    [Albion] The Official Potter In / Out thread

    This could so easily turn into a replay of the Hyppia debacle. I do hope that Tony got GP into the boardroom this afternoon and did a Priti Patel wih plenty of shouting and table banging. Because if I'd invested the kind of money that Tony has done I'd be doing just that, Nevertheless, GP is...

    [Misc] Random question - do you warm you car engine up

    What's the issue with emgine braking? Round here there's plenty of hills, many with 'engage low gear' signs. I've always believed that it saved brake wear...

    [Football] Over my head - in Oz?

    Listening to the cricket show on Five Live this evening they were talking about Cricket Australia finding a new sponsorship idea – armpit badges for umpires. The idea is, apparently, that every time the umpire raises his (or her) arms to signal a six the advertisement would be displayed...

    In Britain at least I have noticed that those who take this view are first to call for help from the police when things go wrong for them.

    [Albion] Amex Light Pollution.

    Back in January there was a flury of complaints about the grass growing lights at The Amex. Lucky all those who signed their petition aren't in Sweden, where - according to Mail OnLine - a tomato farm is doing it's bit for light pollution as well. See...

    [Finance] Foreign Aid

    'Take the money away'? It wasn't theirs in the first place, it belongs to the British taxpayer. And if we're going to give overseas aid then it surely doesn't need to go to China or India,both of which now own huge chunks of British industry.

    [Politics] Priti Patel bullies staff and gets away scot free

    Apart from Jack Higgins' novels, I've never heard of a 'private government site' - presumably a crematorium. Do they really exist?

    [Travel] Not even Stonehenge is safe from the powerful car.

    Will this tunnel affect the 'ley lines' running through to Chanctonbury Ring? Who knows what's down there under Stonehenge? Older members may remember the Quatermass episode with the buried alien spacecraft blocking construction of a new tube tunnel. (My mum wouldn't let me watch but I did...
