It is not an insult! It is a result of people not taking advantage of the odds.

Bedtime here.

Man City at home? 14th May

Consider it done.

Whoever knocked up this claret and blue rendition of the Union Jack has never looked to see how the flag is designed.

We played 90 minutes of good football and had a god-awful 9 minutes. The universe is chaotic ...

A convenient place to look at the remaining fixtures.

Just had to get out of the reactions Brentford thread. There is so much nonsense there. Out of curiosity, who believes in cause and effect? I do. Though I accept it might not be true. But assuming cause and effect are true, that leads to some inescapable if not uncomfortable positions. For example, today's draw with Brentford was inevitable. And all the moaning we have on today's Brentford thread is also inevitable.

Could have been worse. Olsen was not the problem

Well ... I'm going downstairs to watch the game. I may be gone a while.

I doubt it ... the energy content of the air in your loft is about 0.5 kWh. ... assuming your loft volume is 100 m3 and there is a 20 C differential that is attainable. The unknown is at what rate does the loft heat up? Assuming it could heat up from 20 C to 40 C every day. Half a kilowatt hour is not going to cut it. Might make sense to have a fan and a heat exchanger to preheat the cold water going into the hot water tank. But the costs are probably not worth it. As to the original topic ... only makes sense if the delivery van is leaving the depot partially full.

I see, there is fog on the channel; Europe is cut off.

FIFY Do you live in a country where you get real snowfalls? I do and my Ford Focus, at times, just does not cut it.

That is true for aspects of the left too. Critical Theories for example.

Not in the US system.

While I agree with this ... I remain agnostic ... ie I don't have an ideology or doctrine regarding gods. Nah - people cause it - under the banner of religion Nah ... evil (and good) are social constructs ... literally, they are figments of our collective imagination. Also, I think you mean theistic disaster, rather than theological. Or perhaps religious disaster.

Tomorrow morning, I'll get up in a leisurely fashion around 8 am. And watch a recording of the game. During which, Mrs FV has promised to make breakfast. We 'spring forward' tonight so not going to sweat it. I will avoid VT before watching and if we don't get at least a draw, I am staying away until Monday. Enjoy the game.

How much of that £5 is tax, the actual cost of the drink, plus there will be sundries like filling and cleaning the delivery machine, extra insurance, etc. Extra security, extra janitorial requirements. I don't think the calculation is as simple as you make out.

I was thinking American Woman

It is Gretzky's "You miss a 100% of the shots you don't take."

Most days ... go over to my neighbour's garage around 4 pm and a few other neighbours get together for a happy hour. Believe it or not, boulangeries came up in the topic of conversation today.

Neat. The 11 bus route was the closest to where I lived and I routinely caught the 50 (and then hopped on to the 54) to get to school. Other local bus routes were 48/49 that went into town and the 2 and 27 routes that headed off in exotic (Stirchley) directions. Can't place the 1 route. The cream and blue livery was a classic.

I get that. To me, it seems a logical position. Yet you have described yourself as a Catholic. I am not understanding something here. Do you see my disquiet? Again this seems contradictory to me in some sense. You know something exists but you are not aware of its supposed properties. Being lazy is a strength.

Interesting. What is the purpose of thinking of yourself as a Catholic?

More or less agree, but I would not ' blame' it all on Paul. While this is likely true for you, it is at the heart of Catholicism and much of the rest of Christianity. It is a side story in Islam, not core other than that everything is true in the Quran. You seem to say it is not even true, never mind a core story? While the Gospels can be taken as a parable of how to lead one's life, fair enough. But I am sure there are more up-to-date books that require less creative interpretation that can inspire us. This leads us to the properties of the God that you 'know' exists and I presume occasionaly pray to.
