But why would / should they even do this? And what point are you trying to prove? Nobody suggests Emma Raducanu should play Camron Norrie or Andy Murray in an attempt to calibrate her position in the world rankings or justify her right to play tennis. She plays against other women. Just like...

It's possibly less about increasing uptake and perhaps more about targeted corporate hospitality opportunities to host existing card holders / business accounts, to strengthen the relationship and gain a larger share of their business over time.

But can she do it on a cold night in Stoke? ???

:lolol: To be fair, when he emailed him the time before it was to suggest the club build a sex basement under the stadium so at least this one was notionally about football.

Ha! Every season at least one club gets shafted with the ‘pub carpet’ template. 2022/23? Step forward Burnley!

Sitting out in the garden in 28c, which after the furnace-like 38+ of earlier today feels like bliss. I’m pretty isolated where I am and there is a near total silence and stillness. Bliss. Can’t even hear any combine harvesters running tonight and they’ve been going non-stop for about the past week.

Oi! That’s my MP you’re talking about there! :lolol: :facepalm:

Plus you get the sides where players take it in turns to get a ‘head injury’ on 15 mins, 30 mins, 60 mins and 75 mins so the rest of the team cam amble across to the touchline to get a drink as their sports scientist has established these are the optimal intervals for them to rehydrate in a match.

Boss: "Anyone seen Easy 10?" Co-worker: "Well, he went for a pint at lunchtime then came back and said he was slipping off home early for 6 inches in the back garden." Boss: "Oh. ok."

37c here (and climbing), 15 miles south of Cambridge

Yup. My son will be playing u12s this coming season and they will be using a size 4 ball (as they did last season at u11s). Like you say, heading is prohibited in training but in matches - on the very rare occasion it happens - is okay. I never see players at this age group willingly get their...

..AND mascots.

Doesn't your son have quite a few stripes? ??? In which case, he'll be doing this, obvs.... :lolol: :thumbsup:

…update from BBC Breakfast, who have now gone ‘Full Partridge.’ The main anchor, Mike, has just concluded a live link with Ben, who is reporting from a pig farm in Norfolk. Mike: “My challenge to you this morning Ben is to put some sun cream on a pig!” Ben: [looking a little uneasy] “Err, I...

BBC Breakfast doing their usual “there’s a high chance we’re all going to DIE so don’t do THIS or THIS” - and then doing exactly that - reporting that they specialise in during periods of extreme weather. The main presenter just looked earnestly down the camera and urged people not to light...

I much enjoyed John Craces’ withering assessment following Friday’s debate: “Time bends and stalls when you’re in the parallel universe of a Liz Truss speech. She leaves audiences begging for a lethal injection.”

Well, I wouldn’t be. Different opinions are what makes this board so vibrant and somewhere where I find myself spending far too much of my time. But there is, genuinely, I believe, nowhere else quite like it. I think Potter is a really promising, bright young manager with fresh ideas and an...

I’ve had worse offers, tbf

Exactly this. Doubtless there will be people saying ‘oh here we go again; female politicians being defined by what they wear rather than by what they say and stand for’ etc etc etc But for me that is spectacularly missing the point. This is a leadership (and PM) contest where the candidates...
