett-i-aint-partisan-hes-my-brother/

I'm assuming that the 'community share' capital is the money that they 'gave' to the club however many years ago. Since there is absolutely no chance that the club will ever be repaying this generous 'donation' then it stands to reason that the 'community share' capital is currently a grand total of zero pounds. That, right there, is their get out clause if anyone asks for their money back....

And you're not likely to! I got an email from them yesterday afternoon cancelling the interview saying the dynamics with the client had changed and they'll be in touch once they know more. Sounds like bull to me....

To be fair, the 'Trust's' bank account is not the same as the 'club's' bank account, but with £53k in it, you'd think they could afford a new table cloth or even an iron. I'm sure though that any potential 'investor' in the club who doesn't meet the rigorous and high standards set by the trust will have his / her investment vetoed. Oh wait, no, with a mere 48% of the shares they're not in a position to do that are they

Have you thought about just sticking an 11-32 cassette on the back? If you went to a proper compact you would only gain two extra teeth - vital in Portsmouth, but not quite so on a bike! - with a 34 front ring. I've got the full 50-34 and 11-32 setup on both my bikes but even at my size I am very rarely in the 34-32 combination and tend to use it when I'm being 'lazy'! The only time I feel I actually 'need' that combo is when I go round the two bends going up cheddar and it ramps up to over 20% [although I did previously do it with a 28 on the back before I changed!]. You might save a few quid keeping your current chainring on. The only thing you would need to consider if you are just putting the bigger cassette on the back - to be honest the cassette isn't that expensive at about £45 for the Ultegra - would be to make sure you have the 'medium' sized rear derailleur cage fitted. If you currently have the 'short' version, which is quite likely with an 11-28 cassette, then you are looking at around £135 for the Di2 cage and the short cage will not work with the 32 tooth. Having said that, the ability to keep spinning at around 70rpm even once the slope goes over 15% is a godsend as the higher cadence helps to keep the lactose in check!

Strangely, I'm looking forward to the autumn / winter riding as well! New mudguards fitted to the 'old' bike which also has some new boots on for the winter roads - vredestein fortezza senso http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/reviews/tyres/vredestein-fortezza-senso-weather-road-bike-tyres - which get good reviews as a winter tyre. I've taken the bike out once with those on and it made no noticeable difference to the time, but that was before I fitted the mud guards and haven't ridden it since then... Still hoping for another couple of weeks of dry weather to take the 'new bike' through it's paces. Initial feedback is that it works very well. A few little niggles with the mechanical setup - rubbing brakes, rear derailleur needed a slight tweaking and front derailleur needed to be moved out a couple of mm's - but seems to be working fine now. I tried the mavic tyres that came with the wheels for a couple of weeks but took them off on Saturday and swapped them for some conti gatorskins which despite my tired legs still gave a better time than the mavics which just seemed a little bit 'sluggish'. As for the wind in the winter, living next door to the sea, I've had 30-40mph winds most rides during the summer, so I'm kind of getting used to it now and it's more of a novelty to finish a ride without having battled a block wind for 10 miles!

Good luck I'm interviewing on Thursday for the same role in the Weston Super Mare distribution centre. Like you, it's ideal for me and five minutes drive from home

Have you tried a company called 'Futurestep' : http://www.futurestep.com/ not sure if they still are, but they were looking for an onsite recruiter in Southampton as they've just won the contract for all the Lidl distribution centres. For an onsite role the pay is very good....

A lot of the posts have been deleted but you get the idea: https://www.amazon.co.uk/forum/amazon/ref=cm_cd_pg_newest?_encoding=UTF8&authToken=&cdForum=Fx20NG9OQFCP0QF&cdPage=1&cdSort=oldest&cdThread=Tx3MOX2HIIVZHHD Doesn't sound like the most glamorous of jobs and the hours look like they are very long - working for 15 hours a day and only being paid for 10 doesn't sound fair. Not sure I like the idea of these types of roles being classed as 'self employed' either. They clearly do NOT fit the criteria for a self employed role as the 'employee' has absolutely zero control over what they do, when and how they do it, with the 'employer' dictating everything, including the route to take to deliver the parcels. To me, this is a 'cheap' way for the company to 'employ' staff without paying the costs associated with employment like Holiday Pay, Minimum Wage, pension, sick pay, national insurance etc etc.

We're not knocking them for boycotting it, we're knocking them for claiming they would all buy tickets - and thus give the club much needed money, being 'fan-owned' this is what they do - but then boycotting the ticket office as well....

Isn't this the 'boycott' where they were all going to buy tickets, so the club wouldn't lose out, but then not turn up in protest? Looks like they've forgotten about the first bit....

Can you not just ban him? What goes around comes around....

Fingers crossed that I will one day! Put it up on the stand again this afternoon for a shakedown and ran it through the gears only for the chain to slide over and into the spokes! Phoned up Ribble whose customer service is absolutely terrible! The guy I was speaking to asked what I thought they should do about it! He said he would get it picked up tomorrow which means it will get to them on Monday. They will then take 3 days to look at it before sending it back to me when it will arrive next Friday! After several discussions with the manager - with me pointing out numerous times how disgruntled I was with their service - they have now agreed to pick the bike up tomorrow as planned [it's now back in its box] and they will build a new one tomorrow and send it out to me on Friday so I will receive it on Monday. Maybe next week I can play with the new toy.... Looks like my ride tomorrow will be back on the old bike! Still, at least I can get out!

Two weeks today since my last ride! Withdrawal symptoms are very strong but legs are well and truly recovered! Stitches out tomorrow morning so I should be able to put the new bike on the turbo and fiddle around to get the setup right. With luck, i may even be able to take it out for a spin on Thursday... I've finally taken it out of the box and the tyres that are wrapped around the wheels are Mavic Yksion Elite Guard - I can only find one review on these and they seem to be OK so I'll give them a whirl and see if the review is right....

Fingers crossed they don't get held up in any of the nightmare traffic on their journey to Exeter today The M5 Southbound is already filling up and slowing down and it's only half nine, wait til the caravans get down here from the North of England and it will be carnage! I can't imagine the A303 or A35 routes will be any less painful with the amount of traffic expected on the roads today

Is this the fine that the gap toothiest were clubbing together to pay?

Brings a whole new perspective to 'Mom's warm apple pie'.
