  1. I have mixed feelings on this because like most things this government touch it’ll lead to widespread suffering no doubt I know family members that absolutely take the piss with sick leave. My mother in law will regularly take several weeks off because she feels like a break. The GP’s just can’t be arsed to challenge it (and she knows it). She has a colleague/friend who is equally piss taking. Shes currently on a 7 week break which started because they asked her to do something she doesn’t usually do when someone else was on holiday. She’ll take the first week (self certifying), then book appointment with GP and complain of stress. GP issues 2 week sick-note and before she leaves she’ll make another appointment for the day it expires to get it renewed. I’d estimate she has a sickness rate of about 20-25% as she just plays the system when she wants a few weeks off. Theres definitely room in the current process to get work shy people back to work and not clog up GP diaries, I doubt this government know how to do it safely though.

    Formula One - 2024

    I’ve only read the brief BBC report but there’s some bizarre times in that session. Lando pole by 1.2 seconds, over Hamilton. Max fourth. Sounds mental. If this is what happens when it rains then we need to have that cloud seeding technology at all future races.
  3. What I often ask myself, are they words removed and so get attracted to the Tory party or are they initially quite normal but then turn into words removed after being in the Tory party for a period of time?

    Liverpool

    A couple of months back the Liverpool players were gonna win the lot because of Klopp as an amazing send off. Now apparently the same group of players are under lots of stress and pressure because of Klopp leaving. Basically just making stories fit the performances.

    Sounds ace. It feels like ages since we had a holiday. I should look into a UK caravan break, my kids love them.
  6. I thought the opposite tbh, I thought they gave Lille far too much respect. Stood off them the whole game and let them play. Barely committed anything going forward. It was like we were playing Real Madrid away.
  7. I guess we’ll have to see what the ref puts in his report. It would be mad to wave the card like that and not mean it. He might have been saying “no more or you’re off”.
  8. Yes, I thought that too, he’s reassuring Dougie that this is his first yellow as the other doesn’t count.
  9. That ref won’t be getting any high profile games any time soon
  10. He ran across the penalty area with the card in the air
  11. He had wound them up before the game even started
  12. Crazy, not sure how we won that BUT I’LL TAKE IT!!!!
  13. They’re a decent side but I think we’re giving them far too much respect.
  14. Decent deal here if available in your area HotUKDeals
  15. Do you have an o2 phone contract in the house? If so if you join virgin media they will increase your download speed to the next tier for free (and double the data you have on the o2 contract). I think it goes 125mb, 250mb, 350mb, 500mb, 1gb.

    U.S. Politics

    = give their money to their own economy. It’s crazy how much politics got in the way of this.
  17. Oops, someone needs to turn their sarcasm detector on
  18. They don’t even need to exist, just suspicious they might have some should be enough.
