No, I think they mean the one where the drummer does most of the beats and the football crowd chant "England" "City" etc on the last two.
In 4/4 time the beats are on:

1,3
1,2,3
1,2,3,4
2,3
With the 2,3 the "England" shout.

Google says it was in an instrumental by The Routers, 1963 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxCIEHABB1M but whether they made it up or it was around before then I haven't found anything.

I'm really not knowledgeable on this subject so hopefully someone can explain, how can someone be taken to court for opening a gate, a person on the ground making on the spot decisions will be tried for making the decision to open a gate?

We need a clue, what are you talking about?

According to the Wiki page, 2016 round pound coins aren't intended for circulation, and there's only the single variant, so Vipers' Scottish coin might be hooky!

My 2016 one the NEW design, not the round one, anyway I have emailed the Royal Mint, see what they say.

Coins are stamped with the year they are minted, not when put into circulation, there's millions of 2016 new pound coins.

Was my thoughts, but what a random question.

Apologies yes I was watching the news and it's being reported the commander on the ground is being taken to court as he made the decision to open a gate.

It's way easy to find out about what went on that day, suffice to say the crux of it is error compounded by inaction, followed by conspiracy. Allegedly. It really serves no useful purpose asking a first principles question about Hilsborough here, it's been going on for 28 years. Everything is out there, only now there is sub judice to consider too.

Top work, I think you've got to the bottom of it. For a while I thought this tune was ingrained in our DNA!

Why are there seemingly no diabetic professional footballers?

Gary Mabbutt has Diabetes.

Should've probably worded that a little better, I meant famous. I knew of the majority of that list, Mabbutt mainly but no others.

The most high profile there I know is Nacho.

As someone who likes squeaky clean hair every day I tend to use Vosene shampoo.

What baffles me is why does it stop giving the same squeaky clean hair after using it for a month? Then if I use some of my wifes shampoo (the usual herby, flowery, pure essence, tea tree, special nutrient st) then it's squeaky clean.

After a while it's the same with that shampoo so back to vosene and it's all good?

Weird

Your hair secretes oils to look after itself that the shampoo removes, so it secretes more and more to counteract the shampoo. It's said that if you stop washing your hair, after a period of time it stops feeling horrible and greasy then feels really good. I always bottle out before it starts feeling good.

Yup, there's an entire industry built around stripping your natural oils off with detergents then replacing them with inferior artificial conditioner, litterally rinse and repeat. I've not used shampoo for about a year; asked my barber the other day if he'd heard of people not using shampoo and if he reckoned he could tell the difference, he thought he'd know and was mildly surprised when he couldn't tell with mine.
Who'd have thought that our bodies would have a natural process for that...:

Haven't used shampoo for years, and can't remember the last I time used other than ordinary soap for shaving.

Random thought for the day and might well have been covered previously.

Why is Sat Nav traditionally in landscape format? I'd have thought portrait would be better since we are mainly more concerned with seeing as far in front as possible and not the church a mile to the left.

Come off it, what about 5 times Olympic gold medallist Sir Steve Redgrave.

Interestingly most of the ones on that list are type 1. Not surprising really.

Whilst in Subway today, there was a notice near the till saying " We do not accept £50 notes".

If its legal tender, haven't they got to accept it?

All to do with whether a 'debt' needs to be paid. If you go into subway and order a sandwich, then when you get to the till you have either no money or a £50 note they don't want to accept, then they will just throw your sandwich away and put your cookie and drink back on display. However if you go into a restaurant and enjoy a lovely meal, then go to pay with a £50 note at the end, then they can't exactly argue you are refusing to pay as you have offered them legal tender. Same point with Scottish or NI notes, they don't have to accept them if there isn't a debt.

It doesn't mean that a debt has to be settled in legal tender. You could offer to pay with a painting or a sack of potatoes if the restaurant agrees. I have no idea how this would be accounted for or taxed, as you can't pay 20% of a painting or a handful of potatoes to the taxman.

Depends how all the icons around it are displayed. Most sat nav units are landscape but anyone who uses their phone seems to just have it in portrait mode. I have a proper sat nav (and currently no car) so I haven't used any phone based system, do they give you the option of both?
