I admire your positive slant Tom. But NIMBYs and BANANAs never die. They just regenerate. And they will absolutely not stop, EVER, until these perennial timewasters can have their days / weeks / months / years sat in a dull municipal council chamber room to trot out their dreary shite in order...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from the utter spazfest trauma of the 12 year Amex planning application, I seem to recall that BF falls at least partly within the boundaries of LDC. The idea of a pub or boxpark there getting past the crinkled, tweed-dwelling bitter blue-rinse brigade that festoon...

"Can I spread the cost over eight years ?" :lolol:

Whoever they appoint now will come in knowing he was waaaaayyy down their shortlist (if he was ever on it at all)

In The Times today: "A conversation on board an aircraft paints a neat story of why Solly March is in the most prolific form of his career. BHA were flying back from Merseyside last month when the midfielder was asked how many League goals he might get this season. RDZ listened and added 2 more...

That was fun. Especially as my Man Utd / Man City / Chiefs came in at a boosted 6/1. That about 45 beer tokens. Excellent.

To what end ? To retrospectively alter the result - you'd advocate that ? That would certainly lead to a few asterisks on the League table. Thats an even dafter idea.

And thats the crux of it. Yes we've all moaned and grumbled at a poor refereeing decision, but there used to be the caveat that "well they only get one look at it from one angle, in real time". There was an acceptance of the fact that its a tough job out there, and sometimes they or the lino...

As if it doesn't already take long enough for VAR to come up with a decision, you want an appeals process built in as well ? My god, the game would never bloody end. And you can guarantee whichever team concedes a goal, especially a late one, would be straight onto the "appeals" button. Then...

He's been briefed. The owners are in full-on Russian bullshit mode (deny, deny, deny), so he has to toe the party line for now. United front and all that. Personally, I don't think the EPL would have hung their balls out this far unless they had some pretty damning evidence to take them down.

Well...its nobodies fault, just one of those things isn't it ? Just go to the game, and maybe claim some back in luncheon vouchers.

No point in stripping titles IMO. What are you going to do, award them to the runners up ? It'll feel utterly meaningless. Like revising the medal placements in the Olympics years later when lying cheating scum like Russia are proven to have cheated. The moments gone. Its forever spoiled. But...

His heart won't be in it. I'm sure the punters will understand when he postpones.

Yeah he's a big boy, he'll survive I'm sure. If Amazon ditch him, he'll pitch up somewhere else. He's a hugely successful writer.

If I'm not back in time for Question Time, I am going to go POSTAL.

No, not really. Is it not tedious for us to SEIZE on the SEGW and pile on ? Or must we all tug our forelocks and only write nice things about people ? Back in the day when I used to dabble on the Palace BBS away end, I called one of their residents a "catastrophic felching cockspangle", and got...

He's a dinosaur, he knows it, and he revels in it. Instead of the grovelling apology, I kind of wish he'd come out swinging with something like "FFS you bunch of rancorous sandled Guardianista IMBECILES, it was a newspaper column taking the piss out of a cossetted, vacuous, permanently-offended...

I was too young (10) to appreciate it when Chariots of Fire first came out, and found it boring. Well, I probably saw it a couple of years after on VHS as I wouldn't have been at the cinema for it. But I watched it again about 3-4 years ago and really enjoyed it. You're right. Great film.

Not very pleasant, or particularly clever. But the way it gets SEIZED upon, and everyone runs around getting offended in a feeding frenzy until he resigns / gets sacked / head on a pike outside the Tower of London is (IMO) one of the more tedious aspects and side effects of social media. It was...

They'd already signed up for 3 series, so there'll be at least 1 more in the pipe (its already been confirmed its going ahead). Hopefully by then, all this tedious pathetic shite over Markle will have blown over and we can all get on with our lives without being absolutely terrified of...
