Re: Football (not Premier League)

Another wonderful advert for football - what chaos will (some of) the Czech fans bring to the Euros? "The Czech Cup final was marred with ugly scenes of violence between supporters of Sparta Prague and Viktoria Plzen after fans rushed the pitch after the final whistle at the Doosan Arena."...

Re: Premier League 2024-25

“How has it eluded us”? Quite simple - you’ve changed managers more often than most bar girls change their knickers, so the new manager has no time to get his team playing as a cohesive unit!! But we've been doing that ever since Abramovich took over in 2003(?). So many seasons where we had two man...

Re: One dead as airplane makes an emergency landing in Suvarnabhumi

I'm with caller on this one - I enjoy (or did) a walk around when needed/possible and always buckled up whilst seated. I think the latter was just habit as if I ever nodded off on the rare occasion, I always seemed to be woken up to buckle up anyway!! I've been caught in some extreme turbulence over...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

Personally I'm quite a way from trusting the technology. Yes, the "Jagwire" :wink: in the video is impressive, but even around town/city streets with lower speed limits, I'd be bloody nervous- let alone on higher speed main roads and motorways. A while back I test drove a Model S Tesla whi...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

^ Yes, I'd agree. There's certainly been some trials, but personally I believe we're a fair few years off a truly reliable and safe system.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

^^ "It says deaths from drink driving, speeding, tiredness and 'inattention' will all be reduced as a result." But surely, the "driver" or at least the one in the driving seat should be capable of taking over should anything go amiss with the "self-driving system"? Some...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

Well, I've just finished S3 of Dark Matter. It's all subjective, of course, but for me it was excellent. HOWEVER ... the cliffhanger ending made it clear that there would be a season 4, but this never materialised. :cuss: :banghead: I realise I'm easily confused, but I'm still waiting for S1 Episod...

Re: 2024 F1 News and Prediction League

Well, after all the hope, it was sadly (for me anyway) another win for the dour Dutchman.... He and Red BS however, if not rattled, are not quite as comfortable as they have been - Norris was pushing to the end and finishing just 0.725 sec behind Crashappen. McLaren are certainly finding the speed a...

Well, it seems the Heavyweight Belts may not be unified or Usyk "Undisputed Champion" for long.... Unbelievable :banghead: "A rematch is in the works for October but it is unlikely to be for all four belts – the IBF plan to strip Usyk as he will not be facing its mandatory challenger...
