Tell me about it, RK. Would you like to hear a song I wrote, about being deaf? You can say no if you like, but I'll post the link anyways :) [Link]

CW - starting a tennis match at 11pm is bonkers, there’s no way a player can adjust easily to that. I think Alcaraz is only just returning from injury, so that could explain the defeat in part - I’d imagine he will be back winning Wimbledon next summer, or at least making it to the final…

Hearing loss is more about being unable to detect sound at either end of the frequency range rather than volume per se. It's amazing that most people don't get this so end up shouting at the (perceived) deaf person, just making it worse !

That's a bluetooth enables aid which you can't get on the NHS. They cost in the region of £3,000 one-off, don't know what the ongoing costs are (insurance, etc)

It's not the volume, Spit. It's the high frequency loss in me ear'oles.

My mate turns his hearing aids up using an app on his phone:-)

Oh, and have mastered the art of setting my digital watch, which I will have forgotten by the time we have to change the clocks again, or when the battery needs changing, which is probably the point when I ditch it.

Amen to your moral, Spit. RK - Got out of the driving rat race when I retired around 2010. Tech has buried me since. Finally got a hearing aid which works (NHS ones, useless), so on the strength of that, have been gifted my son's old phone...WTF! Brilliant piece of tech, so I'm told. Just need to understand the damn thing. It just this minute rang. By the time I'd found it, found a pair of specs to see it, a stylo thingy to poke it with, whoever it was got fed up and fecked off. I did manage to take my own BP and submit readings for a week though, so quite pleased about that. Almost everything else...HELP!

It's not just football Pete. I hit two dead ends with selling my car (on an app) and buying italian train tickets with a senior discount. I must have spent hours trying to fix both last and this week. Eventually, the bug in the car app was fixed allowing me to take pics, but it looks like i will have to buy rail tickets when i get to Italy later

I'm in priority 2 and went into the ticketing section of the club site, scrolled down to the away tickets section and clicked on the Cambridge link under that. It took me straight through to be able to purchase a ticket

Yes pete attending a game was so much easier back in the day.. your could decide on the Saturday of the match and just rock up with cash at the turnstile. Now it's all pre-planning, apps, downloaded tickets. All so they can collect your data

Camb Utd doesn't immediately show on your ticket acct, you have to click on "away offers"

Was just thinking how strange this Saturday will be to have an actual Wimbledon match to watch.

I know this post will be considered unhelpful, but thank goodness I'm unable to go to matches any more. The amount of hoops people are expected to jump through just to watch a bit of footy is unbelievable. Debenture this, Priority that, no pay at the turnstiles, and on top of that Sky keep changing days and KO times, sheesh! I consider myself lucky to be out of the absolute circus it's become.

Meadow - I’m in Priority 2 but it’s not allowing me to purchase tickets yet which is weird

Driza, are you in a priority group? I'm in P2 and have the option to buy.

Not tried to book any away tickets yet this season, so logged in to my account to see if I could try a Cambridge tkt and it says no access. thoughts?

Or occupied if they don’t.

Dont worry about AI ,we will probably be nuked by then,if labour keep upsetting world leaders.

Don't know why we are worrying about investments, bonds or the like anyway - we'll all be gone soon [Link]

Therein lies the crux of the thing Spit - better not bigger. We spent millions on a third floor that had no strategy or even plan around it as to how to generate revenue. Should it have just been more seats? Maybe a combo of seats and boxes? Should it have been built at all?

OK 26 mill on 1 stand screwed us

Pakistan 26-4 already.

At the tie, there were many, including posters on here like Surrey Bob, who said the capacity was too big and that even budgeting for crowds of 6,000 in our first year was too optimistic

Shelton beat Alcaraz in the US Open tennis last night, the match ended at 3.34am
