    How not to run a train service

    How much do you get off fares? Is it worth the outlay?

    Defendants not being compelled to be in court to hear the verdict or for sentencing. As with the bastard drug dealer (may he rot in hell) who shot Olivia Pratt-Korbell in Liverpool, the serial killer nurse should be required to be there. But if they don't show their cowardly faces, the...

    Women's World Cup 2023

    Apparently it was her family's idea. I think that is shocking. I don't think i would ever forgive my family for withholding that from me for two days? I'm sure she is ballsy enough to have focussed on the game and play harder for her dad. If they knew he was close the end (a long illness, it...

    How not to run a train service

    Wouldn't have guessed from your posts that you'd be eligible for a senior railcard. Also (just having checked) didn't know *I* can get one next year!! (Bus pass now not available until state pension age, 66 - had missed THAT particular change)

    Women's World Cup 2023

    I was in Wales on Saturday, but didn't see the match - probably for the best, tbh. Didn't hear much cheering from the pubs - other than the end of the Ireland-England game!

    Would we say 52-16 is a "hammering"?

    Women's World Cup 2023

    Well i am, but my Mum was Welsh, so growing up in the 70s when Wales were the predominant force in rugby meant ours was a Wales household, which i have hung on to, strangely. As a consequence, i have no urge to see England prosper, particularly as they have played a dull version of the game for...

    Women's World Cup 2023

    I didn't watch the match as i was away, but i'm not surprised that we lost having seen previous Spain and England games at this WWC. Spain looked absolutely woeful against Sweden because the Swedes adopted the high-press. Spain only prevailed in the last 15 minutes when Sweden tired and they...

    Things that annoy you

    Too right. We need to be more secure in terms of food production in this country, so the drive towards "net zero" only being achieved by renewable energy is a total red herring. It is ludicrous that a farmer can earn more money from giving up his/her land for a solar farm than from food production!

    Interesting idea, but the problem then comes with the correlation of high-performing students coming from better schools and wealthier backgrounds, so are more able to afford the fees anyway.

    Interesting approach by the National Trust to name their delightful young beaver after the Lionesses!

    I got South Africa in the draw at work, but my line report drew France, who i think could steal it if they don't go all .. well... French!

    Why didn't Russo get credited with the assist for Toone's goal? Great ball from the by-line
