  1. I think you'll get a Wembley show eventually, but in April with no roof? Nah They'd sell out 2 nights with something like Summerslam but they could sell out a stadium Summerslam in America and also sell out Battle in Brent here on top.
  2. I always assumed that 90 day no compete was a wrestler getting paid downside of their contract for 90 days. That is essentially them being bought out of their contract? If your contract actually runs down they can't stop you moving straight to AEW the following day can they? I had one job where I had a no compete clause, I worked for a Thames Water contractor and if I left I needed to wait 6 months before going to Thames or another Thames contractor. Everyone in all the contractors and Thames apparently had it. However if you left to join another Thames Water contractor but not actually work on Thames Water projects that was fine. It was never enforced though, it was there to stop you fucking off if they really needed to but loads of people swapped between.
  3. I thought the guy came across as alright. He understands a lot of them come and do work that we can't fill (important work) and pay taxes. Nurses and care workers don't do cash in hand work. That the Government is heavily at fault for not incentivising people in the UK to train to do these jobs. Even when the guy says a lot of the legal ways are blocked he admits it's true and that he was looking at it from the wrong angle. There are other factors that aren't raised but you can't discuss everything in that short period. edit: @Loki I interpreted it the way you do to be honest.
  4. I think you overestimate them.
  5. Went to see Northern Comedy Theatre (it was in London), did a show called Doing the Dead. Shame there was only about 30 people because it was hillarious, when the troupe come back down with a new show I'll be there. These small chamber plays are often ignored but they can be brilliant. It had a guy called Steve Arnold, who apparently was in Corrie for 15 years in. My mum knew he was.
  6. Yes the album version is more of a dance version and that's sadly how she performs it live although she still does the hey, hey, hey part. Although the Summer Mix is the version that was released as a single in most countries including the UK. edit: Yeah I like Belinda
  7. Not sure how you would count this, but Geoff Downes from Buggles, Yes and Asia did his own version of Video Killed the Radio Star. The instrumental version works well, but I'm not a fan of the version with Glen Hughes. Not better than the original, but it's worth a listen. Strangely Bruce Wooley, a member of Buggles who co-wrote the song but didn't appear on the famous version, recorded it (and many Buggles songs) and released it before Buggles did.
  8. Van Halen Balance, something about this album cover, it's fucking strange but brilliant. Def Leppard have good album covers in general
  9. I've never read or seen a film based on any of her books, any elaboration on this? Does she have tight fisted characters with big noses and stuff?
  10. Sorry, I'm confused, Warhammer players actually know what a woman is?
  11. Weren't JCP and AWA both expanding heavily in the 70s and 80s? Starrcade pre-dates Wrestlemania and I think that was JCP starting their aim of national rather than just being a larger regional, but they had been growing massively pre Starrcade. JCP pretty much took over the other NWA promotions. It was happening anyway, at the same time, so I don't think it was even light years ahead of it's time.
  12. It was dealt with well, a lovely triumphs story. Maybe it worked as something that people didn't really see or hear of outside of this storyline so people didn't think to hard about it. It was probably pretty ground breaking. Now days it would be seen as shoving an agenda down our faces, sadly. A phrase I see and hear a lot. I don't hate (insert minority group here) and I understand the want for equality I just don't want their agenda shoved down my throat. So you want them to have equality, you just don't want to see or hear them.
  13. So you think people would have been as polite if it was a trans woman playing the part? I'm not sure they would. I find it all so odd, people even complaining about drag queens? Drag queens have been around for years, as a kid Barry Humphreys and Paul O'Grady were household names, doing family TV in the 80s and 90s and I feel like nobody batted an eyelid? Am I remembering it wrong.
  14. I was aware of that Harry Ramsden fact actually. Matthew Corbett was at a show in Crawley last week. Bet some of the parents were well chuffed. To anybody who ever fancies it, the show is a mix of usual sooty slapstick, crowd involvement, singing and magic. The kids can have a pic taken with Sooty and Richard Cadell after.
  15. Wasn't sure where to put this. I took my son to the theatre today. We saw Sooty and it was great fun. The parents and grandparents often more engaged as they had watched the show as kids. It's amazing a hand puppet can age so well.

    Work

    What I posted in Woke, "A new managers job has been made at my organisation. Public conveniences and animal welfare. Both previously managed by Street Cleaning, with 1 guy (me) doing SC and PC (80% the latter), 1 guy doing SC and AW (A 50/50 split) and one just doing AW. So I have no experience with animal welfare and they have none with PCs so will be interesting. PCs has 10 times the budget despite less staff. The manager will manager 2 members of staff. I obviously need to read up on Animal Welfare. Does anybody work on anything like that? Apart from DDA 91 and AWA 2006 I don't know where to look."
  17. Well I'm sure I heard some old bloke complaining about millenials identifying as a cat

  19. I get he's raised money for charity, but I still think he's a twat.
  20. For some reason I've always found Vicki Pepperdine's face intriguing. I'm not sure what it is
  21. He thinks he looks cool, look at me I can spend all this money on a song. I'd just say why pay wrestlers better.
  22. He's big, a bit scary looking and can do the monster heel formula well enough. Isn't that what you really need? He can talk reasonably well but he's got a mouth piece and that does the job. He may not pull off good TV matches such as AJ Styles but that's not what he's there for. This all depends on what you think a good wrestler does. It's why people like Jeff Jarrett are under rated. People often underestimate the importance of a good heel getting the face over.
  23. Can I just say I'm surprised with Ash by Elegance, watched her Vs Brookside. She's not the greatest in ring but actually having a character helps her and she's carryable.
  24. I totally believe that Paul Travell vs James Tighe should main event Wrestlemania every year.
  25. I'm not a Cena fan, more because I could never get behind the character. I never really understood it, except with kids. I didn't like Hogan but I understand it. He was a bit like Hogan in that he bumped, then did a come back. It's very formulaic ala Hogan but if it gets people invested then fair enough. The style works, providing you know when to sell, when to come back etc. As has been mentioned his move set was weird, it didn't suit a big bastard.
