It won't open. An open strait means no need for an oil pipeline to the med.

On a slightly related theme, I once went on a stag do which started at Northlands Road and was gatecrashed by Aymes, Smith and a couple of others. Absolute carnage.

Exactly this. Him, Woods, and countless others, were the best at that they did despite having various issues. To have achieved what they have against that backdrop is remarkable.

Neither played for the u21's so I'm guessing either injured, earmarked for a loan, or around the squad but didn't make the 2O.

They played Friday so Sunday lunchtime would be too early. That said, Moses Sesay apparently played well, and could be one to breakthrough. Not sure what's happened to Barnaby Williams though.

Some great shouts up there - Woods, Thompson, Maradona, Senna, Calzaghe, Warne, in particular. 3 alternatives: Michael Jordan Steve Redgrave Ronnie O'Sullivan

I was on a ferry. Everyone was out of signal, and when we got in range, hundreds of phones went loopy. When that happens, you assume it's for something serious, not telling us the bleeding obvious.

Yep. The COVID era also had a huge impact. Alas, many people can't or won't recognise conditions that haven't touched them.

Yet retaining the triple lock, even for those without the need. In this AI world, this economy , in a country with minimal manufacturing, I dread to think where we're heading where people are removed from benefits. Without a job to go to, which many of them would undoubtedly struggle to do even if there were jobs, it's going to be a car crash. This needs balance. Remove the triple lock, free up some cash, revise benefits to sift the needy from the greedy, means test PiP and the child equivalent - people are chucking their PiP into an ISA or SIPP!! Madness. We can't have a society where people -pensioners/children/disabled/unwell people are squirrelling away monies from the state - yet hundreds of thousands of people are left without support with the expectation that they get a job that isn't available and/or that they can't actually do.

People calling the police because their neighbours are having a BBQ. Idiots.

And an assist, 2 goals in the cup, and goals assists in pre season. He got grief for going when he did, but he did time on loan, and got his move to West Brom. He'll be a decent player. Good luck to the lad.

I'm not talking generally. The point was regarding a persons direct family. If my old man's dad was an axe murdering madman, I wouldn't feel too proud about him. That his generation flattened Dresden doesn't make me want to hang my head in shame though.

Yep. Accept the past, learn from it, move in.

I'm not so sure. If people can feel proud of their ancestors, it follows that they can feel embarrassed or upset about their behaviour. Sure, it shouldn't impact their lives, but it's strange to say that people can't feel upset about it.

Yep. People will still believe the BS though. State of the nation etc.
