I'm not the first to point this out, but those who go along with the cult-like oath will also be swearing alligence to the Kings heirs. This includes Prince Andrew....

Strange but absolutely true: Walking back towards the Itchen Bridge after the game, I noticed that Chris Houghton was walking beside me. He took a turn off towards one of the match day car parks. 100% definitely him. Probably on a scouting trip for some League 1 club looking at our shit players, but I thought I'd give the rumour mill a stir.

Just watching Kay Burnley take a position way up on the moral high ground throughout a grilling of a Johnson apologist. You'd never guess that she herself was suspended from Sky for 6 months for.......breaking COVID rules.

He literally read the rules out to us live on television, but apparently he needed to rely on someone else's interpretation of whether he was breaking them.

So, Johnson accepts that he did mislead the House of Commons, but says he didn't do so deliberately. There were always only two potential conclusions to draw out of all this; he was either a liar, or he was stupid (to not realise that the No.10 gatherings broke his own rules). So, we now know that he is pleading stupidity.

At last - a Brexit benefit! https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/leeds-uniteds-javi-gracia-post-brexit-work-permit-rules-expert-view-and-reassuring-precedents-4037146

So, the recent census results show that the majority of people in the UK no longer identify as Christian. Seems to confirm that most people are just observing a cultural/historical tradition at this time of year after all, rather than marking the (very unlikely) date of birth of a man with magic powers whose mother was a virgin.

It would be hard to construct a serious argument for 'needing' to become a vegan from a nutritional perspective. The argument for an omnivorous diet being a nutritional necessity is equally flawed. However, nutrition is just one (and the least popular one according to the stats referenced earlier) of the three main reasons that people adopt an animal-free diet. Ethics and the environment are the main drivers. As Pollan says himself: 'I have the ultimate respect for vegetarians and vegans. For they have actually done the work of thinking through the consequences of their eating decisions, something most of the rest of us have not done.'

Is this 'joke' that you've decided is worth sharing implying that all black people are thick, or that all black people look the same, or both?

Dyche for me. People need to get real - we are Saints. Premiership survival is success. The odd big club scalp and the occasional flirtation with the higher end of the table is a bonus. Dyche is a good bet to deliver all of this.

Thanks very much for your quick and knowledgeable reply. Sorry to be thick, but does part 1 apply to my phone and part 2 to my daughter's?

I've just given my 10yr old one of my old Android phones. No SIM card, she just wants to download a few games for car journeys. I set the phone up using my Google account (Google have an age restriction of 13 for accounts) but although she can't accidentally call anyone without a SIM card, I'm not keen on all my contacts being on this phone. Any Ideas how I can remove them from this phone only?- I obviously don't want to delete them completely. Cheers

The case for Bale returning: Gareth Bale is without a club. If Wales qualify for the WC on Sunday, he will need a club to keep match fit. At 33, and having earned a fortune at RM, money won't be a motivator for him. In fact, it would probably only be the WC that would keep him from retiring altogether, so he'd only want a 1 year contract. None of the top 10 Prem clubs will want a player for just a year, whose motivation may fade after the WC ends in Dec. He wouldn't want to play at Championship level. Ideally, he would want somewhere familiar, where he wouldn't have to waste time settling in. Therefore, If Wales qualify for the WC, Bale will sign for Saints.

Can't help with the value, but the Shag was an American dance craze from the 40s/50s. The Tams tried a revival with their late 80s single 'There ain't nothing like shagging'. Oo er missus.

Good to see that the art of reasoned, intelligent debate is alive and kicking.

If you worked in local government, then you'd know that local government isn't the Civil Service. The news today today is about cuts to Civil Service headcount.

Two adult tickets for tomorrow's game unexpectedly available. £40 for both. Anyone interested? Must be able to collect from Chandlers Ford.

With Trent AA out injured, surely a KWP England call up is imminent? Perhaps waiting for him to come through today's game uninjured before announcing.

'Pompey failed to muster a single shot on target as their faint top six hopes were all but ended.' Looks like the Fun's over for another season.

Fingers crossed that Johnson doesn't make any last minute, untruthful comments (like he did when he was Foreign Secretary), to make the Iranians change their minds.

Do we still need to pay any outstanding stage payments for Tino?

Yes, it occured to me how convenient this war is for Johnson. Whenever the results of the Met investigation and full Sue Gray report are released it will be dwarfed on the news agenda by Ukraine. However damning the findings, the appetite for a change of PM at this time will be very small. I want to see the back of him as much as anyone, but doubt that a change would be in anyone's best interest at this particular time.

It certainly belongs on the dark web.
