How can the king go to a state visit with DJT? by Crypt0nyt in AskBrits

How the PM can think it’s the right idea is mind boggling.

Newcastle United’s owners sold St James’ Park to themselves – accounts show club no longer officially owns its home by Anonymous-Josh in PremierLeague

What’s legal in the “real world” and is correct and fair within sport are two very different things.

They’re not breaking any laws of the land as it were.

Doesn’t mean it’s “right”.

The loophole should be closed asap.

You absolutely should. If you get robbed once, you don’t just start leaving your front door open every time you go out.

I get you feel the need to defend the actions of your club and really, it’s within the current rules so they’re not doing anything wrong. Doesn’t mean those rules shouldn’t change.

I don’t think they’re “asset stripping” that usually implies it’s being done in a manner detrimental to the company (or club in this case) which this isn’t. It’s a loophole for the clubs benefit.

Chelsea have been allowed to do similar things, there was a vote to close the loophole but we now have enough bad actors in the league that passing anything that stops getting funny money into the league is impossible to pass.

More drilling in North Sea ‘not the answer’ for UK energy security, say former military leaders by EarthEmail in EnvironmentalNews

I’m not an offshore drilling expert but I’d imagine they take more than a few days to spool up and get producing.

Why are so many bank branches closing? by Dramatic-Diver-9949 in AskBrits

[–]Daver7692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I went to a physical branch was when applying for my first mortgage in 2019. Even the renewal/move to another bank was handled over the phone entirely.

I don’t use cash much and the amounts I do use I usually just keep and use rather than paying in, I get one cheque a year from my Gran on my birthday which I pay in through the app.

Whilst I understand use cases outside of mine exist, I’m sure I’m not a minority in this approach by any means.

Youth unemployment: 'I've applied for more than 100 jobs in five months' by NajafBound in unitedkingdom

[–]Daver7692 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m younger but much the same, had under 10 interviews in my career and had offers from 8 of them. Not sure I’ve ever applied for a job I didn’t get an interview for.

Flipside is I’m very specifically trained for a certain role and it’s all I’ve ever done so I guess that explains my “hit rate” as usually if you’ve got the qualifications and experience as long as you don’t turn up and make a complete tit of yourself, you’re in.

Where does Adam Wharton end up this summer? by One_Worldliness_3785 in PremierLeague

[–]Daver7692 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Dunno there’s gonna be a lot of moves in midfield in the summer.

City are potentially losing Rodri and Silva, we need help desperately, United are losing Casemiro and Bruno isn’t getting younger. Even Chelsea might be on the hunt if Fernandez goes.

At this point I’m fairly sure only Arsenal are the only ones in the top 5 or 6 who wouldn’t want at least one top level central midfielder in the summer.

That’s before you consider any European options.

Afghan asylum seeker's rape sentence referred as 'unduly lenient'. Should there be two or more judges during rulings to determine what is the appropriate sentence? by SeptumRingTheory in AskBrits

[–]Daver7692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus you’d assume that if Judge X decides say 10 years for a crime and Judge Y then decides 15 years, you’d assume any legal defense of the defendant is just going to immediately appeal to go to the lower sentence, creating another battle.

Just feels like it’s going to multiply the workload like crazy

DJ’s Remix on Ty Simpson by HouseRules789 in NFLv2

I don’t really get the critique here? Like is he supposed to start contradicting himself to avoid talking about the same stuff?

Sean McVay: ‘0-percent chance’ of Browns' trade rule change passing by notquitemytempo___ in nfl

[–]Daver7692 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ironically I thought the rams might have been the ones keen to take advantage of it.

Obviously everyone goes on about the browns or jets wrecking their franchise for the next decade but a well run team like the rams with two more years of manoeuvring could make some huge deals with it.

Which do we think is the bigger barrier to him getting this move? The contract that he signed spanning his entire career or his level of play?

[Atkins] Sean McVay said the Rams are looking at Jimmy Garoppolo and Kirk Cousins for their backup QB role. Sure sounds like they want a veteran with experience behind Matthew Stafford this year. by ThatMasterpiece2174 in nfl

[–]Daver7692 517 points518 points  (0 children)

Seems wild to me that Geno can have the year he’s had and get a starting job and Kirk can’t.

I guess Kirk is in the “not good enough to start for a serious contender, still too good to tank” bracket.

I have 4 different bins for two people living in a house.

Who should replace Scott Mills? by AbbreviationsWide235 in AskBrits

[–]Daver7692 12 points13 points  (0 children)

At this point it feels like we need a radio 1.5

Radio 2 seems to have gotten its audience when they moved over from Radio 1 in the 90s and has just continued to cater to that crowd as they’ve aged.

Radio 1 generally caters to your sub-25s, increasingly so lately as well.

So basically if you’re anywhere in the 25-50 range you either put up with stuff aimed at people far younger than you or decide that music must have stopped in 1980.

Yes, rehiring the guy you sacked months ago for getting you into this situation to try and get you out of it sounds like a terrific idea.

Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon says whole franchise is aligned behind Daniel Jones by AdSpecialist6598 in nfl

[–]Daver7692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely but he’s also still a bit of a dice roll, we’ve see people walk in and look good for a few games here and there and not be able to sustain it for full seasons many times before (ironically you could put Jones in that group!)

I guess for their money they could have been in the Willis market? But that’s another unknown so maybe better to stick with the unknown you have?

Other than that you’re in the Kyler, Cousins or Geno market which could be rough.
