Re: Anyone Seen Trainspotting 2 Yet?

I saw it on Friday night and was pleasantly surprised, as there have been so many sequels that have been dreadful. It didn't have the in your face shock factor/cult element of the first one but I didn't think it would ever be able to replicate that and they would have been foolish to have tried. Tha...

Re: How long until the Soaps are finished

I watched Coronation Street, and to a lesser extent Eastenders regularly as a kid/teenager, mainly due to my grandparents and mum being fans but since then I haven't bothered. I have to admit if I ever turn the TV on and see Eastenders it usually makes me laugh, somebody is either in tears or offeri...

Re: Today's Brexit vote

I think, speaking to friends and colleagues, that quite a lot of moderate remainers would switch to leave if they had another chance. I'm in that category and it'd be a real dilemma for me. The claim that more leave voters didn't understand what they were voting for than remain voters is weak. Yes ...

Re: Today's Brexit vote

Don't want to get into pedantry here but when the result is 48 52 keep saying the country is split, which is a tactic of the bbc, over and over again doesn't reflect the truth or the result. It's simply down to maths or perhaps more accurately if you accept the result. Burnley beating Southampton b...

I tend to go for either Erdinger or Dortmunder which are around £3.40 but I know what you mean, there are cheaper alternatives available.

Re: The Bridge Bier Huis Pub - Burnley

If The Bridge is struggling then all the other landlords in Burnley might as well write it off as a bad job.

Re: Burnley worth buying

He's probably right, I don't see why a potential investor wouldn't consider a club like us. The problem for the fans and current board is sorting out the Abramovich type buyer from the Venky type.

Re: Today's Brexit vote

I've no figures to back it up but I would suspect, to a large extent, the labour voters were not those generally voting to remain. I agree with this, from my experience and people I've spoken to the 'traditional' Labour voters will have voted Leave. The really left-wing (and arguably younger) Corby...

One reason why it might be a rocky road is that remoaners will still be bleating about it in years to come instead of just getting on with it.
