In the NFL there's a bit of a trope-y adage that teams never beat another team 3 times in a season (when they play someone twice in the regular season and then again in the playoffs). On both occasions against Forest we've been in the game and could be considered unlucky to have lost.
They'll allow us plenty of ball as is Nuno's style. Per usual, first goal ultra critical. COYB.
Inspired by the music recs thread, how about the best films you've seen this year? Here's a few of mine, some of which feel like 2023 but google reliably informs me were released in 2024 in the UK. Hopefully something for everyone in there.
- The Zone of Interest - The Holdovers (ideal for Xmas) - La Chimera - Love Lies Bleeding - Juror #2 - Trap - Challengers - Conclave - Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World - The Settlers - Heretic - Kneecap
For me it is pretty much solely that first home game back in the Prem in 2001. I had a ST with my Mum in the Cobbold lower (Dad and bro were in NS6). Vividly remember:
1. The atmosphere - was genuinely incredible, and the best since the Charlton playoff game (Clapham own goal). 2. United fans in the away end a bit dumbstruck by it all (had to stand on my seat to see them). 3. Beckham blowing a fella in front of us a very camp kiss after receiving all sorts of abuse. Quite a good way to shut him up.
Dad always goes on about the 6-0 at PR when we missed 3 pens:
Thinking of tackling it next Saturday. Weather wise it looks okay - no snow/rain and above freezing at the top (before wind chill). That seems feasible to me. Any advice/local knowledge much appreciated.
I'd do £50k, maybe £40k. Market is pretty buoyant for my sort of work, I've been here 2.5 years so a decent stint. I could take a few months off and focus on other stuff (trying and failing to write a book), maybe travel a bit, etc. and then go hell for leather for new work in the new year.
Been yonks since I've been to Brighton. Would like to avoid Spoons etc. - any recommendations for a pint, perhaps something to eat, in Brighton centre before the game? Will be arriving before midday.
I’ve tried various VPNs but Peacock have obviously blacklisted a few. Has anyone had success downloading the Peacock TV app on iOS using a VPN? If so please let me know which one.
Anyone else had this? The new version of syringing.
Since swimming in Portugal last week my right ear felt blocked, to the point where I could barely hear, and nothing was helping (drops, olive oil etc.). Turns out wearing earplugs to sleep, in hot weather (sweat, urgh), then going swimming is not a good idea. Anyway, the pharmacist said it was a wax build up, so softened it all up with some eardrops and got a microsuction appointment down at Liverpool Street this morning.
Wow. Painless, relatively cheap and now I can hear EVERYTHING. Feel like a new man just in time to hear the North Stand properly. High recommend.
Interested in whether you are secure in your role given the pressures in the sector?
We (at UCL) are a little more immune than most due to prestige (arguable how warranted it is) and the research income we receive but starting to hear rumblings about restructures, cuts etc. if student numbers fall further.
EDIT - I am about as secure as it gets due to the nature of my role, luckily..
My sister flies back from Portugal on Sunday 4th. I fly out to Portugal on Monday 5th. She lives in the Midlands, I live in South East London. We're staying at the same villa, my brother-in-law's place, and I need to get the keys off them. Nowhere to leave them on site in Portugal, and feels *probably* safer to seek options in the UK. Anyone aware of a solution at Stansted? Coded lockers etc?
A cursory google doesn't fill me with much hope - LeftBaggage doesn't allow different people to deposit and collect, naturally.

Caveat - I'm not saying it's done already, or a certainty etc. - go vote, whatever your proclivities...
But, since you turned of voting age...is this the most foregone conclusion election? Certainly is for me, in terms of polling and public expectation. 2010 was my first as I am 33 years young. Summaries below for the 3 major parties in England:
Got a love hate relationship with coffee as I've had palpable physical anxiety over the years, but still love the stuff, especially cold brew in summer. Anyway, got a spending app recently and noticed I was spending a bomb on the stuff when I went into the office (3x a week roughly), and on the weekend too when I'm out and about.
So thought I'd make my own cold brew (lol). Bought a Hario jug/filter thing and started last night - was skeptical, but wow, tastes great!
So looking for tips for making your own cold brew (how long to brew it, to dilute or not to dilute, bean recs etc.)...? Cheers in advance.
I have a +1 to an Everyman screening of the brilliant new TV series RIPLEY, with a live Q+A between Edith Bowman and Andrew Scott afterwards as part of her Soundtracking podcast. You'd have to come with me, unfortunately.
