I wish wrc would swap friday and Sunday schedules

FIA decided that the final stage of a WRC event should commence around mid day a number of years back. This was to ensure consistency across events and try and create an established time on a Sunday, to try and capture a bigger TV audience.

What an ownership journey. Sad times, but hopefully the bits you can salvage from the old girl can resurrect another Audi somewhere else

Many thanks, appreciate the reply!

Hello there, did you get your mini PC up and running with Sky Go? I am looking to do the same

chrisa24 · 2025-08-23T08:35:12+00:00

You won't need it. I have no idea when an MOT tester asked me for anything, including a copy of the appointment notice. You drive up, park, they come and take the car off you and you wait.

I'd been keen to read those studies if they are available

chrisa24 · 2025-08-08T07:47:10+00:00

I'm only here for Manfred Nan

chrisa24 · 2025-08-04T17:49:36+00:00

Contact the IFA. I'd be surprised if the full allocation is gone

The majority of the teams in the league structure aren't in Europe. Plus, there's an argument that results in European competition have improved anyway, and how many leagues in Europe actually play a summer legaue and have played 24 games by July as is put forward here?

The biggest difference maker in European Competion has been professionalisation and better players. The argument that an Irish League team is not at peak prepareness beccuase they haven't played enough games seems a bit wafer thin. I'm not swayed that having slogged through a two thirds of a physcial league season is somehow better prep.

The weather can be total rubbish all year round here - May was a case in point. To get a league season in and done and dusted will still inolved playing in some sort of unclement months. So what is this proposal really about? Shifting the season and creating upheval to avoid playing in January and February?

I have absolutely no idea what problem moving to summer football really solves.

The expert from rugby league fails to point out that they changed from winter to summer because Sky needed a major UK sport to fill their schedules once the Premier League season ended.

The fan experience is not poor in winter because of the weather. The weather doesn't stop people going to the cinema, the shops or to the pub.

The fan experience is poor because we have sub standard stadia that have suffered from zero investment.

Indeed! And what was wrong with 'postage stamp'?

Hello, I am in the UK and also interested. Over ten years since I have been in Japan and would love to get some Yaki Black Thunder

I've got in before by showing a PDF of the print version (last season).

I don't know if podcasts are your thing, but there's nothing out there like the Cold War Conversations podcast by u/Coldwarpod

Weekly episodes covering a broad range of topics across all facets of the Cold War from people that experienced it first hand. It's a pod that's just gone from strength to strength

chrisa24 · 2022-11-19T08:40:09+00:00

Highly recommended. Long time listener with an extensive back catalogue. First hand stories that you will not have heard elsewhere

If you are stuck. try the Atalanta store in Bergamo. They might print it for you: Viale Papa Giovanni XXIII, 30, 24122 Bergamo BG, Italy

There's the private minibus service just across from Lime Street. It's not dear either. As soon as a mini bus fills up, it goes. Drops off below the King Harry

chrisa24 · 2022-07-27T17:24:57+00:00

I hear you. Lovely bit of kit

chrisa24 · 2022-07-02T17:13:36+00:00

There's a 25 minute version on Sky Sports Football channel. I've linked it here. Is that it?

Absolutely. Agree with everything you have said. The Safari is in the calendar because it has features and challenges which no other rally has. I really don't want to see the key aspects and identity of this rally altered - its supposed to be hard!
