    Nottingham Serious Incident

    The access to and provision of treatment of acute mental health issues in this country is appalling. I'm not saying that this fella murdering bastard scumbag would have necessarily come onto the radar of any half-way functional service, but it is reaching epidemic proportions.

    TIP: Best to take them off first! An alternative would be to immerse yourself in liquid nitrogen, but that not end well!

    Heat

    I'm not a climate change denier, but there is definitely the potential for at least some of the change to be related to cyclical events. But it's also a vicious circle. Assuming that the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions have been a result of human activity, the rise in atmospheric and...

    Europa Conference League Final

    Anyone who posts a video on YouTube which mentions "Kicking Off" between fans in the title (or commentary), where it is nothing more than a bit of chanting from behind fences or rows of coppers/carabinieri, should have their account and their livelihood (if not their manhood) removed! First in...

    Have they mentioned Philip II ("The Macedon") or Alexander the Great yet?? Tell them they were born in Yugoslavia 🤣

    The holiday 2023 thread

    Not made it onto my list of destinations of choice. What are its redeeming features? Other than annoying the Greeks for using the name Macedonia, of course, which they believe belongs to them!

    Bear in mind this was a West Ham side that was fighting against relegation until all the clubs below them conspired to collectively self-destruct ...

    BBC 2 - Forensics the Real CSI - 9PM

    Why that demographic? Twice as many people in Coventry identify as Asian (18.5%) compared to Black (8.9%) (2021 census data). That cast isn't exactly reflective of the current population is it? How about programme makers reflect Asians in a better light than always in ridiculous stereotypical...

    Time to witness first-hand the gulf between EPL and SPL??

    Absolutely with you on this. Mainstream media should not resort to colloquialisms and slang when there are perfectly suitable words in the dictionary.

    Ange Postecoglou says he wants the Spurs job. When do we reckon he'll get the boot? https://www.matthewcoles.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/happy-christmas-ange.gif (PS - don't know how to embed GIFs :cry: )

    Zagreb is a lovely city for a weekend break, but possibly not as much to do as other places mentioned.

    Things that annoy you

    When we were in America on holiday recently, we were staying in mid-range hotels, and without exception, self-service breakfasts used paper, plastic or polystyrene plates and single use (usually plastic) cutlery. The piles of waste generated from every breakfast session were mind-boggling. Not...

    Pens

    I like the idea, but this would have the unintended consequence of defenders believing that committing fouls or deliberate handballs in the box would not be a nailed-on goal, so would be more likely to do it. It was the same when they made a try in rugby 5 points, with the hope that it would...

    A point my GLW raised on Sat was about the fairness of taking the first (or second) penalty. I recall they trialled the ABBA system in some league or competition a few years back, but it never got rolled out more widely. Anyone know why?

    Newcastle

    Tearing up the Championship isn't necessarily an indicator of success in the Prem, is it? But other examples were cited yesterday where that trend has been bucked (although more often staying with a team after promotion - Wilson, Toney, Vardy, Bamford to name a few)

    Don't you remember how well Callum Wilson did when playing off Leon Clarke back in the dark days of League 2? I think he could play off Vik the same way, after some ongoing improvement ...
