I feel your pain. Last week I had the usual shit trying to get into SJP. Downloaded my ticket into my wallet, verified it was there, then when I got to the turnstyle it had disappeared and I couldn't get in. Couldn't find it anywhere, but had the e-mail etc as proof. They used to let you in under such circumstances but not now apparently. They couldn't find it either, but they found last seasons Man city ticket archived and insisted I was trying to pull a fast one. Told me to go the box office, told them that would mean missing the first half of the match and told them to fuck off. Massive queue forming behind me. Eventually they called over some tech savvy person who found the ticket (don't know how, suspect Google had incorrectly archived it, but I still can't see it) and I got in, to ironic cheers behind me. I mean I know I'm getting on a bit, but why the fuck does it have to be like this? I thought technology would get easier to use as we enter this new dystopian age but NOTHING FUCKING WORKS as it should do. Take my fucking "smart" meters. I'm personally finding a lot of apps are now worse at communicating than they used to be. There's empirical evidence Google is worse at searching than it used to be but they don't give a fuck as they have a monopoly, much like NUFC has. So aye, good luck.

65k seems right to me from a commercial viewpoint. Slightly lower supply will induce demand through fear of missing out (FOMO) factors and encourage day trippers to upgrade. As soon as there are gaps people will pick and choose when they come. Fuck me, I'm a hard nosed business bitch.

Really sorry to hear that HMHM, sounds like a really awful situation you're in. Sounds like a work from home job would be ideal for you but I know that's probably not an option. Wish I could give you my job tbh.

Love it. Let me finish this off withouth the need for AI: How man the morale of this story therefore is, When life is all take and never seems to give, Hey man never forget you're ying to their yang, Thank fuck at least you weren't born a massive lad's fan.

Job's a good un.

ChatGPT man. It terrifies me how good it is. My job's getting replaced before CT's is through the roll out of autonomous taxis at this rate.

It's fairly implicit like, valuing CL participation over a competition we would have a good chance of actually winning.

Always jam tomorrow though. Say we get in the CL next year, same problem. We can't win it and it will impact on our league form. Plus now there is no option to use it to drop to the EL. Are people really happy with us never winning a trophy?

No, because given the quality of the opposition we could rotate our squad more effectively. Maybe we would have strengthened more given the extra workload, who knows. I'd prioritise it over the domestic cups too. The only thing that matters to me at this stage is winning something. This was our best bet.

Depends what you mean by best option. I think Cleverley or Tugenhat would be best for the conservative party regarding it coming out the wilderness. I don't want that though. A tory party led by Badenoch would also just be a constant source of amusement. Thankfully the way they choose their leaders all but guarantees they will not have any electoral success.

Dunno. Asthma diagnosis and nearly an old cunt I'm guessing.

Me and this thread now.

Crazy talk. Us winning a trophy is the most important net good thing. As ON says, we would have had a really good chance here, its shite we've missed it.

I've had the invite too. I am feeling this is quite a hollow boast tbh.

Sorry.

Or Starmer is getting bad news out early? Almost 5 years until the next GE man, who cares about polls at the moment? Getting things in order now will lead to improvements in the 5 year timeframe, in theory, in time for the next GE. I do agree with most your post but not about Farage. There is absolutely no way he will ever be PM. The higher he climbs, the more scrutiny he is under, and his beliefs on the NHS come to the fore as well as everything else, like him being a Putin stooge. He would horrify half the tory voting base. No point in comparing us to America and Trump, there is no equivalence imo.

Definitely my preferred option. Can the issue with buidling on Leazes park be solved? I mean, if they convert the current SJP footprint into a linked pocket park, I can literally see no downsides with the plan. It would be great for Leazrs Terrace too which would be opened up to face the new park on both sides. For those reasons, surely objections would be limited and the listing status cancelled?

I saw this too, loved the bit at the end when one pensioner said (paraphrasing) "Maybe they think we will forget by next election, we won't. Or maybe they think we'll be dead". Fun fact (that has been fact checked). There are more penioners today who are technically millionaires than there are who are in poverty.

Not sure about the title. Definitely got the team names the wrong way round, but I like the team names. However, what's all this King shit Gloomy's currently drunk on? Getting shades of Chez Given's mod days. I just don't think these Metropolitan London elite types can help themselves. On a warning.

I was being wined and dined last night by my American bosses. Least they could do for making me miss the match, although arguably that was a favour given the lack of goals. Anyway, they were terrified about the prospect of a Trump presidency. I pointed out so were we.

Jenrick is more dangerous with his ECHR obsession, not that either would be elected. He's such a grown up too, listen what he said abour Miliband today.

Maybe Bilbao tops count?

Actually sperms is formed just a few weeks from conception. Your egg would have been in your mums ovary however, just waiting for Dazzler senior's tadpoles. In fact when a woman is pregnant with a daughter, she has her potential grandchildrens' eggs inside her.

Mebbes three weekends time would be better.

Are they making net losses though? They must still make a fortune through corporate match day events and international marketing.
