To use the old joke from The Young Ones (not the Cliff Richard version): "If I told you darlin you'd think that I was talking about centimetres"

Latest Brexit "benefit: Fruit farmers in Kent reckon that they'll have to leave nearly 10% of their crop unpicked as they can't get the labour. They'll accordingly plant less next year. Meanwhile, their customers (supermarkets) will import the shortfall from the continent.

A short clip from Andy Murray who went through a similar experience as an 8 year-old at Dunblane. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/61640325

Not Saints related but puts all our moaning and groaning into perspective. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/may/30/andy-goram-diagnosed-terminal-cancer?utm_term=6294e3b03c0a70048b56b6deb1a4863d&utm_campaign=TheFiver&utm_source=esp&utm_mr_emedium=Email&CMP=fiveail

Not bothered about an "experience". I just want to turn up, watch the game and go home. Have a natter with the people around me and, if I want food, I get it before or after the match from one of the many vans in Melbourne St. They're there for every game so presumably they don't poison anyone.

I remember back in the 70's trying to explain to my boss that kilograms were measures of mass and not weight, something that the imperial system doesn't seem to recognize.

Along with Godfather II, one of the best mob movies.

Harry Truman had a plaque on his desk in the Oval Office saying "The buck stops here". When No 10 staff are getting so pissed that they're throwing up and fighting, in companies that I've worked in, that would mean the sack.

Been made redundant a couple of times myself so don't like to see people lose their jobs but changes were needed. Good luck to all of them.

Turkish is way ahead on the posting count averaging 7 posts every day for the past 15 years which I think is quite impressive although, as Mrs ecuk268 points out, size isn't everything. SOG is way behind managing only 2.5 posts per day over 16 years. Must try harder.

Claimed that 96% supported the privatisation of Channel 4 whereas it was the opposite.

Up lums???

Allegedly, Andrew Rosindell MP for Romford.

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, when you're a "celebrity", the only thing worse than people writing about you is people not writing about you

Henry VIII. Freed us from the yoke of Rome.

If you shoplift most of the ingredients, then yes.

Why are 3 of our coaches ex-goalkeepers?

More likely that he's only 20 and even the best strikers go through lean patches. I think that we've seen enough to show that he has considerable potential and another year with us would be good for him and us.

They wheeled out a minister this morning and asked him if Starmer should go if fined. He refused to answer (ongoing enquiry etc etc) after the presenter pointed out that if they called for Starmer to resign then Boris would have to go also.

It's a wonder he didn't suggest sending them to Rwanda.

They've stopped coming according to Tory idiot Andrew Bridgen, because of Patel's Rwanda scheme. Apart from the 300 over the last few days.

She was also giving Channel 5 as an example of a successful privatisation despite the fact that it was never publicly owned.
