    [Politics] Jack Dorsey - Twitter CEO. Likely subpoena to appear before congress next Friday.

    John Gable, the founder and CEO of Allsides, was a Republican activist. Do you think that may influence his organisation’s perspective of what constitutes the left/right leaning of the news outlets his company analyses? “ Gable was previously a Republican operative, working for three Senate...

    [Film] Joaquin Phoenix to play Napoleon

    Joaquin Phoenix to play Napoleon? I reckon 18-15.

    [Misc] Wild variation in building quotes

    Materials: pretty much the same Staff costs: unknown cost breakdown: there are 17 different items. There's no real pattern across those items. The cheapest overall was highest on one item; the most expensive, second cheapest on one.

    [Misc] Wild variation in building quotes

    I've had the same experience - where one contractor is way over the bunch. But this is different - there's no one outlier. Yep, they are all broadly analagous - decent-sized firms without massive overheads.

    [Misc] Wild variation in building quotes

    I've got four builders to give quotes against a 3-page written spec for some work on the new gaff. The spec given to them was identical. The quotes I've got are: £68k, £99k, £134k, £165k. Wow. Now I'm scratching my head - I have never had such wildly differing quotes and am a bit flummoxed...

    Paul Barber. Defo.

    [Football] Mesut Ozil's loyalty bonus

    Not much more to say really. Twice I’ve asked for less money than offered, s’all.

    [NSC] Guess the childhood footballer...

    Sorry - misread the thread title. Thought we were after 'child-like' footballers.

    [Albion] Refund information for season-ticket holders

    It's 8.6x our STH number. Could I ask how many non-Albion PPV games you think you'll watch at £15 a pop? Personally, I'll be watching none. All the 'big' games won't be PPV - it'll just be the less interesting games, such as Albion x2.

    Yes, that’s true enough.

    [Football] Premier League - Project Big Picture

    Won’t have done his chances of ever getting the Spurs CEO role much good...or any of the big 6 for that matter. Good to see him defending the Albion’s interests so strongly.

    [Technology] Telegrams

    I went through my Dad’s stuff after he died five years ago. I found a telegram he’d kept; sent by my mother to him when he was serving in Vietnam when I was 11. It read: “G1976 seriously ill. Don’t worry.” They next communicated five months later. It was a different world in the olden days.

    [Albion] Paul barber q&a matchday thread

    7) No, it's mustard actually 8) Complex 9) We're running a business 10) Cannot speak for the broadcasters or LCFC 11) We'll refund STH £14.95 x the number of home games shown on PPV on a month by month basis so you can choose whether you buy PPV or not without being out of pocket. [Yes, seriously]

    [Albion] £14.95 to watch Albion

    I’d have thought the fairest way out of this is if the club refunds STH £15 out of the balance they hold for every home game that’s on PPV. STH can then choose to buy the PPV or not, without being further out of pocket. Whether the club has the cash flow to allow this, I don’t know -...

    [Misc] Shìt that makes you feel old Volume I

    I do. I’m not surprised. Love you HT. I’ve started doing the old man grunt when getting up off the sofa. And I now have to shave my bloody ear holes. WTF.

    Sami Hyypia

    Yep. He’s got a 4 month contract as Asst Manager at FC Haka, who are currently sitting 10th out of 12 in the Finnish top tier with a GD of -17 after 18 games. He behaved very honourably in resigning his post with us, a fact that I appreciate. He was also a genuinely world-class player. He’s a...
