  1. 2 news stories sum things up; Brighton were incorrectly denied a penalty against Arsenal, the VAR review panel have ruled. This was the 3rd Arsenal game in which this has happened, all of which Arsenal won 1-0. Everton and Notts Forest got points deductions for violations of financial rules, Chelsea get a £10M fine, in part because their new ownership were not in charge when the club broke the rules.

    Iran

    "The Trump administration's top official on counterterrorism has resigned from his position, citing opposition to the war in Iran, and urged the president to "reverse course". In a letter posted on Tuesday to his X account, National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent said that Iran posed "no imminent threat" to the US and claimed that the Trump administration "started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg4g66r3z40o "Additionally, Kent alleged that "high-ranking Israeli officials" and influential US journalists had sowed "misinformation" that caused Trump to undermine his "America First" platform. "This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States," the letter continued. "This was a lie.""
  3. Not in England.
  4. Ageism towards cars now. Cars much older than 10 years can be as reliable as new ones, if maintained correctly.
  5. Trump says the UK is "our oldest ally". No, the French are, they helped the seccessionists win the War of Independence.
  6. Since the founding of the Premier League the cup has been won exclusively by PL teams. If we are going to have a trip to Wembley I would rather it be a game we have a chance of winning, so the league playoffs have to be the priority. However, I would still put out a strong(ish) side against Arsenal as the morale hit from a thrashing might feed negatively into the subsequent matches.
  7. I wonder if you "age" men the same way you age beef.
  8. Rosenior also said "In English, ‘manage’ — if you split the two words, it’s ‘man’ and ‘age’ — you’re ageing men".
  9. Coming out again with the "we are there for them but I don't think they will ever be there for us" bullshit. Why can't the International Board of Peace sort this out ?
  10. I went up Pavey Ark one February with our youngest and we built a snow diplodocus at the top.
  11. There are at least 8 'Portsmouth's in the US, including in New Hampshire, Virginia, Rhode Island, Ohio, Iowa, and Michigan. Might explain a lot.
  12. When he was very young he thought they were called Aston Vanilla, so he associated them with ice cream..
  13. The Japanese sent out 12 recce planes to search for the US carriers, one on each segment of a clock face. 1 plane had an engine malfunction and was therefore late setting off - the one that was heading straight to the USN. It finally detected 2 of the carriers, but it's radio failed, so it could not report their position until it got back to it's own fleet, by which time the Americans were attacking. As for the American planes, the decisive dive bomber squadronn failed to find the Japanese and was at the point of turning back when they spotted a Japanese destroyer going at high speed. They played a hunch that it was trying to catch up with the main strike force so turned along it's course, and sure enough a few minutes later the fatal 5 minutes that destroyed three Japanese carriers were enacted.
  14. Comment on a YouTube video..... It's only because of the mass shootings that people realise they actually do have schools in the USA.

    Iran

    FCC head Brendan Carr has threatened the licences of broadcast and print news outlets that publish reports on the war that do not follow the Trump administration's propaganda lines. Such "Fake News", ( AKA the truth ), is "not in the public interest".
  16. Stealth hair gel.

    Iran

    What countries are going to send warships to a war zone where anything not flying an Indian flag is seen as a legitimate target ?
  18. He's also Harry's nephew, so doubly a prick.
