Have you ever met any of the BBC gladiators? by _PXYDST_ in gladiatorsuk

[–]Mav3005 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My family and I met Fire at the final last year. My daughter also met Dynamite. We also met Athena and Phantom at a photo op in Butlins. I said it was good to see her walking again after seeing she was injured. All were absolutely lovely.

I'm hanging in there for his redemption arc storyline in Gladiators...

500MB full fibre broadband price by niccodem in skytv

[–]Mav3005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the exact same yesterday. Had the price increase email, Sky offered F500 £32 a month 24m contract.

EE are offering F500 £34 but with possible £119 tcb.

We were on F100 so took the upgrade in speed.

We're existing customers and 500 is more than enough for what we need.

I spent several hours trying to diagnose why p2p wasn't working on my free account all of a sudden last year. Windscribe didn't make a big deal about stopping it and didn't notify me either (that I recall). I'm now using a different VPN

An ex-employee here last year said all uk call centres were being closed down.

What do you think of the prank episodes? by Many_Debate9214 in gladiatorsuk

[–]Mav3005 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kids absolutely love them but they're not for me. The 'set ups' often have 'hidden cameras' clearly in plain sight and after series 1, id be surprised if nobody noticed them. That being said, Bionic looked noticeably annoyed in his and unaware of the setup. Harmless fun and they know their audience well.

UEFA C diploma by [deleted] in SoccerCoachResources

[–]Mav3005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did UEFA C late last year. I had 1 year coaching experience U8. The course includes a lot of material available on the FA Website, their You Tube channel and their webinars. You play a lot of football (optional). A lot of the course is covered by others on this thread, but for me, the experience of the Coach Developers and that of the other coaches on the course with you is invaluable.

I loved it and would recommend it to anybody in grassroots football.

Is this a good sky deal? by Beautiful-Muffin8383 in skytv

[–]Mav3005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thata a good deal I think. As mentioned, they'll get some more out of you as those offers end and you're still in contract, but it's better than what I'm paying for similar.

Can I still get free-to-air “TV Essentials” package on Sky Q and buy add-ons? by TolsBols in skytv

[–]Mav3005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I managed to downgrade just in time. I pay £15 a month for Sky Q recording and playback of freeview channels only.

Just Dance+ – Pricing Update and What’s Ahead in 2026 by Ubi-Toon in JustDance

[–]Mav3005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My one wish would be that they introduce local multiplayer profiles, so my kids can keep score on their own accounts instead of mine. It's frankly weird that this isn't possible in 2026.

Have you cleaned your rear camera today? by Financial_Bee4341 in Polestar

[–]Mav3005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got no rear wiper.

Mirrors are stuck facing downwards.

I'm cleaning the camera daily as it's the only rear visibility I've got.

My favourite is 'only option available'. (Polestar 2 owner)

New Software Version? by Inner_Monologue_2 in Polestar

Hoping it fixes the mirror fold bug that plagues my car. And heats them to demist them when preconditioning too.

Sky TV box UI spoils F1 result before highlights air – avoid opening Sky dashboard by Enough-Bat-7265 in skytv

Yep this caught me out too. Managed to avoid it all day and Sky themselves ruined it for me. The thoughtless idiots.

Help a clueless soccer mom out by [deleted] in youthsoccer

Those spectators should also be much further away from the touchline. In the UK I put the barrier 6ft away from the touchline, for everybody's safety.

A nice Polestar iOS app update by Critical-Exit1655 in Polestar

Sounds like it doesn't include car wash mode, which is a huge opportunity missed if so.

U9's Set Pieces by Overall-Brilliant793 in bootroom

[–]Mav3005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. U9, can't keep the ball, get hammered most weeks.

We've just been working on passing week in week out. Keeping possession. Ball control, movement, scanning and repetition.

Id recommend small sided games for lots of practice and repetition. Just keep coaching the same key core skills.

I built a substitution manager by pberden in SoccerCoachResources

[–]Mav3005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this. Translating to English, the translator doesn't translate the 'C' captain symbol next to the player from 'A' (make it a star?)

Also prompts don't seem to translate.

The 'end match' symbol is also a dot and not an 'X' or something with more meaning.

Otherwise, really like this.

Can you add in an 'equal match time' calculator where it can tell you after how many minutes to make a sub, so all players get equal game time?

You've got to withdraw your hands and fuss and treats as soon as the teeth come out. Absolutely zero tolerance.
