It seems to be taken for granted that all babies cry, all the time. Can this be proved?

I'm sorry but I'd be lost without my phone

You can carry a map too.

My mobile phone is just that - a phone, not a smartphone - which means that I don't need to carry it. Which is just as well, because every time I want to use it I find I've left it switched on and the battery is flat.

Have to agree tbh. I'm not sure a noisy football match is a place for a small child.

Surely that would depend on the child.

I think it's selfish personally. I don't wish to listen to a screaming brat next to me, especially if the game isn't all that at the time either. Get a babysitter. If the baby is screaming every week, then they almost certainly won't keep bringing it, and will take it home early. That's how parents...

Why on earth would you want to take a tiny baby to a football match?

So that by the time they are old enough to object to going, it will have become a fact of life and they won't realise they had a choice!

It's more the not having to carry a wallet around with me that I like.

On the other hand, with a card or cash you don't have to carry a phone. Even better.

Was told back end of last week to expect the biggest increases to be for U18/21 and senior tickets. And talk of a 25% increase on hospitality prices!

Hospitality prices went up 25% last year. Surely they don't expect people to return if they do it again?

If there is it has nothing to do with google pay and fingerprint recognition.

I’m not really sure where you’re going. Someone could sit behind me on the train and see me enter my phone password. Ditto my PIN number at the cash machine.

No, you can't just scan someones fingerprint on a random device and link to some remote bank account via google pay. Thank you, but that's not really what I am wondering what might happen.

And after another postponement yesterday, Colne's last week of the season has matches on Saturday Monday Tuesday Thursday Saturday. So still room for two more!

But you said ‘Steal a phone, and if it has a good fingerprint anywhere on the case, you're in’, which suggests it’s quite a simple task and a valid security concern which it obviously isn’t. If someone stole my phone I think there’s a good chance I would be able to lock it before someone cloned my ...

Well one has to assume that he has some potential to play in league one because he's said to have had a decent season, but there's one hell of a gap between league one and Premier league.

Nonsense, biometric data like anything can be hacked but the idea that anyone who robs a phone has the capability to use a fingerprint on the case to get into it is rubbish. No doubt its possible but it will very much be the rare exception that the thief can do this themselves and by the time a thi...

How exactly would you get into someone’s phone with a fingerprint from the case?

No idea, not my field. It is, however, possible to make a rubber finger with any given fingerprint on it, if you have the print. Any suggestion that it can't be done and never will be able to be done, is unlikely.

dsr

Steal a phone, and if it has a good fingerprint anywhere on the case, you're in. One worry about fingerprint technology is that once the thieves have it (and they will, because no system is foolproof) then you're a bit stuffed. you can change your PIN number, but you can't change your fingerprints. ...

Would a ship that large not take a straight line to the gap it was going in for at least half a mile?
So if they lost power, it would still go on the right course?

No. Oceans have currents which would tend to push a ship off its course as soon as it loses power.

That's absolutely spot on - last increase was back in 2017 and they have kept them at the same for next season. They also provide free coach transport to every away game.

You are way off the mark here. I don’t dislike Trafford and I have never said anything abusive about him on this board unlike some other posters. I just don’t think he is a very good goalkeeper at present and our manager has made a massive error of judgement in keeping him in the side up until the ...

For instance they only have one General Hospital.

Is it a good general hospital? The question would arise, is it better to live 50 miles away from your hospital but it's a good one, or to live in the East Lancashire Hospital Trust area?

Are you sure about that? Never heard that before.

It's normal tax rules. If you make a contract to supply any service, the taxable income is based on when the service is provided, not when you raise the invoice or get the cash.

They might be waiting until the new tax year to do a tax write off or something. If they get a load of income they’ll have to pay tax on it before the deadline. That’s assuming they use the normal tax schedule. Any money that comes in re. next season won't be taxable until next season. It makes no ...

"Follow Blackpool Home and Away" is a good clue as to the opponents and ground, unless it's a massive trick question. As for the players, I'll start with number 7 - either Brian Flynn, or the mascot forgot to leave the pitch.

As for the point about it’s better for royal family to be “head of state” than some of the PMs we have had.

I think scraped a win is very harsh on us.
