  1. Delightful company you keep Bob. https://novaramedia.com/2025/08/19/robert-jenrick-pictured-with-neo-nazi-leader-at-anti-migrant-protest/
  2. He can’t provide the said username as there isn’t one. As for being allegedly laughed off of TUI, I chose not to post so frequently as there were too many reactionary posters like him there. Having said that, there seem to be some more reasonable posters there these days. At least I made a personal decision whereas he wasn’t given a choice, he was banned from TUI. A grown man with a family being banned from a football forum, now there is a laughing matter for you. 😂
  3. Only because TACO man is in Putin’s pocket. What happened to the latest threat of further sanctions? It vanished after he let Putin’s walk all over him in Alaska. Trump has completely bottled it. He could make things very difficult for Putin but when it comes to the crunch, he chickens out. The reason so many European leaders have high tailed it to the US is to try and force Trump to grow a backbone. Trump seems to change his mind depending on who he last spoke to. I wouldn’t trust him any more than I trust Putin.
  4. No one is disputing that. Perhaps go back and look at the thread title again and engage your brain? For example, you don’t normally find fields full of multiple types of mushrooms in early August, especially during a heatwave.
  5. Just ignore him. As ever he is just trying to turn every thread about him in his constant need for attention and laughing emojis.

    V J day

    There is currently a harrowing drama on BBC on Sunday nights based on the book The Long Road To The Deep North. The story jumps about in time but the central character was a POW involved in the building of the Burma-Thai railway. Having grown up hearing about things like the Holocaust and the brutality of the Japanese in WW2 I just assumed that other generations were taught about it in school too. I was surprised to hear that my wife, who was born in 1966, knew nothing about the brutality of the Japanese against POWs in WW2. There are various bits of history that should be compulsory teaching for all children. These things should never be forgotten.
  7. The harvests around here have started much earlier than usual. For the last two weeks I have seen mushrooms in the fields that don’t usually appear until later in September/October. The berries are fuller and riper earlier than usual and some trees are starting to shed leaves already. Strange to see signs of Autumn mid August and with the weather still so warm.
  8. Trump said that there was a 25% chance of not getting a “deal.” I think that most of us thought there was a 100% chance of not getting a deal. Putin has been playing Trump like a cheap fiddle all the way along and the only person who can’t see that is Trump. You have to feel for Zelensky. Not only is he having to deal with one of the biggest sociopaths in recent times as an enemy, but his main ally is in Putin’s pocket.

    Israel

    An excellent overview of the Israeli position by Jeremy Bowen. Well worth reading. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3r441zyw27o.amp I wonder if so many Israelis would support his actions if they were allowed to see the news reports that we are. The chances of a two state solution look zero whilst these extreme views persist. Spoiler alert - Eyal Berkovic puts in an appearance in the article. He is a TV talk show host now.
  10. I was wedged up against the wall just before it collapsed. Somehow I popped out of the crowd like a bar of soap and ended up standing by a WPC who tried to get me back into the crowd. I remember saying to her “I’m not back in there love” at the moment the wall collapsed. The whistle went and I walked across the pitch with the players wondering how I was going to get out. Oddly enough I guy I worked and played football with (Orient supporter) was on the opposite side of the pitch, saw me and shouted my name, so I climbed over the wall and left with him. Can’t believe that no one was seriously injured in the crush when the wall went over.
  11. Something else I just pulled out of the bag. Don’t pretend that you don’t know what I did for a living nic. https://taxjustice.net/press/hmrc-data-debunks-uk-non-dom-exodus-claims-ft-reports/#:~:text=HMRC data debunks UK non-dom exodus claims%2C FT reports,-Mark Bou Mansour&text=New data from the UK's,exodus%2C says the Financial Times. 80% of the UK millionaires support a wealth tax. Rather blows your theory out of the water.
  12. It would appear that the so called non dom exodus is just another conspiracy theory. Who would have thought it? https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/08/14/the-wealthy-have-not-gone/

    Israel

    Eminent (American Jewish) actor and singer, Mandy Patinkin, recently gave a very powerful and emotional response in an interview about the situation in the Middle East. The last sentence is particularly potent. ”I ask Jews to consider what this man Benjamin Netanyahu and his right wing government is doing to Jewish people all over the world. They are endangering not only the State of Israel, which I care deeply about and want to exist, but they are endangering the Jewish population all over the world. To watch what is happening, for the Jewish people to allow this to happen to children and civilians of all ages in Gaza, for whatever reason, is unconscionable and unthinkable.” ”And I ask you Jews everywhere, all over the world, to spend some time alone and think, is this acceptable and sustainable? How could it be done to you and your ancestors and you turn around and do it to someone else?” Netanyahu and his supporters and enablers would call these comments anti-Semitic. I think most reasonable people with any shred of humanity would say that they are bang on the money.
  14. My guess is that it would be like an AI version of the Lounge. There would be a couple of barking mad AI conspiracy theorists and a small group of anti woke AI bots slagging off any bots who are remotely woke. On the football section you will have some bots wetting their circuit boards while others will be complaining about the lack of transfer news and a few will be producing bizarre clues to future transfers that even other AI bots can’t fathom out.
  15. Strange day. Still no firm signings so no change there but we also saw a seasoned poster give a kicking to a pleasant, unassuming French lad for doing nothing more than talking about a transfer and then, to top it all, another seasoned poster seems to inadvertently let slip some deep rooted sexual feelings for said French lad. This alone makes it a 10/10 window in my book!

