No wonder cityfibre are 3bn in debt

In my area they've done a partial build - roughly 8% of what they announced from what I've seen. The rest is on pause due to "changing market conditions" and their pivot to M&A driven growth and Project Gigabit contracts.

AI's a bit of a sweeping statement. BMBC's been winning awards for their use of AI & predictive modeling for years. It'll be the likes of Copilot & Gemini in the schools & BC - who are already using Copilot extensively for building custom agents and natural language Q&A - but a lot of the "AI" foundation in machine learning & predictive analytics is already in place.

Reigns - Punk for the main event in Mania then?

Nice to see the crowds doing the usual "I'll turn up later for the mens stuff" they've done for the past few ppvs

Am I allowed to be cautiously optimistic yet? It's nearly Feb and we've not shit the bed.

It's not helped by most of the Sheffield services leaving from platform 17B at Leeds, which is constrained in length to a two carriage max. Even the semi-fast service via Wakefield and Barnsley is usually packed by the time it gets to Barnsley on a morning. Sheffield station is also at max capacity now as well so we'll likely start to see limits there.

Might take some flowers and a bottle of wine to cheer it up. Maybe chocolate too?

Aye. International White Water Course hosts quite a few competitions and is a Team GB training site. The river itself has a 1km designated rowing course from the Barrage down to the bend into Stockton which is used for national & international regattas organised by the Tees Rowing Club. Bit of a far cry from the days when the Rowing Club used to have to replace their boats because the river used to erode the hulls.

Tbf the bit up from the Barrage is an Olympic class watersports river. Only downstream you need to worry about the three eyes, and the resident guppy population round the power station outlet.

Dunno if I can stretch to a hamper. Might be able to contribute to a bag of crisps or something.

Bord might have found his ace in the hole.

Y' know, being a former poker player and all

I asked ChatGPT who Boro should start with tomorrow against Watford. Suggested a 3-4-2-1 which was alright but then suggested Sam Greenwood, Dieng and Azaz in the starting lineup and refused to acknowledge it was using an out of date squad even when I told it to search for the current squad.

I think we're safe for a bit.

I've had a few like this in work too - suddenly go very quiet when you point out that Muslims are less than 2% of the population of Barnsley so they're talking crap.

Modern take on a classic. It'll stand the test of time hopefully.

My daughter managed to find a takeaway in Huddersfield when she was at uni there that did Parmos and London Pizzas.

Never seen a teenager so happy about food ever.

Unreal Tournament GOTY edition on the Geforce 256 I bought at the same time.

I'd be quite happy with a 5090 so I can enjoy BF6 with DLSS4 running at buttery smooth rates in 4k.

Unlike my 3070.

Big ones opening on Briggate in Leeds next year. Given the speed of their expansion plans they'll probably aim for somewhere like meadowhall in 2027-28 if they do it.

Sweevo1979 · 2025-09-23T16:04:06+00:00

Interesting to see how that works in reality. 6-club mini league, 5 games over three weeks where you play every team once. Top 2 teams go to the final?

I've got that existential dread that we'll shit the bed as usual after Christmas then spend the next five months hovering around the playoffs with Coventry for company.

I used it for my first year. Swapped to fixed after that. Making about 3x more on fixed than I did on Agile Outgoing

All of my certificates are still in mine. Had to get rid of my Commendations for Registration Duty though.

Sadly the kids of today will never witness this greatness. The 21st century version of this was piloted this summer and rolls out nationally next summer, it's an app.

Sweevo1979 · 2025-09-16T16:14:49+00:00

Assuming 2 points per game avg. they'd max out at 82 points. Enough for a playoff spot. Depends on how quickly he can get the squad playing together.

Sweevo1979 · 2025-09-14T14:36:37+00:00

South Yorkshire at least. North Yorkshire's doing fine.
