If you wait until Tuesday, the seats of those who have not renewed become available.

Although I've already renewed, I want to move. Originally, the club said that you could do that from tomorrow. They've now changed that to Tuesday 17th.

The tech entrepreneur who was to lead the "DOGE" team to go into Kent County Council has also resigned. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy60vjy1y8o

Chairman resigns. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq54p9epdg6o

And all of these "world-class" people are working for free.

Had an enjoyable few hours at St Mary's yesterday watching my grandson play in the Southampton Cup. It's a 2-day tournament featuring 123 children's teams in six age groups from 7 to 12. The morning sessions start at 7.00 and run till about 14.00, and the afternoon sessions end at around 21.00. The pitch is divided into 4 mini-pitches and each game is 15 minutes. Each team emerges from the players tunnel with their name being announced over the tannoy. All teams play at least 5 games so get 75 minutes on the pitch. They also get a tour of the dressing rooms and other facilities. The whole ground is open to parents etc and you can wander around the perimeter. Food and drink was available in the Northam concourse. It was all very well organised with games on all 4 pitches starting at exactly the same time (using a clock on the big screens) and then a 5-minute break for the changeover to the next game. Although it was all qualified referees, it was interesting to see the different styles. Some just let them get on with it and only blew for obvious fouls, but others were blowing for the tiniest of infractions. He loved it and can't wait to go back next year ( he also had his picture taken with Frannie Benali). https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/the-southampton-cup-is-back-for-2025

I appreciate that most Reform votes come from the lower end of the educational scale, but you would hope that their supporters would have a basic understanding of the English language.

This was posted by a newly-elected Reform councillor in Staffordshire. I'm surprised that his mum lets him out on his own.

I see that Reform have announced that they are going to remove all of the Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in the local authorities that they control. You would have thought that they would have known that none of those local authorities have any LTN's.

Indeed, Versailles is the 3rd most visited attraction in the world. The top UK site is the Tower of London down in 28th place.

With Richard "Trigger" Dryden as his assistant.

Is it true that the English Language test is being extended to Reform voters?

£19.30 per game. I can live with that.

The Unions also discriminated against religion (at least in Scotland). A company I worked for had a chemical plant in Grangemouth. An ex-Works Manager told that, if he tried to hire a Catholic, he'd have the Shop Stewards in his office "requesting" that he changed his mind.

There were no issues with the Mayflower. it was the Speedwell that needed repairs. That was the only reason they went into Dartmouth. The Speedwell had further problems abut 200 miles into the voyage and both ships had to return to Plymouth where the Speedwell's passengers transferred to the Mayflower that continued the voyage alone.

Cracking game. Both teams pouring forward.

3.5 million at the last election giving them 72 MPs.

Considering that in 1970 fatalities were around 7500, it shows how much safer roads and vehicles have become. Also a lot more traffic now, around 33 million vehicles compared with around 22 million 30 years ago.

My grandson's school was recently visited by Bikeability and they were shown basic riding skills and given instruction on road safety etc.

What are we supposed to be celebrating? It seems to be generally accepted that he was a Roman soldier of Greek descent. He never came here and it seemed to be due to Edward III selecting him as the patron saint of the Order of the Garter that he became nationally known.

The Education Secretary hasn't quite grasped what AI stands for.... https://www.google.com/search?q=mcmahon+a1&rlz=1C1FKPE_enGB1149GB1149&oq=mcmahon+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBggBEAAYAzIHCAAQABiPAjIGCAEQABgDMgcIAhAAGIAEMhAIAxAuGK8BGMcBGIAEGI4FMg0IBBAuGK8BGMcBGIAEMgcIBRAuGIAEMgcIBhAAGIAEMgcIBxAAGIAEMgcICBAAGIAEMgcICRAAGIAE0gEJODE4MGowajE1qAIIsAIB8QVxkg38UwlI6Q&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:0055edd1,vid:xsRUk0dMJu4,st:0

As long as the price doesn't go up, I'll be renewing. My 10-year old grandson will also be getting his first season ticket (does that count as child abuse)? I read this article which says that the big clubs are looking to reduce the number of season ticket holders in favour of "tourists". Apparently, season ticket holders tend to turn up and watch the game without spending much, whereas the tourists buy the over-priced stuff in the club shops. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/apr/11/a-parasitical-business-model-football-ticket-resellers-squeeze-out-loyal-supporters?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Isn't it glued on?

Tall Paul in goal.

Just read a an opinion that Donald has imposed his tariffs knowing that the stock markets would plummet. His rich mates buy up a load of cheap shares, Donald then has a change of heart, removes or reduces tariffs and the markets come back up and his mates get even richer.
