I suppose you aren't the only one to forget that human beings live on the Falkland Islands as well.

Only the politicians. The normal people are OK, by and large. ;)

Yes, well as I have said before, the Liberal party had no presence; at that time the Conservative party were seen as the anti-Christ; and the Labour party had voted in favour of a policy that hanging around inside the toilets with your old man hanging out, in a public park during school...

No idea. Persuading people to take a significant drop in lifestyle for the sake of general but unspecific future benefits is usually impossible. The Just Stop Oil people, apart from the extreme but rational fringes who live in woodland communes with very little power usage, are only playing...

What proportion of bad apples is enough to damn the whole town and all its people? How many bad apples does it take before "you come from Burnley and therefore you are a knuckle-dragging racist" ceases to be prejudice and becomes a fair and reasonable point of view?

The point at issue was that a 2015 Nissan Leaf is a cheaper and valid alternative to a petrol car. That's all. Few people would buy a 2015 Leaf ahead of a petrol car if they are going to make a long drive every month. And your last line is the issue. How are you going to convince people that...

Yes, that is a real problem. At present, the people who are willing to take one less foreign holiday and give up petrol cars, are the people who have two foreign holidays a year and have the money to pay for an electric car. It is going to be a problem to get the people who have only one...

Yes, that's what I thought it would be. So perhaps it's just as well that no Brighton fan has ever misbehaved or else I would have grounds for assuming that all Brighton fans are the same. A google search finds several instances of Brighton fans arrested for racist and homophobic behaviour. I...

Electric cars have their uses and benefits, but trying to argue that a Leaf can match a petrol car for long journeys just gives ammunition to your opponents. Remember that this is the 24kw Leaf, not the modern version, and 70mph driving costs a third of the range so your suggestion would have...

Certaily for people who never, under any circumstances, would want to travel over 100 miles, the Civic's advantage of range disappears. That's why I said the Civic is more practical for most users. And yes, a Leaf is cheaper than a Civic, marginally. Just as a match ticket for Whitehawk FC is...

Often enough to want a car that will do it. (I bet these Leafs don't do 124 miles in winter, with the lights and heater and wipers on.)

To be fair, the 2015 Nissan Leaf has a claimed range of 124 miles when new. The Honda Civic is a far better (ie. more practical) car for most users.

I believe they want to stop renewals of licences for existing fields as well. Though they are a bit vague so I can't be certain if that's true.

A bit disappointing that in a post supposedly opposed to bigotry, there are 10 people like a post which is as bigoted as the one it replies to. I couldn't speak for the forums at Leeds, Millwall, or Chelsea, but what (apart from ignorance and prejudice) have you got against the Burnley forum...

I'm not aware of any rule that says we can't. It virtually never happens, because the league has a system whereby all clubs can request another club that they won't clash with, and if both clubs request not to clash with each other, like Liverpool-Everton or Burnley-Blackburn, then their league...

I suspect they would prefer to wait until after the transfer window closes. If we have to play 4 home games without our full squad, it could be a significant disadvantage. Mind you, a newly promoted side isn't where you want to play on their first home game. They'll be well up for it. As for...

Because Burnley don't want to play 4 home games and 0 away while the transfer window is open.

Does this matter? I can understand a bit of upset about a queue if someone gets a better seat because of it, but if you expected to get to your seat K40 before the man in E17 gets to his, and it turns out that he gets there first, does it matter? If they call my group and there is a scrum, I...

I flew to America via Dublin last month, and security at Leeds took 9 minutes from joining the queue to fastening my shoelaces afterwards. It's a million miles better than Manchester. As for Heathrow, I went through security twice (once at terminal 3, once at terminal 5) when misreading the...

There is something in the paper If the gents at Turf Moor was replaced with separate cubicles with hand basins, it would slow things down more than a little. They would need a whole lot more space to install the extra facilities they would need. I suspect the Amex could have similar problems?
