  1. I don't usually like to put things in here that are possibly received as "showing off" or "humble bragging", but my eldest son is on this years squad list for the Worcestershire Cricket Club under 10s and has his own stats pages and stuff set up. I know its not that popular on here, but he loves his cricket and has been down to Kings College in Malvern most Sundays (the 8am-10am slots are killing us!) for winter training. It's that exciting bit now before the season gets going and for him to be added to that page is such a nice little feeling. I've added all the fixtures to our calendar and we're counting down the days until his first match. Got to buy all the kit now (its not like football academies!) and become the second coming of Basil D'Oliveria (his grandson Ryan is a coach for my lad now)! Even if he doesn't become a pro (and it's extremely unlikely he will!), then I hope he looks back at this phase of his life and is as proud as I am.
  2. I'm which case, the league should award any team playing against city, 3 points. That should speed their legal teams up a bit.
  3. I quite like my job. Not sure how I'll feel after another 30 years of it. Previous jobs I was like "this is a complete waste of my life", now I actually quite look forward to it. Weird. Wouldn't have imagined that 10 years ago.
  4. I always think that about your posts in general. Time to leave the forum Stef x
  5. I bet everything smells shit to you.
  6. How much difference in kg/CO2 is there between a 2024 petrol range rover which does 5,000 miles a year or a 2006 VW Passat 2.0l which does 20,000 miles a year? Could the Passat owner work from home, but chooses not to? The last few pages on this are ridiculous without any numbers being shown. Why not stop a cruise liner leaving port? After all, a cruise ship's average journey is equivalent to 1 million cars on the road, and that's just to take people on a 2/3 week jolly. What about the 400 private jets landing locally to the NFL Superbowl? They emit around 45kgCO2 per mile. The average trip was 1,000 miles. A Google tells me a new range rover emits the equivalent of 3.72kgCO2 for every 10Km. Where do you stop the micro analysis of an average person? The person in a new range rover probably has a better insulated house and keeps their ASHP on for 2/3 hours a day, whereas someone on average income probably forgets to have their 20 year old boiler turned off and keep it at a nice 23C for the dog. It's all **** nonsense. It's the environmental equivalent of the Daily Mail. Stop looking at individuals who don't actually do that much harm and focus on the big shit.
  7. I've got 1.6 Kia Sportage. We had it because my wife suffers with back pain and we had two young kids to keep putting in the back in those rear facing baby seats. It was bad enough for me without back issues. I'm a proper tree hugger, but these people are **** morons. They have zero clue about the reasons people buy specific cars or equipment, **** off.
  8. At least I get invited in the first place!
  9. I'd like to go and see Brian Cox's tour, but at £55 a ticket (plus ticketmaster "extras") it doesn't seem worth it. Anyone else been? I can't imagine why its so expensive!
  10. Nice one on ruining an otherwise great thread.
  11. Devs have also said that "the battle pass" items will never leave the store or anything and everything can be unlocked as and when you save enough credits for it. You can also unlock the battle pass "premium" in about 1 day if you just go around the maps and collect the super credits you find at points of interest.
  12. Only a douche would do that.
  13. You'd all be absolutely woeful. And that would be hilarious. Therefore, I'm in. Imagine stevo "I've got to go to bed at 8.15". Villarule being unintentionally racist through his significant racism. Stefan trying to fly a car around, which doesn't exist in the game. AHH.
  14. If I was a young midfielder, and I'd been watching Mcginn, Youri, Douglas and Bouba from the bench, waiting for my opportunity to shine, I wouldn't be worried at all, I'd be **** buzzing to finally get a chance to do I've been training to do since a 5/6 year old. I'd be nervous, yea. But I'd be determined to show my worth. This is Tim's opportunity to show us what he's got. Honestly, I don't see loads in him, but the coaches do. Hopefully we won't be sitting here in 2/3 games wishing McGinn's red card had never happened, but we'd barely noticed his absence.
  15. I'm not talking about all the other bits, I'm talking about the bit where he's getting stuck for not trying, when he clearly did. I wanted him to be great, he hasn't been, so I'm not bothered if he stays or goes. I'm specifically talking about that one 5 second bit.
  16. If you watch the extended highlights, you'll see Zaniolo run from about 25 yards, after starting pressure Romero at CB. Also, LB's/RB's should be following the runs and midfield "pass" the runner on. Moreno steps up to tackle Porro instead of letting Zani go for Porro and him go for Kulseski or whatever he's called. By the time Zani "stops trying", the ball is 5 yards ahead of him. He shouldn't throw his arms, but he did his job, Moreno didn't do his. We play that way on the right too, the RB goes with the runners, the helping midfielder goes to the ball. This is just men wanting to tack blame on something to fix a problem that isn't there.
  17. Lenglet double hattrick. Emi Martinez with a wonderful solo goal. 7-0 The ghost of Hugo Loris to have a dump on Levy's head in the posh seats.
  18. As an energy manager, this annoys me.
  19. Musical tastes and political beliefs.
  20. Feels to me all fashion designers die well into their 90s/early 100s. I have absolutely no evidence, but just a gut feeling.
  21. Solo. Also, randoms come and go. Make some friends. Go buy it.
  22. This is the greatest game in the world, ever. Stop what you're doing and go and buy it.
  23. I'm not a car person, but as a kid I really wanted one of those because of the cool curved back window.
  24. I imagine the cucumber up your arse was pretty uncomfortable too.
