Yeah that sounds about right, have you looked into batteries as well? Pushes up costs but does give flexibility.

Not sure I did use them now looking at it, think I used them for boilers last year. Google Search is awful.

That does sound like semantics to me so not sure anyone would really believe that! What would be hilarious though is a massive points deduction, then go unbeaten and avoid relegation. Upset the Invincibles.

It was up to City to do that though. Don't understand why they didn't bring in the CEOs of those companies. Or perhaps they did and those are what the commission found "Dishonest" 😱

I think people think using AI is being creative! It's regurgitating stuff. It's like taking a dictionary, randomising the words and calling it Lord of the Rings! I'm not creative and I rely on artists to generate great content that I enjoy.

Barijohn @barijohn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I think for me it is the stupidity of it all! If you are going to do dodgy stuff then don't put it in writing and email it around to people. I agree the rules were put in place to stop City but they could have been cleverer than this to hide it. Like I assume most of the other clubs have been.

From my point of view it's totally taken away from the Aguero moment and winning everything. I felt amazing when we won things but now it all feels hollow. I am sure all the other clubs are doing similar and that the rules have been put in place to protect the status quo but they are the rules. 😢

Yeah as a city fan feel totally gaslit by the owners!

To be honest, I'd rather they take every cup win away for those 8 years, relegate the club and make owners sell.

Barijohn @barijohn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
As a city fan I'm feeling disgusted over it. Been gaslit by the owners as well. They all have to go.

Barijohn @barijohn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Everyone at board level has to go. I've been hoping they weren't dodgy but looks like we have been gaslit for the last few years by the owners.

Barijohn @barijohn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Cannot see a way out now. That's fraud on a massive scale and to be honest it's totally made me furious with the owners. The arrogance is off the scale! This is disgusting and every other club and fan is entitled to want us shut down.

There is a mix of contracts nowadays. So early renewable ones are fixed to gas, however some are now fixed prices. Which is why Gas prices aren't as impactful as they were a few years ago. Slowly those old contracts are being removed but not quickly enough.

Barijohn @barijohn.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Does give ammunition on why they don't cooperate with the Premier league when this happens. No one seems to know what is going on and that just allows for more speculation. Should be release the findings and the sanctions at the same time.

Probably clutching at straws but weren't first reports from CAS saying similar, that we'd been found guilty? Not read anything though just the reports on here.

Would be interesting to see public charging on this graph though as that is the biggest barrier for me. If you cannot charge at home then you are massively penalised. Makes me even consider a Tesla.

Well before 2008 Man City where the most likable club... Mainly due to us being inept. I'd say nowadays it's probably Brentford or Bournemouth.

BBC Player Rating: Savio 7: Some lively moments on the right flank hinted at the promise of good things to come. Faded as the game went on. Have they never watched him play for City? Hinting at promise was his whole shtick for 2 years!

In the opposite direction in the game Mass Effect Humans find FLT technology and reengineer it in 3 years and then built a fleet in 2 years! At war in under 10 years is more relatable though!

On the social media side my default position is that it's fake. I think this is going to bite them in the ass at some point. If it's just AI bots making things up people will stop using it... I can hope anyway!

The columnariat are, quite simply, some of the worst people in society. They will murder you, cry at your funeral, and turn in 800 words on how your death is the fault of the wokes.

Football then. It was always trending this way, but this summer feels like the tipping point for absolute bullshit. It used to be just lunatics and crackpots posting mad takes for engagement, but now it’s blue ticks posting outright lies for interactions (and I presume money).

I do think our current way of life is doomed, does that mean we are all doomed? For some people, yes, for others it will mean massive change and opportunity. How the world will look in 50 years time is anybody's guess but it will certainly be different to our current civilisations.

It's that day again #alevels
[Title panel]:
A-LEVEL RESULTS COLUMNS DAY

[Scene is a TV news type report about A Level results day]

REPORTER [talking to camera outside a school where students are crowding outside the hall to get in]:

Well, it's that day again

When A-Level students across the country finally get to find out

What Britain's newspaper columnists think about their results.

[show the interior of the school hall, with long tables, but instead of results papers on them, loads of middle-aged newspaper columnists are all laid out]

[Close up on the COLUMNISTS lying on the table, talking up to a gaggle of excited students desperate to find out what they say]

PETER HITCHENS:
I remember when A-Levels meant something

CLARKSON: 
I got a C and two U's

[Cut to outside the hall, the REPORTER is talking to a student]

REPORTER:
And did you get the middle-aged opinions you wanted?

STUDENT:
Yes! 

I got one ‘There's Too Much Humanities’,
and two Oxford graduates telling me they went to Oxford.

REPORTER [now doing a voiceover, as we see the students in the school hall next to the columnists on tables, and the students are preparing to jump in the air for a photographer]:

And then the annual photo shoot…

[PHOTOGRAPHER]
One, two, three...

[One of the columnists on the table pipes up with]: 

What's The Point Of University in 2026?

[The students all jump for joy]

STUDENTS:
HOORAY!

This fetish for rich powerful, but pathetic men, by the working class man is weird and it's ruining both social media and the world! They are all messed up, Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg etc. How anyone looks up to them, I just don't understand it.

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
