    [Help] Car PCP agreement help!

    Horrible when this sort of thing happens. I'd respond with: "the delivery driver inspected/looked over my old vehicle before taking it away and no observations of the damage you now report were observed or recorded. This would indicate that the damage occurred after the vehicle was taken away...

    [Cricket] The village / amateur 2024 CRICKET thread...

    Trek to the MCG (Mold Cricket Ground) for my Shropshire u14 boys for a warm-up game against North Wales. Hosts provided 3 umpires and 3 scorers #spledid. They won the toss and elected to bat on a very dry and decent looking track. We bowled them out for 182 without using our best seamer and...

    [Albion] Yukinari Sugawara

    The top six all have recognised specialist fullbacks of high quality. Not since Bruno have we done this. Yes, Veltman, Lamperty and even Gross can do an okay job filling in at r/b but if we want to fight for Europe next season we have to buy a proper right back

    [Drinking] Tip your barstaff!

    Totally Inapropriate Payment Source might be more apt? Anyway, surely only a fool tips BEFORE they have even experienced the service?

    Up here, Shrops Prem and Brum league play in coloured kit but with a white ball and black sight-screens. My county u14s play in coloured kit with a white ball but the u13s also play in coloured kit but with a pink ball. Personally, I find the pink ball the best for visibility but I'm not that...

    [News] Solar Storm Warning

    Its either the Chinese or the Russians fault If they say it's not them, then it MUST be the inevitable step up from Global Warming, we are now entering Universe Warming. Gonna need some more Gretas

    [Drinking] Tip your barstaff!

    I gave the barman at my local "spoons" a tip the other week. 2:40 at Newmarket Not sure if he shared it with his co-workers mind ....

    [Drinking] Tip your barstaff!

    Non-tipper here. My understanding of the purpose of tipping was to substitute take-home pay to low-paid staff like waiting / bar and hairdressers and the like. The government bought in legislation to stop exploitation of employees being paid derisory money - we call it minimum wage [and living...

    The silliest insult someone has given you?

    Going back half a century, one of my mates started calling his girlfriend a born-again virgin! We presumed this was because he was getting "no" to his advances but we all knew her last boyfriend was getting "yes". Well, that's what he told us ....

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Well, that's what happens when you dabble in the overseas market. I bet RDZ has similar translation issues with his Spanish, German, Japanese, Portuguese, English, etc. speaking players ....

    [Albion] Gross goal offside?

    You can't have that as it would mean our keeper is man-marked and so would totally destroy our fannying around at the back style of play.

    [News] Pedestrian jailed for manslaughter

    I'm trying to process this very sad chain of events and thinking what might have been the outcome if the roles were reversed. Say the pedestrian jumped out of the way of a cyclist, off the path, into the road and was then hit by a car? My understanding is that the appeal judges considered that...

    [TV] Clarkson's Farm 3

    Just having a short 2-day break in the Cotswolds [Broadway] with Mrs SS and realised Diddly Squat Farm was only 25 mins down the road. So we took a trundle over there this morning. CLOSED for filming ... Tut! Meh! etc.

    [Albion] Gross goal offside?

    Unfortunately, GPS would be less accurate than VAR lines. Currently the Galileo's positioning service, the High Accuracy Service (HAS) is now freely available to users around the globe. It targets a positioning accuracy better than 20 cm in the horizontal domain and 40 cm in the vertical...

    [Albion] Going to France. On the plane. WITH YOUR CAR.

    Some of the Brylcreem boys on here might share a comment about aircraft payload-masters. Adding the weight of a car [or 3] on to an aircraft could seriously affect the centre of balance, I would have thought. I'm sure they had it all worked out.

    [Music] What Is Your Main Source For Listening To Music At Home?

    Fair to say, and I'm probably in a minority with this, music does not play much of a part in my life. Most often it's the radio in the car. But could be talk radio [R4] rather than music anyway, so not listening to music. Second most often, the TV on the kitchen wall will be playing "Smooth"...
