Lighthouse

You mean apart from BBD, Armstrong, Adams and (you could argue) Archer?

That one goal, and at least two against Leicester, when he had a 0% save percentage, and the goal at Pompey, both goals at Doncaster and the second against Hull. That and having roughly the same save percentage overall this season. Criticise Baz all you want but when Peretz is getting off scot-free for very similar performances it looks more than a little biased.

Frustrating but you can't win them all. You take four points from this and Leicester away, or this and QPR, so win our next game and it looks okay in the grand scheme of things. You can talk all day about the games you should be winning but it's rearely that simply. Lacked a bit of cutting edge and luck today. If Manning's crossbar effort goes in after 25 minutes it's a different game. Azaz had one of those Azaz games, Fellows couldn't finish his dinner and the subs didn't add much either. We did our usual trick of falling asleep for one minute and let in another goal which Bazunu would have been crucified for, but the Peretz thread remains strangely dormant.

For me the Patrick Stewart ‘clothes off’ scene was the absolute peak. I’ve seen the outtakes where they had to do about six takes because Gervais just kept bursting out laughing.

Which is kind of the point really. You can see palaces, castles and other historic buildings all over the world. What the rest of the world doesn't have are Charles and Di, QE2, Will and Kat etc. I couldn't give a flying f**k about the royals but they undoubtedly hold an appeal for a lot of people around the world.

You laugh but that level of regal pomposity is exactly what people come to this country to see. The might not get to have tea with the King but the palaces, the tower, the castles, the changing of the guard etc. are all what foreigners come here to see. They don't come here for the weather, that's for sure. Also, like it or not, people like Trump love the idea of royalty and self importance. The royal family can be a useful tool in dealing with these people.

Thirded. Can't abide Will Ferrell either.

When you said 'ridiculously far-fetched and cheesy', I thought you were going were going to say the bit where he kite surfs a massive tsunami to escape a giant space laser. I didn't realise you were talking about an epipen and a motorbike.

Bond films are a mixed bag. Some are utterly ludicrous, like Moonraker, Die Another Day and No Time to Die. Others are gritty, believable and well made, like Goldeneye, From Russia with Love and Casino Royale. Out of the nine core Star Wars films, only three are actually decent, which isn’t a great success rate.

I don't think it's considered a classic but I thought it was brilliant. Jason Isaacs as Zhukov just stole every scene. It's okay but it's no Inbetweeners 2.

I remember our last group game in 2021 when England had already qualified and second came down to NRR between SA and the Aussies. We played SA in the last game and batted second, which meant that if we’d declared whilst about 40 runs shy of their total, we’d have sent the Aussies home. It would have been the single biggest sh*thouse move in cricket history.

The phrase ‘mixed skeleton’ just reminds me of this.

They started the first four games because their replacements literally hadn't been signed yet and Luke Shaw had just turned 17.

That’s not really true though, he dropped our talisman and top scorer Lambert for the very first game of the season. Even the players you listed were dropped in favour of Boruc, Shaw and Yoshida. I think he may well have kept us up but he was sacked because he was simply nowhere near as good a manager as Poch.

If the USA keeps illegal aliens in the same prison as P Diddy, would that be Alien vs. Predator?

Eskimo Salah.

These haven't got any pop ups with dirty, mature women in my area. Do you have any other links?

The Aussies lose to Zimbabwe, quite comfortably in the end too.

TBF if you live in Leicester, death is probably cause for celebration.

Christ, that’s an expensive turd. Did you weigh yourself before and after?

I had something like that and it said I aged about eleven years over the course of a week ski holiday. Thinking about it, I did actually feel like that at the time.

We’ve got them in our local gym. I’m always slightly dubious of just how accurate they are with regard to calculating fat, water and muscle mass etc. but generally give you a good overview. Apparently I have slightly heavier bones than average… so there.

I thought she did downhill, not ski jumping.

Don't forget that McCarthy has to come back and put in three fairly good performances before the end of the season, so we can inexplicably give him a new two year deal.

I’d probably make a few changes but not the whole team. Something like: Peretz Jelert Wood Quarshie Manning Charles Bragg Fellows Matsuki Edozie Larin
