Indigo Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Football-related (and not directed at anyone on the forum as it spans wider than that) but for some reason I involuntarily cringe any time I see someone discuss transfers and say "yes please" regarding a player or "*insert player's name* please". I don't know why but it happens so often now I feel compelled to say it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure on it, partly I think punish them all as a collective because it is the collective that will lead to change (apart from it seemingly won't) but at the same time its not particularly fair to punish an athlete who has lived and trained in the states for say 10 years because they have a Russian birth certificate I would guess that there are plenty of ways around the latter and it would be interesting to see if some Russian born athletes are getting citizenship elsewhere and compete in 2024 and almost certainly in 2028 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I’ve just spent the last hour faffing with all my wifi settings before checking the news to see that Virgin Media have major internet outages across Birmingham this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra annoying thing is until literally 5 days ago I had a second internet supplier at home (Vodafone) which was absolutely perfect. As VM never failed (although it is sometimes temperamental) and rising costs etc I cancelled it and it was turned off last Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I've come into the office so I can get some work done. Having trousers on before 10am feels bad, don't know how I used to live like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True although this one caught me out as all local indicators were suggesting the internet was working fine, no amber lights, no warnings at all so I thought it might be specific to me.
