Gloucester Saint

Panama more dangerous as evidenced there allied to standing off and letting them have a crack at the England goal.

Good cure for insomnia 🛌 😴 💤

Some of the Harvester unlimited salad might perk them up at half-time hopefully.

Further hypocrisy

Well done Kevin Hollinrake and Fiona Bruce for exposing Zia for having applied to be a candidate, being declined yet criticising Burnham

You saw the tipping articles as well https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyxgjykx7lo I’ve never minded tipping well in restaurants over there when the service has been good (as it often has been) but as the article states, expecting customers to make up wages well below why at they should be for just selling you a bottle of water that’s already in a fridge is bizarre and a signed of how fucked up their economy and society is.

To you or I, yes, but the locals around here would not have a bar of that. The incendiary aspect is the modest amount of social housing (in amongst houses costing up towards £1m - affordability for families who have always lived here is as big an issue here as Devon or Cornwall). Also, the fact it’s in the middle of nowhere and far more basic means it has some deterrent built in for the asylum seekers who are coming for economic reasons. If you’re genuinely escaping persecution, the peace and quiet wont bother you.

That’s been going on for years, decades even relating to the former airfield. My parents lived in Butlocks Heath/Netley for 25 years.

TBF, I actually found those funny. If you can’t laugh it’s going to be a very long season.

No different to mixed housing being built at scale right behind our Gloucestershire Cotswold stone town. Locals hated it, still hate it, but planners forced it through anyway with consummate ease. Yet when we wanted to replace our extension - no new footprint, the planners put us through a year of hell before approval. And then building control forced changes to the foundations last week which will cost thousands more. See, we can all claim the two tier thing and not a brown person in sight. At the end of the day, we don’t have the ability to grease palms or produce brown envelopes. We’re local residents working with a small, high quality local builder.

Sends a message on THB as well.

Who had Chris Wood sealing a penultimate ball win with a 6 on their bingo card?

Not as much as yogurts going out of date.

Never thought Karel Poborsky would turn into such a decent manager 😉

Scots undone not just by their Russball last night but negativity in the first game v Haiti. They’ve got a very decent midfield (defence, keeper and attack shite) but seemed reluctant to feed the ball into it at the first opportunity.

Ecuador 🇪🇨 throughly deserved that, been much the better side. Surprised they hadn’t scored and only a point from their first two games based on this display.

I did see the referee and assistants, thinking straight away of a SWF regular poster fuming…..

Paying £13m for Angus Gunn, or whatever robbery it was, was pure early onset as a transfer and almost as bad as Bazunu.

And nearly 3. More horrific defending and overplaying. Getting Saints autumn 2024 flashbacks,

Like Bazunu, he’d drop it if he got anywhere near it. Has his dad’s name but that’s about where goalkeeping abilities end.

Great cross and header but horrific defending leading up to it, Gunn couldn’t catch Covid.

More suicideball at the back nearly costs them again. Has Russell Martin kidnapped Steve Clarke and is wearing a Clarke mask to impersonate? Because they are playing like Southampton FC autumn 2024 edition.

Also, I know the first was stupid passing at the back nonsense but what was Angus Gunn doing?

Scotland would have deserved that again for playing lazy Russell Martin-ball. The only reason you’d play around the back like that is if your players are very unfit. Very lucky there.

That’s two bunches of grapes I’ve got to take into hospital now. @Lord Duckhunter is in there after suffering a heart attack at the sight of all the scantily dressed young women of Poole and now @Challenger with his dehydration..
