Gloucester Saint

On that basis, John Westwood should have been made to wear the shirt of pain (SFC) after urinating on his seat in the SMS away end. Of course, the shirt would have to be processed as carefully as nuclear processing waste at Sellafield afterwards.

Couldn’t post it as he’d ruined his eyesight. Got past the point of driving to Barnard Castle to test it. Bashed his purple cobra down into a maggot with the excitement (as did a few sad sacks on here). Not that it probably functioned properly anyway after years of alcoholism, culminating in four alcohol-related convictions. Even Paul Merson is safer to get into a car with. No town would ever have enough stock in its pubs and off licences if Staines and GM went on an all dayer.

Perspective on tariffs from that Marxist William Hague. Also reports that Canada’s ‘concessions’ to Trump were broadly agreed to in December. Interesting snippet about Trump being kind about Starmer losing his brother which seems to have helped them bond.

Got an appointment with Howdens on Friday. Noted on Wren, seen mixed things online but will bear them in mind, cheers.

Strange signing even for the u21s, Belgium Third Division is National League level, League 2 at very best. Even for SR this is a strange one.

Good luck to him. Frees up some more wage headroom and just hasn’t worked out for him in the PL over three seasons. Still an asset next season or could receive a good price if he does well at the Hawthorns.

We had a brilliant new kitchen/diner from Sparkworld nearly 10 years ago in our previous house. We are doing one here as part of renovating and re-configuring our downstairs space here but we are now too far north for Sparkworld’s area. So, has anyone had a new kitchen designed and fitted over the last 5-7 years? If so, would you recommend who went with or would you avoid them? We are looking at Howdens, Rehome site is too risky as need particular dimension work surfaces and island. Leekes units look tidy but customer service ratings are very up and down. B&Q, Wickes and IKEA stuff don’t have the durability we’d want. Never used Wren.

Whereas that queue is exactly where Smallbone needs to be. Extra steak in his pies please.🙏

TBF I don’t think even Feargal Sharkey would get Gavin off his line to claim the ball.

No way the British will countenance US involvement in any scale in running and procurement of the NHS - given the dreadful state of the health systems in GOP states quite rightly. The public are not keen on food deals either from a food standards perspective - see chlorinate chickens and hormone-fed beef stories. Look at their obesity rates. That would enough to turn most of our citizens vegetarian if not vegan.

True, he did score with the odd one eg QPR home but hasn’t quite mastered the art of keeping his head over the ball.

Edozie must be counting a couple of goals in the bank. Shoot low and with decent-ish power and he’s scored regardless. Could be a heavy defeat for Liege.

Although John is trying his best to close some of the gap just in alcohol purchases. 🍻 Cheers - hiccup. I would add a vomit emoji for normal drinkers but I suspect John is well past the hangovers and sick stage. His house must be a right fucking mess though when he sobers up occasionally.

Wouldn’t get past Charlie Austin in their first XI anyway.

Unless you’ve consumed a 24 can pack of Carling, and a bottle of cheap wine by 2pm, that’s impossible to do. John giving trade and business advice is like receiving advice on having stable and long-lasting romantic relationships from Katie Price.

Yep and the failure of that trade deal for the UK was endorsed….by the Conservative Party https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63627801 As Boris Johnson famously about Brexit, ‘fuck business’. And in the food industry it did https://www.politico.eu/article/liz-truss-uk-food-sector-australia-new-zealand-trade-deal/ The FT’s verdict https://www.ft.com/content/bb70437e-b565-4415-a008-0c2424c0b0de

So he claims. On defence spending amongst some NATO members, he’s always had a point. On tariffs, there will be claims and counter-claims. He wants countries to buy more US LPG but it’s a stupid way to do it, because when he’s out of his honeymoon lap he’s pissed off key allies like Canada for a long time. And it’s far from certain that all of the GOP Senators will back him either - see budget amendment saga over Christmas. Only takes 3 or more GOP to rebel - and the remaining non-cult GOP Senators do not like any trade restrictions bar China, Iran and Russia (just about on the latter).

I think it’s unlikely with the UK, as we trade either at a small deficit or surplus depending on the cycle so what he’s saying ‘Hey Keir, why don’t you buy a bit more of our LPG?’. US is the biggest producer of it. Whereas he wants the Germans to buy a lot more of it with the Russian pipeline switched off. Musk mouthing off with the AFD looks rather stupid in that context.

And Ely, Vestergaard and Hoedt. All of who, plus Carrillo and Stewart cost far more than Jan and probably less games than him combined.

Good to see that. The GOP and their voters started this so should pay the extra.

Yep, and this from the Heritage Foundation, of all places as well https://www.heritage.org/trade/commentary/we-shouldnt-rinse-and-repeat-when-it-comes-costly-washing-machine-tariffs

Classy - soundtrack of loud jeering and laughing from Tory and Labour councillors as he unfurled a Union Jack.

We haven’t had a January 2023 style splurge this time which helps a lot plus Dibling sale will really boost PSR

Not in the way you imagined though…

They are….but that’s exactly why this January should be quiet. As much headroom as possible for Spores in the summer and clear the deadwood in the scouting and recruitment let alone the playing side.
