It is absolutely impossible to accurately budget a project as big and lengthy as HS2. Yes, it was way off, but Covid and wars could not be accounted for. They have cut it off because of spiralling costs out of their control. You can't argue it is too expensive and complain that it's been cut...

Heck was having a right chin wag with Baron Mervyn King in front of the dug outs pre match on Sunday. He was pointing at the Witton Lane Stand a lot. Obviously I couldn't hear the conversation, but read into that what you will.

China haven't got an established, in grained fossil fuel system serving the entire country that needs to be changed. They also have the biggest economy in the world coupled with horrendous workers and human rights and serious inequality, amongst a host of other issues. That said, we are...

It's all very simple. The higher the population, the more polluted the world gets (mostly due to food production). From a UK perspective, as a highly developed country, we do not have natural population growth. The only reason the UK population has risen is due to immigration. Not saying we stem...

In reference to the comment above, I say this to young lads everyday, as does everyone else. Ignore it, work hard, keep your head down, be a good person... But I will say they are the only section of society that get told this. Instead of just banging that drum relentlessly and telling them...

I could spend all night listing wonderful things about England and the English, there is so much to be proud of. I can't think of a country that comes close to competing pound for pound with England.

First band I ever saw live, at The Hummingbird. Still one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

I find myself defending days, months and events all the time. I do so by giving them justification on the grounds that those who have them have suffered or been oppressed previously (international women's day, Pride, black history month etc...) I tell the young white men I work with that they...

I've seen this posted in numerous places now. The line is drawn exactly where it should be, the edge of the blue line is the Utd players toe. The red line is the edge of the Coventry players. It's absolutely spot on. Yes I know it's ruined the underdog fairy tale story, and one of the most...

I would describe Rogers as (hopefully) a trouble-free Stan Collymore. He appears to have everything you could want in a player and I am very excited about what he may become. Also reminds me of Jude Bellingham, think its too late for him to make the euros but could be a good bet for the next...

Is it an obscure company? They also sponsor FC Porto.

Solihull (x 3 houses)

I've worked with people younger than me who take the piss. One bloke I worked with never did a full week, and made no secret that he wasn't ill, just couldn't be arsed. Management never did a thing about it. When he was in he'd have a 10 fag breaks and a 1 hour poo every day!! A girl once asked...

It's definitely a society issue that has been developed I think from the start of the new millenium. My dad did not have a day off sick in 44 years working for the same company. As a result I had to be on deaths door to get a day off school and I've taken that into my work, never had more than a...

Que sera sera, lets put the champagne on ice We're going to Athens twice!

Not saying I'm a Truss or a Trump fan, but simply based on the evidence we have, a genuine question: Was the world not a safer place when Trump was POTUS?

Just did but closed before saving. Deceipt was 63%!! That was the highest one.

I once held a door open for a woman and she had a go at me, calling me sexist. I was too gobsmacked to respond, by the time I had gathered my thoughts she was gone. Nowadays I don't hold doors open for women I don't know, I'm too scared. I still hold em open for blokes obviously. This was back...

Did you see that scouse bloke who has become the oldest man in the world (111 I think)? When asked the secret he said "fish and chips every Friday, and never exert yourself, do everything in moderation." This was a huge relief to me. I immediately cancelled the plans I've had (for 30 years) of...

Nice one Ian McKaskill. This aged well. I've got the fecking heating on now!! Always remember, one swallow does not make a summer. (Although it can certainly make your evening)
