food - maybe. For thought - not really. We few, we happy few need something to fill the time before football returns and have got addicted to the OT threads which are always giving. A football thread is usually topical for a week, the non football threads are permanently topical on a rolling basis.

So a foootball thread lasts a week - for 33 posts. That would be 1716 a year if it had remained topical all year. An OT thread averages 1392 and is always topical. So football threads contribute more. See, you can prove anything with numbers.
