    How gullible is the "average" person?

    Frequently seem to come across stuff on social media that looks dodgy (made up quotes etc) and the comments suggest many people take it at face value and don't question it at all. Is this is a bigger problem in wider society than we think or just a small sample of the outliers? My mind is...

    Three body problem

    Out on Netflix in a couple of days. Its a very clever book, but unfilmable surely? Could be a confused mess but will be interesting to see if they can somehow pull it off. Big gamble for the game of thrones people after the mess they made of that in the end. But fair play for not playing it...

    5 a side football opinion piece in guardian

    Is 5 a side footy really that bad? I've played thousands of games over the years. I've played in competitive leagues on Teesside, Leeds and York and numerous after work/casual kickabouts with no doubt hundred of different people. While I recognise some of what this bloke is saying, it was...

    Empathetic refereeing

    Just all a bit odd isn't it? Why on earth would the referee say that anyway. Basically "appreciate this might be a highly charged atmosphere, don't worry I plan to let loads of stuff go". How does telling the managers that help in any way shape or form? Wouldn't it just encourage players to be...

    Open top bus

    I see Sheff Utd have treated themselves to an open top bus tour for not winning the championship. Would we want one if we won the play-offs? Not for me, division winners only. If that. Ideally it'd be major silverware only. Don't think we did when we finished 2nd did we? The players just...

    Hancock's solicitor

    It's as if Hancock's bumbling incompetence is contagious. Not like attention to detail is something you need as a solicitor anyway......😂

    Comedy/flukey Boro goals

    For or against. There have obviously been a fair few over the years. One that springs to mind whenever I think of Steve Bruce is our 5th goal in a 5-3 win v Birmingham. Fitting end to a crazy game where both teams apparently forgot how to defend. Bruce's reaction sums it up perfectly.

    Name a nationality who has played for boro

    We've had a lot Don't think we've had a Slovenian before? Definitely not a Cuban so two new ones. How many do we think as many as 50? One nationality per post, see how many we get? Anyway I'll go for Luxembourg - Mahmoutovic.

    BBC website report

    Usual high standard. Starts of by referring to us as the home side, but then follows up with this this beauty: "Reading came into the game with an inconsistent record against Boro, having lost seven of their previous eight league meetings with the Teesside club." Not sure about anyone else...

    Head of government legal department quits

    Another one bites the dust https://www.ft.com/content/6186bf1c-055b-4de6-a643-4eea763e1b94 Not happy with the proposed changes to withdrawal agreement. That's another very capable experienced senior civil servant who can't work with this government.

    Credit to the players

    Yes, Warnock is quite rightly getting the plaudits. And yes, the players are responsible for where we were in the first place. But still, I think some credit is due to the ones still here at the end of the season. They were down and out. By Warnock's own admission he didn't have much time to...

    Warnock's Last Dance

    Made me chuckle anyway.

    Does anyone really care about blue passports?

    I don't get it? I suppose I can see the point that it's symbolic to a degree. But it's something the majority of people will use once or twice a year max. It's not unique either, loads of countries have blue passports. The fanfare that the government and idiots like Farage seem to think it...
