Thanks both. It looks like I may be going to court then as these are exceptional circumstances and I shall leave it upto the judge if I am issued with a CCJ. If it makes you feel better there's probably only a 5% chance you'll get summoned to court, and even then when it looks like you're not going...

SammyBoy

A CCJ happens when you owe someone money and fail to repay it as agreed. You can ignore these tickets until you get summoned to court, if you go to court and the court decides you do indeed owe the money then you have to repay or you get a CCJ. However, being taken to court is rare, and you might wi...

Ignore everything bar a court summons. If that happens go to court and appeal to the judge, worst that can happen is you have to pay the fine and a small admin fee. I’ve still got debt collection letters turning up every now and again from a ticket in Feb 23, but they can’t do anything til they take...

I had a season ticket from 6 years old until 18 when I left for Uni, then again from around 23 to 29. However about that time I moved to Preston and the journey combined with the quality of the football back then made it start to become a bit of a chore. I have a 2 year old now and another child on ...

Sounds pretty typical. I have Portuguese in-laws so visit Lisbon a couple of times a year at least, the rest of society functions like this too.

Anyone got the still of Flemming’s celebration? Need to send it to a dear Blackburn based friend of mine.

SammyBoy

I’ve stumbled across a few videos/interviews online of him over the past month or two, got the sense he was mentally spiralling. I can imagine reaching that level of fame so young would melt a lot of people’s brains tbh.

AJ KO, Dubois is powerful but I think AJ is the better overall fighter.

Dunno but it came with a picture so it's either him or someone who looks a lot like him.

Can confirm Manchester does direct flights to Lisbon, been on many of them.

SammyBoy

That year Blackburn were third after 26 games with a minus 4 goal difference their XG was terrible, which confirmed to me they were in a completely false position relative to their performances.

SammyBoy

Surely in contention for the greatest ever Aussie?

I went a couple of years ago, it's a really picturesque country and felt very safe compared to other developing countries I've visited (e.g. Brazil). We stayed at a resort in the north near Pointe aux Biches, but hired a car which is essential to get around - to be honest I saw very little in the wa...

I’m sorry to say it again it’s Moysey.

SammyBoy

Everyone I knew at the time had a chipped card instead of a subscription, which was probably a contributing factor.

SammyBoy

I wonder if he was actually good or just 6ft and rapid at 13 years old. I remember him doing an interview where he said he couldn't play on the crap pitches whenever he got loaned out because he was too used to the high quality surfaces at Utd's academy.

SammyBoy

Richard Eckersley has a vegan food shop, or something like that. Got to wonder whether that guy was actually a footballer or won a competition.

SammyBoy

Haven’t followed HS2 beyond the headlines but the standout question for me is how much are tickets going to cost given tickets on the existing lines are already crazy prices? What’s the point having a high speed rail link if it’s prohibitively expensive.

Le Tissier has gone full “bloke in his 50’s who discovered the internet last week”, seen it happen countless times.

It's interesting that Walcott's first England appearance was 2006, and his last was 2016. To my mind he personifies those abject post-Sven, pre-Southgate wilderness years for the national team. In fact, I'd argue the same could be said about him regarding Arsenal's slide from dominant top two team t...

Probably worth reading that, another poster had pretty much the same situation a few months ago.

I usually switch on close to kick off but I’ve had the whole coverage on today in the background. I can’t believe there’s literally an hour of Carragher and Neville dissecting the weekends games in tedious detail.

SammyBoy

It's a matter of time before the disposables are banned, and rightly so as they're terrible for the environment and are designed to be as "kid friendly" as possible. The normal ones I don't see an issue with tbh, people are always going to use nicotine and they're an improvement on smoking.

SammyBoy

Didn't want to get a job so sort of floated through Uni and now have an MA in History that I've never used, started out in procurement after that but it didn't really suit me, so I've worked in sales for the last 6 or 7 years.

SammyBoy

I’m thinking potentially a late stoppage by Spence.

SammyBoy

Chris Waddle would likely get in.

Edit - can now see OP included him.

SammyBoy

I asked my mate who's British-Indian whether it rings true that that Venky's persist with Blackburn because writing it off as a bad job is culturally shameful. He said it's much more likely that owning an English football team is something they can chuck into conversation to impress people, and that...

I'm fixed at 2.5% til October 2025, but I'm not sure that'll be long enough to fully ride this out - time to start playing the lottery. Genuinely grim times for people coming to the end of their fix. The crazy price of houses today means even a few percent increase is disastrous for borrowers, not m...

Roche was very much a part of the post ITV Digital “cobbled together squad” era.

The best way to phase out oil is to make production of sustainable alternatives cheaper, no self-respecting capitalist is going to choose a moral obligation to the planet over money so until it's more profitable to use something else oil will be here to stay.

SammyBoy

I've always thought the message should be more along the lines of "lets try and wean ourselves off oil", surely if we turned the tap off things would stop working pretty quickly.

SammyBoy

Which is why it has to be extensively trialled I suspect It might not work, but to dismiss it out of hand just because a lot of very rich people, Rowls and pensioners are against it isn't correct either Yeah, just not sure how you'd gauge the macroeconomic effects of UBI without the universal part ...

SammyBoy

I haven’t had time to think about UBI all too deeply and I’m no economist but the first thing that sprang to mind was hypothetically, should we all receive £1600 per month on top of whatever income we have now, won’t the price of everything inevitably go up leaving people in a similar position (rela...

The Protection of Freedom Act 2012 (POFA) legislated in part private parking. Prior to this you could simply ignore all demands as they were not legally enforceable. The simplest thing to do is to speak to the manager of McDonalds and explain that you were with young children, there was a long wait...

SammyBoy

It was sound advice before the Regs changed.... Mostly it's poor advice on here as per usual. Don't ignore them now - that doesn't work any more. It also doesn't matter what shop or store you were in ..or how much you may have bought in there. If the signs in the car park (regardless of which store...

Pretty much all private parking charges are largely unenforceable - I've had a few and never paid them (council issued ones are a different story). Here's a good place to start if you want some advice on how to proceed https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4816822/newbies-private-parking-...

Think Barclay has played about 30 times for Nice this season.

My gut feeling is that Long can get more money elsewhere rather than he's been released because he's not up to it.

Interesting to see the Championship commentary being highlighted here - I too have found this refreshing. The EFL commentators seem to take a measured approach and actually try and give a balanced view of the game, unlike in the PL where it's some maniac sounding on the verge of orgasm whilst scream...

I don't get on many games these days but been on plenty of Accy Clarets coaches in the past, always well run and a good craic - well done to all concerned.

Great on highlights of our goals, awful to sit and listen to for 90 minutes. Was even worse back in the days when you could only listen and not watch and he would claim every decision against Burnley was the wrong one. Back when it was audio only he still commentated as though it was a TV broadcast...

Been mentioned already but Zavon Hines was appalling, no surprise he spent the rest of his career floating around the L2/National League level. The same could be said for Chris Long, I seem to recall after being left out of the team at one point he wasn't training and admitted the only thing he was ...

I assume Van der Schaaf was meant to play the position Grezza ended up in, i.e. CDM, but for whatever reason that didn't pan out. Also, regarding Dane Richards, if Wikipedia is to be believed he didn't make a senior professional appearance until he was 24 which seems bizarre, apparently he was playi...
