@BongoAlley@reformexposed Well probably be ok this winter because of El-nino, but one thing that always impressed me in the past is that when we got snowed in, we'd be ploughed out by lunchtime. That isn't going to happen anymore
@Drbeasttips @PenicuikAth It certainly doesn't. Here's the goals from Tow Law (black and white stripes) v Chester-le-Street (red) a few days ago. Fun fact: Tow Law's Iron Works Road ground is the second highest in England, beaten - by just 43 feet by Buxton

@KathyEPearson@dave43law Bookies don't actually predict outcomes - only 1/3 of favourites win horse races. They balance books based on the expected/actual amounts wagered on each option so whoever wins they make a profit.
Farage being favourite is only a reflection of the amount of money placed on him
@philipjones09@AwayDaysFB On the morning of the match the pitch was waterlogged and unplayable. Even after the efforts of the ground staff and local volunteers there was so much sand on it, it would probably have been called off had it been a normal league game. Thankfully common sense prevailed
@philipjones09@AwayDaysFB In 2001 a number of the Falmouth Town supporters made the longest away trip ever to Bedlington in Northumberland for an FA vase tie.
@ZeroBarkThirty2@RupertLowe10 Exactly. How does he propose the animals are slaughtered?
Is his problem that an Imam or Rabbi say a prayer as the animal dies but a church of England vicar doesn't?
All animals are stunned then hung upside down and their throats cut so they bleed out.
@sphaphiwo@danielstorey85 I can't see FIFA cheating for Messi just cos Mbappe isn't there.
That said, depending on what happens tonight, I might be here tomorrow agreeing with you
@ZoeJardiniere@Alonso_GD 2250m above sea level is pretty extreme. This paper suggests that's worth a goal head start (0.5 goals per 1000m)

@mridhoftries @MattSingh_ Nope. That's the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland.
Britain is England, Scotland and Wales, sometimes referred to as "Great Britain" because it's the largest of the British Isles
