I can't remember who it was but some z list celeb posted the same thing on twitter few years back.
Had to be reminded we predominately grow crops of barley & wheat, most of which doesn't make the ground look that green from the air this time of year.
It's summer, of course it's hot, clearly everyone forgets the summer of 2020, even 2019 was pretty hot as I recall in June too. |

Nah that's Wimbledon.
Ill never forget the time listening to Simon Mayos show on the radio and he was doing it from Wimbledon for no reason other than he could, and then did the film reviews with Kermode, from Wimbledon, and every so often they'd mention a score in a match they weren't watching or covering live because they were reviewing films anyway
And I just thought this is insane.
It's the same though at Glasto or Silverstone next week the Beeb will triple up on staff covering it when they really have no valid reason to be there, essentially so they have a jolly on a day out |

we dont need carrier suitable variants flying out of Marham, not unless global warming sinks Norfolk.
the F-35 is a fifth gen fighter jet, these are the most advanced jets in operation today, it has stealth capability, advanced avionics and integrated computer systems that network command and control across the battlefield
the F-35 will likely soon also be able to control UAV drones in flight.
The typhoon whilst a capable jet, is not as advanced as the F-35, and is already targeted for replacement by the Tempest/Global Combat Air programme, the French are building the FCAS. 6th gen fighters, because thats where you need to be looking towards, not the past.
the last Eurofighters are already being built, the government hasnt ordered any new ones for 15 years, and weve already retired 49 of the tranche 1 type. |

it is, but too many people have jumped from the bridge, so if it gets called in theres someone on the bridge, theyll declare an incident, close it, and go deal with it.
because if they just ignored it, and it was someone who jumped, everyone would complain they werent doing their job properly. |

but we know from winning it as recently as 2005, success in that comp doesnt mean anything anymore, how many of that team went on to become mainstays in any football team, let alone our own.
whilst Southampton who lost,had Walcott, Bale, Lallana, Nathan Dyer...
I think the emphasis on academy/youth teams has changed from simply having a nice group of players in a team learning stuff & winning some things, to no we need to produce 2-3 quality players out of this, that we can either sell for lots of money, or use in our squad as a direct replacement for buying in someone for lots of money.
I dont feel the past 20 years now, weve been doing that, for sure theres a variety of reasons for it, lots of it outside our control, some it very much in our control, and we'll always be a club whose they could have been it players get poached before we get chance to realise their true value.
but the definition of madness is to carry on doing the samethings and expecting different results. |

I doubt the pitch is the problem, but the costs of running Portman Road for a game, even at reduced capacity, when your only charging £6 a ticket |

The deals were linked somehow we bought Paz and Taricco sort of came along at the same time as I dont think we were looking to buy a fullback, which you might question given our leaky defence, but Taricco didn't even make his league debut till the season afterwards, but we hadn't got a Spanish translator at the club, so Taricco sort of helped be that link to Paz with the team/coaches and developed into the more useful player ultimately |

as I get bored of repeating since 2019, Archer will never be fit enough to play test cricket again, he's done in that format, we need to look beyond him to find other quality bowlers, rather than pin our hopes on it will all be fine when hes back.
Wood will always last 2 tests per series. only 1 if the 2nd match is back to back. |

it is, but unlimited visits to see what, even before Covid when I had one of those passes, we were going to see a bunch of random movies in the end most of which werent any good.
since Covid/Hollywood strikes, the output of new films has shrunk so much most cinemas arent viable anymore as a business.
so sure you can go as many times as you like during a month and watch what ?
and yes there are a bunch of new movies out this month and next, but then its dead again till Christmas |

It's habit though isn't it, Cineworld has been the cinema for the past 25 odd years people went to. Omniplex is the small place stuck in what used to be a dept store.
I was shocked last time I went to cineworld how bad they've let it go, the screens and sound need a good sorting out as it felt like cinema in the 80s. Not cinema of the 2025s paying 14quid a seat. |

Yeah and I still remember our landing at Moscow Sheremetyevo back in 2001 as one of the sketchiest landings ive ever been on in some ancient Ilyushin iirc, think we came back on an airbus.
I've always said people who are comfortable on landing and takeoff don't understand the process of what's actually happening. |

then he's a bit of an arrogant so and so then, because McKenna made it clear we were playing as a squad of players all of whom had roles to play, and some would have to sit on the bench, be rotated in to games and fight for their places in the team, which players like Hirst took the challenge on perfectly
and there was nothing Burgess did last season that made me think McKenna got it wrong, and that he was some premier league quality defender in disguise.
alot of the Burgess love comes from the promotion seasons and how well he played in the championship,and we thank him for that, not what he did last season
I suspect the reality is his agent was trying to get an improved deal out of Town, and chucked alot of higher linked clubs, none of whom were interested to get us to bite, and Swansea literally probably were the only actual other offer on the table.
I mean thats the reality if the guy is such a great defender that McKenna has apparently not seen, why have none of the newly promoted sides signed him instead ? why have none of the other championship teams saw an opportunity to buy him ? it wasnt a secret his contract was up and was clearly stalling on signing Towns offer. |
