    [Misc] Electric Cars

    It's charging cycle has already finished by that time as it set to charge when electricity is at it's cheapest. It takes about 5 minutes to go from freezing to warm and windows clear though so wouldn't use much battery. Also because of it's range and our use we only charge it once a week, we...

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    I love the fact you can set an electric car to warm up and clear the windows via an app. Makes the morning commute a dream

    [Other Sport] Snooker…. “Golden Ball”

    I think if you're going to play with the sport to create wider interest you could potentially play tournaments on English pool tables but it would be a different sport altogether. It's a lot of fun but a half decent player can clear the table in one visit.

    [Other Sport] Snooker…. “Golden Ball”

    The most ridiculous suggestion. It doesn't need to be mucked around with, it's the ultimate challenge in the sport and the fact it happens relatively infrequently (less than 200 times in tournament snooker) means it always creates so much much excitement.

    [Misc] Used Car - low budget - help please

    Others will probably be better placed to offer advice but I'd recommend buying a model of car that has been produced in the highest quantity because their parts tend to be cheaper and more readily available. An early mk7 2015 1.4 Astra should be in your price range, reliable and relatively cheap...

    [Albion] Valentín Barco **Season Loan To Sevilla 23/08/24**

    I just saw him complain to the waitress about his overcooked baked beans at little chef, I almost spat my gammon steak out.

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    First winter of driving electric, I didn't quite realise the impact to range in cold weather. The school run usually uses 2-3% of battery, in minus temp it's around 10%! It's a 14 mile round trip!

    [Albion] Evan Ferguson

    Evan is arguably our biggest asset and it would be sad to see him go but I think it would have little impact on our progress particularly if we can invest in another striker. He could definitely become a 150 million player but I'd say there ia a good chance his value might plummet.

    I think its 178 million vs our 174 million as far as a can find on google.

    Sophie Ellis-Bextor or Charlotte Church?

    She would be thrilled to hear that I would. If you're reading Charlotte, feel free to reach out.

    [Help] Gardeners Question Time.

    I have a similar issue with some of my Hydrangeas. I have 4 Serrata Bluebirds that have all got buds that are leafing out already!

    Wasn't knocking what they're achieving but their financial situation must be somewhat precarious!

    What's Aston Villa's financial position in terms FFP? It astonishes me that our turnover is similar, if not higher yet they are able to spend double what we do in wages?

    Sophie Ellis-Bextor or Charlotte Church?

    I saw Charlotte Church at Camden market about 10 or 15 years ago, not quite being mobbed but signing autographs for people. I would have put her down as distinctly average but in the flesh she was very attractive.

    [Albion] Who was our most promising youngster ever, pre-Amex era?

    Tommy Elphick always seemed to have a big future, I was convinced he'd go on to play regularly at the top level. Had a decent career but never quite hit the level I expected him to.

    [Football] The ticking Profit and Sustainability (FFP) timebomb...

    Yeah I agree it's disgusting but part of me thinks if an owner can prove it comes from a 'clean' source and isn't a debt saddled on the club they should be able to bring cash to a club. If it was done above board with regulation and was in the spirit of competition then I think it would be...

    [Football] The ticking Profit and Sustainability (FFP) timebomb...

    Bloom has set up a sustainable model for us which we can be proud of but part of me thinks that FFP only serves to keep the traditional 'big clubs' at the top of the pile. I feel comfortable with our approach and am eternally grateful for what Tony has done and is doing for us but part of me...

    [Albion] europa league tickets

    For some reason I thought it would be full of comps and JCL's but there was a great bunch of fans and a decent atmosphere. I've never been served so fast or had such a relaxed prostate.... I celebrated by drinking and peeing twice as much as usual ;-)

    [Football] Palace owners to sell?

    As much as Parish seems like the kind of person who'd sell you a dodgy car I think I'd rather have him representing clubs like ours when voting on PL matters than someone who has zero knowledge of English football or interest in clubs outside the perceived big 6. We need more Parish's with...
