  1. Wasn't it him who smashed into the post early in the second half ? Maybe he was feeling the effect.
  2. Midfield too weak, too many passes went awry, too easy to get behind our FBs, generally too slow to get players forward. At least I haven't seen posts blaming Baz for the goals.
  3. Regardless of the Ipswich result we will be in 3rd with a game in hand over Leeds.
  4. Over-confidence, fatigue, or flattered by the unbeaten run ?
  5. So Brizzle can score again ?
  6. Hey, come on, we have had 70% possession. We all know what's importatnt in this league.
  7. Probably a good test case for the 12th Amendment.
  8. 2 for 1 offer ?

    Israel

    Most people reading such outlets as the Fail, Torygraph, or Express will be blindly voting Conservative anyway, so it is hardly anything other than confirmation bias.

    Israel

    The Green candidate criticised Palestinians and Islam. The deadline for substituting a candidate was Feb 2nd.

    Israel

    Why was the radar test installation turned off ? Why weren't the aircraft at Hickam Field dispersed despite warnings of something in the wind ? The amazing thing about Pearl Harbor is that most of the "sunk" battleships were refloated, repaired, and took active parts in the war, and the West Virginia was present in Tokyo Bay for the Japanese surrender.
  12. The people that voted Liz Truss in as leader ?
  13. Don't worry SOGgy, the next leader of the Conservative Party will be leading them in the wilderness, and certainly won't be the leader next time they get anywhere near the reins of Government.
  14. In the case of Luxembourg the economy is so inflated by international investment money that if it spent 2% then probably every citizen would be driving a tank. For those that spend more, like the Baltics, Poland, and Greece, they are facing existential or perceived threats, for low spenders like Spain there has not been that historical imperative, and changing now presents big challenges to spending priorities; https://www.euronews.com/2023/04/07/nato-why-is-spending-2-of-gdp-on-defence-so-controversial The 2% pledge was made in 2015, and most countries made it on the basis of GDP growth projections, that never really materialised even before the Pandemic hit. Realistically it is an aspiration, as for example it is highly unlikely that Germany is going to be able to double it's defence spending any time soon, despite the situation in Ukraine.
  15. Grant Shapps obviously reckons that the military 's resources are not being wasted on ships that can't put to sea or armoured vehicles that are more dangerous to their crews than to the enemy, the biggest issue affecting the MOD budget and our forces' effectiveness is "leftist wokeism'.
  16. The High Court ruled that the 2017 updated version of Horizon is. "'robust"'.
  17. Patrick Mahomes shows why he is currently the most valuable asset in the NFL. The Niners really should have won that, but the Chiefs just won't lie down and die. Watching the TV coverage I did get annoyed at all the "Oh look, there's another celebrity !" twaddle. it was like a televisual representation of Hello magazine. ( On top of which I don't think I could name a single Usher song, and am not aware that I have ever heard Taylor Swift sing ).
  18. Numb
  19. Perhaps, as Sir Wyn Williams' enquiry is ongoing it is better that she didn't add her two penneth.
  20. Not just the navy. The AJAX fighting vehicle system is years behind schedule and at one point was suspended because it was too dangerous for it's crew and passengers to ride in; https://www.defenceprocurementinternational.com/features/land/has-the-troubled-ajax-armoured-vehicle-programme-turned-a-page
  21. I don't care how they feel, I am entitled to my opinion.
  22. Don't forget the Type 45s that can't sail in warm water. To quote Gene Krantz in Apollo 13 "Somebody tell me this is not a Government operation".

    Well, they do compete in Eurovision.

    Just for poops and giggles, might I ask how hard are we working to uphold the UN Resolutions against Israel ?
