Ah, grammatically the headline gives no clues, and indicates actually how Wills was containing his junk (or otherwise).

To clarify, it states: Mel B MBE: “I got my gong from William..wearing no knickers”

This means Wills had no scanties on. If Mel Bs knicker wearing status was to be stated, the headline should read: “While wearing no knickers, I got my gong from William”

So, what have we learnt?

- The future king appears to be less of a sexual deviant than his uncle, as he doesn’t wear ladies pants

- The Sun are rubbish at all facets of journalism
 

 

 

It's not a high bar to be fair.

Update on this. As I can't sleep 

Work decided yesterday would be the day to sack me for good measure.

Tremendous 

Imagine working for a company whose main point of business is to keep people in employment longer, by managing health conditions, sacking someone because of  shoulder and neck issues, that they've never bothered to investigate properly amongst a raft of other ironies. 

Stress is for the weak, apparently *rolleyes*

 

What type of work did you do and what experience do you have (if you don't mind sharing that info). There are a broad range of people on here working in many different industries, so someone may know of jobs going that may suit you. If you are looking for work that is.

I was saying without the dropped points we’d be second in the league. We would. 
Essentially I was asking exactly that question but underlining it by drawing peoples attention to exactly how many points this ‘habit’ has cost us so far in this campaign. 
I’m disappointed that you don’t like the wording of my post. 
 

But you've taken 1 set of data, for 1 team and ignored everything else that has happened to every other team for the whole season, to create your 'second' position. It's nonsense.

Fwiw I don't think it can be (entirely due to) a lack of ability. It's either a mental frailty that shows in the last quarter or possibly a lack of fitness that the opposition are seizing on. 

Maybe I'm just getting old, but I preferred the days when only 1 stat mattered. The final score!

About to post something similar. 

I know what the OP means though. It would be interesting to see a league table of point dropped after being in front. I’d bet we’d be top of that league.;

A simple 'Why are we so sh!t in the last 15?' would be better and generate discussion. The op essentially says 'without the dropped points we'd be in the Prem next year'. Which is, frankly, absurd.

Now deduct the points we have fought back from losing positions and where are we? Cant have it both ways I'm afraid.

And add / deduct all the points won and lost by all other teams to make the table have any meaning at all. The whole premise of the thread is so skewed as to make no sense.

Hang on. Hang on.

Are people genuinely suspicious that there could be a cabal of second division referees organising to ensure that Bristol City never get a penalty, and in doing so are possibly benefiting from some sort of insider info or betting ring? 

It does appear that LoyalRed has been lending his big book of conspiracy theories to other forummers.

Indeed. No parachute payments to blame this week so back to 'It's the ref's fault'!

Check the image in the below link:

Use the left and right buttons on the steering wheel and up/down if needed to get the display.

You can see the line in the middle of eco which means top end motor effort.

Got it. I'd seen that before but had no idea what it was

You can run the motor up to 80 mph, but is subject to effort and charge. Charge isn't normally an issue, it's inclines. The previous generation was only 47 mph.

Don't know if you have noticed it, but there's a display on your instrument cluster which shows a power bar. The power bar in "Eco" has a line half way across it. The bar raises the more you put your foot on the throttle pedal. Keep it below the half way line in Eco and it can work quite well off the motor.

Not sure if you're aware

Which menu is that in? Is it in the info app?

I've got the Corolla self-charging hybrid. 1.8 petrol but anything up to about 25mph and it runs on electric. Also, running down the motorway it keep switching the engine off and using the EM too. No need to charge it so seems like the best of both worlds. Would love to go full electric sometime soon though.

Anyone remember the days when games did actually end on 90 minutes regardless of injuries etc?

I'm not imagining that am I ?

I've been watching football for 50 years and don't remember that.

Can we have one week without scapegoating someone?

We've played well but haven't tested their keeper enough. It'll come, COYR.

No parachute payments or referee to blame today. Someone has to get it.

I thought that Truro were going to be the next big thing a few years back, new stadium shared with Cornish Pirates. What happened to all that?

The club's owner's business went into freefall iirc. Think he stopped ploughing money into them. Shame really as I think Cornwall would really get behind a league club.

It’s illegal to park at junctions anyway, isn’t it? This just clarified it for the idiots who do it.

Yeah, it's illegal to park with 32ft of a corner anyway, this is just a visual reminder for dim people.

6 - 2 again.

Makes me sick to be honest. What’s the point?

Oh no, another club is doing well, let's all just give up.

Well I did and you pretty much said stop blaming parachute payments.

That wasn't your point. You wondered if I agreed with them, my response was 'not really'.

Just now, AppyDAZE said:

You have to imagine he does. How on earth could anyone think it isn't a huge factor. 

You can imagine, yes. Alternatively you could read my response.

Out of curiosity. Do you agree with parachute payments?

Not particularly. But there is nothing unfair about them either, they are available to any relegated club. Throughout the divisions I believe.

Whereas people who say it's all Nige's fault EVERY SINGLE MATCH are ok.....cos you agree with them?

Not at all, I never mentioned him. Just pointing out how tiresome and predictable some of the comments are.

Erm Derby, Blackburn, Luton and Coventry seem to be doing OK?

Perhaps they have a better coach?

Blackburn are doing very well without any parachute payments, but it wouldn't be a matchday thread without many people trotting out.

1. IT'S ALL THE REF'S FAULT!

2. BUT PARACHUTE PAYMENTS,  IT'S NOT FAIR!

Every. Single. Match.

This could be 10.

And somehow it'll still be the ref's fault.

Watching Leeds v Arsenal. Interesting to see that Leeds aren't being treated as a big team any more. All decisions going Arsenal's way. Mind you with Andre Marriner on the pitch and Michael Oliver in the VAR box anything is possible.

I seriously worry whether it's worth getting to the "promised land"?

Heading rapidly towards league 1 = Premier League? - never fancied her anyway!
