"It's absoutely clear that a person's popularity, position and perceived credibility mediates how what they say is received".
I also believe this is true, trust plays a big part, but I think there is also a self-confidence issue in that not everyone feels comfortable arguing against a popular and/or highly credible figure, or one in a position of authority. I would have thought the self-confidence thing is less of a challenge in social media scenarios as opposed to face to face, though, because one is often anonymous and not in direct contact with those involved in the debate.
You could perhaps set up an off-topic poll on here, to get some quantitative data. Just a thought. Good luck with the article. |

"But I wouldn’t mind have Colback on reduced wages as cover there."
Others have said similar but I can't help thinking that that can't be a very attractive proposition for a player, unless they have an emotional attachment to a club, e.g. by dint of being a boyhood fan.
The "We really want you to stay but please take a wage cut" discussion must be a very difficult one, especially when a player is in the twilight of their playing career.
One for the glossary perhaps?  |

The Numan Family was pretty decent.
Gary turned up with a full band and roped in his daughters Petunia and Maud to sing a couple of tunes.
I lie: His daughters are actually called Persia and Raven; the third one, who I don't believe performed at Glastonbury, is called Echo.
You're up to date. I thank you  . |

I'd agree that there is a lack of chargers in some areas, for example, much of Wales.
What sort of range do you think you need? My Cupra Born can do around 270 miles at motorway speeds. I would think most people would want a break from driving after three of four hours.
Re some fiend switching off your home charger, that can only happen if you have an Internet connected unit. I opted for one which isn't.  |

I'm on my second, a Cupra Born long range, with a heat pump.
I had my first one, a BMW i3 Range Extender, for nine and a half years, from new. I only changed vehicles because I now need to go to Scotland quite often and that was challenging in the i3; EV range has gone up a lot in the last few years.
We have done the 410 miles to my in-laws in Scotland a few times in the Born now, in a day. We only need to charge once and we do that while having lunch. Charging stations on motorways and major routes are pricier than elsewhere, as with petrol and diesel pumps, and you may have a short wait to use them, but if you drive a few miles off your main route, you can save time and money.
Even when chargers are occupied when you reach them, in most cases now, you shouldn't have a long wait because they are so fast.
If you buy an EV, do bear in mind how fast the vehicle can charge. If you go to a 100kW charger but your car can "only" charge at a maximum of 50kW, you'll have a longer than necessary wait. |

"They need to spend the next 12 months building up his upper body strength…similar issue for Tuck. Otherwise he’ll be eaten alive in the Champ."
Just on this point, I used to play 8 a side football in Slough and the standard was pretty high; lots of the players were pacy, could reliably do the flicks and tricks, could tackle well etc. It was also fiercely competitive. I was one of the worst players, by the way  .
Where am I going with this? Well, after one session, a load of players turned up for an 11 a side match. I stood on the touchline and asked one of the coaches watching the game who was playing. I was told it was Slough Town against Slough Town old boys. Don't ask me why but Josh Parker, once of this parish, was playing.
I mention all this because the difference in intensity was startling, and this was just non-league level. Without being dirty, players were charging into tackles, slamming into each other. It was a real eye opener, so I think the upper body strength point is an important one. |

There's a bitter irony to the fact that Israel bombed Tabriz.
Scholars believe that is where the Bible places the garden of Eden. |
