    Inflation is the result of continuing money printing and ever increasing debt,

     

    That only fuels demand side inflation.

    The high inflation the world has seen in the last 2-3 years has been purely due to supply side shocks, firstly from global supply chains post-covid and then from energy price shocks.

    Our wage budget is 25% higher than our nearest competitor 

    Even if that is true, which I doubt, it'll be largely due to us having to rely on older & experienced freebies - on the higher wages that come with it. My point still stands that PW shouldn't be blamed for that.

    I am sure Bird and the others , who are leaving will be a bit teary eyed at the end of the game . But come Monday - they will be photographed in their new club shirts saying their move was a “No Brainer “. I still don’t get what Bristol City have over us .

    At the time of the signing - a much greater chance of Championship football next season.

  5. The One I Love (Free on Prime)

    From imdb: On the brink of separation, Ethan and Sophie escape to a beautiful vacation house for a weekend getaway to save their marriage. What begins as a romantic and fun retreat soon becomes surreal when an unexpected discovery forces the two to examine themselves, their relationship, and their future.

     

    Highly rated on imdb but to me it felt like a half hour twilight zone episode, stretched to 90 minutes.

    Not that bad but entirely forgettable. 5.5/10

    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.

  8. 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.

  9. "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...
