Some will see it as a safe appointment, but it's definitely not without rusk.

Thankfully, it's only the usual moans from those trying to keep hold of what they have, rather than embracing a bright, new future. Here in Airstrip 51, as we will all soon have Google maps updated to, we're repainting the roads, and mending the barbed wire fences ahead of fresh new defense systems that we'll pay our special American friends for. It's great we save the frustration of dual system issues by simply depending on their technology wholesale. It just makes all the massive training, maintenance and upgrade bills easier to manage. The higher that percentage defence commitment, the more US arms catalogue pages we'll have access to. We'll gladly go up to 5% or more for our new toys. I'm sure they'll come in handy someday. And after all, we'll be obligated to buy them to get the other stuff. Got to keep ahead of their other customers (formerly known as NATO allies) And we'll have more need to have them, thanks to the Cold War reset, making Geopolitics nice and simple again. Once Russia regroup and invade the rest of Ukraine, we'll have all those new borders to be watchful over. Thankfully our transatlantic chums have plenty to keep us supplied with, as long as we do exactly as they say. Hurray for MAGA and down with Eurasia, or whoever our pals deem to be our foes!

It's a plan. But not one without difficult choices to be made. Such as would SOG prefer Cheese and Pickle or Ham on his sandwiches being packed for his journey on the ship?

It's an interesting idea, but would the linesman let Stewart enter the field of play with wheels instead of legs. There's also player welfare to consider. Here's the last player to have this done, now in old age. Yes, the tortoise is the one Russell Martin tried to sign, saying he had the perfect pace for his system.

Just picking up on the work/life balance changes since the days of SOG doing nothing to stop bosses mimicking squirting breast milk in front of employees. Our current raft of mandatory training modules not only includes the safe/confidential use of social media. But it's also included as part of everyone's day and promotes that as a way of using balance to be productive and better at both. So, hardly frowned upon. Right, back to SOG pretending the hostages were safer with Hamas.

It's the money from flag and button sales that's going to be funding the Ukrainian Resistance movement.

I read the topic title as "Are Scots really to blame" and thought it a bit harsh. Sooner or later, Celtic were going to cut out the middle club for their players. 🙂

Duck

Not by sending the boys round to threaten to hurt his legs. Not only wrong, but probably wouldn't be noticed.

The news tonight...Educated, intelligent democrat voters looking for new lives in the UK, baffled at rejection. The move has shocked the applicants, all residing in Portsmouth, New Hampshire...

Italian club owners looking at us, and wondering how we managed to fix matches the wrong way all the time.

The manager?

Support

Allez VA! No wait...I'm supposed to be supporting the other side...darn multi club model confusing my support... 🙂

One of my local teams conceded their 4th of the day, when the goalie threw over a water bottle to a full back, who then proceeded to chat to the manager as our opponents went through and scored. Keeper has gone, fullback not started and manager gone. That was as useless as I've seen.

Curses! I was pipped at the post to make an apple pun.

Updated in light of SOG's reading material.

It's the escalation from bickering, that leads to global war. You're actually at ground zero. The people reading the thread, are more bicker prone, and it spreafs from there. Any doubt on the validity of the above, is just bickering, proving my point.🙂

Lechery

I hadn't thought of that. I hope nothing goes wrong. 🙂

Reasons to be positive... We'll get more points in the Championship. um... Oh look, music! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CIMNXogXnvE
