Morning all. Meadow - if we don't have mains water at the kiosks, do we at least have potable drinking water? Would have thought that would be illegal if not

Water Refill stations would be great of course. In smallish offices where I've been FD (20-30 people) we always had one for staff welfare. Think they are expensive, you lease the machine which gets maintenance and you need a regular supply of water tanks.

Mandy did confirm it was tap water. Meadow

I think what’s needed is refilling water stations - cool water, not the tepid non drinking water from a tap at the kiosks…

Trigg - it’s a very long time since I was in any science classroom experiment, but I see what you mean now :)

RK, I've never queued for water. I've just approached someone at the front of the queue and asked them to ask for a glass of water. That said, it was only if I didn't have a water bottle with me.

[Link] admittedly an absolutely rubbish example of what I was just talking about.

Re Bromley, it's very rare for Clubs to go straight back down to L2, although Vale did achieve this feat last season

Never seen the classic schoolroom experiment A4e? You can create water in the palm of your hand.

I emailed the Club about water refills and, to their credit, they came back quickly. They said tap water is available at all bars and they promised to produce more signage to make this clearer

OI - thanks for that. So can water be created by combining oxygen and hydrogen - presumably it’s expensive?

You can split water into its components of hydrogen and oxygen (electrolysis being the main means) and recombine them (fuel cells being the safest, which is why the exhaust from hydrogen powered cars is water).

We were one penalty of being top of the league relatively well into the season. Missed that penalty and never really recovered. We’d been doing so well til then maybe with the exception of our tummy tickling at Bolton.

It seems like Bromley are being well bankrolled so I'm sure the manager is expected to at least talk about playoffs even if his job security doesn't depend on achieving them. Some of us were talking about playoffs at various stages last season.

6M - thanks for clarifying, although the more technical parts of that confused me completely as my physics/chemistry knowledge is so poor… So what happens to the atoms or molecules - do they literally cease to exist, and if so, can they be recovered or recreated in some way?

Bromley manager reckons they’re aiming for a playoff spot.

Lewis wasn't the same player ,with all the injuries last season,. He obviously wants out, so no point standing in his way.

[Link] Ex franchise manager Lindsey in trouble at York City before the season even starts with the crowd booing after defeat in a friendly match and his post match interview doesn’t inspire confidence.

Lurker it seems an odd story as i don't understand why he would be having trials and not just have offers to turn down or accept. If he had been coming from a long term injury or hadn't proven himself at L1/L2 level it would be different. But anyway who knows what's going on.

I would keep Lewis if at all possible. He would be wise to sign up for another season, as if he's got nothing else on the table, for him a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. He'd be in the shop window and if playing well, we might even get a fee for him in January!

Reading back there I got Jimmy Cricket mixed up with the journalist bloke and thought Jimmy Cricket was the paedo wife beater

Lewis is a good player. Personally I think our tactics end up with him covering behind the wider players constantly and that sprinting all over the pitch probably didn’t help the leg injuries. I found a heat map end last season and it was basically everywhere between half way and 6 yard box for him.

Hash the story is he’s been doing trials around the place. Everyone does the same as us and doesn’t name someone theyre trying to get hold of. So I’m guessing that’s what happening. The injury story seemed to be the one from end of last season. But thst was a gashed knee not a regular injury so would be really worrying if that’s not healed after 3 months.

I wasn't expecting you to A4E. I only mentioned you as you made a point about water on the planet always being the same, when I'm not sure it is. The number of atoms in a closed system may be the same (law of conservation of mass) but not the number of molecules, including H2O. By a curious coincidence, I had a pop up about air conditioning units, whose claim seemed to me to defy the first law of thermodynamics, which is similar to the law of conservation of mass (merely replacing the word mass with energy). That was the only reason I mentioned it. Sorry if by doing so I confused matters.

Lewis situation is totally bizarre. He was clearly adamant he would get a better deal than whatever it is we were offering him but for him to still have not signed for anyone? There was talk he was injured. If that is not the case then maybe he has decided to retire or something?
