Well, not strictly speaking *everyone* 🤣

I see Elton has promised more undeliverable stuff in an unachievable timeline to try and stem the tanking of the share price. And investors seem to be lapping it up as usual. How many times does he get away with this move?? It's astonishing. Fair play to him!

You know if you watch slowmo footage of someone kicking a ball, that the foot touches the ball, the ball compresses at the point of impact and then the momentum force transfers into the ball and the ball, uncompresses and changes direction, and then contact between the foot and the ball is lost. This process all takes about 0.2 seconds. Depending on the frame rate of the video footage, you could be looking at anything from 5 to 10 frames in that time. There is no way at that distance that you can see the precise moment that a gap appears between the foot and the ball, so you can't possibly choose the "correct" frame. At which point you can argue that sub-conscious bias has to come into play. That Coventry decision could have been interpreted either way but it went the way of the "big" team For me, the only solution is to introduce a rule that says, where there is doubt/borderline footage - just give the advantage to the attacking team and accept that VAR can never be a precise science. As the saying goes "it will all even itself out over a season" That's the only way to preserve the entertainment factor. Otherwise you just kill the game and goal celebrations become a thing of the past

Absolutely They both know that there is little point trying to prepare for and play a game that has an very teeny slight chance might end up with an automatic promotion. They'd only do that if it were in their hands (ie no matter what Derby did on Saturday, they could finish second by winning) - but it's not. So that would be a crazy tactic Realistically the only thing on their minds psychologically is that they will both finish 3rd and 4th, and so they won't play each other in the Play-Off semis. The only way they can sensibly treat Saturday is as a warm-up game for the Play-Off final at Wembley

dons his sunglasses disguise...

I guess you have to choose one way or the other. We have to have a day off between episodes 🤣

Add to that the availability of charging capacity. Not too bad if you have a driveway and a home charge point, but even then you've got to work out your options for long journeys. So you plot a charging station, arrive there and it's already being used. Wait 30 minutes for a free charger and then wait another 30 minutes for yours to charge. Suddenly your journey has taken an hour longer, and you've eaten a whole packet of krispy kremes

we're on episode 4, but don't think I could binge it. Every 30 minute episode is mentally exhausting!

My missus is taking our lad instead of me - no point him missing out! The thing is that it's a small bowel MRI so you have to drink a litre of stuff that swells your gut for the scan and then an hour later you're urgently on and off the khazi for the rest of the day. I didn't fancy my chances with that at Pride Park even if the scan is finished in time. All the cubicles are full of the stone island lads doing coke these days anyway 😂

Bustler also has a record fair on at the same time... Annoyingly I've had tickets for the game since they came out but now can't make it as I have an MRI scan appointment come through for Saturday morning and I can't really cancel it. Some things are more important than some overpaid prats kicking a ball around 😞

Indeed - remember the much vaunted "Derby Way" that MM espoused? He said he would rather we play the entertaining "Derby Way" than grind out the type of sh*thousery 1-0 wins that we saw under Billy Davies. Easy for him to say while he was bankrolling the club but in retrospect, makes you want to weep.

Pretty sure that when I saw him in the nordic tent on the Market Place at xmas he was playing Derby songs and getting a good singalong going (may have been a match day - I can't remember)

The mini and the Fiat 500 maybe, but all those others look big to me. Probably just because generally cars seem to be trending towards the ugly big blocky thing, and no longer compact and sleek. Even hatchbacks seem designed to look like 4x4 these days As I said - I'm not a fan of cars anyway 😂

Does this give you your own local wallet or are you holding it with a broker like coinbase? (And therefore at risk of losing it all when they over leverage and go bankrupt)

Correct. Until they figure out a net zero way to mine. Which is essential if bitcoin is to have a future. If nothing changes in terms of energy generation prices then after the next couple of halvings mining will likely stop as uneconomical
