Re: Rugby League

I never felt tired & was fully awake for the whole journey.. I'm sure the guy who caused the Selby train crash thought he wasn't tired and was fully awake. Your reactions and decision making are impaired when you haven't slept regardless of whether you feel tired or not. Professional drivers are su...

Re: Rugby League

I drove down to the South of France & back 950 miles each way & both legs driven in 24hrs, going down I had 10mins sleep & on the way back 1hrs sleep. I kept awake on both legs & felt fine when the journeys had finished. This is nothing to brag about - in fact it is downright dangerous. Anyone who ...

Re: Democracy under threat.

16 & 17 year olds can vote in the Scottish and Welsh parliamentary elections but not in the UK General Election. Therefore not a totally English decision.

And why do you think Ian Blackford is a disgrace? He's doing exactly what his electorate mandated. He is the leader of the SNP in Westminster. Ian Blackford won his seat on the SNP manifesto for an independent Scotland (i.e. not governed from London) Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU...

But the point is Lots of people - not only you - quote Switzerland as an example of a successful country outside the EU. They are, but they have agreements with the EU.

I'm surprised that you weren't stopped, especially as vans are almost always stopped. When we moved here from Munich with a Munich registered car, we seemed to be stopped 50% of the time. When we re-registered the car locally we were stopped less than 1% of the time - in fact I can't remember the la...

Re: Democracy under threat.

If you think Switzerland has no hard borders with the EU, please take a goods vehicle from Stuttgart to Zurich (or vice versa) via the Thayngen border crossing and then tell me there are no hard borders berween Switzerland and the EU.

Don't know how easy it is to get tickets for Bayern. All games seem to sell out and although they might keep some for football tourists I suspect these might go to specialist companies.

As I said though it's not always easy to change when you've ran yourself into the ground for 80 minutes.

Germany look in dire straights, as they're reduced to 10 men and only drawing 1-1 with Sweden. This comment just goes to show yet again you know absolutely fuck all about football.

My problem with VAR is its application.

I wanted to hear him. Didn't care whether he gave us money. I wanted him to stand up and tell the 'full' story that he keeps saying we don't know. Face the fans and explain why he did what he did.
Then leave and never darken the doors of our club again.
