Didn't know that. Makes sense then!

Surprised Sky have gone for it, to be honest.

It's the Netball World Cup in Cape Town starting on Friday, "across the BBC", in case you are interested! Another tournament being vaunted to the skies by the Beeb because they have "won" the broadcasting rights (presumably by a walkover because no-one else gives a shit). I wonder how much they...

Niche! :)

So much for the 5'4" Haiti keeper - that tip over was quite brilliant! Probably POTM, but they played really good stuff at times. Not the cake-walk England were expecting.

Yeah, it's very much seen as a girls' sport from an early age, so by the time they get to adulthood, they aren't half bad, and people do pay to watch it. If anything, it's been the *men's* game that is fake and manufactured over there. Same as in Australia - comes a distant fifth in popularity...

If anything, it will have fuelled the debate due to them embracing the tournament with the attendances. Admittedly, there's a bit of a dichotomy between matches involving the host nations (42000 (capacity) to watch NZ and 75000 (capacity) for Oz) versus "the rest" (only 22000 watched Spain, for...

I'm afraid to say i'm with you on that, which is why i'll restrict my viewing pleasure to England as they are one of the best teams. The suggestion that they should have pay equality with the men's game is pure nonsense, in my view. When the revenue streams are the same, then fine. But they...

Good goal by NZ though.

The time difference ain't gonna help the viewing figures is it? I hear they are embracing it in ANZ in terms of ticket sales, though.

Noticed there is no thread on this event, which starts tomorrow. I'm a bit surprised given how supportive some of you are about it, so i thought i'd put it here to prompt discussion. The lack of (even jingoistic) interest in the media is quite shocking given England's performance at the Euros...

It does seem to vary, but when i am loading my tray i always ask the security bod. Belt off? Shoes off? Kindle out of bag? Even if i am devoid of everything i almost always get a pat-down!!

The actual flights i have taken with Ryanair have been absolutely no problem - they are safe and the cabin staff highly professional. The seat legroom is a bit of a problem for me as i have long legs, rivalled only by American Airlines, but i'm not sitting on Ryanair for 9 hours at a time! The...

Ain't ChatGPT brilliant? :D

Same as the utility companies. Everyone was welcoming the impending demise of Thames Water last week, but the parent company is mostly owned by pension funds (20% by the Universities Superannuation Scheme, the largest pension fund in the UK), so many will suffer in the long run if it is simply...

I remember a time not so long ago when the supermarkets were being criticised by the CMA for selling fuel at next-to-no margin whatsoever, and forcing independents out of business. They really can't win, can they?

Going to the shop in a naturist holiday park??? :o

I would use umpteen every time, but not sure how big it is compared to eleventy (which i don't think i have ever used) EDIT: Sorry that might be a more direct/strait-laced response than you were hoping for!

If he was to identify as a woman (82.34 years average), does that give him an extra year?? :ROFLMAO:

I see that gobby twat Gary Neville is appearing as a guest "dragon" in the next series of Dragon's Den. Must make doubly sure not to tune in to that one!
