Whitey Grandad

There’s a tank of unleaded about 50 metres from my desk. Despite the moat the people at the terminal tell me not to bother trying to get away if anything goes up.

That was a dive. Both legs collapsed under him like an aircraft whose undercarriage folds. You could never say that he was tripped.

I agree. I thought it was more a foul on the keeper.

Ta muchly.

Good question. “The 2022-23 English Football League season will start earlier on 30 July next year because of the World Cup. The Championship will run until 12 November and resume on 10 December, but League One and League Two will continue without a mid-season hiatus. The final round of fixtures in all three divisions will be played on the weekend of 6-7 May 2023, with play-off finals from 27-29 May.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59295406

No league games between November 14th and Boxing Day when the league will resume. The season starts on 6th August and ends on 28th May. So nothing worth watching through half on November and most of December.

The agents usually get paid by both parties unless otherwise agreed.

They used to do it before the electronic versions.

The Hamble terminal is right next to me. If they try anything I shall let them have both barrels.

But each break for subs will be longer. Why can't they provide for multiple changes at the same time? I have an idea, instead of led boards how about printed cards with numbers on? Then the fourth official could hold up two or three at the same time. With the added benefit that we could actually read them in sunlight.

Our cup loss to Man City demonstrated that. Just look at the quality of the subs that they brought on.

Where I join the M27 at junction 5 the blanket 60 mph limit (why?) suddenly drops to 50 at the point where the joining lane ends. This causes bunching and makes it more dangerous for the joining traffic to filter in.

I shall stand down when it suits me and not before. You’ve been caught out and you’re trying to change the record. I never wrote “what if she had cancer” did I?

For the record, who actually said that?

That’s the one thing I remember him for 😧

It wan't the same point. How many other so-called jokes tried to make fun of someone's appearance?

Without Will's reaction what was the point of the reference to GI Joe II ?

There is a history of Rock having digs at Will Smith. This reaction was a long time coming.

And make sure you stand bare chested with your arms outstretched singing “We are Leeds”. Best get some appropriate tattoos whilst you’re at it.

The joke was wrong. The violence was wrong.

You miss the point. It’s not a case of “what if she had cancer” at all. It’s the fact that it is never acceptable to make a joke about somebody’s medical condition nor their physical appearance.

Agreed.

That wasn’t a joke. It wasn’t funny and was a disgusting thing to say. It is never right to comment in public on anybody’s medical condition. Would it be right to make a joke about someone with cancer?

If you watch his wife she is clearly not impressed by Rock’s comments.

The best referee is the one you don't notice. He is a long way from being the best.
