Just been absolutely fucked over by Pokemon centre. Had booster in basket trying to pay for over an hour. Their server kept failing when I approved the payment 6 separate times. Now it’s back working but they are all sold out. I’ve stayed up when I really shouldn’t for nothing!

That was like watching Masters Football back in the day.

As someone at @WaltDisneyWorld for only a week and won’t be back for years, the Bluey virtual queue is a horrible stress and a disappointment.
You just know it’s being filled by people who want to be there day 1 and will have plenty of chances later. We won’t.

@AllEarsNet Was less than one second this morning.

Proof that Money means more in sport than either fans, fairness, competition, entertainment or community.

[James Fotheringham @jfswfc39]

Not a good day for sports then. Celtic predictably win an unwarranted title. GB lose the ice hockey, EFL voted for spending rules that widen the gap further and make it more unfair. Boring FA cup final between 2 teams i strongly dislike (who made the most of free spending).

@MrsGiFletcher Loved your session as part of Rail Wellbeing Live. Thanks for answering my question too 😊

[James Fotheringham @jfswfc39]

@SkyBet why is there no option for Tom Fletcher and Paddington the musical, One of Us in the Christmas number one betting?

[James Fotheringham @jfswfc39]

@mrjakehumphrey But the money is in the constructors championship. Red Bull have a clear 1 and 2 and look where that’s got them in the constructors.

Another Abu Dhabi F1 title decider. FIA don’t fuck it up this time please. Don’t try and be hero’s of entertainment, let the racing just work itself out!

If people do that with Pokemon cards, why not albums and vinyls. She could probably sell just the single bonus tracks and provide the bonus materials but making it the album means it counts towards sales. So you could get 250k people buy all 4 albums and get 1m sales.

I love how Taylor Swift has essentially used the “Pokemon model” to break the music industry. Releasing multiple variants of the same thing with slight differences and die hard fans buying each one (despite 12/13 of it being identical) in order to complete their “master set”.

[James Fotheringham @jfswfc39]

@the_traitors_ So hyped. The moment Claudia selects the Traitors is going to be MEGA!

[James Fotheringham @jfswfc39]

Is it just me, or has Pokemon essentially become "Printer sells the cards. Distributers buy them. They then sell to other distributers/shops. Eventually get opened by influencers on TikTok or Youtube". I doubt many kids or casual collectors even see packs anymore.

@YesWeCrann @Owlsonline Is it true Amass is the only one we could get across the line because he was the only loan with a 0% wage payment or fee and was purely development loan and anything we needed to pay anything for was being vetoed by the EFL?

[James Fotheringham @jfswfc39]

Unlike the @England men’s side, this @Lionesses side just does not give up. It’s never apathy, it’s usually just drama. It’s not soul destroying, it’s heart attack inducing. It’s just so much better.

[James Fotheringham @jfswfc39]

@AdamRichman The idea of you and Andi Oliver together actually would make me watch that show again. The celeb version with you two would be fire.

[James Fotheringham @jfswfc39]

@Owlsonline When they can afford to pay the kit manufacturer for them?

[James Fotheringham @jfswfc39]

@currys for a tech seller, their inventory management and website is shocking. Twice I’ve ordered something that says in stock for delivery to be told 2 days later that I’ll have to wait 3 days for a refund as there actually isn’t one in stock. Yet still showing on website now!

[James Fotheringham @jfswfc39]

Ferrari are so bad it’s hilarious.
