Nobody offering for the ball there for Bragg. Players need to do better than that.

Manning did well again there.

You're a ray of sunshine.

Ha! The issue was the full backs - no RB for along while. Bree coming back was massive for our season.

Yep. I like the lad. He's great on the American show.

Yep. Now the weather FFS...Meeks having none of it. Good lad.

Agreed. Although the goal came from Leo not staying high and drifting back to steal the ball, then Bree getting forward. The players look really well drilled and know exactly why they're doing.

Oohhh yes. Very fecking nice.

Decent there from Manning. And very much a 433 against the ball.

I missed him somehow! Jander and Bragg don't fill me with hope. I'd liked to see Charles in there.

We only have Romeu as an option. O wouldn't start him, and if we did, there's no midfield option on the bench. As for the rest of the team, I wouldn't have started Leo. Edit: I missed Charles on the bench!

Great explanation from an ex UN director about the myth of Iranian "proxies". https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18Kw2RidUh/

Apparently been living in the gym. She's gone too far whatever she's been doing.

Off to a cracking start for them - scored the winner today.

Production

Everything he's saying can only drive prices north. It has to be deliberate, and will increase demand for the dollar.

That's acceptable - and consistent.

Genuine question - is he deliberately driving up oil prices? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cgj0gn36px8t?post=asset%3Ab68adc34-05e3-4008-b2dc-d1c90e553c13#post

I can't agree on the family benefits punishment at all. It's a collective punishment, and singles out benefit supported families for different treatment to non benefit supported families. You can't punish benefit class families in a way that you can't punish a middle class family. That's wholly unfair. Hitting kids later in life is something I can get on board with though.

The threat to the petrodollar is one of the factors at play, and led to Iraq, Libya and Venezuela. The US will spend whatever it needs to spend to keep that going imo.

Plans

I get that it's easy to adapt to a road that you drive on probably twice a day, but that's vastly different to driving street to street with ever changing limits.

Yep. Focus on the speedo rather than the road is an issue. The problem on some back streets is that some are 20 and others 30, with no signs, so I only know I'm in a 20 zone when the car beeps at me for exceeding 20.

There are 20 zones all over the place that aren't clearly marked. I don't believe anyone who says they consistently stay below that limit.

Splendid. I love Athens. Did it once by hiring a cabbie almost as old as the structures and taken everywhere, including a lap of the original Olympic stadium against my youngest (which was closed, but said old boy managed to get us in). Enjoy.
