Oops.

ITV won’t be pleased

Still, I read in The Torygraph I think, that true rugby fans will carry on and enjoy the rest of the tournament
That counts me out then.

To be serious for once though, I do feel for those who take their sport more seriously than I do and I feel a tad guilty for hexing both of their games.
V. Sorry chaps, and I’m genuinely not being sarcastic.

Does anyone know the Vulcans overhead time. Couldnt get tickets but would like to see it with my Granddaughter
(Me for the last time and her for the first!)-so would try and get to a suitable spot nearby if at all possible.

The collection and VTTS are asking those who don’t have tickets to avoid the area.There will be active police activity to keep roads clear for safety reasons. So the answer is probably don’t try and get too close, sorry.

I’ll live with it. It isn’t that important to me either way. It’s only rugby:sleeping:

Glad to be of service BTW, I wouldn’t want to disappoint

Go Wallabies!

It will be worth it just to see Sir Clive’s expression.

Because the school had meetings on whether or arm the unarmed guard and decided against arming him.

Sadly the school board who deserves any misery that comes its way is not what suffered.

Utter bo**ocks.

not on quite the same scale as the OP, I had a frustrating conversation with a vendor recently.
I intended to purchase an item at £11. I started to put my debit card into in the requisite slot on the machine.
The vendor said, ‘is your card contactless?’
I said ‘yes, but I don’t wish to use it as a contactless card I’ll pay normally, thanks’
She said ‘ but it’s contactless, it is easier to use’
I said, ‘but I don’t wish to use it as a contactless card, I have never used it as contactless and have no intention of doing so. Can I use it chip and pin?’
She said ‘yes, but your card is contactless, it is easier for me if you use it contactless as it takes less time’
I said, ‘but I can use chip and pin?, I would prefer to use Chip and Pin’
She said ‘yes you can, but it is a contactless card’

I took my card out of the machine and gave her a £20 note.

Total transaction time, approx. 5.6 x the time it would have taken to put in the machine, her to press the appropriate spot on the till screen and me to type in my pin. A lose, lose situation for one and all. I know I was being stubborn, but if there is an option, why can’t I use it? ( grumpy old git alert)

I now have asked for a non-contactless card from my bank so I don’t have to go through this again.

Saw a big notice in my surgery last week boasting that you can now book appointments up to 8 weeks in advance. Oh, if only people would be sensible enough to plan their illnesses 2 months beforehand, instead of falling ill whenever they feel like it, and then expecting to see a doctor that same week.

I think you may be missing the point of the notice. If you need regular checks or followups, some systems in GP’s surgeries make it very difficult to book ahead, and I can assure you this causes considerable frustration for those people who need such slots. Your surgery is ‘boasting’ that you can make a followup appointment to suit you and the GP. Many would be envious of your ability to do so. Including me.

DPF’s were introduced in around 2005 by VW/Audi on some vehicles, and as standard on all diesels a little bit later , 2008? when they became EURO5 compliant. Before that they would ‘smoke’ under hard acceleration.
It is the EURO5 vehicles that are subject to this problem, any VW before 08 is not in the frame as I understand it.
