"We're about the only country in the world that charges for drop off at airports.. none of the 10 busiest airports in the EU charge, neither do major intl hubs.. [or] most airports in America" Just one more example of how we're all being ripped off.

@robpizzola Get your point but it's prime time Sat night in Europe. This side of the draw was always likely to have a Euro team or two playing. Advertising wins. I also follow cricket, so 5 nights, 23:00 to 06:00 over 5 Tests is a thing.

Seems I have upset a fair bit of Europeans with this one so let me clarify because the point is getting twisted. I am not saying you can schedule around the entire planet. You obviously can't do that. The time zones make it impossible and I get that completely. I am a Canadian hockey fan who watched Canada and the US play an Olympic gold medal game in the morning my time because it was in Milan Cortina. Not ideal, but you accept it, because the event was in Europe. I have set alarms for the middle of the night to catch events. That is the deal when the tournament is somewhere else. This is my point exactly. When you are the host, the schedule should lean toward you. This World Cup is being staged by three North American hosts at an estimated cost north of 20 billion dollars. The least FIFA can do is put the marquee knockout games in a window that works for the market paying to host them. I am not asking for anything that the non-North American hosts don't already get. Just put a semifinal between Spain & France somewhere better than 3pm on a Tuesday.
Rob Pizzola@robpizzola

Cannot believe the France vs Spain semifinal is 3pm on a Tuesday. A weekday afternoon. North America is hosting this World Cup. Put the final at 3pm Saturday... fine... it's the weekend. But scheduling a semi at 3pm on a workday to cater to Europe while North Americans get shafted is a joke. And before anyone says a lot of the tournament games have been in the afternoon, that is not the point. This is a HUGE semifinal. When you host, the marquee games go in your prime time. That is how the Olympics work, that is how past World Cups have worked. The host market gets the showcase window. North America is hosting and got skipped for a weekday matinee. What is even the point of hosting?

Just sliced into the legendary Pâté-croûte Béchevelin XXL from Lyon and I’m speechless 😍 Tender veal, pork, rich foie gras and crunchy pistachios wrapped in a buttery golden crust. Absolute Lyon perfection! This is what dreams are made of ✨

People may not want to admit this but the United States could easily host every World Cup and rotate cities without any issues. The number of high end facilities and venues across the country is insane. Think of the cities/venues that are NOT hosting matches

In Dallas sind gerade 32 Grad. Das Stadion, in dem gerade 94.000 Menschen Argentinien gegen Österreich sehen, ist mit gigantischen Klimaanlagen auf ca. 22 Grad runtergekühlt. Und wir reden in Deutschland darüber, wie wir das Weltklima retten.

@NotSamCane Did NFTs not happen. Who wants a digital collection. Opening a pack, paid for with your pocket money is the whole point.

@TheSimonEvansX They'll not see you out if you don't moisturise them. Leather balm, it won't spoil the worn in look.

Just collected these old faithfuls from Timpson after their roughly three yearly re-soling. Grafton brogues by Church’s. These are the shoes that I wore when telling the “Three Men” joke at the Edinburgh gala in 2010. And I’d already had them a couple of years then. And furthermore, I actually bought them, very slightly used, on EBay. Might be twenty years old now. They are getting nicely worn in now anyway and I am confident will see me out. This, imho, is the best way to be “sustainable” etc with your purchases. Buy the very best quality and maintain it.
