    The official NFL Thread

    BBC Sport only ever refers to them as plain Washington. Don't know why they don't recognise the Commanders name?

    The official NFL Thread

    Eagles are starting to gel, with Hurts finding his runners, but they will get spanked if they come up against a team with a powerful passing game. I think it will be Eagles - Lions in the NFC Champ game. Obviously Chiefs will be favourites for the AFC, but who they go up against is quite open...

    The official NFL Thread

    I reckon Jared Goff for the Lions is the best QB in the league at the moment. His fake plays are a thing to behold - the defensive lines (even the Packers) are chasing shadows as they don't know who is going to actually carry the ball. Mahomes definitely struggling on his left ankle, and getting...

    KC stay unbeaten after scraping an OT win against the Bucs.

    The official NFL Thread

    Similar to the Eagles - only managed to beat a 2-7 team by a handful of points! Head to head a week on Friday. If you have a decent passing game, you could do well against a weak Eagles secondary, but Hurts is hitting his stride with Barkley, Brown and Smith on form. Detroit look the team to...

    Things that annoy you

    This appears to be a UK problem. We go to France reasonably regularly, and when we eat out, we are frequently in the company of families with kids, even pre-school age, who sit up to the table, eat the same food as their parents (not some shit with chips and beans), and join in the conversation...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    How can they say they are "the party of growth" when they are already increasing taxes on every business in the country? You can wave bye-bye to a pay rise next year if your employer is having to pay the government more.

    There is talk of them abolishing the "salary sacrifice" for pension contributions, which will increase the amount of tax we pay and employer NI contributions.

    More likely to be Chlamydia from a dodgy sausage in Canterbury ;)

    New cars

    A couple of years ago, i came into some money and needed to change my car. I wasn't originally looking at EVs, but i test drove the Toyota RAV4 PHEV and i was immediately sold. It has a range of about 50 miles when driven sensibly, which caters for my commute, and i can charge at home for 8p per...

    Birmingham Airport Locked Down

    Who thought that any of that was a good idea? They need to be shown the door, for sure! Incidentally, we paid a fiver each for fast track, and just barged our way through the tensa barrier on the upper floor to get to the fast track lane.

    Dave Boddy

    There is a lot that happened around that time, but my money is on the strategic changes to the coaching set-up, from the departure of Dennis Lawrence and Adi Viveash to the introduction of the psychobabble Performance Director and four first team coaches who had very little in terms of a track...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not convinced by that. There are a lot of pensioners who are asset rich (including the family home, which might be in a high Council Tax band) but very money poor.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    What hasn't been publicised widely enough is that Reeves said in Parliament in 2014 (as recorded in Hansard) that a Labour government would scrap the WFP for those not on Pension Credit. The notion that it is a reaction to a £22bn black hole (which is why it wasn't in the manifesto, apparently)...

    Death List 2024

    Absolutely spot-on, wingy! I was in my teens when that was on, and it was so enlightening. Brilliant TV! My wife had a chef working for her who referred to a black kitchen porter - just once - as Chicken George. "Chef" didn't make it to the end of the shift! They always mention Darth Vader but...
