If you're going to Spain anyway you can just buy from the ground itself as they have kiosks open prior to the game to sell matchday tickets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzavfc Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Does anyone here have the chase credit card? The one with 1% cashback on 'everything'. Just wondering if it's worth getting to save a few quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if it's worth getting to save a few quid its a bank account not a credit card. yes it's worth getting. good app and the 1% cashback is great. only valid for a year though and there are some exceptions (transfers, betting etc) but most things are included. also has a round up account where if you buy something for £1.90 for example it will put the odd 10p into this account at 5% interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without any exaggeration this is the finest wooden shipwreck I have ever seen - by far," said marine archaeologist Mensun Bound there's got to be some kind of nominative determinism involved with that. Nominative Determinism would have been an even better name - if he'd found it that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Giant hogweed. It does this. The sap makes skin sensitive to sunlight. You just burn. The effect can last a good while, occasionally years. It grows in the UK, matches the local flora and likes river banks. WTF? Bit rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been reported to the EA but the best they can muster is a haphazard spraying which kills some, but not all, of it. It grows back each year. It’s horrible stuff, I’m glad I know what to watch out for, I bet plenty touch it and end up in a lot of pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Going to settle into Off Topic for a bit. Getting very, very tired of dismissive, hyperbolic, knee jerk, childish, condescending and keyboard-angry posts on the Villa Talk forum. Sure I’m probably guilty of some myself but that forum sure doesn’t bring be joy anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuff is also a bastard to human skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The social media and internet revolution. Just to name a few. maybe it was just my school but i would class that as culture and cultural history wasn't taught, not even for context BLM too, i cant breathe was 2014, the florida security guard shooting, ferguson, theres been plenty before the floyd riots - but again say for example when they skimmed over vietnam and the cuban missile crisis and the cold war they never touched on the civil rights movement was thinking about it the other day and whether or not at some point history at school will move away from events and towards things that shape the world the kids actually live in, like the civil rights movement, like windrush, brexit and the original creation of the EU, israel and palestine, 9/11 do you teach them the industrial revolution or do you teach them why there are security scanners at airports? keep a wide impact or narrow it down in to specifics which they will relate to more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
