What's Mr Tumble been up to?

Fatima Whitbread for one.

Seeing that he was fit enough to be on the bench at Wembley, it makes you wonder what he's been doing in the last 2 months.

We've missed out on Charlie Austin.😃 He's signed for AFC Totton. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/24487125.former-saints-striker-austin-completes-medical-ahead-afc-totton/

I assume that she wasn't telling that to her pupils.

Former EDL leader and professional gammon-herder Tommy Robinson has been told that if he doesn’t like the laws of this country then he should go and live somewhere else, after an arrest warrant was issued for him following his failure to appear before the High Court this morning. The arrest warrant was issued after Tommy Ten Names broadcast a ‘documentary’ containing lies that he had been told not to repeat by a judge in the defamation trial he lost in 2021. The 41-year-old grifter had been due in court on Monday morning for allegedly breaching an order not to repeat those lies, and now faces arrest. Again. The arrest warrant has prompted many to question his supporters and ask if they still hold the firm belief that any person who doesn’t like the laws of this country should ‘leave’. Police spokesperson and rational human Simon Williams told reporters, “Obviously the fact that Tommy Robinson has found himself on the wrong side of the law will not have come as much of a surprise to most people.

She could start a fight with her own reflection.

The victim's solicitor is an interesting character: Yakoob, a director at Maurice Andrews Solicitors, in Birmingham, came under investigation by the Solicitors Regulation Authority this year after he used social media to promote a false claim of racism against a young teacher. He stood as an independent candidate in Birmingham Ladywood in the general election after coming third in the campaign for West Midlands mayor in May. He apologised in June after being criticised for saying on a podcast that “70% of hell is going to be women”, and for failing to condemn a guest saying he would give his wife a “backhander” if she made money dancing on TikTok.

Just been looking at the availability for extra tickets for the Forest game. Most of them are the blocks either side of the away fans, just over 500. So, not many people moved to be next to the away fans.

Can't seem to find much about the Tory Leadership Race on this thread. Perhaps we could create an Insults thread where the usual suspects can trade insults like kids in the school playground.

Back to the days of bank robbers in Mk2 Jags.

No sign of Charlie Alcaraz and presumably we're talking to Newcastle about the Wee Man.

Can imagine her being popular with the membership which is mainly elderly, white and male but would probably meet resistance from the MPs.

"We advise all fans to download the Saints Ticket app if they are able to. Any fans who do not have a smartphone or those with accessible needs will be able to request a physical Season Ticket card if needed. We will communicate a specific window when supporters can contact our Ticket Office to request this. Junior fans who may not have a smartphone will be able to store tickets on their registered adult’s smartphone within the new app. A discretionary charge of £10.00 per Season Ticket may be applied on a case-by-case review".

You can get an old-style card but they might charge you a tenner.

The question was very simplistic. Maybe he should have been asked "What are you going to do for communities that have poor housing, few facilities for pre-school children, over-subscribed GP practices etc regardless of ethnicity"?

A bit of light relief. Sherry drinkers vote Conservative.

Money will get you private schools. smaller classes etc. Mrs ecuk268 spent her working life as an infant teacher, mainly reception class and specialising in teaching reading. Some kids came into reception able to read simple sentences whilst some others had never seen a book. Money makes a difference but so does parental attitudes.

Judged on merit if you've had equal opportunities in your formative years.

Growth figures from pre-pandemic up to May 2024

Jonathan Pie as perceptive as ever:

I'm sure that'll get the votes rolling in.

I parked at Gerrards Cross for £1.60. I hate smug people.

I'm from a working-class background, passed the 11+ and went to grammar school in the 60's. Although our school had a wide spectrum of social classes we all got along ok and I never saw any cases of snobbery, inverted or otherwise. The main thing that it gave me was confidence. At the headmaster's welcome meeting he told us that we were there on merit, not because our parents had paid for us and we were as good as any children in the private schools. Society was more class conscious then so that was good to hear. As with others, there was no history of university education in our family so it wasn't until I was in my late twenties that I did my degree. Now retired but consider myself fortunate in that every job I've had (all involving technology in various forms) I've found interesting and generally enjoyed them. I'd hate to have had to get up in the morning to do a job that I hated or was boring. What good education gives you is choice of where you want to go and what path you wish to take in life.
