Its an 8 year old fridge! But its an Australian model, long story. But it makes sense, its hot there. Why let a load of hot air in when you only want milk.

I am eyeing up its replacement though which would be smart, can link to Alexa, also have cameras in so when in the shop you can look to see if you need milk etc! LOL

Surely the hatch is for VB Stubbies?

As I understood it... IF there are to be spectators at the FA Cup Final it would be limited to 25% of capacity and drawn from the 'local' area of Wembley... Not sure that is strictly 'fair' either but the alternative was remain empty with 'canned' cheering... Which I suspect will happen rather than be it subjected to full scale bickering on the twattersphere...

They should pick a neutral ground in the middle of the two clubs involved.
Some travelling yes but with only 25% capacity they could use a lower league ground to help them with their finances.

Ah, but 25% capacity of a lower league ground isn't very many people. 25% of Wembley is still a decent number to generate some atmosphere.

Can’t speak for other clubs but the vast majority of those who get Cup Final tickets from the club are Season Ticket holders or members allocated on an attendance basis.

What the FA do with their allocation is up to them.

Out of interest, have you been or is the knowledge second hand, so to speak?

But if each club gets an allocation of roughly 25,000 tickets, that still leaves 40,000 tickets for corporate hospitality / the "football family". That's a lot of prawn sandwiches.

There are no neutral stadiums between Old Trafford and The Etihad.

As I understood it... It was something being mooted to give the match some "real life atmosphere"...
It's not about picking something "neutral in the middle" as that would almost certainly involve travel and 'mingling' by folk from different areas...
Using 'neutral locals' was being suggested/considered as a way of circumventing the need to travel/mingle...

The sheer idiocy of his response says it all Dan! We locked down for them, but now they want to go out and meet on mass and us to stay in :ROFLMAO: Im good thanks! Ill come out when you do!

Im not asking for us to go first, im saying all at the same time. Just like golf has opened for us all at the same time. As will pubs and everything else.

"We" are not asking to go out en masse; " are not asking to go out first; "we" are not asking for anything, particularly not for others to stay in whilst "we" are let out. "We" are being told that there are plans for a vaccine passport, and because of the way the vaccinations have been administered, it would happen to fall that the older generation got that first. If you've got an issue with the fairness of it, maybe you need to address it to the Government, who are organising the vaccination programme. The older generation didn't ask for that any more than they asked to be the ones most likely to be killed by it. But it would be better if you didn't claim something that simply wasn't said.

If you consider there is an issue with my response, perhaps it would be a better idea to explain what is wrong with it, rather than making insulting comments about me to another poster? Perhaps you could explain what's so fundamentally wrong with the Silver Pound keeping stuff going when it can rather than watching it all go under whilst everyone waits for their second jab?

Hermes. Still haven't turned up despite the alleged 14:00 to 16:00 delivery slot today.

Luckily I have sourced alternative oils for my vegetables.

They tried to deliver it to my house. Wife has just got a message to say they tried to deliver it here but failed, all we have to do is click the link to track it down!

Great pun.




A wiser person double jabbed is still more likely to take up a hospital bed due to covid than someone under 40 with no medical problems and no jabs.

By your logic, whats been the point of the last year?
Click to expand...

The point of last year was to avoid the NHS being overwhelmed and causing a far greater death toll.

As regards your first comment, an older person doubled jabbed should have a vastly reduced chance of becoming seriously ill, and I believe has reduced ability to transmit the virus, so I'm not sure that your comment is correct.

Given what my family believes about this virus and age through personal circumstances I'll leave it there, but if you can find it in you to stop telling me how much safer the younger generation are, I'd be grateful.
