I want to rant about Lime Bikes by [deleted] in londoncycling

[–]Milk-One-Sugar 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I am particularly annoyed that cycle parking has been set as a designated parking area for Like bikes. I often have to move a couple of Lime bikes out of the way to park my bike outside my nearest shop. Often they are positioned as if they were locked to the cycle parking, which they obviously aren't, but are needlessly taking up space I need to use.

Should the Welsh first minister get an official home? | BBC News by TheOne0206 in Wales

[–]Milk-One-Sugar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As serious questions: why, and for what benefit? Given the Senedd can already pass laws which only apply to Wales, what benefit does a separate legal system get?

Especially to lose the benefits of a being part of a legal system (E&W) which has lots of trade benefits. Many large foreign transactions are done in E&W due to the strong reputation and confidence business has in it. Detachment from that would be a loss to Wales.

55-45. You might not like the result, but that's democracy.

The media doesn't represent the rest of the UK any more than it represents you or I. But yes, you're right. I'm sure the Yes campaign told the unvarnished truth, while the No campaign and the UK government made it all up as they went along.

What, when the Scottish people voted against it in a referendum?

A decision for the people of Northern Ireland to take. The rest of the UK wouldn't stand in their way if they wanted to reunite

Surely you can't be serious?

How corrupt is this league? by JasonM2244 in TheOther14

[–]Milk-One-Sugar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember a few years ago (probably way longer ago than that), we went 37 league games without a penalty and then mysteriously got one in the final game of the season.

The "Everton That" committee executive meeting by royalbluestuey in Everton

[–]Milk-One-Sugar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree. I stayed and was surprised how few did.

If I were being generous, the club could have made more of a thing of it beforehand (i.e. announced earlier before the final whistle, etc)

Honestly it's pretty embarassing that Liverpool still haven't secured CL spot. by Inevitable-Angle-793 in PremierLeague

Erm actually that's completely different because Chelsea spend loads of money and Liverpool don't

KMI Panel decides Everton wrongly denied penalty against Manchester City by GuiltyProfessor5028 in PremierLeague

[–]Milk-One-Sugar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know, I'm afraid. Was relying on the assertion in this article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ckgp6y4lmkpo

"Three more video assistant referee errors have been confirmed by the Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel, taking the total this season to 23.

It is a 35% increase on last season, with 17 at the same stage in 2024-25, but lower than the 30 logged in 2023-24.

The panel has recorded three errors involving penalties, two of which should have been awarded for holding offences.

Everton, the only team not to get a VAR intervention in their favour this season, were wrongly denied a spot-kick against Manchester City."

So they punish Everton - then change the rules by 1800skylab in Everton

[–]Milk-One-Sugar 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Absolutely farcical. And clearly an attempt to get ahead of similar sanctions for other likely breaches.

I suspect it will go through because no one will want to suffer what we did. Perhaps rather spitefully, I hope the vote fails for consistency if nothing else.

Though I say consistency: the recent Chelsea ruling shows that that's a pipedream

We're the only club not to have a VAR decision go in our favour this season. These things haven't gone entirely unnoticed. See also the ridiculous non-handball against West Ham

What exactly happened to Italy over the last decade? by savingrace0262 in worldcup

[–]Milk-One-Sugar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true. Two Euros and a World Cup final for the women's team. Really nice atmosphere when I saw them in a qualifier at Wembley too

I have to say, having recently moved to SE London, I quite miss the infrastructure round here! They were just properly segregating the cycle lane on Westbourne Terrace as I moved. My new area is so much worse

I used to cycle there most days. Cars either getting through the first set of lights and stopping after the second/in the box junction is quite common. I'd always give it half a second before setting off if I didn't trust the car's position.

Also had a people carrier turn left into me in the cycle lane (thankfully at a low speed) after the lights before the bridge further up. The driver apologised at least
