  1. At best a sideways move. We'll now find out who is going to take us on the next stage of our development.
  2. "Everton wanted to sign the 44-year-old but they decided to hire former Valencia coach Ronald Koeman instead, who signed for the Liverpool-based club last week." They've kept that quiet.
  3. Given their record in the last election I'd take any poll with a huge pinch of salt.
  4. Which isn't mentioned on the ballot paper.
  5. What do you do on the hottest day of the year so far ? 100km, ( less a few metres ). Would have been over the ton but I took a shortcut in the last 5 miles, riding along the sea wall. http://www.strava.com/activities/599723492
  6. Are there any non-posh Etonians ?
  7. This.
  8. What should they do ? The press are free to make up and publish whatever sh!te they like, ( especially that piece of toilet paper ), players are mercenaries, and contracts are worthless.
  9. For a club that apparently has ambition, how on Earth would Giggs, Howe, or even Martinez be the next step forward ?
  10. What a load of tripe.
  11. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/eureferendum/12176663/EU-Facts-how-much-does-Britain-pay-to-the-EU-budget.html
  12. If we do get a new manager then we are just putting ourselves in the same position as the other teams chasing the EPL title next season; Man Utd, Man City, and Chelsea.
  13. Gove again trotting out the £350m figure - it was a lie a month ago, it is a lie tonight, and it will continue to be a lie every time the Brexiteers quote it.
  14. How on earth do they kepp getting away with the cr@p they spout ?
  15. That would do it for me.
  16. Standard bullsh!t election blather.
  17. When exactly was the last verifiable 'meltdown' ?
  18. You're probably the only one on here I'd expect to try it ! https://www.strava.com/routes/458089
  19. The Navy's emphasis for gunnery was on 'rate of fire' rather than pure accuracy, and each main gun shell required 4 bags of cordite, ( each approx 270 lbs for 13.5" main guns), which had to effectively be hauled up 4 storeys from the magazines each time a gun was reloaded, so each turret needed to move 8 bags every 30 seconds ( for 'rapid fire' ), in addition to the shells themselves. In 1913 the RN increased the amount of ammunition that was to be carried on the Battleships and Battle-Cruisers, such that it could not all be stored in the magazines, so such short cuts were tolerated. ( see http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/331-loss-of-the-british-battle-cruisers/ )
  20. Once I get as far East as the A6, there isn't any more flat. My 56 yo knees complain a bit on the 'up's, but my boyish bravado enjoys the 'down's. There are 2 really long descents on that route, and on relatively empty roads speed is easily built up and maintained. However the second one has one major issue, two thirds of the way down there is a crossroads, and as you are on the minor road, you need to remember to brake !!! There is a set ride up here called the Bowland Badass, I've ridden about 80% of the route, ( accumulated over several rides I have to admit ), the only bits I've not done are the 2 biggest climbs, but hopefully I'll get them done soon. ( There's no way I'd try it all in one go ).
  21. Most of them, on both sides.
  22. So that's what BoJo has on his head !
  23. Just imagine you are a lookout on the lead German battleship, and as your ship emerges from a bank of mist you see the British Grand Fleet, ( which you believe to be still in port ), arranged in line, stretching directly across your course from one edge of the horizon to the other. At that moment you probably realise that victory is not an option.
  24. Is that taken from a quotable official source, or just brexiteer wishful thinking ?
