I'd make it even more forgiving for attackers by making the rule such that an attacker can only be offside if there is clear day light between them and last defending player plus they'd need to be in the penalty area ( their actual 'foot' on or goal side the white line - nowt to do with shoulder, th...

May be try New Brew’m Pub in Burnley - they own Reedley Hallows brewery so may be able to help. They had a face..k page back in 2020 that suggested they supplied kegs.

Looking at changing my broadband provider as I am out of contract and the wifi is next to useless every day and nowhere near what is being claimed 65Mb/s- image shows a really good day as its usually 12 Mb/s download 5 Mb/s upload. I frequently go through changing channels to try and avoid heavy tra...

How easy is it to check for stress issues with CFRC and what experience is there compared to metals? What would be the reason to choose CFRC as opposed to, say, titanium type designs? Cost? Weight? The shape was apparently to enable more passengers to be accommodated. One can use FEA on structural ...

Having worked with different classes of materials and taught materials engineering for a great number of years I must admit I found the design and choice of materials used perplexing. Firstly, the mechanical behaviour and failure of CFRC’s in tension are comprehensively modelled and understood. Henc...

There seems to be a view that rising in mortgage rates is unique to the UK ( and a ploy by ‘greedy’ banks to swell their coffers). Just do a bit of research…..

OK, for those that believe this to be the case I will save you the hassle:

If the club insist on employing 12 year olds to create web pages the least they should do is get an adult to proof read and check the grammar before going live.

Literally just crash the fking housing market and legislate to make being a landlord so absolutely awful that nobody wants to do it, and we won't need UBI. It's misidentifying the problem to say people don't have enough money. That's a symptom, not a cause. It's not that — it's that we have a sort ...

The OP makes a good point that raises serious questions about the validity of VAR. May be this will eventually tested out next season when Everton bring court action when relegated a contentious VAR offside leading to a 0: 1 home loss in the last game and last kick of the season. From a mechanics po...

Cycled along the kettlewell to Buckden road many a time in my youth - Sunday run Burnley to Hawes and back via Settle. I recall you can get a really good echo if you shout out across the valley at points along that stretch.

I think this OP is deserving of the classic: There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. Just to be clear, like.

Our perception of an atom structure fits with a very simplistic image ( Bohr model) but it is still nonsense.

Do your CH radiators still work ok? Just thinking if there was a problem with the heat exchanger then surely your radiators would suffer similar hot- cool cyclic problem.

Reading all of the above........you all need to set off 10 mins earlier. I'm exactly the same, but the anxiety caused by setting off late isn't worth it. RELAX.

As per Vintage experience - T1. Went through T1 at midday today. Some long queues backing up into check-in hall. It was fairly slow progress but got through in an hour. 8 out of the 12 security islands were operational.

So, the use of ethanol is purely aimed at reducing the carbon footprint. If that is the case why are they just targeting petrol engines when diesel engines will also run without too much ( and probably less) problem on ethanol mix. Maybe there'd be an almighty outcry by the transport industry as the...

( sorry DA unsure how that tag to you message happened ) There is probably quite a bit of information not divulged by our security services in her case.

Yes we do know she'ss never visited Bangladesh and its a world of difference in terms of removing citizenship of someone born here compared with someone being granted citizenship and having it revoked.

Her solicitor has advised that this is far from the end of the legal process. So, despite the courts firmly deciding that the retraction of her UK citizenship is lawful the UK taxpayers are going to continue to foot the bill for UK solicitors to continue legal challenges for someone who the courts ...

Quite like how our company are looking into allowing those who want to do it to trial it for 6 months and then decide if they want to carry on with it, whilst letting those happy doing 5 days just keep doing their 5 days as they are now. As said above, those working 5 days a week for the same pay w...

Where can you get a PSA test done if you cannot make that date?

Not seen my doctor for over 5 years so think pointless asking at the surgery- unless they are supposed to provide such a service.

atlantalad

Unsure how it can work and be fair to all. If applied in industry with 24 hour operation it will mean an extra shift/ personnel. If no extra shift added then it only confirms what the data shows: Uk industry as least productive in the western world. In other workplaces it would be very difficult to ...

That "putting it off as a touch of cramp in my chest." It's a horrible sensation - not exactly cramp or tightening but you know there is something really amiss going on that's hard to describe.

Open door double decker buses with those curved stair cases. Needed to get a firm grip on the rail on those stairs as the bus set off with a lurch. The conductor with their ticket machines.

It was concrete cancer. You probably don't get the grants to repair stuff like that. Building shiny brand new stuff with visible jobs ticks all the boxes.

Had a wry smile at " and used by generations to come." Must have been such a shoddy construction/ materials that it couldn't last more than 3 decades - that's hardly 1 generation.

As Burnley1989 says, it's easy to walk from Ightenhill ( Holiday Inn) towards Pendle. It's a nice, quiet walk through the countryside, which I have done a few times, in the opposite direction as I walk to Burnley town centre that way. You use the network of excellent public footpaths ( rights of way...

Don’t the FA have a two tier rule system - Premier league rules are not applicable to all lower leagues?

Unfortunately, yeah I think you would. As for "smart" motorways, from my experience , by their nature they create an environment whereby drivers acting from a safety point of view think, " if a car breaks down in the 1st lane with nowhere to go I could end up swerving out dangerously into the 2nd o...

In similar miserabilist vein...Why, when there is a queue at a petrol station, do some people take forever to set off and free-up the pump once they have got back into their car ?

Surely if a speed check has an average speed of 50mph and is 2 miles long then if you entered it at 60mph and during the 1st 500 yds slowing down to the 50mph, then at the end of the speed check area your average speed would have dropped to around 51.5 to 52 mph well within parameters ...

That's good for breaking down preconceptions and parsing ideas to get to basic definitions and such, but if you're learning something like, say, a musical scale, you've just got to sit down and remember the intervals, then bang it out again and again until it sticks. Quite true. I guess you can lea...
