The offside rule is to stop goal- hanging. There's no physical possibility of the human senses and brain being able to detect someone being Milimetres offside. We just can't focus on both the offside line and judge when the ball is leaving the attacker's foot at the same time. There's always going to be tenths of a second between seeing one and the other. And the technology doesn't have high enough resolution, both picture quality and timewise, to determine it. The concept of being Milimetres offside is a nonsense.

Going against the grain

the absence of a new stadium will really hurt us here.

Don't involve me in your lovers' tiff. I don't give a shit about Kruschev

I started by coveting what i see every day

You can admit when you don't understand something you know

You mean "nominal terms" not "absolute terms". Real terms is much more meaningful as the value of £1 is determined by what it can buy not what number it's denominated in. It's not a perfect metric and open to interpretation (eg do you use CPI or the GDP deflator) but it's far less arbitrary than the number of currency units of declining value (declining at a variable rate). Your example of mortgages is just wrong. The measure is like for like, not tracking the pay progress of an individual through their career. Mortgage rates haven't gone down but have gone up and house prices have gone up by more than inflation, so a new teacher, nurse or Junior Doctor today will have to spend more not less out of their take home pay than in 2010.

It's not meant to be a heart-warming learning experience for the viewers. It's a mean spirited laugh at the twats. More making them cry i say.

Football violence will never end as long as they're shitting in our shoes and we're pissing in their bovril.

The whole thing about senior NHS consultants could be solved by changing the rules that make superannuation payments compulsory on NHS contracts. Not saying that's the best solution but it is a possibility.

What's the point in having all that Nazi gold if they don't use it?

I'd save your hypothetical rage for what happens if we appoint Jack Ross. Backwards step imo. I'd be livid. We should lynch the board, just in case.

I see PCS were out at Companies House today. That will be a massive inconvenience for absolutely no one. Tooted the horn anyway though, they’re trying, bless ‘em.

Sometimes a butchered phrase is more appropriate to its time. I really liked Joe Swash on I’m a celebrity confidently stating that “you should always judge a book by its cover”. Hidden depths are out of fashion, so despite being a blithering idiot, he was still right.

This is really good stuff. Like, really good. Wow!

I've been on the fence. I'm now convinced it shouldn't be Robson.

Will listen later but the artwork is encouraging.

I didn't want to admit to a salad and hadn't thought it through. "Rocket, watercress and baby leaf spinach" doesn't scan as well either.

Not exactly the same but i read an article about "enshittification" yesterday. I quite liked that one.

First budget leak is a nice bit of tax relief for millionaires. The people's party

Again? The "banter managers" thread is long overdue

Looks like America is going to back all deposits with a very generous loan scheme. No indication that they'll be taking any more of the profits for the society that's going to bear the liquidity risk. I'd imagine the Tories are quite aroused by the lack of media attention it's getting and are furiously scribbling it into the budget so they'll never pay for lunch in the city again.
