  1. After I was lucky enough to take early retirement I signed on at several schoolsand colleges as a seasonal exam invigilator. I was quite shocked how the exam standards fell over a relatively short time. Particularly in the GCSE English language papers. First the instructions by a member of staff at the beginning included "You don't have to worry too much about the grammar, i.e. punctuation. " and a couple of years later spelling was added to the "not important" instructions. This might be a great way to raise exam grades but as for keeping the standards high?
  2. Do we assume he supports Sunderland?
  3. The memorial amphitheatre in Horfield?
  4. I keep looking at the title and wondering if it was an alternative to "Anything for the weekend, sir"?
  5. 137 - 4 rain stop play again!
  6. Also "they felt contact so they were entitled to go down." Depends which team, player, referee I suppose?
  7. I'd certainly be interested to see the pundits ref a few matches without all the replays and without VAR too. They could then share both their experiences and their excuses. Perhaps they could also do a stint in the VAR box aswell and share their reasons for their decisions?
  8. Shires in for Downsey?
  9. Didn't Joe play left wing and then making him a left back became an LJ project?
  10. Perhaps for £500 we could pick the team that week and our name could be announced at the beginning of the match!
  11. I've always tried to compare my parents' music to mine and like you I can't get over the changes that must have evolved in the 50s/60s. My kids' music tastes have become quite eclectic and they range from ours in the 60s/70s to present day. I could never have included my parents' choices from 30s/40s/50s! Joe Loss and Victor Sylvestor were never my thing! ?
  12. I don't think our conversion rate from corners is that good as witnessed yesterday.
  13. Anyone think that Burnley under Kompany could be a good move for him?
  14. I noticed this and it was all the more disappointing knowing how he usually plays so yes it was worth a criticism. It reminded me of seasons not so long ago when 50/50 balls were deemed a lost cause by the players.
  15. And the 0 - 6 away win at Bradford that confirmed our promotion!
  16. I was going to ask if there had been any acknowledgement of his fime here.
  17. Straus has moved out, his strategy largely rejected.
  18. Shouldn't they be in the PL on merit rather than history. Otherwise there would be about 40 to 50 teams in the "promised land".
  19. Peaky blinder ultras?
