Out here in deepest darkest Devon there's no mains gas supply to our village / town, ergo we rely on oil deliveries. Unlike electricity and gas supplies, the domestic oil sector is effectively unregulated. Hence the typical cost of domestic heating oil has shot up to around 133 pence per litre, up from circa 60 ppl a week ago. I'm led to believe that oil companies typically have a 3 month stock of domestic heating oil, so they're now selling that stock at over double the price, despite it not having cost them any more (yet). Surely there's got to be some kind of regulation brought in to stop oil companies blatantly profiteering in these situations? Approximately 1.5 million people in the UK rely on domestic heating oil supplies, so it's not an insignificant issue. I'm not a fan of over-bearing regulation but surely there has to be some kind of protection from such blatant racketeering...? Why are gas and electricity consumers protecting by price-capping, but oil users aren't...? P.s. I've also heard / read examples of oil companies cancelling pre-existing orders at the previous price and attempting to re-book at the new price... #scumbags #cartel

Indeed. It's really not very complicated, is it?

Not really.... The same logic applies regardless of the number of teams designated for promotion, I would still do it on merit over the course of the season....

Yes, I can see the pros of the play offs but, regardless, I'm still in favour of the best 3 teams over the course of the season being promoted.

Still this ^

Yeah, he was the rear end of the panto pony...

Anyone under 57 years of age...

Oh no you weren't...

Young people. Twats, the whole f***ing lot of them.

I walk straight out of pubs where that happens. Massive red flag.

You'll probably need the Hubble telescope and a large mirror from that distance

This should be in the "Offences to bring back hanging for" thread, not the "Small things that annoy me" thread. Ignorant twats.

Young people on quiz shows who say "that was before my time" when not knowing the answer to a question. Most of f***ing history is before all of our times you f***ing imbeciles. You're just thick twats embarrassing yourselves on national TV. Twats.

You know the world's gone mad when Nigel Farage and Zarah Sultana are on a similar wavelength...

The Wrexham v Saints match has NOT been selected for live TV coverage... Somewhat bizarre...

I'd have loved to have seen what Hasenhüttl could've achieved with decent financial backing, given the minor miracle he performed with zero backing... (Cue the Saintsweb contrarians... )

Based on Steve's comments on Bazunu in the latest episode, I'm going to stick my detective and/or conspiracy neck out and say: Lighthouse = Steve Grant

"Yeah, but we couldn't have accommodated them coz we didn't have a proper right back, innit"

@Matthew Le God is not an annoying twat

American reporters pronouncing 'Iranian' as "Ir-rah-nian instead of "Ir-rain-ian"

I think you're looking for the "popular facts" thread rather than "unpopular opinions"...?

"The stats that consistently put Bazunu at the bottom of the goalkeeper rankings are meaningless"

"It doesn't matter who the manager is, no one is going to get a tune out of these mediocre players"
