    22:09 at Preston Park today. Still ten seconds slower than PB, but I seem to be getting older, so my AG has squeaked up a fraction to 73.66%. Maybe someone could change it when the master table is next being updated?

    [Albion] Club will be writing to those who purchased a ticket for Bournemouth [but didn't go]

    I don't think I should be rewarded for not going to the game (none of this applies to me anyway, as I've attended all the away games that I've bought a ticket for). So if that's all that's being proposed, fine. In which case, why are they bothering to write to non attenders to the B'mouth cup...

    [Albion] Club will be writing to those who purchased a ticket for Bournemouth [but didn't go]

    But they won't actually have shared any information on you (because you weren't there). They will only have shared information on people who were there. So the knowledge of your not being there is actually based on an absence of data about you, rather than sharing data about you. It would be...

    [Albion] Club will be writing to those who purchased a ticket for Bournemouth [but didn't go]

    To be fair you (and the club) don't actually know whether they bought the tickets "with no intention of going". All you know is that for some reason (which as well as "having no intention" might include sickness, family problems, the belated realisation having been there four days earlier that...

    [Albion] Club will be writing to those who purchased a ticket for Bournemouth [but didn't go]

    Yes, but what if you buy a ticket with every intention to go, but then have good reason not to (change to work rota, sickness, etc etc)? In such cases it would clearly be outrageous for the club to penalise someone (and indeed in such cases, giving the ticket to another BHAFC fan would be an...

    [Albion] Club will be writing to those who purchased a ticket for Bournemouth [but didn't go]

    My guess is that this is intended to give a strong signal that the club don't want to see a situation like the Bournemouth cup match again (as many have argued that was likely to have been a bit of a one off anyway). In practice it will be pretty clear from the full away ends at Arsenal, West...

    [Albion] Club will be writing to those who purchased a ticket for Bournemouth [but didn't go]

    No - the new rules apply "with immediate effect" not retrospectively; so you can argue that your mate bought his ticket discovered he couldn't go and gave it to a mate, and that all happened before the new rules came in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Should the Daily Mail be closed down.

    Brian Bilston's poem perfectly captures my thoughts on the Daily Mail, but it certainly shouldn't be banned. https://brianbilston.com/2015/05/06/how-much-i-dislike-the-daily-mail/

    Brace yourselves over Stokes...

    No it's still there. And looking at it again, irrespective of the precise chronology of events, this is pretty damning, career ending stuff, IMO. What an idiot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    "Safeguarding" - I don't get it.

    A lot of abuse does happen within families, true. But it's also true that abuse can happen within institutions like schools, sports clubs and the like: anywhere where adults have free rein to be alone with large numbers of children is a potential risk (a small risk, perhaps, but one still worth...

    "Safeguarding" - I don't get it.

    Of course this situation puts lots of well meaning adults in a very difficult position. As a middle-aged bloke, if I see a small child fall over or hurt themselves in the street, or (as I have before) a small child who is clearly lost, I suppress my natural instinct to comfort or help the child...

    I was three minutes slower than you. Didn't push it - it was a bit hot, as you say, and I was worried about my recovering foot injury - but still an ok run for me (4th in 60-69 age group). Absolutely loved the event, great route (apart from that last hill at the end, which I wasn't expecting as...

    The Cleveland makeover

    Agree with this. Went there this evening. Beer was good - both Harveys and Dark Star, food was ok, and I quite like the new decor which feels fresh and clean. I definitely prefer it now to how it had become in recent years. As it's my nearest pub (apart from the Stanmer, which I can't bring...

    Good luck - hope you have a great day! It's such a good event - amazing finish at the Brandenburg Gate, after a final couple of Km down Unter den Linden.

    I suggest that your response is a shit, lazy one, based on incorrect ad hominem assumptions about my motives for posting, but which I couldn't pick apart line by line, even if I wanted to, because you can't be arsed to make an argument. But maybe that's what passes for debate in your sleepy...

    This is (in my view) a good article about why the TfL decision is a sensible one http://www.citymetric.com/transport/tfl-just-told-uber-it-wasn-t-fit-and-proper-company-provide-cabs-london-here-s-why-s-good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
