Another and much simpler option is for the ref to “stop the clock”, (the clock would restart when play commenced), instead of trying to estimate, (guess), how many minutes to add on at the end of each half. This would have a couple of advantages over the current system, the fans and the players...

If that really were the case then the name of the party that each candidate belonged to wouldn’t be on the ballot paper.

Taken the risk and am venturing to a higher altitude

I thought it was the ref who decided how much added time there was to play and just passed this to the 4th official.

The only team whose result is of importance for me is Brighton’s. Watching them I want them to score and celebrate with a genuine feeling of pleasure. When watching other teams play, live or on TV I can be far more unbiased and enjoy the skills on display. I regularly go to watch Crawley play...

I am doing it the other way around - I’m judging today by the actions of yesterday - it has been the change in attitude towards drink driving as much as legislation that has made drink driving less common and less acceptable than it was. In my opinion we need that same change to occur with...

Certainly was in the 60s - nobody batted an eyelid about going to a party, drinking 3 or 4 pints and then driving home. https://www.lookers.co.uk/news/drink-driving-campaign/

Of course that is why there are more - it is also a good reason to target speeding. Until speeding becomes socially unacceptable very little will change. It wasn’t enforcement that reduced the number of drink drivers, it was a seed change in how people viewed drink driving that has brought...

I agree but far more people speed than do any of the above.

That’s 53+ casualties a day where speed was a contributing factor - more than twice as many where drink was a contributing factor.

I’m sure that all the above contribute to accidents but it is irrefutable that the largest contributory factor in accidents causing injury or death recorded by the police is speed, (either speeding or speed inappropriate for the conditions). It seems though that it is socially acceptable to...

Totally agree - the same attitude should be applied to speeding in my opinion - far more injuries and deaths occur where speed is a factor compared to those where alcohol is a factor.

Passion and passionate

Got it just before Christmas - gave in with all the chemist remedies - hot whisky, honey and lemon helped clear the phlegm.

More likely it will get too big! We have a number that have been planted around the place over the last 40 years - The tallest is now about 80’.

Ours comes down this weekend - hole already dug in the garden to plant it.

You can buy third party insurance for all your pets. For example this costs us less than £25 a month for £3m of cover for 4 horses and a dog. Unlike pet health insurance, (in my opinion), this is worthwhile. The likelihood of receiving a third party claim are low but if one is received then...

Why would the French agree to that?

Discussions about restricting radio frequencies, jamming them, intercepting them etc. miss the point that once you get beyond the small hobbyist’s drones then many do not rely on any wireless signal at all - they fly either on a pre-programmed flight path or follow some object or person on the...

I assume that there is no way to benefit both NSC and AITC? If you sign in to amazon with the ‘smile’ prefix, (smile.amazon.co.uk), you can select AITC as your chosen charity.
