1968claret

Women's football surely will not achieve its' potential until it is hyped up and the rewards are such that it becomes a realistic career option for a large number of athletes. I hope this happens sooner rather than later. You say that, but I’m not so sure. I really dislike what Elite mens football ...

Thanks Spiral. I suppose that is where I struggle though. We know that water boils at 99.97 degrees because we can see that and measure it. But we can’t possibly know whether any planet, our planet, or the sun could or could not explode. We can give a balance of probabilities I guess based on our ma...

And this is why in my humble opinion, it’s a complete waste of time and billions of pounds taking, what is in essence, photos of things that don’t exist. Let’s help this planet, even for the short term. I suppose it depends whether we learn anything useful to help this planet? That being said, how ...

As Beddie says, you do need to do some more digging. Whilst they have reduced your monthly payments, will that actually cover your energy costs each month or would you be building up debt with them?
For them to change by such a large amount, something isn’t right.

The life cycle of all types of star can be reduced to and described mathematically. Our Sun doesn't carry enough mass to supernovae (go kablam!!!). It's physically impossible. We're safe from that! You say that but we can’t be 100% certain can we. As humans, we have created lots of mathematical for...

I know, but that’s only a technicality isn’t it

In the great scheme of things we are just a tiny rock in a vast vast universe. What’s to say that there weren’t people on a message board in a star in a galaxy far far away saying just that when ………..boom

I get no satisfaction however watching mis matched contests as in the women’s Euros where England and others are sticking a hatful of goals past weak teams. This rarely happens in men’s tournaments and indicates that women’s football hasn’t reached a consistent level globally. Have you watched any ...

It is quite mind bending when you think about it. Those stars and galaxies probably no longer exist but the images are still travelling to us. It also makes you think, when they showed the aftermath of the star exploding. What’s to say that the star we are on could just do the same? Without the huma...

Don’t really care what level it is, don’t even see why we should compare it to any other levels either. The question is whether it is good entertainment to watch. And to be fair, I have quite enjoyed it. There is some good technical skill on show and the games on the whole have been entertaining. It...

Really enjoyed that. Thanks for posting.

The crime books by the author Neil White are a very good read.

Yes they are and he is a local guy. Used to work in Burnley and his early books were set locally.

1968claret

The Orphan X series by Gregg Hurwitz are excellent. He has also done a number of standalone books that are very good. I had never been much of a Stephen King fan but the Billy Gilmore book was excellent and I would also recommend the Mr Mercedes books from him. Anything from Harlan Coben, but partic...

It is hard to tell whether that is too much without knowing more of the detail. Is the amount you quote, your monthly direct debit figure or your actual usage. Do you know what your actual tarriff is per kWh? It will be on your bill. The numbers Lowbank quotes above are reasonable? Are yours similar...

Err, you’re welcome! Enjoy the holiday.

Thanks for the heads up on Expedia Clarets4me.
We are of to Mallorca in September.
Cheapest I had found was £350 for a small car. Last year we paid £150 for economy.

Managed to find one on Expedia £220 for economy. So much better than anywhere else. Cheers

Yeah was good footage. With the added bonus of seeing Dobbo and his pals at the end. Shame about the result though

Or maybe the truth is that the French authorities exaggerated claims of fraudulent tickets to cover their own ar$es?
Images now being shown of similar problems at the same stadium last night.

Really shouldn’t have happened. The idea of the furlough scheme was to avoid this type of situation. Maintaining the workforce so that we could move quickly back to normalcy after lock down. I am guessing that when Furlough scheme ended there was too much of a gap between that and the holiday trade ...

I think you are right. I seem to recall it was worth £4K.

Seriously? What’s disgraceful about poking fun at SDs usually phrases when asked on such matters.

Thankyou Sean and team for the best period I have enjoyed as a clarets fan.
Certainly the best Burnley manager in my lifetime and it could be argued our best ever manager.
I wish you all the best for the future. Thanks for a great claret journey and all the good you have brought to our town.

Does anyone know if my son can, who lives away, can use his share points to pay for my 2 season tickets. If so what has he got to do. He just needs to add you both as friends and family. You then go into the option to buy season ticket for them and the ‘use points’ option. Very straightforward, jus...

Completely shocked by this news. Loved him as a player and more latterly as a pundit. I saw him play for Hampshire at Glamorgan. All the way through the game, kids were asking for his autograph. He kept saying that he couldn’t during the game but would do after the match. At the end of the game he c...

Nice sentiment Elizabeth. But let’s be honest. If we go a goal down, it ain’t going to happen

I put all my paperwork in before the deadline, including copies of Will etc. haven’t had any emails from club despite chasing up by email. I went into the club a couple of weeks ago and the lady on reception checked and could see that all my paperwork had been noted as being received. So at least I ...

Am a real Reacher fan. Loved all the books. Thought Cruise did ok, whilst not actually looking like Reacher.
But really loved this series and looking forward to the next one.

Also another mention for the Bosch series. They are excellent!

Read this and immediately went to BBC website. Nothing on there!
Wondered why someone would make up such a thing.
Then read the date of the OP!
Had completely forgotten!
My favourite Bond although Daniel Craig now a very close second.

1968claret

Saw him playing for the Patriots. Seeing up close the skill levels involved to see the pass and then execute it with precision whilst having 5 defenders trying to trample him was amazing.

1968claret

Thanks CT and Oakworth. Will drop them an email to chase.

1968claret

Could I just check if anybody else is still waiting for the email confirming that payment will be made?
I haven’t had any such email yet? Our case involved transfer of ownership from the original shareholder so I expected some delay but just wondered if anyone else in the same position?

Come on Burnley. Going to need a real Backs to the Wall effort from the boys tonight!

Wasn’t starting on you boatshed. Just think that if someone has such an issue with how the board is run then why not just leave it? Really don’t understand why you would keep posting.
As I say, nothing aimed at you.

Perhaps Diamondpocket is a member of the women's team? ;) Perhaps Fiamondpocket should just leave this board if he doesn’t like it? He/she doesn’t have to come on here.

Not quite sure what will happen here. I think Mercedes are correct, the normal rules were not followed and it left LH a sitting duck on the last lap. That being said I am not sure I would want the title to be settled in a courtroom. One thing that must happen next season is far greater clarity on th...
