    [Technology] Hiked price for RING Doorbell plan

    We have 8 ring cameras as our area is a hot spot of crime, pretty annoyed about the increase but I am happy with the service and reliability. I like the fact I can give my neighbours access to the outdoor camera too which doesn't seem possible with the alternatives

    [Film] Most underrated movie

    I really enjoy a good year, partly because of my love of provence but Rafe Spall's performance is really poor IMO. One blemish on an otherwise great film

    [Film] Most underrated movie

    Children of men. A stunning film that never had the commercial success it deserved. Donnie Darko. After its DVD release it became much more popular but was quite poorly received initially. The constant Gardner. Has climbed up the ratings in later years but was very much underrated on release...

    [Albion] Ibrahim Osman **Loaned To Feyenoord 15/08/24**

    Does sound like quite a lot but he must meet our criteria when we evaluate a player's potential. I thought Pedro looked to be massively overpriced given his record at Watford but 30 million looks like daylight robbery now, I suspect he's more than doubled in value with the season he's had so far.

    [Food] Chocolate bars in WSL

    "We are always preparing for when our key assets move on. When we lost the twin pack Mars bar we had already identified the plant based kit kat as the perfect replacement and so far we've been incredibly happy with the impact its made. Succession planning is key to our business model and I'm...

    [Food] Chocolate bars in WSL

    For the price they charge I'd expect to be fed it like Cleopatra and have my dribbly chocolate chin mopped up with a silk handkerchief.

    [Misc] King Charles has cancer

    I'm very sorry to hear about your sister, can't begin to imagine what it's like to lose a sibling to such a terrible disease. There's alot of debate in this thread about the quality of care in this country and how that might impact survival rates, I don't doubt there's scope for improvements...

    [Misc] King Charles has cancer

    I think there's quite a difference between treatable and curable though. My Dad's cancer was found early when he was being tested for prostate issues but he had bile duct cancer which in almost all cases is fatal. Treatment can improve quality of life and give you more time but its one of many...

    [Humour] Weird And Wonderful Stuff Bought A Car Boot Sale

    As a teenager I used to buy art deco style lighters and never paid more than a couple of quid. I sold the whole collection when I was a skint 20 year old for around £300, probably more than £250 profit.

    [Albion] Do you want Palace to go down?

    I think part of me wants them in the same division but I also feel it's a bit unfair that in their periods of decline and financial mis-management they never dropped down the leagues. Almost all similar sized teams have dropped and had to rebuild but somehow they've not been in the third tier...

    [Football] On Hodgson and Olise

    How long is Eze out for? They are both top players and stand out performers in an otherwise below average team. If they are both out for a while I can genuinely see them relegated this year!

    [Albion] Europa and FA cup finals 3 days apart

    I feel this is a bit like worrying whether Margot Robbie will like my bed sheets.

    [Misc] Bully XL’s

    I cant see how it's feasible to euthanise up to 100k dogs, I'm not saying that it's not a sensible approach but I dont see it as being logistically possible. If the current law is enforced numbers will plummet to zero over the next decade or so but that is dependent on the police being strong...

    [Misc] Bully XL’s

    We met a couple and their XL in the park recently, their dog was muzzled, well socialised and under complete control. I'd definitely question their decision to buy the dog but you couldn't describe them as being simple and they didn't match the stereotype you'd imagine. Don't get me wrong, I...

    I think 35k have been registered so it seems like there lots that aren't registered

    [Misc] Bully XL’s

    I think the new measures are sensible, it's not feasible to euthanize 50k to 100k dogs and many will be in the hands of decent owners. I just dont have any faith the police will be tough on anyone who flouts the rules, there's lots around here that are walked without muzzles, probably not...

    [News] Jonnie Irwin RIP

    He came along with his wife to a pre opening evening at a pub I managed at about 10 years ago. We had invited lots of middle aged couples for complimentary meals and I don't think he was quite prepared for how many of the wives were desperate to chat and have photos taken with him, his wife...

    [Albion] Why has RDZ not signed a new contract yet?

    I'm not sure RDZ has ever come across as particularly enthusiastic in interviews it's just his general demeanour I don't doubt he's frustrated but I'm sure the club would have been open about their stance in the January window and reassured him he'd be backed in the summer. We have always...

    [Albion] Palace game are you shitting yourself?

    I am worried, Palace have a very average team but a couple of inpsct players who could do a job at a top club. We'll need to be top of our game to get anything I feel
