where they make a big deal of saying the beef they use is British or Irish! Who cares?

My thoughts....

1. By saying that, they can show a degree of traceability of their produce (horse meat scandal, anyone?)

2. Saying British or Irish sounds a bit random but I assume it's just so they can use the same advert in both countries & save on costs.

Not sure what your evidence is but I hope you trust mine as I've worked a bit on this.

After 46 games the average percentage of lucky/unlucky games net for a team is precisely 9%. The maximum is over 20% -hard to believe I know. This is based on the standard +2 clear chances aggregate worthy of a win.

The average discrepancy to the chances/goal average is 0.35, the maximum over 1. These can all be positive or negative.

You understand what the above mean in terms of points, goals and league positions at the end of a season.

Laundry detergent ones, where they promise their new product/formulation will remove those stubborn stains.

Hang on.....you've literally been telling us that for at least the last 40 years that I can remember. Are you saying that this product will get the stains out but all of your previous ones wouldn't?. In which case, you've been lying to us all this time. Jog on.

Usually 2 points a game is the requirement for automatic promotion. Not this year.

 

Not necessarily. We're currently at 1.95 ppg. Win the last 2 and it'll be 2.

Why do I keep thinking about May 2015? - needing a draw with Reading in the last game and..............erm...........not.

"Booking geniuses"

Any ad where they have to tell you who the "celebrity" is, because they're not actually that famous.

Footballers advertising anything but especially Head & Shoudlers. Are they that strapped for cash that they have to pretend they've got dandruff?!

Any ad badly dubbed into english. Usually cosmetics or cleaning products. If a 70million population isn't large enough for you to spend a few quid re-shooting an ad in English - you don't get my money.

Podcast ads that are scripted (badly) and read out (even more badly) by the presenters. Political Currency podcast is particularly awful at this. Ed Balls banging on about the new Peugeot 208 FFS.

That eating cheese before bedtime would give you nightmares 🧀

that is indeed true. Makes your mind very acting during sleep thus possibility of nightmares 

When Mrs Wolfie had been living with me for a few months, we decided to have a couple of friends round and I did a big swiss cheese fondue. We had a lot of cheese late into the evening.

That night, I was woken at about 2am by her fully dressed and in the middle of packing her bags. She was semi-awake and convinced that she had to move out there & then. She couldn't give me any reason, just that she hed to do it. It took me about half an hour to talk her down and convince her to get back into bed.

That was 13 years ago and it remains the only time anything like this happened - and the only time we've ever had a fondue.

I have received a few pelters since last Saturday, so to make sure everybody is happy after the next match thread, could somebody kindly post a list of permitted opinions, please? It would be really helpful.

Not posting offensive twadlle like this might be a start...

 "my heart sank when I saw the team sheet, because like a bad smell, Bradley was back in. My only surprise was that Warne's other boyfriend Hourihane wasn't starting"

Yes, it's shame to see that Middlesborough are going to miss out on the playoffs. Again.

Almost forgot to mention, how bad was the linesman by the East Stand first half?!

So bad that my daughter learnt a new swear word.

I think Truss is selling herself short here.

I don't recall Brian Clough ever opening up new pork markets.

Derby 2-0 Leyton O

FRGS: Collins

That’s that, then. 

Wycombe 0-2 Derby

frgs: CBT

Anypne have any advice please....:

I normally go to the match with relatives who have a parking season ticket (Car Park B - Arena) but I'm taking Miss Wolfie to the Orient game and so need to drive seperately and pre-pay to park in the same car park as them.

I stupidly paid the parking on the MiPermit app on Sunday just gone without first signing into my account, so I don't have any email confirmation or live booking showing on the app.

Will they know on the entrance that my car registration has been used for a booking?. Otherwise all I have is a £10 transaction on my credit card app that I can show them. I sent a message on the MiPermit website but I'm not confident of getting an answer.

Thanks!

The Love Punch (Netflix)

Home alone last night and after a stressful day at work, I needed something light. Good choice - it doesn't get much more lightweight and fluffy than this.

Pierce Brosnan's company is taken over and sucked dry of cash (and pension funds), so he and his ex wife (Emma Thompson) seek revenge on the owner of the new parent company in Paris, aided by friends played by Timothy Spall and Celia Imrie. Pretty much every rom-com box is then ticked off.

Entirely predictable and not particularly Rom or Com but still a 6/10, due to it being the film I needed at the time, with some of my favourtie UK (comic) actors - Thompson and Imrie.

As a small child of about 5 I vividly remember discovering that my own "little stive" sometimes went all big in the bath, and my mum telling me to stop touching it because "if you keep doing that, it will fall off"

I didn't dare go near it again until I was about 13 - at which point I thought "sod it, if it falls off, it falls of - at least I'll have fun finding out"

 

And did it?.

I've been waiting soooooo long for someone to tell me for sure

The fact she (as a native German speaker) had to speak English with her French husband, and then was forced to speak French in court but had to keep switching to English when she couldn't find the words to explain her emotions. All very cleverly done

 

Yes, I found that really effective as well. I've only seen Sandra Hueller in a couple of things but she's a fantastic actor.

I Came By - Netflix

I'd only ever seen Hugh Boneville in light, fluffy, funny stuff (Downtown Abbey/Paddington/W1A), so it was odd to see him acting sinister in this thriller about a young grafitti artist who breaks into a retired judge's house, to find something nasty lurking in the basement.

Entertaining and with a not so subtle comment on the untouchable & powerful elite. I found the protagonist really annoying, which took me out of it a bit - to begin with (no spoilers). Boneville was excellent and the best thing about the film, by far.

Not bad 6/10

Was this the big RD announcement?

This is bigger news, to be fair.

Word of caution about jumping in & doing too much straight away...

During first Covid lockdown I thought it's be a good idea to do start doing those daily Joe Wicks youtube workouts with miss Wolfie.

Day 1..... Joined late, so missed any warm up (if there was one). First 10 minutes of squats after not doing leg excercise for a good while. Had to stop. Legs on fire for the next 2 days & struggles with stairs. Never did it again.

Start slow & easy people & gradually build up!
