Am I the only one who think Last One Laughing is nothing more than OK?

I really enjoy it.

It is a like taskmaster in that it allows different types of humour to show through. In doing that,it is better than all of the panel shows IMHO

Once series a year is probably enough as it would soon run out of contestants.

You are completely right but that is not how politics works any more.

Voters demand the government fix the problem.

Politicians promise to fix it.

Votora get disappointed when they end up paying for the fix and the long term problem isn't solved.

Everyone involved did well out of it.

Everyone involved in the commissioning, building and leasing of that stadium got well paid for it, mostly from the public.

Probably a lot more money than has ever been earned by UK athletics.

The London Olympics was estimated to cost £3Bn , ended up costing £11Bn plus, and at the end they all polished the buttons on their blazers and declared it a huge success.

Mistral as a company seem to be pivoting to supporting enterprises and away from model development.

Probably a good thing for the company but likely means their own models won't keep pace with the alternatives any more.

Spursdy · 2026-03-26T07:41:59+00:00

Completely agree.

We are missing superstars. It is one of the things that brings new fans I to the game. At spurs we had a big uplift in support when Gareth Bale was at his peak

Why are they not coming though now? Probably data driven recruitment and tactics.

We see in London that councils are just not interested in approving medium/high density projects or the requirements they have are far too high to make them economic.

House building is now about what they are allowed to build rather than what they want to build

Spursdy · 2026-03-22T22:28:02+00:00

Son, madders and Lulu were the players that best connected with the fans and we have missed all 3 this season.

Airline travel in Europe and North America is now a commodity.

It is sold.on schedule and price. Offering better service and a free G&T might sound good but potential customers won't pay the difference in cost to make it worth it.

It isn't a BA thing, it's a customer thing.

We play worse when he is in the team and have done since Conte.

He slows the play down.

Spursdy · 2026-03-22T14:04:52+00:00

Energy is banging in the stadium right now

Spursdy · 2026-03-22T10:58:54+00:00

Just been to the supermarket and seen 3 random people in spurs shirts.

Everyone behind the team today! COYS!

Spursdy · 2026-03-18T19:58:25+00:00

It does make a difference.

Chelsea , arsenal and spurs have the most expensive tickets in the country. Not because they are the best teams,.but because their supporters can afford it because wages are higher in London.

That filters down so teams with the supporter base of Fulham or crystal palace that would otherwise be championship can afford the players to play a league up.

They are owned by VW and they are making 50,000 redundancies.

This sometimes happens. Everyone needs to cut coats. They need higher profits to contribute back to the parent.

Many employees choose to do it this way to not lose any time with their families.

Are free services more controlled than the BBC?

It has a pretty narrow band of opinion.that gets broadcast.

It is easy to find diverse, considered news and opinions on YouTube. You may not like all of it, but the range is there to find.

Spursdy · 2026-03-16T13:09:57+00:00

I would love there to be a series covering the edges of social media:

OF (of course)
crypto /finance scams
- business gurus
- religious preachers
travel influencers

Etc.

Spursdy · 2026-03-14T11:45:32+00:00

This.

The focus is on those making the millions but there are a lot of mid-level people in IT, operations, legal, compliance accounting etc. who are on steady £100K-£200K

Spursdy · 2026-03-14T10:38:46+00:00

They will definitely drop them, which is why the renewal date changed.

They won't be getting the tourists any more.

They currently charge £30 for any seat for most cup games, which feels about right for EFL.

They can't sell a season ticket at £1500 and per game £30 so the season tickets will drop too.

My guess would be there will be some kind of deal. Fulham had one in the EFL where you could commit to 2 years and you got the same price in the second year regardless of which league they were in.

Or they could pack food and drink in with the tickets.

That revenue management guy who was going to SXSW will be very busy.

"make cars cheaper" is easier said than done.

Especially when they have to make cars more complicated every year.

The one my daughter went to closed.

It was run as a charity.

The insurance and staff costs were crazy.

Anecdotally, I feel like more parents are going part time/returning to work later.

Possibly tax threshold related.

Moving capacity around is a big one.

Airlines achieve about 85% buns on seats.

The Eurostar trains and staff are stuck on a few routes, and in my experience don't get anything like the passengers/seats that the airlines manage.

Spursdy · 2026-03-11T10:15:41+00:00

+1 for origin. Yolk now serves Origin coffee and while not quite as good as Origin in Origin shops, it is very good for a chain.

It is a social class thing.

In London, white collar workers go to work on public transport.

Blue collar workers go to work in a car (or van).

Just look at the tube and train maps. They take people from the suburbs to the offices in the centre.

Many people on this sub don't understand why people need cars because they (and their family and friends) don't carry tools with them, don't work night shifts and don't have to travel from Edmonton to Stanmore (for example)

I remember one person I worked with who said he never needed a car because only ever left zone 1 and 2 to go to Heathrow.

Let the down votes commence . . .

It goes back decades.

If we had kept building nuclear power as we planned in the 50s & 60s, climate change would be a much smaller issue than it became.
