  1. We have one in a bedroom. With a carbon monoxide detector as recommended by fitter as a precaution.
  2. I know what you are saying - Its easier to understand if you think outside England. England has a bit more turnover than Spain Germany etc. Noone wants Barca or Bayern to be in Pot 2. And the evidence that they do give a shit about the smaller teams in Platini's decision a few years ago to have (in the qualifying rounds and play offs) a champions route whereby champions of smaller countries (Israel / Scotland / Poland / Ireland) play each other rather than playing a fourth place team from the big leagues - eg Man City. Without that I doubt Celtic would be in the group stages - neither would Legia Warsaw. It would eventually be big league teams only if it had been allowed to continue.
  3. I get yours - I'm not sure you get mine - which is UEFA's thinking. They are trying to ensure the group chances are fair for all four teams in each group, not some more heavily weighted than others and they believe that more than just last years performances is the best way to achieve it. I agree with them - its a bit like, form is temporary class is permanent.

  5. If you are a habitual domestic league winner (eg Barca) and that habitual winner happens to drop a place in their domestic league it doesn't stop you being a pot 1 team. We wouldn't want Barcelona to be a pot two team - what chance would the pot 3 and pot 4 teams have with a pot 1 team (eg Bayern or Real Madrid) + Barca in the group? That's why its done over a longer period and considered fair - its fair to the other teams in the group.
  6. They might not be going anywhere, but I suspect a lot of their customers will be. It's better to be proactive than reactive, too late co-op maybe.

Oooh. Powder dry but now in the CL proper. Oooh. And a star on the shirt too. Have a look at yours.
  8. But its not just Celtic fans now. Some of the comments are interesting: one here from a rangers fan Josh Mainka I might support the team from the other side of the city, but having spent time in Gaza and Palestine I'm more than happy to contribute to your great cause. Total respect to Celtic fans for taking a stand https://www.gofundme.com/matchfinepalestine
  9. The fund is now over ?100k.
  10. I recently spent ages trying to brighten the screen on the relatively new sooper dooper TV, that wasn't exuding its usual brightness and clarity, before realising I was wearing my sunglasses.
  11. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/aug/23/celtic-fans-have-you-donated-money-to-palestinian-charities There are lots of angles here. Politics and sport shouldn't be mixed. But anti apartheid protests at sport played a big role Celtic fans have sported occasional Palestinian flags for years Its a lot of money for the palestinian refugee charity Its a motivation to the Isreali team for tonight Its not going to go down well with the Islreali support, so there could be trouble Uefa might lodge a bigger fine as the charitable donation is now high profile
  12. Sacre bleu.

    It's not new and in my experience seems a bit left wing.

  16. I have realised that if England don't win another World Cup before this coming Saturday, that it will be 50 years since they last won it. Better get their skates on.
  17. Great radio programme on at the moment about 1966. About an hour still to go. 5 Live.
  18. Foxy - I've seen you do serious damage when you are angry..... leave it, leave it... You must know when you are being wound up???

    Empty Shops

    It seems the old shop unit next to William Rose has a sold sign - that might not be news, but it was to me.

I was about to agree with this 100% - but then there are postcodes that do marginally better than others in a rising or falling market depending on current popularity of the area.
  21. I like everything as formal as possible. Love it.
  22. Don't start until everyone's food is served. Food doesn't go cold in thirty seconds. The last person to sit down is often the host, who has had to cook the food - its common decency to wait until the host is seated, unless the host says he / she would prefer everyone started. Even then I personally would probably wait.
  23. I think there is an element of truth in the OP....
  24. Tonight gentlemen England will be playing 4 - 4 - F***ING - 2
