Ouch. I thought it'd be close enough to here. That said, we have a max octane of 91 which is about $2/l (~£1.22). Regular, 87 octane, is $1.65/l right now (~£1) - this time 2 years ago it was 72c/l (~44p)

How much is a litre of unleaded in the uk these days?
-
Literally might as well not exist. Make it 12 seconds, and strictly enforce it
-
I've used the "spectacle" thing twice and gotten away with it (Kraftwerk and Rammstein), not sure it'll work again unfortunately

Playing my neck of the woods this summer. Struggling to convince the missus though... not really her thing
-
To add to those numbers, there are an average of 108 stoppages per game (throws, frees, goal kicks, corners, subs, and kick offs) So, if I was creating this 60 minute game regulation, I would probably have something like the clock continues for 10 seconds after the ball goes dead, then stops until play resumes. Given that 10 seconds is probably a reasonable time for a ball to get back into play after it goes out for a throw, for example. That'd cut the length probably by a few minutes per game so instead of a 10 minute swing you might be looking at 6-7 on average

This season high: 65 mins This season low: 42 mins Villa average this season: 49 mins 23 secs

Murca being Murca, they were absolutely never going to go from a black guy to a woman. Sounds really stupid, and shouldn't be the case, but if the Dems had run a man instead of Hilary they'd have won
-
Average 55 mins of ball in play during the current setup. That takes 2 45 minute halves (plus an average of 3 mins added time per half) to get through, or 96 minutes. Assuming the play went the exact same way on average (in terms of ball in play versus ball out), we'd see games taking approximately 4 minutes longer in total

Apparently I tapped hide on that post my mistake. No spoilers there

Sportswash! - Let’s oil stare at Manchester City!

Is the plank suitable to hold all 6 of them at once? -
Somehow made a balls of my estimates for my tax this year and underestimated by five grand tears of a clown
-
Playing here very soon for a pittance - might go see them!
-
The missus wants to take up golf - might ease her in with a sim
-
Never played a sim. Loads of them around and always been curious, but for some reason I’ve never gotten round to it

Not enough nukes in existence to make the slightest dent
-
On the nukes thing, I doubt they’ve got enough launch ready ICBs to be able to take out everyone else’s launch sites, never mind actually do damage to populated areas. No good having 6000 warheads if you’ve only got enough launchers to get a fraction of them in the air before you’re blasted into oblivion
-
Fine line between "FFS, we're a laughing stock" and "I'll teach them for laughing at me" though
-
Have Control but didn’t get into it after playing an hour or so. Lots of good reports about it so might add it to the list again
-
This is a great point. If the refs did their job properly, even if it meant 55 min halves with time added on, there would be no need for this. as it stands, they can’t do it properly though simple solution is if time is being wasted while the ball is dead, and the ref deems it time wasting, don’t book the player, let him take as long as he wants, then add the stoppage plus 50% on at the end. That’d stop it pretty quick coz you’re basically giving the other team bonus time by time wasting

Liverpool will do the quadruple I fear
-
To the original 60 minute idea… the average football match has the ball in play for ~55 minutes. Stopping the clock when the ball isn’t in play would actually yield slightly more football per game, and halves would still last approximately the same amount of real-world time. There have been worse ideas put forward
-
In the interest of balance, we’ve got the worst keeper in the league for time wasting. I’ve seen Emi regularly hold onto the ball for 30-60 seconds, or take upwards of a minute on a goal kick. Bloody hate seeing it too, to be honest.
-
Yeah the way added time is handled is absolutely nonsensical. Minimum time to be added, 3 minutes. 2 substitutions and 3 45 second goal kicks later, the ref blows up at 93:05. Every bloody time. Let teams time waste, but add it all back on plus 50% *EDIT* Just to clarify, I'm not talking about legit, ball-in-play time wasting, that's part of the game and perfectly okay

I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if they sack him at the end of the season tbh
