pedantry 🙂

What do you mean politically homeless? What's that direct debit I've been paying to the "Get egg a new shell fund" about?

Conservative Christian, author and action hero Chuck Norris has died. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cwynpwydp0xt Our thoughts are with his family, friends and fans. While he may not have liked the memes, we can look forward to Satan giving up, and an age of peace on Earth, now Chuck is with his god.

He must know that our paper tiger will get all soggy in the strait of Hormuz. Besides, we're all off to the doctor's to check on our bone spurs, between seminars on how to correctly plan warfare. It's the lesson on how not to wreck the world economy today.

Link to Norwegian royalty interview about Epstein links. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cde5y63y3n7o Another person deceived an manipulated by a man apparently so devious, he would give Moriarty a run for his money. And all by himself, as no one admits to having helped, arranged or facilitating anything. Setting up finance, while trafficking, abusing, piloting and maintaining Epstein island. It must be that. As the alternative is that none of these greedy, selfish people gave a stuff about the victims or what Epstein was up to, compared to what they could get out of ignoring it. I'm sure she will be great, continuing her royal "project." Once she's checked in on her kid's rape trial, that is.

C'mon. If he went on to apply that to Robinson, Hopkins, Farage and Trump, he'd have so much time on his hands he'd have go out, blinking and startled, into the sunlight of the real world. Real brunches with real people. Mind you, there's always LBC and the Guardian website. Back inside to safety! 🙂

Why would they tell him? He wasn't born until '46 and even the not yet a glint in the milkman's eye had bone spur issues, keeping him well away from conflict.

I've been surprised at just how poorly they've been received. I'm no fan. It was disappointing seeing them continuing their freebies trough. No surprise when a union got a deal, and immediately came straight out saying that was just for starters. Starmer, having made a career on not having a stance except on whatever McSweeney felt would get them into power has been caught out with everything from Lord Ali access to judgement and weaseling on Mandelson (and others). Do his eyes swivel while trying hypnotise your boobs, like Polanski? Is he a fellow traveller, and security threat, like Corbyn? Is he a habitual liar, grifter and scumbag like Johnson? Is he spineless while showing an incompetent level of professional curiosity and action, like Davey? Is he utterly anonymous, while up against a trainwreck of indoctrinated, gravy train grifting idiots, like Sarwar? Is he a walking ego of self interest, playing to the worst of instincts like Farage, with his dreadful prior comments on race? Is he part of active cover ups and fraud investigation into his predecessors, like Swinney (not using a party mobile home battle bus in the upcoming elections, as it got seized by police)? Has he tried to second guess all the markets and world financial structures, leading to disaster, like Truss (now wandering around with a tin foil hat on)? Boots on the ground based on made up intelligence, like Blair? Flogged off half our gold reserves, like Brown? None of the above. He's dragged his party back to an electable center. It's a broad church, and those tensions are the things that will undo him, after May (useless on immigration as Home secretary, incidentally) elections (or when Rayner's tax dodge gets sorted). I disagree with a lot of where he stands (u-turns pending). But, as a person, compared to that lot?

I hope Starmer hasn't got all his boat detection aimed at the channel. 🙂

I was just about to post "self depreciating humour" and "comedy generally." I must have been at the edge of another sog/nic crater. My comedy gold is collateral damage once more >sniff<

I didn't even notice my hall had an airlock, until the AI at the end of the phone threw me out of it. 🙂

That's a very sneaky way of telling us you're related to SOG. 🙂

As soon as the F.A.B. were announced, I knew it was only a matter of time before we'd see shirts pulled by invisible strings. 🙂

SOG seems pretty obsessed with it. What if one day, he started believing in what they were saying? No, they should have to follow the same rules as everyone else. #saveSOG I guess the article feels OffCom aren't enforcing it. The rest is politics was saying this too, as someone else posted the episode the other day.

Ale and still some nice pubs to enjoy it in.

Alberta now looking at Canada's slide into allowing non terminally ill people access to assisted dying. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8d5d54glreo 'The legislation also garnered support from Mara Grunau, chief executive of the Canadian Mental Health Association's Alberta division, who said in a statement that "Recovery from mental illness and suicidality is possible, expected even".' An indicator of how far they'd strayed for terminal illness. The counter that not allowing mentally ill people to get themselves killed, as it infringes on their freedom of choice, not only baffles me, but makes me wonder at the motivations of those with that view. "additional barriers for individuals who are suffering and who wish to exercise choice".

You don't want to see you hit your own bar 7 minutes into added time. Or Peretz having to make a smart save 30 seconds later. But the plan was to hold onto the lead. And we got the job done against the league's in form (if injury ravaged) side. We were obviously hoping for the odd counter. We had a good chance early on with Larin. But that was about it. It was more of a relief just to get it into the final third, after a while, never mind create anything. Larin didn't really hold anything up, and isn't the most mobile in that tactic. Azaz worked hard, but we dropped back a little more when Downes went off. We worked hard in an organised defence. Even so, Peretz did very well with a couple of saves. Job done and into that play off spot. Something that looked a ridiculous dream earlier in the season. Credit to Tonda and the players for turning it round.

Hopefully, between Bragg and Charles, we'll still have enough fight in that midfield.

Oh dear. Stacey off with an injury. What a shame.

That seems to have pushed us up a bit. They've got 4 on bookings, that we could put pressure on. Jander blazes over.
