Did they use them at any time except when the teams came out? All seemed a bit pointless to me

I have a Yothu Yindi album from my trip to Oz back in 96-97, absolutely love it, but don't have a clue what they're singing about. Fairly sure they performed at the ANZ Stadium for the first Superleague game in 97

I have hotmail.com, but my wife has hotmail.co.uk - it wasn't available when I set up my account in 1996!

What does Sussex count as?
Personally, as a native South Londoner (well, 3 miles south of Croydon) I regard The North as anything over the Thames!

That's harsh on Canvot - if you have to play a 19 year-old centre back in the Premier League then you have to accept the occasional mistake, particularly when playing in a team low on confidence. He's generally looked excellent otherwise, and will be a quality player in a year or so.

Wish I still had my 2 monitor setup, but when we moved to our new office they gave us all single extra-wide curved monitors instead. Makes for a lot more organising every time I open a new window

I know JP is a big guy, but does he really need a Global 6000?

My daughter managed to get a couple yesterday for the extra dates, she was quite surprised there were some left 3 hours after going on sale

I suspect it is probably the reason - I doubt anyone would want to risk drinking the water from the taps in the toilets at a football ground

In their defence, that is a pain in the arse. However I can totally understand why it's now a requirement & fully support it.
Does get interesting at football where you're not allowed to have a lid on your bottle for some bizarre reason

What a great name! As a boy mine was the Coulsdon Bourne (which I don't think I ever saw, since it's underground & doesn't flow except for exceptionally wet periods), but now it's the Arun

I totally appreciate that, just thought I would show the other side of the coin. As an ex-Londoner who moved to Sussex 22 years ago because it was too expensive to stay, I guess it makes sense that school numbers are dropping as young people do the same as I did

But then look at more rural areas outside London - our local primary is full, and they've already built 1,000 new houses without adding any new school capacity. Now they're planning another 1,500 and the developers have mentioned a new school, but unless an academy is interested it will never appear

That sounds like a very British way of looking at things - I guess we're both masters of understatement

Not directly I'm afraid, but I know I've read it somewhere. A quick search brings up this summary (AI I know, but it seems to have used pretty good sources). Maybe doubling the cost was a bit of an exaggeration on my part

And not just speed, but unnecessarily high speed. Main reason for HS2 costs increasing was the insistence on 250mph running - the engineering requirements for that extra 50mph pretty much doubled the cost, all so Boris could say it was the fastest in Europe

I thought it was pretty much at full capacity already, that's what HS2 was meant to resolve
