    All purpose football thread 2023/24 Season

    The top and bottom are fascinating, but the term ' mid table mediocrity' was invented for good reason.

    Favourite Ice-Lolly - Sucker - Ice Cream

    I like it but don't think it's quite as good, however I've had a soft spot for the company ever since seeing the production of their honeycomb flavour in an episode of ' inside the factory.' ( seems like a nice company, relatable production techniques- a good show to watch with kids).

    Come to Norfolk they said - driest county in England they said!

    We'll have to wait til the election to do that.

    Recommended movies etc on Netflix/Amazon Prime III

    The special effects were not very good which is why relatively little of the shark was shown ( except towards the end when we see rather too much of it, drawing attention to it's rubberyness). I think it's strength lies in the editing which makes a virtue out of this weakness as well as of...

    Ukraine V

    I imagine that were this to happen then, for better or worse, it would do so with full air support and every bit of hardware that NATO possesses.

    Ukraine V

    Certainly good news for Ukraine but rather chilling when one considers how these could be used elsewhere. One can imagine naval drones being used in both attack and defence in Taiwan, attacking international shipping, piracy, terrorism etc.

    War declared, Israel v Palestine...

    I think you're right. Quite simply Biden is able to face in two directions at the same time. As a way of alleviating a crisis it's obviously ludicrous and overblown.

    What are your tips for injury prevention and good health for the over 50s?

    I've been taking anywhere between 3000 and 5000 iu of vitD for some years. While I haven't noticed any benefits I have long been persuaded of its importance, ever since hearing a show on R4 in which some academics mentioned, similarly to the vid linked earlier, that all the experts they knew...

    Tory leadership failure Part V: Rishi ‘Infosys’ Sunak

    Hello, goodbye.

    Labour Leader: Keir Starmer VII

    Actually Kinnock was often very good indeed. I'll give you the others though I'm not sure starmer is better than them.

    Labour Leader: Keir Starmer VII

    Starmers a pretty poor public speaker, which shouldn't matter but does, but then so is Sunak. I think sometimes he catches the eye only because he (over)commits. Some are taken in. I find him shrill and borderline hysterical. On this occasion I agree with the grauniad. Starmers questions read...

    Labour Leader: Keir Starmer VII

    Sunak sometimes appears to have fared well but it's usually superficial. On this occasion his claims to have gotten rid of lee Anderson for what he'd said is simply untrue. He was dismissed for failing to withdraw his comments. It's not the same thing. He's got form in this regard. He also...

    Labour Leader: Keir Starmer VII

    Do you think so? Endlessly bringing up Jeremy Corbyn, who starmer did expel whilst failing to address the madness of Liz Truss, who remains an mp seems weak to me, albeit it was met with the usual baying from the Tory benches. I also thought it was interesting that starmer brought up garage...

    Sound quality at gigs

    That's a very accurate summary of the Brixton academy and the garage. That said I've seen a few bands sound quite good at the academy including the jesus and Mary chain ( on the automatic tour) and siouxsie and the banshees, but usually it's mush. Such a shame as it's a wonderful feeling venue...

    Resin ceiling rose drilling advice, please.

    If you've marked the centre and use a drill bit smaller than that which guides a hole saw you should be ok. I'd be surprised if you needed a ceramic blade or bit. If it's plaster you'll go through in seconds. Resin will be tougher and you might need to try out different speeds. Do report...
