    [Albion] Spurs forum ahead of Saturday

    Quite. They're 4th in the league FFS, and that's how they feel? It's not as though they ever win anything either...:ROFLMAO:

    Not knowing that much about darts, I’ll nevertheless plump for 23.

    [Albion] STH Guest tickets - help out deserving NSC friends

    I’m happy to use my mother’s ST to buy a couple of guest tix for long-standing NSCers. Unfortunately, she’s in STP3, which opens at 9am tomorrow. If there are any tix left immediately before that window opens, PM me, and I’ll buy them for you. I’d do the same with my own ST this morning, but...

    [Albion] Whatever...

    Currently, it’s a once in a 4 generation thing… Unique, and unbelievable.

    [Albion] Will 2024 season tickets be on sale to MyAlbion+ members first?

    Somebody has to subsidise the cost of my brother’s mate’s ST. Thanks.

    :) The ‘54 law certainly is: any flying saucers passing thru CNdP will be detained as they are persona non grata. I don’t know which CA wine celebrates it, but I’d be pretty certain it must be Bonny Doon’s Le Cigare Volant.

    [Technology] Elon Musk and Twitter

    I’ve got a 3 LR (365 WLTP), and over a full year got 87.2% (318 actual range), doing largely motorway driving. I assumed that all manufacturers were equally ‘optimistic’. What you say calls that assumption into question.

    That’s a decent shout - thanks. I’ve arranged a test drive.

    [Albion] FA Cup Semi-Final v Man Utd - 4:30pm, Sunday 23rd April

    Fair enough. Really irritating for those affected, but fessing up to the error and offering a refund is probably a reasonable response. Good on you for holding onto the membership you've bought for your kid - hope they get to enjoy some games next season with it - and maybe even get to Wembley...

    Three things: The complete works of Shakespeare? WTF were you thinking?!! With the information you've provided, I doubt it would take very long to find the episode... ;) 16 on the GK round is pretty bloody good (y) Mine? Maybe... the wines of the Northern Rhone (or Bordeaux - this too is...

    Yep. Worked like a dream.

    [Albion] FA Cup Semi-Final v Man Utd - 4:30pm, Sunday 23rd April

    OK. That's bloody irritating for those affected. I assume they'll be refunding those they seem to have misrepresented what they were purchasing and don't want the new offer?

    [Technology] Elon Musk and Twitter

    This is also true! Maybe I'm being over-worried. Truth be told, there's another reason I'm not happy with my purchase: the CEO's a total knobber (imo). I don't much like knowingly funding knobbers.

    [Technology] Elon Musk and Twitter

    Yep, you're right. He does indeed have far less control of Tesla. Maybe he can't trash it. I do hope you're right, as I think I'll need him not to for at least another year, until other car manufacturers can deliver 350 mile range for around the same price as a Tesla 3 or Y. When that...

    [Technology] Elon Musk and Twitter

    The guy spent $44Bn on a respected tech company and seems intent on completely trashing the company. I don’t think it’s impossible that there will simply be no Twitter within a year. What’s he’s doing to Twitter is highly irrational, imo. If he’s capable of irrationally blowing $44Bn at...

    [Technology] Elon Musk and Twitter

    @Audax Thanks for the considered reply, and link to the very interesting article. Appreciated. While I accept your premise that Tesla is far more a clock problem than is Twitter, I retain some significant doubts about Musk’s decision-making at Twitter. There are individual decisions he’s made...

    [Technology] Elon Musk and Twitter

    I bought a Tesla because it was the first EV that had the range I needed to get to and from work comfortably on a single charge. I’m selling the Tesla because Elon Musk has demonstrated his ability to trash Twitter and I worry that he’ll trash Tesla too, leaving me with an expensive brick rather...

    [Food] When was the last time you had blancmange?

    It certainly is. As, I suspect, is pork dripping with its jelly on toast (with salt and pepper, of course). Which I had for lunch yesterday.
