The Sporting Life / Re: Liverpool
« Last post by citoyen on Today at 12:47:39 pm »What the Hell is wrong with the BBC football editor? Their website headline is "Liverpool THRASH Tottenham". They persistently say THRASH if any team scores 4 or more. The actual score was 4 - 2, which is effectively 2 - 0 and by no means a THRASHING. And I don't support either team. I'm so lucky to be old enough to have read reports from Hugh McIlvanney, Michael Parkinson, John Arlott and even as far back as Neville Cardus.
Yours sincerely,
Old Bloke
I think thrashing is a fair reflection of the overall performance even if not the final scoreline. They switched off a bit towards the end but the game was already won by then.
Agree on the general point about sports journalists being lazy though.

I note that the intrepid Kim has been camping in the Lakes over the last few days where she has been horribly nibbled by midgies. Don't forget the repellant. Another site advises me that ticks are out in force this year as well.
Warmer & wetter.....

That also crossed my mind.
I suspect most here will already be thinking of Little Bobby Tables.

« Last post by Feanor on Today at 12:13:21 pm »I have electric UFH in the bathroom, under the tiles.
It does produce a nice warm-to-the feet thing.
But it's not a replacement for a radiator / towel rail for space heating. It doesn't generate enough heat for that.
Downstairs, we have wet UFH set into the concrete pad of an extension, and that *does* produce enough heat for space heating.
