    [Football] Dynamic Pricing

    I went to a couple of Fulham games about 15 years ago, Newcastle and Liverpool, and the prices varied hugely. Fat Sam was managing Newcastle and Rafa was managing Liverpool. Stupidly expensive too.

    Almost the exact opposite of you :wink:

    [Misc] Books you gave up on

    A pity. The book is brilliant. As is book 4 (Spider's web) I have 'The girl in the eagle's talons' throbbing to be read on my bookshelf as a type. But alas I have my singed copy of 'With a mind to kill' (Anthony Horowitz's continuation of the James Bond œuvre) to read first.

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    The Cultists (commonly abbreviated as ****s) are beyond reach. My understanding is they need to reach those voters who are not too bothered who becomes president and could vote for either candidate based on small margins, personal whim, or what they ate for breakfast on the day.

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    I still refuse to accept there is a July and August between June and the seventh month, September. f***ing Romans.

    Most famous person you have met, shook hands with and a chat

    You'd just used the toilet and didn't wash your hands? :ohmy:

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    I found it entertaining because it maps to all my prejudices. But as soon as I heard the '73' I thought 'not 72 or 74?'. Beware false precision ???

    Always happy to read @lasvegan even though we disagree about Trump

    Most famous person you have met, shook hands with and a chat

    Old thread so I probably posted this before: David Bowie. Brief exchange when he stood next to me in The Nashville when the original Human League were playing Peter Ward. Round @papajaff 's place 20 years ago John (Aden) Gillett. Worked behind the bar with him in Pav Tav 1979 after we had both...

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    I agree with all that. Of course. Yes, what I described was something that happened years ago, before you landed in NSC world. And yes, I am interested in diverse opinion. I was born a white working class male, and continue to pursue a monotone heterosexual, relatively low risk lifestyle...

    [Politics] Small boats, smashing the criminal gangs and the UK job market

    It was never tested because nobody was sent to Rwanda. It is legitimate to argue that since we don't know it isn't a deterrent we can't prove that it wouldn't be a deterrent. I agree. But that is not a good reason for bringing it in as a policy. We have confounds. The eye-watering cost. And...

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    Not directed at you whatsoever. I have read only bits of the thread :thumbsup: I put carlzeiss on ignore years ago for repeatedly posting links to brown people committing crimes, and related tropes, and then not engaging with any subsequent discussion, even claiming lack of knowledge about...

    [Politics] Small boats, smashing the criminal gangs and the UK job market

    Of course. There is always some poor sod willing to do more graft for less wedge. I have actually completely lost my narrative now. The thread was about the UK being attractive for those who want to work illegally. I guess I was thinking that the black money is probably better than in Spain...

    [Politics] Small boats, smashing the criminal gangs and the UK job market

    Any attention drawn to The Boats deflects from all sensible discussion about filling job vacancies, creating affordable housing, and ensuring the NHS works by ensuring it is properly staffed (the main reason for waiting lists). Every time illegal immigration is mentioned it is exactly the same...

    [Politics] Small boats, smashing the criminal gangs and the UK job market

    Would it be the case that the same people most opposed to immigration of any sort are those most opposed to ID cards?

    [Politics] Small boats, smashing the criminal gangs and the UK job market

    But I would imagine the pay is shit and there is a large and willing indigenous peasant population willing to engage with the black economy.

    [Politics] Small boats, smashing the criminal gangs and the UK job market

    Which of course triggers the response "It isn't about whether they are here legally or illegally. We simply don't want them here at all! Those.....FOREIGNERS!". And this of course is what it is all about. And this is why the Tories avoided any attempt to map the people wanting to come here to...
