South Africa have a younger population and are currently in their Summer. We know both play major affects.

Aye, but SA roughly  24% of their population are living with HIV according to reports, and we know how much that lowers the immune system even with medication, so its swings and roundabouts really.  

Taking merc and red bull  out of the equation, what were the knockon effects to those drivers in position 6 7 8 9 and 10? Or don't they count, is it just about Lewis and Max

In my mind the rules have not been followed and that decision should be reversed. If they wanted racing give Lewis and Max 1 lap both on softs and slug it out and don't interfere with the rest of the drivers.

Cheers - thanks - have to say as an emergency option Proton (I think it is Proton not Photon) email was a GREAT shout - dead easy to set up and really easy to navigate - on a basic level it does what I need with options to pay a little and get more should I need to - really good shout thanks

Sorry for the typo with the email, yep really good email, I like the fact its all encrypted, it's my go to email system for all important correspondence, so much better than the usual mail client suspect, glad it's of use to you.

One for the people that know computers and email!

Somehow I have an obscure email address ending btconnect.com - it is a Business email but I had it 25 years ago, I have no business or even BT Broadband but it still works fine set up in a Microsoft outlook set up which I know and like.

I move house next week and worry that it might not be recognised (it might be who knows) but all by paperwork is in there and so if I lose access I will be in a pickle!

I am wondering if I should open a gmail account or something and ping what I might need there just in case - but I don't know if gmail or Yahoo or whoever it is is the best alternative email option - any thoughts?

It won't harm setting up another account to fire emails across to. Likewise outlook may be setup to download your emails to your device anyway, so you may have a local copy.

Take a look at your outlook account settings, make a note of the pop3 and imap settings.

As long as you are taking your computer with you it really shouldn't matter, so all of the above is just run of the mill stuff you should be checking and noting down.

Photon email might be a good bet, very secure compared to others on the market, probably a good one to move to anyway.

I’d recommend  Saniflo.  I’d also recommend a plumber who knows hat he is doing regarding installation.  If you have any issues and it’s installed correctly.  Saniflo will come and sort out any issues after the first 3 years of installing. 

Ah yes they will, if they have anyone available in the area, you could wait months. I would suggest not going near them with a barge pole from personal experience. I can't complain a about the install, I would massively complain about reliability, customer service and after sales service of Saniflo   

Woeful, left with out a working toilet for 4 months, and if you get someone to look at it who is not saniflo trained the warranty is invalidated.. you may as well invalidate it and get it looked at rather than wait for Saniflo.  Shocking company imo.

Anybody ever fitted one? Seems quite simple but can you connect the 'waste' output to your domestic waste pipe under the sink or does it have to go into the main drain?

Mrs wants another toilet even though we've already got 2. 

Any advice would be more than welcome.

Never fitted one but my parents had one a friend had one and they are more trouble then they are worth and will end up costing you a load when they break down, and of course they can only be looked at by trained professionals accredited by the company that makes them, and those are few and far between, so when t goes tits up you could be waiting weeks. And of course if you don't use the specific solution, then your warranty is void as well, which adds to the reassuring expensive bog.  If you do not absolutely need one, then steer well clear.

Was the 3 knockdown rule part of the fight. The bell may of saved Fury in rd 4 if it was.

To be honest, a very very slow count, I think it was 15 seconds may well have saved him on the 2nd knockdown I expect Wilder is a tad pissed off (deserved or not).  I would like to know if Fury was making the most of the count, or if he was in fact saved by it. Only he will know.

Anecdote, I remember jacki out on the wing, I can't remember who the opponent was but I clearly remember him saying "you might as we give me the ball now, you're shit" and then taking the piss out of the the player waltzing around him time and time again until the player was subbed.

Top notch. Was wondering if Cole mentioned him in the same light as Jacki, who for the record, have some amazing memories - will always remember some of that magic 

I haven’t read the book, but Cole hates Sheringham for blanking him when coming on as a sub for England, I'm not sure if I have ever heard any praise from Cole about him other than he was a talented player.

1 minute ago, Rossi the Robin said:

In the early 90’s we played Forest away in an FA cup tie, we lost 4-1. I believe Jacki was playing that day and Cole.

The best player by a mile was from Teddy Sherringham and I’d say that’s the best player I’ve seen live ever from that day 

Famously Cole and Teddy never got on - I’d imagine that’s an interesting read in his book

I remember him bagging a hattrick against us playing for Millwall. Good player. I think Collymore for forest might have been better imo. He tore us a new one!

He was just before my time. Was he really head and shoulders in terms of ability above the likes of Noble, JET and Tomlin? All three had incredible natural ability but also never delivered on a regular basis. I feel the highlights reel from those three may exceed Jacki, but could well be wrong. 

