 If they were bought with taxpayer money I doubt anyone would be surprised how much those signs cost.

3M holds a patent on the film that is stuck onto the aluminum backing. They are also the only film that meets the reflectivity tests. 

I have been out of the business for several years. The most expensive sign that I paid for was a sign designating that it was an Obama Tiger project. That required 5 individual signs to be mounted on dual posts. I tried to get permission to print it all on a single film and attach it to a single metal sign backing. Denied! Plus I had to post an identical sign on the other side least the public miss that it was a shovel ready project. That basically meant that any of 4 federal agencies could audit my books.

We’re back after the brief sojourn to permit England to book their visit to the US of A next Summer for the footie-fun-fest / fossil fuel burning extravaganza that is the World Cup.  Fingers crossed we make it through border control and that the inevitable ICE raids work in our favour.   To matters more pressing, Arsenal have usurped the newly wobbly Reds to lead the still embryonic title race.  Burnley are on a surge to the bottom, Forest are a shadow of last season’s team, while Villa have sprung to life. 

Saturday

Forest vs Chelsea – Big Ange has sucked the life out of Forest and frankly a buoyant Chelsea are really not what he needs.   Could he move from vaunted to exiled inside two months?  Yep.  Fans are proper grumpy about it all.  0-2 

Brighton vs Newcastle – neck and neck while separated by 350 miles, which is a long long way over here.  There will be goals, there is less likley to be a winner.  2-2

Burnley vs Leeds – too early to declare this a seismic for the relegation spots, but the Clarets really need to tighten up at the back and start scavenging points.  The Dirty Leeds feel better postured for survival, but confidence is key.  A home win keeps Burnley afloat, a loos could spell a long slow Winter adrift.  Nervy 0-0 of no use to anyone. 

Palace vs Bournemouth – tighter than a tight thing, that’s got all tight.  Very similar seasons that follow very similar coaching blueprints.  The Cherries are two points other than the good int eh league,  by converting one draw to a victory.  Last season the teams played out two 0-0 draws, and to be frank the smart money is on that this time too.  Naturally, therefore, I confidently predict a 0-1. And you know why. 

Man City vs Everton – better times for the Toffees now, but talisman Grealish can’t play in this match against his parent club. What difference will that make, well 2-0 answers that. 

Sunderland vs Wolves – big chance for the Maccems to climb back up the league and sustain their strong start to the season. They were undone by Utd last time out but will have leant from that. Wolves are celebrating back to back draws, that have yielded their entire points haul.  Not great.  2-0.

Fulham vs Arsenal – the Gunners are at their typical cross-roads already.  A win takes them clear of Liverpool, but you can’t rule out that they find a reason to square the opportunity.  Fatigue, injuries, colour of the sky, aa butterfly wing in China?   But the Cottagers are not quite at the races this season.   1-2.

Sunday 

Spurs vs Villa – An unspursy Spurs sit third and are proving a far more reliable proposition under Thomas Frank.  (people with first names as family names are funny, aren’t they?).   Big test for newly solid Villa, who essentially failed to appear for the first three game weeks.  For them draw will be great news, while Spurs should be taking three points form this type of match to show their top-six credentials.  2-1

Liverpool vs Man United – traditional big match and completely now what Amorim wants after a rare decent performance last time out against Sunderland.  Regression to the mean, and despite a mishap along the way it’s 3-1 and the Reds are back in good trim.  

Monday, 

West Ham vs Brentford - 16th host 19th, so - er, well, maybe a goal would be nice? Perhaps shake hands on the oil nil now and everyone get an early night instead? 0-0.

There you go, cash the pension and stake it all via link available deep in your Junk folder.  I’m sure it’ll pay out, just as described in faulty English and various fonts.

Between being very busy at work and the attack of the bots on this forum, I haven't been around for a while - but this brought me back and I dare say that it was worth it. 

(I realize that I just let folks know that if you could get the English football posts banned you could also get rid of me - a win/win)

Unfortunately, I also haven't had much time to watch any football on the tele so I can't quibble with any of the predictions.

explain please?

you put a heating pad in the fridge to make it work better?

i believe theres two ways to do this, one on the lines on a freezer unit, one on the thermostat inside the fridge. inside the fridge you dismantle the cold setting box where the thermo is and put a small pad in there and some other gizmos and a simple switch to shut it down come warmer weather. theres kits for that. the one on the cold switch thermo is better for fridge freezer combos to keep things cycling. 

i have never heard of putting the pad just in the fridge

heres a video and the kit for about 30 bucks, looks pretty simple.  my kitchen fridge is 1970s and works, these new fridges dont work 

I am going to theorize that the thermostat is in the refrigerator portion of the fridge and it gets its cold air from the freezer portion so if the ambient temperature is cold enough that the refrigerator doesn’t call for the freezer to cool,  the groceries in the freezer which should be held around zero begin to thaw. By placing the heating mat in the refrigerator it will warm the space enough to call for the freezer to come on and cool the refrigerator there for keeping the freezer functioning
