This is incredible, only just been reading about it. Ryan Burge got a pilot licence just to fly over Vale Park mocking their relegation a few weeks ago because Micky Adams upset him in 2013. A bell cheese at work but also an inspirational level of delayed pettiness...

This might be a bug in market data - it's showing everywhere but presumably they all use the same source...if it's not a glitch though this feels like it might huge for the global financial system. Berkshire-Hathway prop up a lot, and I think a lot of what they hold is used as collateral too...

Won by a boy from Derbyshire. This is surely a competition we should be entering so we can have our own "champions of Europe" song? https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/23/boy-9-from-derbyshire-wins-gull-screeching-competition

I don't think this has been done yet. Two to kick it off: God's Footballer - Billy Bragg's song about Peter Knowles. And Cristiano Ronaldo from the 4 Blocks soundtrack. I have LITERALLY NO IDEA what the lyrics are saying but it sounds a bit grumpy.

Have you ever read a book that seemed a little bit prophetic? What are the books of now that tell a convincing vision of the future? I've just read about this https://openai.com/sora - AI generated video. And it reminded me of a novel I read in the late 80s that I just spent an hour finding out...

For the past two or three years I've kicked off a thread on this and each time it's seemed to be a useful place for people to share how they are feeling, positive or not so positive, whether looking forward to Christmas or looking forward to it all being over, and to get advice, support, and...

It's lunchtime, and it's too long until the next game so I thought I'd start a mundane thread on mundane celebrity encounters. As in, the encounter being mundane but if the celebrity is too that's also enough to pass the time. Conversation/interaction has to have taken place, so I once sat...

Kevin Prince Boateng on RDZ... Starts at 46m40s - a lot of love:

As we've (allegedly) been on the receiving end of players downing tools it's reassuring to see even the Champions of Europe have the same issue. While it beggars belief anyone can think there's a bigger or better club than Leeds to move to, it's interesting to see Leeds publicly call out the...

This might be a true tumbleweed thread but Norwich play Hull on Saturday, which means Krul, Duffy and Barnes potentially lining up against Connolly. What's the most number of ex-Brighton players that have played in the same game? (Hull also have an Estupinan but he doesn't seem to be related...

Apologies if fixtures. This is just for May and is frankly ridiculous. Blimey, crikey, and if you'll pardon my French, unglaublich.

‘Opponents come up to us saying, you guys are bopping it’ https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/apr/21/danny-welbeck-brighton-manchester-united-fa-cup-semi-finals-de-zerbi Sounds like he's loving it.

I've never particularly been a fan of Nick Cave's music, though lived very near him in Hove for a while and became nodding acquaintances briefly, much to the chagrin of one of my mates who says he is her all time hero and would give anything to meet him. Anyway, ages ago I subscribed to his Red...

We all know RdZ celebrates players with balls. Big balls. Presumably our glorious leader will have some metric he uses to judge whether a player is displaying sufficiently large balls or not, but who do we think has the biggest? I'd argue Solly's pendulous orbs have grown the most extravagantly...

Similar to the Man Utd one they did last season I think...

Would appreciate advice from the great minds here! We had a PCP agreement on a car which we traded in with a large local firm in early December. All good. I won't name them yet just in case by some chance they actually act appropriately. The agreement we have with the finance company expires on...

I started a thread like this last year and it was, I think, helpful for some. 1st December seems an appropriate time to re-open it. Quite a few people talked about not enjoying Christmas for all sorts of reasons, about struggling, and about how their mental health takes a battering more than any...

Interesting to see Britain has a markedly higher respect for the ferocity of an enraged goose.

Don't want to get into the politics of it but the impact of the strikes carrying on into Friday is financially, and in terms of stress too, massively inconvenient. Is there a way to get to London Victoria from anywhere round here by 6.30am other than a 2.50am National Express coach from...

We're on Virgin Media for t'internet as they are the only people who do fibre where we live at the moment and they convinced us that with 2 of us working from home pretty much full time with a soul-crushing amount of work on Zoom calls, and one here hammering Netflix on top of that through...
