Half marathon brick - Pioneer Stand
at 21:28 27 Apr 2025

I did the stadium tour this afternoon, and spotted this brick/plaque a couple of meters up at the North Stand end of the Pioneer:



Neither of the guides had seen it before, or knew anything about it. It's inscribed:

"The Half Marathon Brick - carried 13 miles by F McSloy on the morning of Friday 27th August 1982."

Does anyone know any more about this?

Google censorship
at 22:59 26 Apr 2025

We went to Budapest last week, and I spent this afternoon typing up some reviews of the various places we'd visited.

One of the sights we saw was the incredibly poignant 'Shoes on the Danube Bank' memorial, paying tribute to Jews murdered by Arrow Cross militia during WW2. Sadly it also seems to have become a shrine to IDF soldiers killed during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

I posted a very simple review along these lines:

"A poignant memorial, but needs to be better protected and curated in order to ensure that its meaning is not diluted by being hijacked by other causes."

Google refused to publish the review, stating that reviews of this site had been restricted "in order to help keep Maps safe and reliable for everyone" but, funnily enough, there are plenty of very recent glowing reviews of the memorial.

Surely this is censorship, at its most blatant?

You know, the brand that sponsor that lot up the road.

I see a fair bit of it around Norwich, but not much anywhere else. Are they a 'legitimate' brand that were a thing before they sponsored Norwich? Or are they now getting a local following thanks to the exposure of being on their shirts?

Another 2,000+ left the workforce today...
at 21:25 15 Apr 2025

Whatever your views on the 'crisis' , this is NOT sustainable.

(based on ONS data showing 748,501 live births in 1959, and assuming that all of those born are still alive, retiring on their 66th birthday, and birthdays are spread equally.)

ONS data shows 591,072 live births in 2023 (most recent complete year), which equates to just over 1,600 per day.

Essentially, without immigration, the UK workforce is shrinking by 400 a day, or 146,000 a year.

In a similar vein to the one that Sky did a couple of months back, but with a broader focus. Well worth a watch if you've got 15mins or so.

Agent fees
at 17:14 14 Apr 2025

Given the number of transfer and contract-related events we had last summer, I'm a little surprised to see us having been the lowest in the league when it comes to money paid to agents.

What's the received wisdom here? Lower value transactions, or a general unwillingness to be held to ransom by these leeches?

How are we shaped up today?
at 14:44 13 Apr 2025

Seeing as we've got Tuanzebe and Johnson on the pitch, is it the 3/5 at the back formation that's served us well at times this season? Or are we in the usual 4-2-3-1 with Johnson playing wide right?

Whatever happened to 'Don't Pay'?
at 07:49 12 Apr 2025

I was walking through the city this morning, and saw an old 'Don't Pay' sticker on a lamp post. Probably one of the most effective citizen movements for many many years.

I remember how concerned those in power were - at one point even Ken Bruce was pumping out the scare tactics (if you don't pay you'll face serious consequences) on his morning show.

They got a fairly decent concession, and all but disappeared overnight.

Just think how the current water shambles could be impacted by a similar campaign.

Is Self-Assessment worth it? (>£2.5k expenses to claim)
at 10:45 29 Mar 2025

My employer pays me mileage at 16p per mile and, each April, I claim tax relief on the remaining 29p through HMRC.

This year is the first time that I'm claiming tax relief on more than the £2,500 basic limit, so it's telling me I need to go through Self-Assessment.

I'm at about £3,000, and a higher-rate taxpayer, so SA would net me about £200 extra, compared to just adjusting down to the £2.5k limit and taking an easy life.

Two questions:

1) Is Self-Assessment worth the extra hassle for the sake of £200?

2) If I go through Self-Assessment, will I still have the option to receive a lump sum refund? Or will I just end up with an adjusted tax code and a few extra quid in my take-home each month?
