I was wondering how much more fulfilling my life would have been, if I'd chucked it after the Tranmere game. π The guy on not long after suggested closing the club down.

Proof that SOG pays little attention to ads. As shown, he instead stares into the middle distance thinking of his mixed race barmaid.

I think there were some figures going around (no idea the source or agenda if any of it), to demonstrate that. I rarely watch TV, and skip half times etc. So, ages can go past in between me seeing adverts. It was very obvious to me, after such a gap, that there was a large shift in the ethnic mix in the people in the ads. An ad makers dream of appealing to as many demographics as possible. Observational without saying it's good, bad or of no interest. And without conveniently hiding behind anything.

With that kind of high ceiling, SR will be making him our number one for next season. "He leapt up the ranks last season" , said Rasmus, delighted not to be bothered with looking or listening. π

Perhaps it was the time to move on from possession based football.

Don't forget the special teams. Like getting to bring on JWP just for a direct free kick. Play then stops as he gets to leave the field. Possibly to allow someone else on just to take a corner, or MLT to come on just for a penalty. π

Slow and tedious were my memories of it. But it was a fair bit quicker, than I remembered. Helped, a bit, by New England having to get a move on to get back in the game. The breaks weren't even that intrusive. I didn't find myself doing lots of other things. Exception of the nice half hour half time, where I nipped off to have something to eat.

Were much the same. If only the football wasn't getting in the way of our player trading. π Edit: Forgot π

I'll really have heard him on the radio. But yes, the interviewer shoe horning themselves into shots, for their own career is incredibly annoying. -
The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

I liked "A Labour source said: βLetβs be clear, there is no way Anas makes this big and wrong call without sign off from Douglas Alexander, a member of Keirβs cabinet and co-chair of the Scottish Labour 2026 campaign, and Kate Watson, his chief of staff and a UK Labour employee." Sarwar to be pushed into abandoning the people who advised him, after failing to oust person who just dumped the person who advised him. It's another reminder that none of these people have a principal, unless it's been advised upon that now's a good time to pretend to have one. Humza Yousaf also got sign off from SNP in London over his break from the swivel-eyed Greens. He found himself hung out to dry too. I also smiled at anything Sarwar does as "incendiary" The big mystery is where are all the Tunnock's Teacakes that should be in the picture? Scoffed before it was taken? Or as an early snub to Starmer? -

Bravely trying to free us from conventional economic thinking, only to be brought down by vested interests, the deep state and a lettuce. π -

The perfect name for a right wing children's TV show. "Hi kids! Welcome to Tufton St! Today we teach young Amir that he's not really one of the other kids on Tufton St, while laughing at our pal Fiona, who wants to run things. What a silly girl " -

Sarwar has brought everyone out to make their position known. Until that by election. Chris Mason of the beeb, called Sarwar's decision one of "colossal significance." At the same time most people wondered who Sarwar was. When Sarwar said the people of Scotland are "crying out for a competent government," I thought he was going to resign. Just on the off chance of them doing something against the SNP. A SNP mired so much in scandal, and uselessness, that any half decent leader would make inroads. Except, when Starmer's labour got elected by saying nothing, Sarwar kept it going. A moan at the SNP, but with no weight of his own. The only party making in roads is Reform, much to their own surprise. But Sarwar has finally done something. Given Starmer a bit of breathing space, as the cabinet have come out to support him: Powell, Streeting, Rayner, Cooper, Lammy, Mahmood and others. Even if it's open revolt by the PLP when Starmer has his chat, they have no one to back as an alternative. Leaving Sarwar wondering if his own e-mails with "old friend" Mandelson might come out. -

Well, if anyone knows about being utterly ineffectual, it's Sarwar. -

Due to the bots in bold, it was the waste of a massive opportunity to secure the centre/ right of labour, centre ground and left of the Conservatives as they were having an identity crisis of the right. It was going to take time, and with lots of internal fighting, but it's been a bit squandered.
