  1. Nice train ride fom Copenhagen and back though.
  2. "My brother grew another foot but he doesn't use it as a rule"
  3. Still used in many countries.
  4. I was involved in electronic motorway displays some thirty years ago and the DOT tried to explain the principle to me then. For it to work there needs to be constant monitoring of the traffic flows. And there isn't. Also the settings are too coarse. It's quite z sudden jump from 50 to 40 and there are no intermediate limits at 45 or 55, say.
  5. "If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well It were done quickly" Machete, Act 1, Scene 7
  6. And it's getting steadily worse. They see Sky and others questioning every decision. They see their 'heroes' mouthing off at the officials and think it's all par for the course.
  7. Winning at home once in a whole would be good, I grant you that. But for a club like Southampton winning by boring everyone to death is the antithesis of our principles.
  8. I've talked to people who think that having a good at the ref from the sidelines is all 'part of the fun'.
  9. Not even keeping pace with inflation.
  10. I had no problems with the man himself.
  11. Was that after his constructive dismissal of Fonte?
  12. But a club should always put its home supporters first. I didn't just 'deem' it boring. It was boring beyond belief.
  13. Not on the showing so far but it's only early doors.
  14. Bit of both.
  15. This is how I see things today but I haven't blown my own whistle for a long time now.
  16. They were practically playing in the stands.
  17. I think it was the way that he leaned into the ball that cost him. True, the shot was deflected, but even before VAR and all the rule changes recently I think that would have been given.
  18. You forgot Freeman.
  19. 😲😲😲 Pray tell more.
  20. Yep. My dear wife was terminally ill and I remember it well.
  21. Six of one and four twenty-fourths of the other.
  22. I'm sure VAR would have caught that.
  23. That's another guilty pleasure that you've ruined.
  24. Don't you start at that end ???
  25. My dear wife and I had been saying for years that the seasons were moving to earlier in the year. Traditionally we only have the summer holidays in August so that schoolchildren can help with the harvest.
