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.

I'm not sure you were the strongest Whelk. Duck, in particular, has/had this belief that the Israelis are a peaceful lot, and that all would be well if their neighbours were more tolerant of them. Hypo got upset when I, rightly, described him as naive on the issue. On the wider issue, we've not yet seen the tip of the iceberg.

Indeed. A properly horrible thing to do.

33, grab yourself a jumper Del. 27 this time of evening here. Bliss.

Yep, it's ridiculous that we sold off our utilities. It was obvious to anyone with half a brain that private enterprises wouldn't provide necessary infrastructure upgrades which don't provide a ROI. Mental.

I'm in the Vendée. 39c yesterday, 37c today, no breeze, incredibly dry everywhere - the driest I've ever seen it here. It's bloody lovely.

I'd hope so, but if we do I think it'll be a free or loan.

I'm assuming Matsuki gets that gig, or Azaz drops deeper with Matsuki or Dobbin ahead.

Nice. Good bit of business is that.

They deserve more than a tough few years. More to the point, it's astonishing that they haven't picked up the full bill for the post office fallout, and that the government has an ongoing relationship with them.
