Whilst I have serious doubts about Gary Neville the football manager, I was really impressed by him when I attended a talk he gave about the university he set up in Manchester. He was really engaging and got the right blend of anecdotes and serious content. What really got me though was the...

Agree with the first part, Labour made a mistake in how much doom they portrayed. Its not very motivating. As for some other points: Growth creators leaving the country = millionaires who don't want to pay tax, if they care that little about the UK then fine off you pop SMEs getting battered =...

He hasn't invented as much as people think. He bought Tesla and Twitter. He did found space X but its well known that he is pretty much humoured as designer in chief. What he is good at doing is pumping funding and ambition into businesses and hiring the best brains going. And then using his...

Best in my 40 years

Mrs Scoobie said the same thing. She described it as creeping thunder, which I quite liked. Its the sheer persistence of it that makes it so good.

theres certainly a lot of levelling up going on but yes, it would be nice for some more infrastructure investment in GOSBTS

As a small business owner, I thought this would be more painful but it actually feels pretty reasonable, if the benefits really come to pass. I suspect all the pre-budget noise was about creating a sense of relief when it was actually delivered. I do think that Reeves is very credible

If coming from the south, leave the 23 at pease pottage, follow signs for broad field, just after the first set of lights there is a ‘match day parking’ sign on the left. Then you are into a trading estate and most of the car parks are free to park in. A bit like the uni of Sussex parking but...

Couldn’t agree more. I try to get along to the WSL games when I can as broad field is an easy 15 min drive from home. Today was probably my 10th match and by far the best performance I’ve seen. Lots of good passing out from the back, good high press and Kirby, Bruna and Seike are levelling up...

What absolutely staggers me is that we are 17th on £648m I just had a moment of clarity I just flashed back to throwing change in a bucket bugger me thats a remarkable stat, even if its totally logical and expected, given our rise. Im off for a lie down!

I hear you Zeberdi, Metaphors and Innuendos, the enemy of the autistic mind (often but not always)! Its a hard one to navigate, especially for neurotypical folks who dont have much experience in that arena, myself included. In a text orientated world (like an online fan forum) it can lead to...

Great post! Im an emotional kind of person so at times like this I need this kind of balanced thinking, especially the comment.... 'It's less romantic than the maverick telling us that we can do it and dragging us all to glory with his belief, but it's a long term plan that requires that no...

Personally, I don't think Tony and PBOBE will want to go that way but FWIW, a lot of people I chatted to at the stadium today were quite positive about a potential Potter return. I get all the reasons against and yet there is still a certain logic to the point that our (arguably) second best...

Completely agree with this point. When people say we haven't replaced xyz player, what they are actually saying is we haven't replaced the player that left, not the player that arrived. Ali Mac, Caicedo, Biss etc. didn't arrive as the players that left, they arrived like Baleba, Barco and...

Defo in, been going it on the roadside verge for a couple of years and doing the whole garden this year. Its amazing what comes through that you didnt even know was there.
