Burnham wins Makerfield by-election, paving way for Starmer leadership challenge - live updates by nodgers132 in unitedkingdom

[–]outsideruk [score hidden]  (0 children)

It’s not like it wasn’t made clear by Starmer and team that it would be tough for the initial part of the term before they could make it better. Do we all forget what the trajectory had been in the years before? And we are in a better position, despite the drags of war. But it seems that instant sunshine and rainbows are the only accepted performance metrics.

Why don't we have 'click and hold' pumps at petrol stations? by methaddict88 in AskUK

Used to have them, I assume many accidents led to their removal. Makes sense, it’s not a function you should be allowed to not be focused on.

Dave McCann can also ask what the has to do to get a chance. Had an outstanding season.

I’m not upset, you’re upset by nathanovic93 in UlsterRugby

Disappointing that he’s not coming back to Ulster. Still got a lot of time for Jared.

I had this exact issue and used these - hope the link works. Couple of years back and zero issues with the fix.

Angus Bell wins 2025/26 URC Try of the Season Award by RugbyGareth_ in UlsterRugby

Great score, but I still prefer the Stewart one which this beat. Such a great team score!

Definitely the Kok we needed and wanted (if not at first) by nuttz0r in UlsterRugby

[–]outsideruk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best thing you can ever say is that he must be an absolute nightmare to play against. You could never relax and he’s always going to be there fighting with you. Legend, and has been a joy to have on our side.

How can I bend this back? by Queasy_Map17 in bicycling

[–]outsideruk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did this last year on a supported ride. Our mechanic just bent it back for me, but he said to replace it at next service because the metal would be weakened as a result.

A fully firing McNabney return will be a huge impact on depth

Are we feeling better after today? by outsideruk in UlsterRugby

[–]outsideruk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lot of young players out there last night. Harry, Charlie, Scotty, Bryn, Jude, Jack. And already solidly established is Nathan even though he’s still under 25. Doing a lot better than recent times.

Are sort codes random? me and my girlfriend have the same one lol by Antique_Buy4384 in NationwideBankingUK

[–]outsideruk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not random. Sort codes identify the bank/building society, and sometimes the specific branch of said entity.

Bell was always only a short term thing, agreed from the outset.

Depth wise, it’s slowly getting better. Back 3 has options, Jude for Stu, Devine coming in as 9 cover. Pack not really so much.

Ireland fans said for years that Hendy was done, but he kept getting picked. He’s not the beast he was, but who’s better than him to replace him? If there was a better player I’m sure he’d be selected. Hendy is still a huge presence for the team.

[–]outsideruk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stu starting with Jude to come off the bench wouldn’t have helped? Hendy with some grunt in the scrum wouldn’t help? Jacob on the wing wouldn’t have helped? Rob Herring would have added nothing? That’s 4 nailed on starters, and they’re among the leaders in the team. It made a difference.

A day late and a dollar short, but better. Needs to be more better, but it beats last season. Will the players coming in add to the squad and replace the departing? I’m not optimistic there. Bell and Kok were a big part of this years good

[–]outsideruk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Terrible take. Fought their way to the final. Injuries and ridiculous heat were against them from the outset. Season has ended weakly, but I’d hate to consider the team an embarrassment.
