Apparently, one in three drivers think that cyclists don't belong on the road. ( Well, we at least know GM agrees with that ). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-63492215

If 40% of consumers don't like them then 60% do. Don't we live in a democracy ? If you don't like the Bounty bars, save them up and donate them to a local food bank.

North Korea doesn't have taxes, mortgages, or immigration.

Or post one statistically inaccurate 'fact' about Saints..

Isn't Albania a White List country, so one where persecution has been determined to not be a factor ?

Apparently it took 5 hours to tow the Makarov back to port.

Rishi Sunak is to review the promises he made during his successful leadership campaign to work out if they are actually deliverable.

What did the elepnant say to the naked man ? "Impressive, but can you pick up peanuts with it ?"

Now that is an intriguing choice for a false flag operation.

Yes, but the UK rates are rising faster than most other European countries.

Show me where I have "trolled" you. ( Bit of a pointless ask if I'm ignore but worth trying ). You posted an article about the Eurozone inflation rate, and claiming that this was a good reason for leaving the EU. Your follow-up was a quote about accession states being required to join the Euro, a completely different point, and indeed one that has been pointed out by many on here, myself included, as one reason why rejoining would be far more difficult than simply reversing Brexit. If you actually read the thread and paid attention you could avoid embarrassing yourself. You pompously goose-step around the forum as if you are the greatest mind since Einstein, posting dubious and biased articles where you generally fail to acknowledge the sources, and I suspect expecting people to assume they have been written by yourself and that you understand what they say, and either ignoring or insulting anybody who has the temerity to either counter, question, or prove the falsehood of your input. You are entitled to your point of view, others are entitled to theirs. This is a debating / discussion forum, not your personal podium at Hyde Park Corner. And while you may well be some posters' 'elder', you are most certainly not anybody's 'better'.

He moved a large chunk of his investment business to Ireland before Brexit was finalised.

A 130 year old bullet will kill you just as easily as one produced last week.

As we were never in the Eurozone it is an irrelevant statistic. Do you have any comment on the UK rate not being far behind, ( or being higher depending on which measure you use ) ?

But he said that now he owns the company it would become a bastion of 'free speech'.

Don't forget that overt celebration of capitalism - Black Friday, which of course generally runs for at least a week. And expanding on that subject, how long until we in the UK start with Thanksgiving ?

FYI, there were regional qualifying tournaments, which is how Ireland, Scotland, Greece, the Cook Islands, etc, get to play, but higher ranking teams such as Serbia don't, because they failed to get through the elimination rounds. Remember this is the 2021 RLWC, so qualifying started in 2018. The issue with all this sort of tournament is how do the lesser teams develop if not, at some point, being exposed to the big guns. Most of the Cook Islands players play in NZ, as they all have dual nationality due to the islands being administratively part of NZ. A lot of the Greek players are Australians of Greek descent who play in the NRL, similarly with the Lebanese. Most of the Scottish team are from Yorkshire or Lancashire, and either play Super League or Chaipnship rugby. ( Also, RL was illegal in Greece until about 6 months ago ). There are more nations, globally, that play Rugby Union to a high standard, or cricket - for instance the Netherlands are at the T20WC. As for the favourites, NZ are ranked #1, England are #2, Tonga are #3, and Oz are #4 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Men's_Rugby_League_World_Cup_qualifying

( From being a Horse Racing trainer ). Not many top footballers have such a successful second career in a completely different sporting arena. There must be quite a few on here whose first Saints match involved Mick, and probably many more who have lost money backing one of his horses. Well played sir, and enjoy the rest.

The Russian Defence Ministry has now claimed that the Royal Navy blew up Nordstream.

Don't hold your breath.

First half complete shambles - couldn't string 2 passes together, out muscled in midfield, played into trouble every time we tried to pass it out from the back. Second half more competitive - Che had 2 clear chances but passed both to their GK.

If only we had a half decent striker.
