Surely all a bit odd to advertise as free range at the minute, as don’t they all have to be inside due to Bird Flu?
Eggs is probably the only thing we try and buy organic if possible. Though appreciate current climate might make that difficult for some/many.
Don’t really care about the pesticides/herbicides, but makes a really surprisingly significant difference to the amount of space they have. Free range can be quite poor ethically really (but much better than caged!!). |

Wigan forum post says the following re Lang:
Leam said in the post-match interview he's carrying an injury from the penalty incident on Saturday and it, "didn't look good." Also jokingly said there've been no bids for him so I'm sure he's heard some of the conjecture flying around. |

Yep we watch it. Really like it - more chilled program than what I usually like but think it’s very good.
Think it’s one of those rare programs that equally appeals to both guys and girls. |

Completely agree with this.
Very much think they are underpaid considering they are representing an entire constituency at the height of UK politics.
Annoys me when people say otherwise, it’s a damn hard job! Not sure I would want that responsibility - and half the country hating me whatever I do - for £84000!
People are just annoyed that they’re not paid more - which depending on the job may be a fair point, but is different to the question of whether MPs are paid enough. |

I actually really like Edward Ebenezer Jeremiah Brown. It’s quirky, unique, not just a rehash of a pop song. And good shouty bits like ‘Where was the goalie…’
Just needs Ed to cover it for it to become more well known!
Doubt Ed would write his own sadly - too risky for him! |

Im seeing a lot of managers people don’t want as being a labelled an ‘evans era’ decision.
Except actually I think Evans’ manager choices were generally quite well received when announced (and appeared sensible decisions - except maybe lambert who was more debatable. It’s only in hindsight that they were considered poor choices. That’s more the team/manager rather than Evans’ manager choices.
He had many flaws of course, but let’s not scapegoat Evans for everything. |

I’ve been in a lot of offices who have bought coffee machines (in a post that moves teams every 6months). Might be a bit late if you’ve decided already!
I’ve noticed a few things:
- Any office which has a pod machine - it is never used. It jut gathers dust. People don’t want to buy the pods themselves (expensive), and most offices won’t shell out the expense for lot of communal pods (get used up quick).
- The only offices that I’ve seen people use coffee regularly are when the beans/ground coffee is provided for them. This is one of the biggest things for office morale I think.
- Cafetières actually work really well.
- The one machines that I’ve seen that are used often are bean-to-cup ones that you can just push a button and get nice coffee. More expensive but IMO worth the extra expense (if you’re buying this machine with office Covid morale boosting money, obviously not if you’re buying it yourself!). |

I’ve thought long and hard about this on multiple occasions.
Winner: Co-op Salt and Vinegar (See image). No question the best crisp. Wow. Just wow. You must try.
Honourable second place for any sea salt and black pepper crisps.
Honourable mention for any fancy truffle flavoured crisps (eg M&S/Waitrose). The only ‘new’ flavour that I think stacks up to the classics.

‘Experts are wrong, and I’m going to assert this without giving any reasoning whatsoever’. ‘Oh and it’s your job to convince me’.
Covid’s a myth too right? Vaccines cause autism?
Nothing to do with religion, I just dislike people saying things are fake/myth/conspiracy without giving any justification. |

Thread | Consortium plans
at 19:46 1 Mar 2021
Sorry for being ignorant, but won’t the salary cap and financial restrictions really impede any significant short term investment into us? (Assuming we’re don’t go up this year).
What will the consortium bring to the table apart from a new manager do you think?
Don’t quite see how it’s a good investment for them - sounds very risky (or at least not a quick improvement) to me! No guarantees we will be able to invest enough to go up next year if we fail this year.
Can someone enlighten me? |

Reply | Is there anyone now who wouldn’t welcome Lambert being sacked?
at 20:35 30 Aug 2020
I’d genuinely vote for him to stay at the minute.
He made mistakes (especially the rotation) but I can see why he tried it. Guess the downside of giving the rotation system a good go is that it’s a long time until you see the benefits, which of course if it doesn’t work obviously seems like wasted time. Hoping he will learn and change for this season.
With a bit of momentum early on, I think we could do well. And whilst it’s got a bit old now, I’d rather someone try and connect with the fans than completely ignore them.
Main reason not to change is that I’d be truly petrified of who we’d get next!
Obviously if we don’t get promoted this season then that’s it, but I’d give him the season as long as we’re in and around automatics. |

Live down in the South West and both are obviously amazing, but agree that I think South Hams area is genuinely the most beautiful area of England anywhere. Prefer it to the Lake District. Salcombe is stunning but pretentious, Dartmouth is equally beautiful but slightly less ‘private school’. Bigbury is just really interesting because of the island. Roads throughout are terrible though.
However - I also work in a hospital in the South West, and there are genuine, very serious concerns (based on modelling) of a severe second peak in the South West due to the sheer amount of holidaymakers. This is because it’s likely to be one of the most popular places for holiday makers, but also because it has not had COVID-19 very severely at all so far (only about 4%), and the level of immunity is incredibly low.
Obviously people are free to make their own decisions, but please do bear this in mind before coming down here this year. |

Reply | Looking to buy a coffee machine around the £100 mark.
at 08:20 8 Dec 2018
For £100, I probably wouldn’t bother with a proper coffee machine. Quality would be terrible.
You could try pods. I have one and used it loads initially, now hardly ever. If you do go pods though, definitely get nespresso, not any of the knock offs. Just because most alternative brand pods are for nespresso type machines.
However, my recommendation is to spend around £30 and get an ‘aero press’. Honestly, the best coffee I’ve had and takes about half the time of a cafetière. No faffing with the washing up like with a cafetière. You’ll get a much better coffee with that than with a £100 machine.
Look it up. |

Thread | Why are GKs one of the 'cheapest' positions to buy?
at 17:27 4 Jan 2018
Over the years goalkeeper's transfer fees have always traditionally been lower than their outfield counterparts.
But in terms of the amount of points Bart (for example) has saved us the past few seasons - he must be up there with any striker who can often command astronomical fees.
I get why Bart in particular might be £4m - lack of premier experience, not young etc. But why are good keepers in general cheaper? When surely they are one of the most important positions on the pitch! Any ideas? [Post edited 4 Jan 2018 17:29]

I'd think it would be a big shame if he went to be honest.
Definitely wouldn't get a better manager in, and I'm really excited for all the youth players coming through. They have been played a lot and thats down to Mick.
Think we should still improve this season. Just really hope Portman Road doesn't become more toxic as thats so hard for any players/manager to play in. |