    I was responding to Batman, not you. No it is not ok and I have never said that it is have I? If I don’t answer you it is because I don’t read many of your posts nowadays. You are either a figment of someone’s imagination or are just batshit crazy. Either way you/Ralph are a waste of time. By the way, when was the last time that there was a major disturbance in the UK with Muslim protestors burning bibles and chanting death to infidels and soldiers? My bad but I must have missed it. When I did used to read your posts I don’t recall you being critical of Trump, Farage, Netanyahu etc. You were and are critical of people who criticise those people though. I therefore conclude that you are either on a constant wind up or are just aligned to deeply unpleasant people. Either way you are fully deserving of all the abuse you get.
  17. You really didn’t need to ask it that did you? 😉

    Read this Batman. She actually admitted inciting violence. Still trying to pretend it isn’t an issue and more serious to holding up a placard? https://www.cps.gov.uk/cps/news/updated-sentence-childminder-admits-inciting-racial-hatred-over-social-media-post Does holding up a placard saying that you don’t agree that something is a terrorist organisation make you a terrorist? Is the Government lying to us? Yvette Cooper is saying that she has evidence that Palestine Action are planning far more extreme activities and that is why they have been described as a terrorist organisation. I believe that there is a legal appeal pending as to as whether they are actually a terrorist organisation. If she has the evidence to prove that they are, then they clearly are not lying to us. If they pose the threat of terrorists I doubt if you will see so many people taking to the streets in support of them. It is a shame that we are having this discussion and that there are still people who get more agitated about these demonstrations yet don’t seem to give a shit about the innocent people being murdered or staved in Gaza and the Wear Bank. Anyone would think that you are anti- Palestinian and pro far right agitators 😉

    It’s absolutely nothing like inciting people to burn down hotels with people inside them. Other than that, spot on Batman.
  20. Number 24. It is about the wartime exploits of Norwegian resistance fighter Gunnar Sønsteby. A very moving film about a very brave man. You can catch it on Netflix.
  21. Absolutely. For those saying she can do what she likes with her body, yes she can, but of what price down the line. The porn industry is full of very damaged people later in life. And would you be happy if you wife or daughter carried out stunts like this? I’ve been following a thread on a mostly female forum about her. As you would expect she is getting a lot of hate. Strangely though the only people slagging the 1057 men off tend to be the men. The point has been made repeatedly that she will have to keep finding more and more outrageous stunts to keep the big money rolling in. How much further can you go? Only Fans have dumped her thanks to pressure from Visa so she can’t cash in on her stunt there anymore. The lady who produced the documentary bailed on her when she decided to do an interview with Andrew Tate and she is separated from her husband. She was sick with “the worst flu I have ever had” immediately after the 1000 msn stunt. She says that she is empowering women but other women are saying that she is setting back feminism by decades. She is deliberately targeting what she calls “barely legals” - 18 year olds - for sex. What a great example she is setting to males starting out in an adult world.
  22. I don’t know I would liken you both to Piers Morgan as, despite his many faults, he is reasonably bright and has had a very successful career! Still, if you say so. I do recall likening you to Jay from The Inbetweeners and Duckie to Alf Garnett though. Anyway, given that a certain posters had opened this particular can of worms, I asked the robot if sadoldgit was anti-Semitic and this is what it concluded. ”From these excerpts sadoldgit appears to be strongly critical of Israeli policy - an expression that is not automatically anti-Semitic. However, some of the wording used has raised valid concerns from other users about the potential for generalisation or conveying unfair blame on Jewish individuals or communities as a whole. While not definitively anti-Semitic certain comments may be interpreted as insensitive or poorly phrased. The issue seems more about concerning language rather than explicit hatred.” The example it used was a phrase that I had borrowed from an eminent Jewish person so I thought that I was on safe ground. Since getting a kicking a while ago for my phraseology I have made a conscious effort to aim my criticisms at Netanyahu, the extremists in his government, the IDF and those who enable and support them. I have often used clips from Jewish commentators apposed to the Israeli actions against the Palestinians and have made it clear on a number of occasions that I am against all forms of extremism, not those who oppose it, which many Jewish people do. So Duckie. Not antisemitic despite your best efforts to pretend that I am. 😘
  23. I wasn’t going to watch the Ch4 documentary about her 1000 man stunt but it has been all over radio phones in recently so I thought I would give it a go. Apart from It being a thoroughly depressing insight into how low the human condition can sink at times, the worst part for me was the support she had from her mother. She said that anyone would do what Bonnie does for £2m a month. No they wouldn’t dear and the fact that you are benefitting from her earnings makes you no better than her pimp. Anyone here seen it? More intriguingly, was anyone here in the line up?
  24. Just because I assume the worst of dissenters it doesn’t mean that they aren’t jack boot wearing nazis or frothing at the mouth, barking mad flat earthers! 😉 Dont agree with Morgan but happy with Campbell and Cox.
