  1. I was just about to post the same. Poor bloke around my age walking to work and gets mown down by those two cunts doing 130mph in a 30mph zone. And that’s without the Nitrous Oxide ballon, no insurance etc. The younger one was about to start an apprenticeship - lucky escape Network Rail and all who on travel on the railways. No consolation for the bloke they murdered though. Judge gave the strongest sentence they were able and GMP think it’s possibly a record for a single fatality incident. Why is it that scrotes like this never hit trees head on, end up killing innocent people or pets instead? Probation Service - no early release for these two please, however full the prisons are by 2037/38.
  2. 68-3 with Prest and Dawson tucking into the Surrey attack, with Tom Curran and Jordan Clark bowling too straight. Majid got mauled by Albert earlier on. Ahead of the rate by quite a bit, hopefully this stand builds between Prest and Dawse and then the overseas boys can smash us home with 2-3 overs to spare. 84-3 off 9 - good going lads. Shit - Curran has been crap but got Tom Prest out for 25. Well ahead on rate so keep our heads and should win.
  3. Helping Albert but Weatherley’s form lasted all of one game. Vince not quite off the plane yet. Toby Albert did well in the Blast last year, hopefully again as Stubbs and Cartwright can’t do it all every time. Balls - jinxed it, Albert out for 30. Go Dawse though, 11 off his first 3 balls!
  4. 1/63 off 4. Right in the slot for Clark every ball. When you’re pushing 40 and down at barely 70mph, at least have some variations on the crease, angles, moon balls, off/leg cuts. He’d be cannon fodder these days in the Hampshire leagues let alone county white ball. Unless he adopts spin and makes an amazing reinvention, he’s finished as a ‘pace’ bowler. Hopefully Vince, Stubbs and Cartwright do the business despite that. It’s like a little family firm with Wood there though. The nepotism is blatant. Coach ought to know better.
  5. Better sausage fingers than crisp packet wrists e.g. Gavin
  6. Surrey 143-8 but need to see both sides bat. All bowled very well bar Rod’s son in law who was decent many years ago.
  7. I get it, and hospitality has had a horrible few years. And the employers NI was not the way to go. But the public finances are still paying off Eat Out to Help Out and all of the furloughs. Has to be some give and take. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c78kg45yx0vo
  8. Raise the Colours are proud, non-violent patriots who want to spread love via the flag. And if you believed them, you’re an even bigger idiot than I thought you were https://metro.co.uk/2026/05/28/raise-colours-founder-billy-allison-charged-murder-bar-owner-28555599/
  9. Don’t do classy often, more likely to find one of the good local pubs serving real ale or a high quality craft beer. Mind you, our Cotswolds rose garden goes pretty nicely with a floral pale ale.
  10. He certainly does for our generation but politics is way more fragmented now which is a journey it’s been on since 2008 really with the Brexit referendum as an accelerant towards the Remain bloc (Lab-Lib-Green) and Leave (Reform-ERGTory-Rupert party) we have now. People are changing allegiance within those blocs but not often between them.
  11. Risk of a waterlogged pitch if you had this Blair and El Hadj Diouf on the same pitch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blair_Spittal
  12. More classic totalitarian behaviour on display https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/ce8pp9r03z7o https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyp77jd407o
  13. One of Alex’s friends. If it happens, it would be before end of June. They’ll keep offences and points within seasons generally.
  14. Currie probably the difference with 4/18.
  15. BP are exhausted with CEO Manifold https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjrppppwvwlo
  16. Or football club, in England at any rate. As you say, the FA enquiry will make it untenable and he will be the EFL’s price for closing the book on 25/26.
  17. His agent has been very busy since Sunday - Man U, Liverpool and PSG all linked and figure of £80m cited.
  18. I take these statements from under-pressure owners with a pinch of salt but at a more micro level, it’s absolutely what’s happened at SFC since 2017. It’s just that SR accelerated the bus towards the cliff and enthusiastically drove it over the edge to break it finally (see what I did there). https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c3v22p6nvx5o SFC went away from the focus on sound football decision-making structures that served it so well 2009-17. Under Semmens, which SR doubled-down on, there’s been a focus on very young and untried players in senior player. Ironically the January window was the first departure from the blunt formula and it actually worked! The core spine of the team and structure of the squad has been fatally overlooked in favour of individual transactions and profit received from those as a sole measure of success. The multi-club set up has been to SFC’s deteriment. There is no strategy for where SFC should be in the football structure which probably reflects the huge churn in DoFs and managers leading to a pot pourri of playing styles and approaches. Until the basics are in place, and SR decides what/how far it wants to invest in a loss-making current division to get back to the stated football destination and vision, I cannot see any progress under SR and far more decline.
  19. Yet more emerging on Robert Kenyon’s behaviour online, Reform using the standard Trump excuse of ‘locker room banter’ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/reform-uk-robert-kenyon-comments-misogynistic-b2983146.html
  20. Probably targets in their appraisals about how much player profit they make.
  21. Lost there 2-1 season before that according to a Saints highlight reel I saw? Would’ve been our first season back in the top flight and their very first. Following season City went down, and down, and down. Which is how a young Roy Hodgson had his first spell there as they hovered above receivership. Wolves did the same thing a couple of years later.
  22. You must have been at this one unless it was at a pre-season friendly http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/3204811.stm
  23. Death. Taxes and losing at Ashton Gate.
  24. The whole thing about needing to take sides in the Middle East let alone in such an obvious and quite aggressively racist way is beyond me. We’re almost back to 1930s Nazi cartoons with some of the Green and Reform literature I saw in the local elections. Ben Givr is revolting and I’d shed no tears if he gets taken out internally because he’s as bad as any Nazi or Hamas/Hezbollah figure. But it shouldn’t label or tarnish a whole race.
  25. Been previous years and it’s brilliant although have seen broken legs etc. The hill is insanely steep. Imagine a grass version of Athelstan Hill in Southampton that is 5-6 times steeper. That’s Cooper’s Hill in Brockworth. You go past on it on the very scenic road between Stroud and Gloucester as it drops down into Brockworth by the petrol station. Views of the Black Mountains, Severn Estuary/Plain and Malvern Hills from the summit.
