It was GM - are you surprised ?

That's right boy, lick my boots.

As the ref booked Stu for the foul VAR had to assess if the yellow was a 'clear and obvious' error of judgement on the severity of the challenge.

Took too long though.

No more easy points 😞

Born in Slough.

And the commenaters mentioned that the ref should have gone back and booked him at the same time he booked Moi. On another point - how can play be called back for a VAR check nearly 3 minutes after the possible offence took place ?

none. Which is exactly how may we would lose if City score.

On the other hand, what is the bad news ?

Question Time this week came from St Andrews, and included this response to JRM's slur - "I think there’s a degree of projection from Jacob Rees Mogg…given that Boris Johnson has entrusted him with a role that is no more important than to deal with etiquette and protocol, like he’s some kind of steampunk C-3P0"

The best finale to Paradise.... ?

David Milliband - the best PM we never had. If you think Corbyn should ever have got near a Government front bench post you are a total fool.

It takes very little imagination to realise Corbyn would have been a disaster.

You see, it is all about personal perspective. For instance, some people would take up your gauntlet by replying "Delivered Brexit, kept Labour out of power, produced the fastest vaccine response to the pandemic, one of the first countries to legally commit to zero emissions". Then again, YOU might go for this; https://skwawkbox.org/2019/12/08/the-long-list-of-shame-tory-achievements-2010-2019/

Ummm. I seem to think there might be some sort of Monty Python meme appropriate to this question.

Can you learn to use brackets after your index numbers ?

"Organic" fruit and vegetables. Certain produce may have been cultivated in an "environmentally friendly" way, but biochemically ALL fruit and veg are organic by definition.

Tank

English 'nationalism' will arrive by default after the Scots go and Ireland is unified.

Russian foreign policy has historically been based on 'spheres of influence', which in their case ranged across the entirity of the old Russian Empire; from Finland and the Baltic Sea to Vladivostock, from the Arctic to the Caucasus and the Black Sea, including Latvia. Lithuania, Estonia, Eastern Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, and the various central Asian "Stans". Over the last 30 years the Russian sense of nationalism has been eroded as the various regions around it's periphery have gained independence, and in the case of the European regions realigned to a Western viewpoint. Putin is sabre rattling for his domestic audience. He had jusification, in his eyes, for his actions in the Crimea, and the continuing support for the secessionists in Donbas, as he was supporting ethnic Russian minorities, ( a situation made more complicated by Stalin's enforced population relocations that altered the local demographics ). In the case of Ukraine he sees a threat from the political defeat of pro Russian parties, yet has been emboldened in the last few years by Trump's apparent lukewarm support for the European members of NATO. Hopefully this is just posturing to acheive some sort of concession regarding Ukraine's future direction - he has little to gain by going "hot" against the US; Russian forces are strong on paper, but have been poorly serviced over the last decade, and I wouldn't think there would be a great level of support domestically for a major military confrontation. It really depends on how firm the US wants to be, given it has redirected it's attention towards China.

Presumably he is now enjoying Paradise by a dashboard light.

Heaven no longer has to wait.

Now we will never know what he wouldn't do for love.
