  1. No. Old posts (wrongly) posted in the VP upgrade thread have been moved across to this thread, which was started just the other day, (thankfully) by @thabucks. But the thread shows posts in the order they were posted (wherever).
  2. Government portal https://www.planningportal.co.uk/permission/common-projects/outbuildings/planning-permission from the drop-down select your local authority and follow the steps it gives. If you’re Brum, then this is the result https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/info/20090/allotments/174/allotment_rules/7 There’s more info on the link than that extract, obviously Ah, bollex, that’s for allotments, but the process and website should help
  3. What VT? No such thing. Never was. Just your fever dream. Snap out of it! This post will self destruct in 10 seconds.
  4. They’ve got some neck celebrating that!
  5. With the election being on a Thursday, if it’s in term time, then many students will be unable to get to their home town to vote, so are better off voting where they go to uni, surely. At least they get to vote that way. Yes I know postal votes and proxy votes, but still. Obviously if the election is in half term, then the opposite applies, but they spend more time at the uni town than home town, don’t they?

    U.S. Politics

    It’s two things isn’t it. The second sentence, sure. The first one not necessarily why attempts are being made to remove him. He’s been charged with multiple felony counts. Not yet convicted (or found innocent) but there’s a strong argument that if convicted he should not be eligible to stand. Unfortunately the legal system is so slow with appeals and stuff, that his lawyers have managed to delay any likelihood of conviction until after the election date.
  7. That seems the most likely way they will write the new rules, I agree. I guess clubs will try and weedle some support staff off the costs, by giving them job title roles which are, what's the word?, ambiguous or obfuscating - it'll be hard to write a list of what is and isn't "Football role" - Manager - easy, yes. First team coach - ditto. But other coaches, say for the Under 21s or youth team - what if they do coaching of both the youth and first team, or the goalkeeper coach also works with the women once a week? or if the analyst also works on the women's games... some of the costs can be hidden/excluded, no doubt. Scouts - are they looking for youth team players (excluded) and then they "just happen" to have spotted an older player...Does the video analysis team also make the odd promo video for marketing and so the club might try and say "oh, him, he does our social media video editing...so doesn't count."

    Control

    The report, exactly. I mean what use is it to you, or me for mine? I think it has the appearance of value, "ooh, look, that's clever", but no actual value to us. It has value to google though, in 2 ways. It keeps "us" using their map service and other thingamibobs and so they get revenue from ads and data on how people behave and where they go and likely what they do. If you're half a step ahead of the man, he is still following you, and probably invading your personal space. He's a weirdo.

    Control

    Glue sniffing is addictive. Gonna need to re supply, yeah? How else you gonna have a night on the tiles? But it is something that bugs me, the way these internet thingies track our every move.
