I have just played this back to confirm what I thought I heard; On R4 the Science Minister was on to talk about the UK rejoining the Horizon program, ( yay, we are now associate members of something we used to be full members of ). However, before getting on to this subject she was asked about the escape from Wandsworth prison and part of her answer was.... "In terms of the number of escapees it is not incomparable to the number we had under the Labour Government, it is about 4 or 5 times the amount under their tenure".

I was the same until, when I was stationary at a set of traffic lights, a bus turned across me and ripped the front of my car off. He denied liability, claiming I had driven into him, and it took ages to sort it out. A video camera would have settled it in a day.

But you get the assist.

Who gets the medal when the record is set, you or tdmickey ?

I am a fickle supporter, more a fan of the game than a specific team. Back in the Mike Ditka days I quite liked the Bears - Walter Payton the supreme running back, and William 'The Refridgerator' Perry the antithesis of an athlete. Similarly I used to like watching Laurence Taylor playing for the Giants, I even had a Giants jersey with his name and number on. These days I enjoy the maverick QBs like Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Have you seen the documentary series "Quarterback" on NETFLIX ?

Crew survivability is an important concept in Western tank design. Oryx reports 3 each of Leopard 2A4 and 2A5 destroyed, with 3 2A5 damaged and abandoned - might wel be recoverable if the UA advance past them later in the campaign. Russia on the other hand reports almost all of the Leo's destroyed, and probably claims a few Abrams, in advance of their actually being deployed.

Video of a Challenger 2 destroyed by heavy artillery during the Ukrainian advance - the first ever total loss of a Chally2 to enemy fire.

Russia is already using North Korean artillery shells. Also, there is evidence that Russia is having to use older, less effective, artillery systems taken from storage due to losses on the front line. Presumably the NK stuff is, in theory, more up to date than this, ( but as to the quality....... ) ( Ukraine has been using Iranian shells that have been seized during attempts to smuggle them to the Yemen civil war. The US intercepted them and passed them on as they are the correct calibre for Ukraine's Russian guns ).

Rishi claims it was nothing to do with him when he was Chancellor as he expanded the capital program in his first statement to the Commons............ It is a semantic point, as what he actually said was he would raise spending such that per pupil it would get back to pre-2010, ( pre Tory ), levels in real terms.

As Kraken has alluded I may be confusing 2 posters with similar names. Are you talking about Chapel End Charlie, or somebody else ? If the former he posted on the Bazunu thread at lunchtime.

So who was masquerading as CEC on the main board earlier today ?

Keith Barker seems to be enjoying things, currently he has 4:12 from 6.2 overs.

Have you ever tried to do a Trump fact check ? Much easier, he never comes out with any.

Tribble ( S2E15 Star Trek TOS ).

Gillian Keegan, Education Secretary, on the radio this morning came out with a couple of brilliant sond bites: firstly she said that where they have been notified of a problem they have acted immediately - to put in props and supports. ( It was the failure last week of a ceiling that had been so assessed and propped up that precipitated the current panic ). She also said that there was less money to addres the problem because of the teachers' pay rise.

Mara should never be a starter.

ITV's coverage of the Tour of Britain; waiting to see our daughter and grandson stood at the side of the road with a flag and a sign - the camera bike following the leading 3 riders was pointing at the other side of the road and when the main peloton went past they were showing the helicopter shot. ( Last time the race went past the same spot, a few years ago, it was during an advert break ). Have they no consideration ?

Bang goes automatic promotion.

True, but we had the January transfer window and all of this summer to find an new stopper but the club seem to be happy with the roster of GKs we have.

It seems I was lucky to miss watching that fiasco. ( Just about kick off time we got a phone call from our son who was taking part in a long distance bike ride in Cheshire. Just over half way through the ride he started to feel ill and rang to ask us to go and pick him up in Nantwich- a round trip of 170 miles !!! ).

In how many matches did Selles play him before switching him out ? ( Considering he had been sat alongside Ralph and Mad Nate for however many matches already, watching Bazunu's performances, plus watching hime in months of training ).

This is all moot whilst the manager and coaches see him as our number 1, and RM is the fourth manager to play him.
