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.

Holding what out ?

Worried Bree might get snapped up ?

Replacements for those 3 were hardly going to be improvements upon them.

They have gone retro - it runs on a Commodore Vic20 simulator.

From Wikipedia's page on the new Defence Secretary; "In September 2012, Google blacklisted 19 of the Shapps' business websites for violating rules on copyright infringement related to the web scraping-based TrafficPayMaster software sold by them.Shapps's web marketing business's 20/20 Challenge publication also drew criticism. It cost $497 and promised customers earnings of $20,000 in 20 days. Upon purchase, the "toolkit" was revealed to be an ebook, advising the user to create their own toolkit and recruit 100 "Joint Venture Partners" to resell it for a share of the profits. Shapps's use of the names Michael Green, Corinne Stockheath and Sebastian Fox attracted controversy in 2012. He denied having used a pseudonym after entering parliament and, in 2014, threatened legal action against a constituent who had stated on Facebook that he had. In February 2015, he publicly said: "I don't have a second job and have never had a second job while being an MP. End of story." However, in March 2015, Shapps admitted to having had a second job while being an MP, and practising business under a pseudonym." So he is a lying, schyster, pyramid selling, intellectual property theif. No wonder he's a Tory MP.

In both of his Presidential elections Trump LOST the popular vote. It is the vagaries and eccentricities of the Electoral College that saw him elected in the first place.

His fifth different Cabinet post in less than 12 months.
