Had to go for the £60 tickets as I missed out on the cheaper ones in the initial ballot. When they turned up I was quite surprised that they were in the middle tier of the West Stand - thought that had all been set aside for hospitality.

Illegal workers are the responsibility of the Home Office. They have an online site where you can shop people for immigration offences. https://www.gov.uk/report-immigration-crime If it's a national minimum wage issue, inform HM Revenue and Customs and the Department for Business, Innovation...

Nearly five million quid for a station that can only be used when there's no demand? I'd say I was surprised, but it is the same Council that lost tens of millions on the Ricoh...

Man Utd have been feeding this story to the media to distract from their epic failures in regard to Di Maria (15 million quid loss), Falcao (paid 15 million for one crap season) and Pedro (chased all summer to no avail). How many times have we seen the back of one of the redtops splash an...

Do you understand how footballers' contracts work? They have a fixed term, and the club is obliged to pay the wages for the lot of it. So if we release COG and Colunga, we have to pay them for the rest of their contracts. Bad recruitment haunts a team financially for quite a few seasons.

:bowdown: Wonderful commentary.

I think you've missed out an important word: ELECTRIC.

So much ignorance of how business and taxes operate on this thread. The reasons to be concerned by Uber relate to safety and competence, since Uber drivers require substantially less training and certification than black cab drivers. But on the bright side, I've yet to have an Uber driver try to...

Even though they've nabbed a few bits of food off me down the years, I would hate to live somewhere without seagulls. That sound they make in the morning is special.

Really? I'm glad they did this after my Dad retired. He's still ranting about the withdrawal of the buffet car.

In fairness to the Government and its Coalition predecessor, there was a lot of fat to be trimmed from parts of the public sector. However, it's been trimmed remorselessly for five years, and they've taken away a chunk of muscle with it. They've also tied the hands of local government by cutting...

Whenever a project has 'Eco-' as the prefix, you know it's going to a bunch of uneconomical nonsense. One hundred million quid on a small stadium, some sports pitches, and some 'affordable' housing in a part of the country that isn't exactly bursting at the seams. I'm sure that will give a great...

Their attempts to enter the mobile market have been absolutely disastrous (the only people I know with Windows Phones have them as employer-provided work phones). BUT, the Surface Pro 3 is a cracking bit of kit - the only device I've used that can really be both a tablet and a full-spec...

Nowhere else comes close. The only American city with two NFL teams is New York; they share a stadium (in New Jersey). LA has quite a few college football grounds, but these don't tend to be as high-spec as our modern football stadia.

Czech.

Why is he holding a pen over a printed document that doesn't need to be signed?

Metallica, who a number of people have said would definitely be a sell out, had over 10,000 empty seats when they last played Wembley in 2007. There were still shedloads of people there, mind you.

It will still be on BBC or ITV - Discovery Communications will just end up sub-contracting, as the Games have to be shown on terrestrial TV.

At Download Festival, the guy who operates the camera that zooms over the crowd is a Grade A pervert - he zooms in on every girl on shoulders until she gets down or flashes her boobs. Seems a fair choice to me.

It has no shareholders, it returns profits (it it makes any) to the Government, its debts form part of the national debt, and its board are appointed by the Department for Transport. Thus, Network Rail is already nationalised - it's the train operating companies which are in private hands. But...