Interested to know your opinion.... 

Yep, I think so. These guys were good, Jacki for me was far more aware of things going around him and had that natural first touch you can't teach. He was also quite slow and not exactly athletic, but his ability to get away from an appointment through pure skill was something to behold. And you have to remember he was playing at a time when a two footed challenge from behind was quite acceptable, where as the others you mention didn't have to worry about that so much. As a flair player up until about 95, you had to have something about you that many today don't have (not their fault, it's a different era) that said strikers and flair players of bygone era had it tougher, but I wasn't around to witness that!

We don’t agree on much, but this, every day of the week.

Absolute myth, he had about 5 good games for us.

Watched him on several occasions stand around for 90 minutes & contribute absolutely nothing, especially in a 4-0 hammering at Twerton.

Probably the most overrated player in the club’s history, I’m convinced many of those who rave on about him never saw him play.

As for the comparison with Adomah, truly hilarious, Albert never stopped working for the team, Dziekanowski never started.

He was a Maverick very lazy, not a team player.  But skill wise he was head and shoulders over any player we have has since.

We have had plenty of players that get stuck in for the team, unfortunately I rarely mention any of them and some I have completely forgotten.  But a pisshead lazy slacker still lives with me.  why?  Outrageous skill, its what I paid to go and watch, not many players I can say that about, even if it was only momentary flashes of brilliance.

I am fully aware of all his limits, but that is not why I loved the bloke, it was the fleeting pure genius bit of play that are etched in my memory.

Maverick Genius, hence we are still talking about him now, good or bad.

Of course, Boris (not that Boris) won Wimbledon as an unseeded 17 year old in 1985. He'd only turned pro the year before.

Yep its very close to being the same sort of result the achievement along with a few handful won it at a very young age was outstanding. I guess the difference being he didn't have to qualify to make the grand slams, he was already doing well enough and highly enoughed ranked to make the first round proper.  But what a player he was at that young age. Fantastic.

I just personally think Douglas (unheard of) knocking out Tyson, the most feared sportsman on the planet at that point is a truly great underdog story. His Mother also died 3 weeks before the fight. 

It's personal choice I suppose

I don't disagree, cracking achievement.  that said I am not sure a fully functioning Tyson would have been wallowing around on the floor trying to put his gum shield in, he would have hammered him to the canvass in the first 1 or 2 rounds.

I just don't think the achievement is the same, as all us boxing fans know, a big heavyweight on any given day can knock another heavyweight out, it the nature of the beast and its why there are so many shocks in the boxing world.  nail someone with a big punch with their jaw slightly unlocked, time for tubby bye byes

Also the disrespect towards Mike Tyson - if you had seen him between 85 and 88 he was a true monster, most fighters beaten before they stepped into the ring. Douglas wasn't a big name at all and knocked Tyson out. Remarkable for me

Exactly, nauseating for sure.

it wasn't disrespect, Tyson before and after Cus was a very different human being.  And most certainly a very different boxer, very sad to see.  I maintain When he fought Douglas he was a junkie drunk and admitted so himself later in life,, so no disrespect what so ever

Also other posters mentioning immigration and pointless political point scoring over a fabulous win is sad to see

amen to that, time to celebrate a brit winning a top title, it doesn't happen often

Yep Goran on grass with that serve and forehand,  like you say a punchers chance. He'd already had a great career.

No-one has burst onto the scene like this, it's her second Slam ffs. 

Who's that guy in golf that won the Open this year? Suppose it's similar-ish to that? Edit: Morikawa

aye, that is probably as close as you are going to get.  any you quoted me before I realised Goran had not won before his wild card, I remember he had got to the final a couple of times, maybe 3 and lost em all and that's what made it a great win, too quick off the mark for me Kid :laugh:

Greece 2004, Leicester 15/16, Goran Ivanisevic Wimbledon 2001, Denmark 1992, Lille in Ligue 1 last season if you understand their financial situation, Tyson vs Buster Douglas... Plenty of them imo and maybe a bit of Football orientated bias

Footballing minnows Scotland drawing 0-0 with England at Wembley in June. 

none of those are really close 3 of them have team mates backing them up while playing at the same level, Ivanisavic had already been far at wimbeldon and had experience when he got his wildcard chance 2 or 3 finals i reckon, and one had a punchers chance against a rapidly fading junkie drunk.

Scotland? hahaha. I know you put that in there for the giggles

Leicester winning the PL springs to mind of course, but I think this is greater still. Certainly in an individual sport, I can’t think of anything that comes close.

In footballing terms it would be like Millwall wining the cup winners cup after losing in the FA cup a fews year back  while in the championship.

Even then, no team mates to back her up, the closest I can think is Becker winning his first Slam, but he wasn't a qualifier.   This properly goes down in history
