If only it wasn't so hard to pronounce!! VROTS-WAF i think! Might try Poznan instead

They'd have a point, TBF!

They had him in their care, then they let him slip through their fingers, probably through being over-stretched rather than lazy, but you never can tell. Horrific. The public inquiry can't come soon enough.

suspect it's "yoof-speak" and i'm becoming out of touch with modern life!

Olympic diver Noah Williams being interviewed on the radio this morning said "I haven't really seen my parents much slash at all since i got back". The oblique stroke (or slash in modern parlance) is a punctuation mark to replace the word "or" in written texts. If you mean "or"when you are...

I've had Sky Stream for a while. You don't actually record anything, unlike SkyQ or YouView, etc, so i am still trying to get used to it. I don't have sports or movies, but it works fine with the regular channels and streams Prime and Netflix with no issues.

Annecy is beautiful - we make an overnight stop there when we are going skiing, and it is lovely in winter. We went to Budapest when they they were just setting up for the Christmas market, but it was fucking freezing!!

I like Brugge/Bruges as a city to go for three days or so, but can't see a Christmas market being any different to most cities, tbh.

Most towns in northern France have some sort of market with a few more actual market stalls to buy stuff than Birmingham, which is exclusively beer, gluhwein, sausages and pissed-up chavs. Arras is a lovely city and their christmas market is pretty good. Only an hour from Calais, so can be done...

Just that they clearly don't have a clue what is going on, and trying to use the jargon makes them sound ridiculous

Zagreb is a fantastic city to spend a long weekend, but it's difficult to find flights from the UK, so it ain't cheap, sadly. EDIT - not able to comment on Christmas markets there

I think most people are aware of it just from being the airport for the resorts on the Costa del Sol which got a bad rep for boozed up Brits, but my ex-boss moved there so i know more about the city and sounds great.

TBF, it's his family who have reported him as having taken his own life, having had a number of significant attempts in recent years. Haunted by his demons, it would appear. Sad.

I didn't realise Eurosport had it as well. Whatever happened to the Olympics always be on free-to-air TV??? I wonder if KJT would do better with a coach other than Denise Lewis??? The expert in the diving was Leon Taylor, who won a silver (in diving, coincidentally) at the 2004 Athens Olympics...

Just visiting this thread after all is done and dusted. 65 medals just beat Tokyo, but i'm not sure that is much of a thing to boast about - i thought there was a clear-out and post mortem after that. I think some "teams" did really well, the rowing in particular, but for me there were too many...

I think Kerr blew that. He knew he had beaten Ingebritsen and forgot about the others in the field. Great run and PB for Hocker though.

We'll have to agree to differ on that one, Daz.

Agree entirely. It shouldn't be beyond the wit of packaging designers to make the film stronger than the glue!

Superb analogies! "Kick a lasagne round your garden"! Priceless!

Sorry, but it is precisely THIS sort of shitty school playground sniping in pretty much EVERY thread that needs to be blocked. Off Topic Chat is clearly marked as such, and it is a place for people with a common interest (i.e. City fans) to have a chat about anything and everything, like you...
