Thread | Save Whitton Utd
at 10:44 30 Dec 2023
Not sure if this has been mentioned.
If you can get past laughing at the 'famous' victory bit, it's an interesting piece on the mighty Whitton Utd who a young Mookamoo played for in his youth.

Didn't Dozzell snr play for them, or am I mis-remembering? |

Thread | Edmundson vs Burgess
at 10:08 4 Oct 2023
Wasn't at the game last night - Can anyone summarise what Edmundson was able to do last night that Burgess hasn't been able to offer?
I've seen lots of chatter praising McKenna for the switch, but nothing as to what Hull were going to do that required a tactical adjustment. Was it just a just a case of looking more solid at the back at home?
How much did the Clarke / Williams switch have to do with it? |

How is Nbada getting on?
Caught the highlights of Kilmarnock beating Celtic and he was getting himself about a bit. Looked like they were playing him left back, or left in a back 3.
I'm thinking that might have an influence if Leigh is being allowed to leave. We might not buy a replacement but look at a loan with the idea of assessing him at the end of the season.
Davis is so integral to how we play, we're not going to find a back-up to replace him like for like, so maybe we'll look at someone who can cover LCB and LB |

Thread | Renaming Portman Road
at 11:14 27 Jul 2023
How do people feel about selling the naming rights to Portman Road?
Dearest Edward has been a great sponsor, but I can see us signing up for a new bigger, longer term deal next year. I'm going for the Mediterranean Shipping Company Arena.
Cobbold stand is rebuilt over the top of Portman Road in 2027 and what is left is eventually renamed Mick Mills Way in 2049 to celebrate his 100th birthday. |

Sending asylum seekers to Rwanda is now ruled as illegal. Inflation struggling to come down.
I think they'll try and catch Labour off-guard and call and earlier GE knowing they'll likely miss Rishi's 5 pledges.
The Rwanda ruling will be appealed so they can campaign on the ideas it is all those others that are stopping them stopping the boats. Inflation will be at about 7.5% so they'll argue it will have been below 5% at the end of the year. |

Grotty day. Free kick whipped in and Burgess buries it from 5 yards. |

Thread | Weekend's 2 minutes silence
at 11:22 14 Nov 2022
I stopped and observed the 2 minutes silence on Friday - 11th hour and all that.
It's all kicked off on our local Facebook group that our village also didn't observe a 2 minutes silence on Sunday as well. The church seems to have made the grievous mistake of having their 2 minutes silence during their Sunday morning service at 9:30.
Is it now a thing you have to do both? |

Thread | Mr Ovo has solved the energy crisis
at 13:36 1 Sep 2022
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62742303
Short-term plans
Bring forward the £400 energy rebate - well yes, that would be a start...
Increase funding for debt advisory charities - Should someone not have the foresight to consider this already? No, of course they haven't because we have a sack of onions still in charge
Set up a fuel Poverty Task Force to identify households most at risk - would be easier to identify those not at risk. What absolute guff and what about businesses?
Medium-term plans
Abolish the prepayment meter "penalty", which sees prepayment customers paying more than those on direct debit - Why is that still a thing?
Subsidise bills though a Tariff Deficit Fund, which would be repaid over several years - Mr Fitzpatrick just want to make sure he gets his money, or at least a debt he can bundle and sell on. He is just getting twitchy about the amount of people defaulting
Abolish the standing charge that customers pay - Hmmm - why is he saying that? Friend just had a wood burner installed, which involved moving the electricity supply wires away from the chimney - that was covered by the standing charge. Without it she would have faced a bill of £2000. I'd like to see if this move favours the suppliers in the long term.
Mobilise a national effort to insulate UK homes - Again, should already be underway. Commission cost effective solar panels and ground source heating and get them mass produced at a subsidised cost to households. Ramp up production as if we're on a war footing, which we should be.
Long-term plans
Establish a single strategic buyer for all the UK's energy needs. - What? Like a Nationalised energy supplier?
Bring back the Department of Energy and Climate Change - Yep, the one canned my Theresa May.
Introduce a carbon tax - Not sure that would help reduce the cost of energy to households. Thats just something to write on the end of a list to make the list look bigger. |

The East Anglia 1 and East Anglia 2 offshore windfarms have now been approved. This will mean a pretty big facility at Friston to connect this all up to the national grid, plus it all has to come ashore somewhere. Plus Europe's largest solar plant is planned just east of Barton Mills.
Little old Suffolk is going to go through a fair amount of change in the next few years. |

Whoever the next one is, can we make sure their trusted assistant is also available, or we will just have to do all this all again in 9 months time. |
