    [Albion] League Cup Round 3 draw [Wolves at home] and ticketing

    Are there loyalty points for Wolves? I didn’t see any reference to LPs, unlike Crawley. I’m going anyway but would be nice to collect a few more points.

    [TV] What's good to watch on BBC iPlayer ?

    I didn’t watch but it was absolutely crucified in the Guardian today. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/sep/15/nightsleeper-review-fantastically-dreadful

    [Albion] Any chance ALL the singers move to the South stand next season?

    Whatever happens, it needs a concerted effort from the club to help find the best solution here. It needs surveys, communications, meetings followed by a full-on effort to seat the singers together. Up until now, I don’t remember any communication on this eg when the season ticket renewals/...

    [Albion] Team for Wolves - 18.09.24 League Cup

    I hope we put out a strong side. OK, give Dunk and Veltman and Welbeck a rest. I’d like to see Ferdi and Ferguson play from the start along with most of the first team regulars. I want Albion have a real go at the 2 cups. I think we have the squad depth to do so without exposing ourselves too much.

    [Albion] Any chance ALL the singers move to the South stand next season?

    So is it now official that the away fans are being moved to E/SE? As someone who loves being in the East Stand Upper towards the South (apparently the worst place to watch the match according to one poster - ha ha!!), I would quite like to know where I’m being moved to. I don’t want to be behind...

    [Misc] What Book are you Currently Reading?

    David Mitchell's 'Unruly'. Do audiobooks count? If so, I’d heartily recommend the above. Mitchell (the comedian) is a History graduate and knows what he’s talking about. In this case, the kings and queens of England from the year dot to Elizabeth I. It’s extremely funny, as in laugh-out-loud...

    [Help] Starter jobs in IT

    Is that really true? I’ve certainly heard the same joke told about Media Studies. And I saw more than university toilet that had a scrawled note above the loo roll holder: ‘Sociology degrees. Please take one.’ But I thought Computer Science was a great option for people looking for a gateway...

    [Help] Starter jobs in IT

    I can’t offer any information on actual companies or routes to take but it’s important to be more specific about which branch of IT we’re talking about here. It’s a bit like saying "I want a job in business", it can mean multiple things. IT could be anything from security and...

    [Music] Jane’s Addiction new album and tour

    If that isn’t a staged contretemps for social media distribution then I’m a Chinaman (as we used to say). Result? The clip and the publicity for the band is now not just all across social media today but even features in the Daily Telegraph, Guardian, and the rest. Superb piece of marketing in...

    [Politics] Would YOU be happy to pay more income tax so OAPs could keep their fuel payments?

    No they are not laughing at us, according to that BBC report you linked to. Those pensioners are saying precisely what I’m saying — that for many pensioners, the annual £250 was just a bonus that we don’t need, and that just gets channeled into general income. Better that it goes to those who...

    [Politics] Would YOU be happy to pay more income tax so OAPs could keep their fuel payments?

    No I’m NOT missing the point. I’m directly answering the question posed in the poll FFS. Maybe the thread has veered off into a general moan about tax evasion (I’ve not read it all) but that isn’t what the OP was canvassing opinion on. So wind your whiney neck in. While I’m at it, be careful...

    [Politics] Would YOU be happy to pay more income tax so OAPs could keep their fuel payments?

    Honestly, I know no pensioners who have that attitude. I know a lot of oldies through local clubs etc and there’s a general feeling that it’s a ‘nice to have’ but not a ‘must have’ for most of us. I haven’t heard anyone grumbling about not having a holiday bonus— I’m afraid that sounds like a...

    [Politics] Would YOU be happy to pay more income tax so OAPs could keep their fuel payments?

    As far as I’m aware, no one has suggested raising income tax to restore the WFA. The main suggestion has been to find a way to withdraw the WFA from the wealthiest pensioners (like me) while continuing it for the rest, including the millions who aren’t well off but aren’t poor enough to claim a...

    [Albion] Hürzeler's pre-Ipswich presser

    Are we talking Gruda? My reliable German BVB mate described him as a great acquisition but “one for the future”.

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    It's true, she is a little bit aloof and doesn't have the folksy instant likeableness of Obama or a younger Biden. But... (big but) she aint Trump, and that's enough for me. I'm team Kamala!

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    Too simplistic. There are actually millions of Americans who prefer Trump’s nationalistic bluster and who share his paranoias about cat-scoffing immigrants and the ‘communists’ who believe in publicly available healthcare. Yes there are plenty of people with racist/sexist leanings just as there...

    If you like legal thrillers I’d recommend Michael Connolly’s Lincoln Lawyer series.
