  1. Yeah praying it's just precautionary. Looked like he got a knock when he was tackled. I can't bear to look on Owlstalk, because there will be quite a few on there gleefully saying "I told you so!" having expressed concern about signing someone with his injury record. I've no doubt it would be no different on here in similar circumstances, but it fucking hurts when it's someone close.
  2. Tyler Onyango. Came through the Everton academy (and is best mates with Lewis Dobbin) and was released in the summer after a few L1 loans in recent years. He's been plagued by hamstring injuries which have really hampered his career so far, but the new DOF at Wednesday Simon Wilson knows him well from his time on loan at Stockport and has put faith in him with a 3 year contract.
  3. Bolton marking their return to the Championship, currently 2-0 up against historical Lancashire rivals PNE. Meanwhile in League One, I'm immensely proud to say that my Nephew will be making his full debut for Sheffield Wednesday today. He's in the starting lineup away at Orient.
  4. They go to all phones on the national network. We were in Athens at Easter and got one on our phones about severe thunderstorms headed our way. It rained. A bit.
  5. Essex police have confirmed that Farage's claim they advised him not to attend the result declaration in person was untrue. Claiming he's been vindicated by the people of Clacton, and then making up false statements about security concerns to continue to avoid actually having to spend any time there is such a great look.
  6. Polling has closed in Clacton and nobody is expecting anything other than a win for Farage. To anyone in Clacton who still believes he has the best interests of your constituency at heart and has been out and voted for him today, I have one question... What the fuck is wrong with you?

  8. This strategic resource option (as with other SROs around the country) have been written into the water company's WRMP. They wouldn't be able to meet their statutory obligations on deployable output if they just scrapped the idea because any backup options would be considerably more costly. https://www.ofwat.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Gate-three-draft-decision-for-Cheddar-2-Reservoir-and-Transfer.pdf It's shameful that we've reached a situation where the WCs have had to be dragged kicking and screaming to a point where they have reluctantly agreed to invest in these large scale projects to meet their obligations. But then England and Wales are joined only by Chile in having a completely privatised water industry, so it's also not the slightest bit surprising.
  9. Come on Wednesday! 🦉🦉🦉
  10. Just thinking of you Turks. You obviously missed the alerts and I wouldn't want you to come to any harm out there 😘
  11. https://apnews.com/article/italy-europe-heat-wave-temperatures-austria-france-57b6b4c67fd40b24fe578e71edaa519b Italy’s Health Ministry placed all 27 cities monitored under its national heat surveillance system on red alert Thursday — the first time this year that the entire network has been under the highest warning level simultaneously. The alerts stretch from Trieste in the northeast to Palermo in Sicily and signal a health risk for the entire population, not only vulnerable groups such as older adults and people with chronic illnesses. Authorities urged residents and tourists to avoid direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day, remain indoors where possible and drink plenty of water.
  12. I think the point is that if they're banned then even the most cognitively challenged people wouldn't be able to buy them anyway. But yeah. Your point stands. I was at a little local festival recently and the amount of stupid pricks I saw just chucking lit cigarettes onto the tinderbox parched grass was infuriating.
  13. We just need to improve how we store the rain that does fall over winter. There's plenty of water available but we don't have sufficient infrastructure to capture and store it efficiently enough to make sure it's available when we need it. We haven't built any new major PWS reservoirs in this country for about 35 years. But I'm sure it's just pure coincidence that happens to be around the same time the water industry was sold off to private interests who are more concerned about paying huge bonuses to their directors than they are about providing an adequate service to bill-payers.
  14. If you thought beating the PL champions and getting to a Wembley semi-final where we gave Man City a bloody nose was just a distraction then maybe supporting football isn't for you. The confidence that came from that cup run bled through into our league performances, and our ability to rotate regularly without dropping massively in quality meant it didn't cause unwanted fatigue. This idea that we shouldn't take the cups seriously and just concentrate on the league is utter nonsense.
  15. Yes but that will only be the case for a small number of the overall centres. Anyway, my understanding is that these facilities are intended to provide early intervention for people before they reach crisis point, so the opening hours won't necessarily be a problem. Currently if you go to the GP with non-urgent concerns then you will likely be referred to an under-resourced psychological therapy service and often have to wait months just for an initial telephone appointment with a counsellor. That's why the number of severe cases has risen so drastically because the early support just isn't there to stop things from spiralling.
