OK, let's talk about those metal bolt things that get hammered into the steel plates of ship's hulls then... |  |

Unlike riveting which is fascinating. As early as 3000 BC, the rivet made its first appearance in Egypt as a joining element for the manufacturing of several tools and objets d'art (e.g. fixing a handle on jars). Later, it became a fastener commonly used during the Gallo- Roman era. [Post edited 2 Sep 2024 9:11]

Saw a steward and wondered what the problem was. Just people at the back standing and not causing any harm? |  |

Correct. I think (but not 100% sure) it is as at some point the new boxes will be open and at that point there could be a situation where views are blocked. Can't see any other credible reason why they would try and get people to sit down who are standing on the back row. |  |

Three games and we are already stopping the domestic league. Utterly nonsensical. Can't these idiots that run football sort things out better than this. I wouldn't trust them to run a bath. |  | |  |

Denim as a fabric hails from Nimes, where the extensively grown woad plant gives the fabric its trademark colour. Denim, de Nimes. |  |

That sounds very much like a football related topic. This thread is in the General section. |  |

Now the window has shut and there's no footie for a couple of weeks on 19:18 - Sep 2 with 1743 views | WeWereZombies | So, to wrap up the day's discussion I think we are all agreed that occupants of the new corporate boxes should be dressed in loose denim before the match and then riveted to the outside of the box so that they can be persistently told off by stewards for standing during the match. This must be carried out in an ethical and sustainable manner, the use of artificial intelligence notwithstanding (because the AI obeys the stewards.) |  |
