  1. Don't Give Up, Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush
  2. Of course, a lot of migration to Europe is a result of Russian crimes in Africa so maybe he could give his late Vlad a special deadline to deal with that. 2 weeks, 50 days, something like that. https://united24media.com/world/putins-migrant-weapon-how-russia-is-staging-europes-next-border-crisis-10042
  3. I hope it does and you have a terrible season. Have a nice day!
  4. Dodd was. He was class.
  5. Not sure it shows that for all utilities. Power and gas, for example, are at least markets in which generators and suppliers compete and where the commodity can be transported over long distances. Water is not like that at all, and should definitely never have been privatised.
  6. It's the called The Byeeeep Teest Liiike.
  7. There is no school on this forum.
  8. It was hilariously good. And in response I posted Schopenhauer's mother's withering critique of her son, which was apposite indeed.
  9. Someone has edited this thread! Shenanigans!!!
  10. That every new TV series starts by showing a moment of high-drama / pivotal concept and then cuts to.... "three weeks earlier".
  11. It's times like these, I think of Arthur Schopenhauer, the German philosopher. More specifically, I recall the letter his mother wrote in 1807. ‘You are not an evil human; you are not without intellect and education; you have everything that could make you a credit to human society. Moreover, I am acquainted with your heart and know that few are better, but you are nevertheless irritating and unbearable, and I consider it most difficult to live with you. All of your good qualities become obscured by your super-cleverness and are made useless to the world merely because of your rage at wanting to know everything better than others; of wanting to improve and master what you cannot command. With this you embitter the people around you, since no one wants to be improved or enlightened in such a forceful way, least of all by such an insignificant individual as you still are; no one can tolerate being reproved by you, who also still show so many weaknesses yourself, least of all in your adverse manner, which in oracular tones, proclaims this is so and so, without ever supposing an objection. If you were less like you, you would only be ridiculous, but thus as you are, you are highly annoying’.
  12. When's his testimonial?
  13. She's talking sense there.
  14. Lego-head bint stealing a living.
  15. No wonder she looks happy.
  16. Supposed to be 90s mush.
  17. Ooh, sorry. Wrong forum.
  18. Going dogging? Use Garmin to make sure you find the correct part of the car park! 🫡
  19. With Garmin as our sponsor we'll be sure to find the back of the net.
  20. "You go to women? Do not forget the whip!" Thus Spoke Zarathustra, F. Nietzsche
  21. I've been wondering who the sleeve sponsor would be.

    Israel

    Yes, this is a misguided attempt to create a buffer zone in Syria (to buffer them from the other buffer zones they've taken in Syria).
