Lots of good deals around on lease or PCP at the moment as manufacturers are trying to avoid fines for not selling enough (that’s what I was told anyway). Not having to pay for a charger makes it a no brainer imo. Longer journeys,you just have to give it a full charge (80% is normal recommendation) and plan ahead. I’ve found a full charge on a public charger works out about the same PPM as a petrol journey, so the only thing you lose on is the time you take to plan the stops & a bit of stress when it gets below 20%.

Perhaps he’s running the marathon the following day.

I was genuinely surprised, so much so that the snap dragon traded her patrol in for an EV as well. We’re on octopus IOG and it’s 5p a KW overnight (was 7). Switched everything we can to overnight, dishwasher, washing machine to get that rate. The other great thing about Octopus you plug in and it charges whenever energy is cheapest (not just overnight) and you get 5p kWh for the whole house, not just the EV. After a while you can work out when they’ll charge it in the day (it’s sunny, or windy) and you can time it right around your consumption. I plugged it in about 2pm Sunday & set it to be ready at 4am ( the earliest it lets you). Exactly what I hoped would happen, happened,the 5p rate kicked in for the snap dragon cooking Sunday afternoon and re heating the hot tub after some maintenance stuff. In short we’ve basically managed to shift so much stuff to 5p that our energy bills have stayed static & we are not buying petrol. Obviously, the charger cost us 1k, but I spent a lot more a year on fuel than that, and once you’ve saved the 1k , happy days. It probably helps that the kids have all gone, so it’s easier to control the electric use, but the answer to your question is, we’ve basically saved the entire petrol bill of 2 cars, less a one off 1k payment. It’s a couple of quid for about 170 miles of driving, but we save that by running appliances overnight. Octopus are great, despite being lefties, but their service is second to none.

I can see Middlesbrough stalling, can see Millwall stalling, it could even happen that Ipswich suddenly hit a wall. But all 3, not a fucking chance. Don’t want Ipswich anywhere near he play offs. A knock out tournament involving us, Middlesbrough, Hull & Millwall , id take that every day of the friggin week.

That’s exactly what’s happening.

No way it was a penalty. Fuck me, some of our supporters need to man up. Red card for Moore, Penalty. Load of old pony, it’s a physical game ffs

My first thought was why didn’t he stay on his feet instead of being such a soft arse.

Our centre halves need to head the fucking ball, or ant least stay strong, and stop flinging themselves to the ground every time Moore challenges them. This isn’t the Premier league, they’re not getting a foul FFS

Was that the same Wigan that beat Man City the previous round?

I was interested in these to maybe help offset the energy costs of our hot tub. , but later heard that the ROI is a lot longer than they claim. The conservative estimate is 8-10 years in a south facing garden, not the 6 some are claiming. I couldn’t believe the savings we’ve made since moving from 2 petrol cars to 2 EV’s, so would be up for anything that reduces the bills, but the timescales are a bit of a push. The final nail in the coffin is the grandchildren kicking a ball round in the garden, as one has the shooting accuracy of Adam Armstrong.

How many plod does it take to police the London marathon anyway. Unless there’s a few instances of misgendering a couple of runners in the birds race, there’s not going to be many arrests. I doubt if there will be anything kicking off.,

Looked like Baz with the goal though

Derby earn a corner from the right and Stoke keeper Gavin Bazunu tentatively parries it out to Patrick Agyemang but the American striker can not capitalise.

AI reckons we’ll be Sat 5.30pm

Knock knock Whose there? Bor Bor who Bor ing,

😂 What a cock. What happened last year then? The only thing which makes the FA Cup such a great tournament and different from pretty much any other is the David V Goliath nature of it. The giant killings, the second division teams wining it. The best thing for the FA cup “brand “ is Southampton or Leeds reaching the final and winning it. Why on earth would they rig it to make it like every other competition in the world. Somd of you embarrassing yourselves and throwing your toys out of the pram because a 25% chance happened. #Nods

We ain’t half got some Noddy fans, it’s not a fix FFS

Fucking sending off 😂😂😂 People need to give their head a wobble….

There’s a decent show on Prime at the moment, it’s about a hitman with early stages dementia (not a great career if you keep forgetting things) . Can’t remember what it’s called, but it’s well worth a viewing.

Looks like it can only be the Tuesday/Weds following Derby I think.

Every single player was magnificent, every one played at the level they are capable of and it was a throughly deserved victory. I can’t remember too many games where you couldn’t look at anyone and say “he was slightly off today”, but today was one of those. The big thing Tonda got right was the mental attitude, Managers talk about concentrating on one game at a time, but rarely do. To me we went into this game with the attitude that this was a one off, rather than “let’s do our best, but we’ve got a big game Tuesday”. Whereas they defo had a one eye on Tuesday vibe. Whilst they all put in great performances, I thought Tom Fellowes deserves a special mention, he’s been off it a bit lately, but he was superb and it can’t be easy to play against such a good side when you’re in a bit of a dip. I’ll tell you who else looks a different player, Wood. He was a disaster waiting to happen week in week out, but he looks a decent player now and he hasn’t had that much game time.

It’s not just the back 4 he’s imposed himself on, it’s the whole team. The corner at the end summed it up for me, he was into their half shouting at us to keep it in the corner, as it genuinely looked like we were going to cross it into the middle. We actually might well have done as the attempt to hold the ball there lasted all of about 3 seconds 😂, but that’s beside the point. Baz would have stood there ghost like, whilst he’s involved with every aspect of the game. Class act…

Why luck? Fair play to SR for identifying his talent, getting him into the club and then promoting him when Still left the club (which 99.99% of the fan base wouldn’t have done). It’s still early days but it’s looking like an inspired choice on a par with Cortese picking Poch to take over from Nigel.

We don’t elect PM’s, so they’re all “unelected”.

Cheers Soggy, I was wondering what Aljazeera would make of this historic event. Thanks for saving me the time of looking it up, well appreciated….
