What is hacking you off today?

[Yorkshire Blue]

Grantland getting culled as part of the latest tit-for-tat ******** between Bill Simmons and ESPN.

:sad:

Not good. Not good at all.

I really think there's a market for quality sportswriting. A friend of mine, sadly no longer with us, was involved in a cricket magazine and I had this discussion with him on a couple of occasions. You can pick up the run of the mill stories on any source. What you don't get is the quality in-depth pieces. That is what will distinguish you in a crowded market place (and sportswriting is very crowded). Grantland did that.

I also think that the market for quality sportswriting is going to be one that is particularly attractive to advertisers. Those reading it will generally be better educated and therefore typically better off with more disposable income. They'll read it in detail rather than flicking through. Oh well, I'm sure there will be more lowest common denominator stories instead.

Another Nigella programme on TV.

A privileged woman who keeps getting luckier.

I saw her in Canary Wharf a few weeks ago and she looks awful.

Cannot abide the woman, comes across as a right stuck up cow... Cannot believe they still allow her on tv, serial abuser of substances :thumbdown:

Be honest people. How many of you know the rules for when you should use your fog lights?

  Spoiler:  

Rule 226
You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves

One of my bug bears is people that use their fog lights when there's a tiny bit of mist.

Note to self, take out tape measure when it's a bit foggy.....

I got stopped a few years ago when I had foggies on and it wasn't foggy enough. The PC told me;

Fog lights to be used in fog and/or falling snow when visibility is less than 100 yards. (I haven't peeped!)

Metres. You have failed your driving test.:nope:

 

[RobM]

Oh yes! That's right. Sadly I don't possess a 100 metre tape measure! But it's a guess anyway, isn't it?

e.g. Without looking it up, how long is the Roots Hall pitch?

Oh I know the rules but that didn't stop me in my youth having fog lights on the front of my Mini on more than off and rear fogs in the mini wired up to my brake lights 😀

300m? ......

Oof, I just googled it and I was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out.

You must have been ****ing cool!

Listening to Wittertainment (not with Mayo & Kermode but Sanjeev Baskar & James King), and the review of Spectre gives away so much of the surprise moments it's a shocker. I don't care myself as I won't go out of my way to watch it, but come on!

First there was The Great British Bake off. That sort of did ok, so what can we follow that up with? I know:

The Great Pottery Throw Down

Oh yes, according to one of the judges, ceramic artist Kate Malone “Pottery is almost as good as sex, it’s so physical and so fantastic.” FFS.

I got stopped for having fog lights on when it wasn't foggy at all. Got a fine and breathalysed.

You think that's bad? What about that crap based on catching fish? I've never seen such rubbish.

'Hacked off' would be stretching it, but look at the state of this ****ing bellend
