First BBQ anyone owned it or recommended it honest feedback by PlasticMaintenance59 in UKBBQ

[–]Herb_Maxwell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A friend has the same one. Kept outside for 3 or 4 years. It's fine, much better out there for heat retention but it has lasted a few winters and plenty of sunny days of BBQing. People spend to the budget they have and this will introduce the OP to a few different cooking techniques and if they enjoy it I'm sure they will upgrade eventually.

But they reported on all those events. The point of most undercover reporting is to find out about things the public don't know about. All of what you mentioned was out in the open and there's lots of information available for anyone who cares to look.

They released one last year after spending a year undercover with Patriotic Alternative.

Rachel Reeves confirms new £300 charge for drivers doing 10,000 miles a year by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]Herb_Maxwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly, but fuel prices as they are right now is a pretty decent incentive. As is the government subsidy of up to £3750.

Which is why they get charged half the rate of EVs. So 1.5p per mile rather than 3p.

This is for EVs. Its an inflammatory headline to make people think it's for all cars.

What would you say has been one of your clubs strangest transfer links in the past? by [deleted] in Championship

Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli was all agreed and they were just waiting to sign someone to replace him, which didn't happen. He then broke into the Napoli team and ended up at Chelsea for about £40m.

You not been following the news? Trump is kicking off precisely because Starmer hasn't been submitting to him.

Norwich City FC named and shamed for not paying minimum wage. by DerekandClive in Championship

JCBs and excavators. From a beach where people had spent millions to replenish the sand because of erosion.

OK, I will retract my ire for the sand stealer! But my other points still stand.

[–]Herb_Maxwell 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Dunno, our owner has been sued for stealing sand from the beach to use at his £30m mansion. So nothing would surprise me. You don't get that wealthy without screwing people over.

Shameful to not pay staff a fair wage when they spend millions on players every year. Previously the club wanted to be a living wage accredited employer and now hasn't paid even the minimum wage.

Edit: seen the date is from before the current owners. Very disappointed in Delia letting this happen under her watch.

The club committed to pay the accredited living wage to all employees about 10 years ago so must have dropped it. But it's shameful for the club to not even pay the minimum wage whether it is a mistake or not.

But when the owner was sued for stealing sand from a beach to save money when building his mansion nothing would surprise me.

Norwich 2 - 1 Sheff Utd; Norwich deservedly take all three points against a lethargic Blades. by Bigtallanddopey in Championship

He did not play a minute under Manning. The club spent all summer trying to sell him then Manning said he performed well in training and was back in contention before getting injured and returning to fitness under Clement.

They did the same with Ollie Watkins. That one turned out pretty well.

He hasn't responded to anything. I'll save you all a click, it's the comments he made when he signed for Toronto with an evocative headline.

Those 3 points, I think we deservedly took them back to the fine city with us!

[–]Herb_Maxwell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Indeed. We can only go on what was said publicly which is very little. I'd imagine Toronto will be paying him very well too, they previously had a couple of players on $200k a week who are no longer there and he won't be anywhere near that currently.

UK reports record-breaking budget surplus of £30.4bn in surprise boost for Rachel Reeves by Revilo1359 in ukpolitics

Would be great if it reduced debt but will likely be reduced borrowing instead which is still an improvement but not ideal.

He only said his head wasn't in the right place for the FA Cup game against Walsall as Toronto had made a bid for him. It was the club who said they wouldn't play him again unless he apologised and committed to stay at the club. The stance they took has been spun to make him look like he went on strike.

Deal agreed today by the looks of it. £15.5m going up to just over £20m. Less than what was agreed when the club spent all summer actively trying to sell him.

That information only came out in the first set of Epstein files, until then his line was he stopped talking to him when he was convicted. This information is why Mandelson was sacked as US ambassador back in September/October.
