  1. I actually believe in school uniform. However I think it should be badgeless. The school just does grey trousers/skirt with a red/blue/green jumper. Sadly this isn't what schools generally do. I've seen schools were you need to buy bags, pe shorts, pe trousers, pe jumpers and shirts. All with logos and totalling over £100. We just used to wear white shorts and tees.
  2. It's hard to fully compare as previously London used supplementary vote. Done better based on 1st votes from 21 to 24 (43% rather than 40%) but people may have voted differently. Say give Binface first vote, Kahn second but this time just voting Kahn. Sadly Binface lost 165 votes but turnout was lower. Im not surprised the turnout was low, even lower than COVID times 21 election. Kahn isn't popular but the Conservatives are not popular in London at all and are pretty much a single policy party (ULEZ).
  3. So I bought an Ealing Trailfinders shirt today, it's Rugby Union. It's made by mizuno and really high quality.
  4. I've heard the ham sandwiches story years ago, never sure it was true or not. I can believe it though.
  5. I do think things would be better under Labour, I mean at the very least they couldn't be worse. I understand they want to get as many votes as possible and try to have something for everyone. But I think they have hit a point where they are alienating people and I think there are certain areas that Labour should win safely but could not because they don't offer anything for the worker, I think there would be less public sector strikes, but no strong policies on it. Will voters just vote for the party that hates immigrants?
  6. Their choice of venue is definitely strange, using what are a fair size and not cheap. There is still room for Britwres to do well despite major promotions coming here regularly. RPW seem to be doing well, charging high prices for their arena and Crystal palace shows. Also do a lot of shows in Manchester, Stevenage and Southampton where I imagine the venues are a fraction of the cost.
  7. ICW were doing UK tours and an annual arena show at one point. A serious fall from grace that. I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas pissed any earnings up the wall on TNA wrestlers appearing. Just looked at Progress results. Why the fuck would anybody fly in Tanaka or Homicide? Also Brian Cage and Sanity. If you can get 1000 plus then fair play but I bet they aren't.
  8. I think the problem with saying MPs can't earn anything else is that the job has no real stability, elections can be called early, you can be deselected etc. It could put a lot of people off being an MP. There needs to be strict maximum hours you can do though and if you need to have a KPI on number of votes and debates you attend to make sure you are still doing your job of MP. I'd only support number 5 if Jeff Goldblum was in the party.
  9. I would have thought generally they would only be on stage for 10-25 minutes each, so you probably don't need many really. I'd actually say out of all the bands on here I remember Republica best and I wasn't even a fan. I have vague recollections of the others. Although I don't remember a single Levellers songs they seem fairly high up on the poster. Was Power the singer for The La's? I suppose he could still belt out There She Goes and most people in the audience wouldn't care who actually sang it.
  10. New laws on how local authorities dispose of vapes, they have to be broken apart and disposed of separately due to being electrical means it's very costly to the tax payer. So there isn't just an environmental aspect, it's going to cost local authorities millions over the years. So even those who don't care about the environment, the money to pay for the waste disposal has to come from somewhere which could be highway maintenance, housing, social care or one of the many things your council delivers. I don't want to come off as a nob but it's really fucking thoughtless to use disposable vapes.
  11. 1) Compulsory serving of asparagus for breakfast. 2) Free corsets for the under 5s. 3) Change NHS dentist structures. All dental surgeries have to work 40% minimum on NHS patients and there will be no NHS dental fees. Dental hygienists work would be on the NHS too. 4) State run nurseries for children aged 12 months plus. Too many people stagnate their careers by not being able to afford to work. 5) All local authorities to have a public convenience plan (this is actually already a thing in Wales). Many old people and parents plan their day around public conveniences. Even at 39 I can't always hold it in. I could only come up with 2 policies so just put the other ones there for a joke. @cobra_gordo the Royal Family are German so it would probably be quite fitting.
  12. He may apply it wrong but maybe grading something when you watch it first and never revisiting is the best way. It's wrestling and supposed to make you feel a certain way. It has storylines which matches are often a part of. I think Martel Vs Roberts is fantastic because it fed off the feud amazingly and as a kid had be on the tip of my toes. If you watch it back as a video having never seen the feud you'd be bored as fuck but it's purpose wasn't to be watched again 30 years later. I think Meltzer may have given it minus stars though. I'd say the same about Hogan Vs Slaughter, it worked then because of a war and the crowd are hot so still in reality a good match and made sense given the time. So many matches are great because they capture the feud or the then current culture well. Some age well because of the story told in that match, seeing heels get the boos, the face coming back at the right time but watching a match when first on, not sure who will win will always have a magic that watching back can't provide.
  13. French stick on a pole match,
  14. Some of the matches look solid but if you have 2 mens titles and 1 women's title on the line at least have one of them believable as a title change. Often it's kind of predictable but you have that could they feel. Could they not have done MacIntyre wanting revenge on Priest?
  15. I think it was Fulham Vs Spurs so double boo. People booeed the Jaguars too.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. I think you overestimate them.
  20. 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.
  21. 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
  22. 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.
  23. Van Halen Balance, something about this album cover, it's fucking strange but brilliant. Def Leppard have good album covers in general
