Nope - tech, science, culture, and latest gadgets. Really excellent.

Caviar House, T5 LHR - expensive shite. Avoid like the plague. Fortnum & Mason cafe, T5 LHR - pretty expensive, but the food was reasonable. Flat Iron, N1. A good 200g steak and chips, perfectly cooked - £16. Not the best steak I’ve ever eaten by some distance, but quite probably the best in...

It’s quite hard to see eagles, dolphins, pine martens, wild red deer, catch mackerel for your dinner, and see much in the way of Bronze Age archaeology in Herts, so I thought I’d go to NW Scotland and the Hebrides for a few days.

Private Eye, The Economist, FT, New Scientist, Wired, Nature, Decanter, and, for browsing stories that I will later research using other sources, the BBC website.

I wear one occasionally. Got a few; inherited 3, bought 3, got given 2 as presents. Treated myself to a UN GMT +/- perpetual as a bit of retail therapy after a particularly intense period at work.

I got taken round a bitcoin mining container yesterday. 12 racks each containing 18 servers produces 0.2 bitcoin/day; 3-4 months to break even for the cost of the container kitted out (if today’s exchange rate remained the same).

I think we have just eliminated one poster from being TB…

At least my mother only applauds our goals now. The first game I took her too was Boro at home. She clapped their goal. She was surprised at the vehemence of my reaction, and has never done it since.

Yeah, I wondered that too. I think that, on balance, TB would want to keep the faith with his manager (see Sami), but the desire to get promoted would trump loyalty. Thus, he would think “Is GP the best man to get us promoted?”, and I suspect he’d conclude ‘no’. Hence my observation - but it’s...

Perma-ban for disclosing in a PM complaining about having received thread bans for trolling that he’s not even an Albion fan and that he hopes that ‘they’ will be relegated to the third division ‘where they belong’. Trolling = bad from Albion fans; totally unacceptable from non-Albion fans.

I’ve gone for he’ll still be here, after some thought. I don’t think he’ll be poached, and I don’t think he’ll be sacked - unless we go down, which - while not impossible - is unlikely.

They tried this before in, I think, the 70s. It lasted a few years until ‘Congress changed its mind’…

Thread ban issued. You got banned from another Covid thread for trolling. You’ve now been banned from this thread for the same reason. Please cease and desist.
