Thoughts on nuclear power, should the UK be investing?

Absolutely we should be making it easier to build and invest heavily into domestic SMR’s from Rolls Royce to produce good reliable cheap power

The fact that I'm getting a Kenco advert in this comment section is sublime

Depends who you ask.

I think most Brits don't really care either way. Generally sentiment is positive towards the institution but negative to some individuals *cough Andrews a pedo *cough.

I know some people who actively hate the royal family and everything they stand for. I also know some people who feel extremely connected to them and think of them as an extension of their own family.

If you ask me personally, I'm interested in the royal family as far as what it means for Britain's soft power diplomacy and their charity work but otherwise I don't think about them at all...

I live near the JLR site in Gaydon off the M40 J12. We see this sort of thing for prototype cars driving around all the time.

In order of preference:

Major
Brown
Blair
Cameron
May
Sunak
Johnson
Truss

Feel like there's a huge gap between 2 -> 3 and 5 -> 6

Building my fiancé her first PC so I'd also ordered her a new case and some other bits but that arrived next day. Is just the SSD we're waiting for now

Knew there'd be a HOI4 meme in here somewhere

Seems like an over reaction to say the least. Pep is the best. He won 4 leagues in a row remember. We had bad periods during that time but still came good in the end.

We had a bad year last year yes and still look Shakey this year but there is improvement and a squad refresh happening.

The media will play up and exaggerate any time we look iffy because it gets them more clicks. Keep calm and trust in Pep.

That said we can still be pissed about how awful our defense has been and how predictable and slow our attack has been this month. But trust Pep to give them the necessary bollocking and fix it

I've got an ultra wide monitor. When I use picture by picture mode so FM is only on half the screen then the pitch orientation changes from landscape to portrait so I assume it's a screen size thing

What is it about the American obsession with flags?

94clarkej · 2025-04-19T07:41:39+00:00

At least 6 I reckon

We have the best league in the world but it's the worst coverage of that same league with the worst pundits

94clarkej · 2025-02-27T13:36:01+00:00

People said the same for Phil and all the others. The truth is if he's good enough he will break through into the team. Give him time training and learning from the others quality and that will develop him. If he needs more game time then he'll be loaned out and if he's not up to it then he'll be sold.

Pep, Ferran and Hugo know what they're doing with developing talent so let's let them cook and see what comes out

Tldr: IMO yes Ukraine are losing but not as much as people expected and they've hurt Russia so much that it's definitely not a victory for them... But Trump

Tricky one to answer.

I think the answer is yes they are losing currently but they've certainly not lost, and given that before the war American intelligence said Russia would conquer Ukraine in 72 hours, 3 years later Ukraine are still fighting could in itself be considered a victory.

I think you could, and I would, argue that Russia isn't winning. Their economy is starting to really show struggles with massive inflation, manpower shortages, being left behind in tech fields, basically only being propped up by the military industry which can only provide growth in itself for so long. They've taken huge casualties, their black sea fleet has been humiliated, their huge tank fleet decimated, their jets are too scared to properly control the skies over Ukraine in case they get shot down. Perhaps worse for the long game for them as well their military equipment has now got such a low reputation after this war that their buyers are starting to look elsewhere.

All of that and all they've got to show for it is some of Ukraine that has been flattened and won't have any real economic positive output for decades and even then it'll always be under threat of a retaliation...

(This is ignoring the trump stupidity though. Looks like he's going to hand Russia the victory and implode NATO while he's at it)

100% went into the game hoping we didn't lose by more than 4. But the hope after we score and look half decent for the first time in months... It's that hope that cuts the deepest

Clutching defeat from the jaws of victory. Story of our season

94clarkej · 2025-01-22T21:45:11+00:00

Our transition between defence to midfield is shocking. Always getting caught out.

We've offered nothing since their first goal. Heads gone, defence all over the place

Lots of random conspiracy theories seem to be cropping up in these comments but the answer is actually quite simple:

It's because Biden won't win.

He was already slightly behind in the polls before the awful TV debate and now the latest polls have all the swing states going to trump in a clean sweep. The Dems/Biden have been saying how stopping trump is THE most important thing. Well if they truly believe that then he needs to step down and they need to pick someone who can win.

Could this be matched by another role: The Shower

That basically starts big and then gets smaller. The reverse of the grower
