"Stevie, mug righter, all knowing weight scale of all the fanbases, are you there? Give us a sign, wor kid."

He got a ticket in the ballot.

Aye, sure that's Paddy. What's he done to you?

Are we really just going to ignore that PL’s grandad was shot in the DickBusch? Come on lads, it’s right there, on a plate.

Also a bit confused about your general view on this place tbh.. do you think we don't criticise Labour? I think I've gone for Starmer almost as much as the Tories, and specifically over principle. When is he gonna admit that Brexit is the main cause of our economic decline, is the big problem for me. We're on the left of the spectrum so we actually do deal in facts, evidence and data. Not fever dreams like the right.

There’s your answer.

Are we stuck between ... no fuck it, not going there.

Fucking woke.

How's things going on GB news did anyone ask? Here's Rees-Moggs daughter doing tarot cards with a presenter and Michael Gove because errr.....? https://bsky.app/profile/bestforbritain.bsky.social/post/3lioqlj6emc26

The potential for linguistic faux pas in that country is obviously great. Luckily I pronounced 'juliper' correctly last time I was there. Anyway, on this busy TT afternoon shall I do some more police memes or something?

Just reminded me of that time that prize knacker Spurs fan Danny B was on here arguing blind that a football match was ‘a two horse race’. Even after I pointed out there were 3 possible results after 90 mins.

Donald Trump first came to the attention of Soviet intelligence through their Czechoslovak subsidiary when in April 1977, aged 31, he married Ivana Zelnickova, a 28-year-old model and citizen of communist Czechoslovakia. The couple first experienced Moscow in 1987 on a visit arranged by the Soviet ambassador to the US, Yury Dubinin, and organised by the KGB. Dubinin told Trump that the leading Soviet state agency for international tourism, Goscomintourist, had expressed interest in “pursuing a joint venture to construct and manage a hotel in Moscow”. The Trumps stayed in the Lenin Suite at the National Hotel near Red Square, rooms which would have been bugged and well covered by hidden cameras. Although nothing appears to have come from this trip, in his book, The Art of the Deal, Trump describes how the visit fired him with the ambition of developing real estate in Russia, including a Trump Tower in Moscow. Trump later made three further solo trips to Moscow before becoming President: in 1996 to examine a development opportunity; in 2007 to promote “Trump Super Premium Vodka 24K” (the bottles were decorated with pure 24k gold) at the Millionaire Fair; and finally for the 2013 Miss Universe pageant. Trump is insistent that he didn’t spend a single night in Moscow during this pageant, even though in his letter to Putin he said he would be spending two nights there. Flight records show that his plane did arrive two days before the event, so perhaps Trump has a failure of memory about the two nights, or maybe he simply wants to deny what happened. According to the defector Oleg Kalugin, once the youngest general in the KGB and former head of KGB political operations in the US, “Trump had fun with a lot of girls during that trip and that it is certain that the KGB had compromising material from it”. This was later backed up by the Steele dossier used as evidence in the Muller investigations on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections. Much has been said about the Steele dossier, heavily criticised by an apprehensive Trump team. They continue to shower scorn on the claims about Trump without providing any evidence for their scepticism. A colleague in the British Embassy in Moscow in the early 90s, Chris Steele was an energetic 3rd Secretary and built up an impressive list of contacts in Russia during his three years. He was rated “a very professional operator” by a former UK ambassador. Between 2006 and 2009, he ran the MI6 Russia desk in London, before retiring to form his consultancy company Orbis. Because of Steele’s extensive knowledge and credibility on Russia, prior to the 2016 presidential election, Orbis was contracted by the Washington consultancy Fusion GPS, acting for a Republican donor, to create the “dossier” examining links between Donald Trump and Russia. In the dossier, Trump’s alleged sexual activity during his 2013 trip to Moscow was described in colourful detail, causing severe embarrassment to the White House, which in the traditional way described it as “fake news”. Countless businessmen and diplomats have been compromised over many years by Soviet or Russian videos taken by concealed cameras during “arranged” sex sessions in hotels. Students of Soviet/Russian intelligence will confirm that “Kompramat” has been the weapon of choice by Moscow since cameras were invented. So it would be extremely surprising if hidden cameras had not been used during Trump’s various stays in Moscow for “future use”. In fact, as Kalugin says, it is virtually certain that Donald Trump was compromised on each occasion. However, until the numerous tapes locked away in the Putin-controlled KGB stores in the bowels of the Lubyanka become available, we shall have no absolute proof. But such activity would be in line with thrice-married Trump’s proclivity for sexual misconduct. He has already admitted to grabbing women inappropriately and to paying off multiple women with whom he allegedly had affairs. Perhaps you agree with Donald Trump that he is too decent and honest a man to fall for sexual blackmail. OK, so let’s consider another area of opportunity for Putin to blackmail Trump—money. It’s widely believed that when faced with multiple bankruptcies Trump was “saved” on countless occasions by Russian money, the reason why he fights so hard to keep his financial returns out of the public eye. In 1992, he admitted to New York Magazine that two years earlier he was $5bn in debt, with a whopping $980m in personal guarantees. He managed to reduce this to $115m by selling off a string of yachts and planes and restructuring his debts, but by July 1991 his flagship Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City New York was in financial trouble and filed for bankruptcy. Bondholders, believed to be Russian mobsters, rushed to the rescue and the casino was saved. But now the Taj Mahal became the place where “no questions were asked” about the vast amount of Russian money flowing through the casino, where Russian racketeers flocked to pay $100,000 a time for “special treatment”. In this way, the casino became a favourite venue for laundering the “black” cash pouring out of Russia, organised by the KGB in cohorts with Russian mobsters after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 2015, the casino admitted to having “wilfully violated” anti-money laundering regulations for years and was fined $10m, a paltry sum but the highest penalty ever levied by the US Federal Government against a casino. In her best-selling new book ‘Putin’s People: How the KGB took back Russia and then took on the West’, the highly respected Financial Times journalist, Catherine Belton, describes in intimate detail how Russian “black cash” repeatedly came to Trump’s aid in the nick of time to prevent disaster. Belton worked in Russia for many years, from the time Putin came to power until 2013, during which she built up a formidable list of contacts. Detailing her sources, she describes how numerous Russian mobsters laundered black cash into Trump’s businesses over a number of years. As almost any deal, even as low as $20m, had to be authorised by President Putin, he will have a complete record of Trump’s indebtedness to him. Such information is power. Mark Morris.

Hey lads Just had a message from one our fine members and I said something which I thought I’d share with you all. So.… One of the things I love most about here is that, even though we’re mostly total strangers to each other in real life, whenever one of us is suffering we come together like few places I’ve seen in t’interweb or real life. It’s my time to now be the recipient, and it really does mean so much to me, so thanks, each and every one of you. Even if you are a pack of twats

Sharpnel in the Dickebusch 😑

Don't worry yourself, He's just asking questions

The movement to do this was passed under Sunak, Labour are simply following along with what was set up. I don't agree with it, but then apparently people in this country want protections for children and identification of terrorist threats more than they want privacy. Apple's issue with it isn't the UK government having access, it's that creating such access allows vulnerabilities that could be exploited by other governments. The US itself has also tried and failed to have a backdoor put in. What I will say in support of our government here, is that if we are prepared to have big tech firms pull their products from the market over policy decisions, even ones created by the previous government, then it's a healthy sign that politicians feel that the corporates are not or shouldn't be untouchable.

I bet he must have loads to say about the Russian legal system and freedom of speech there? Surely?

I remember ducking into idols with a mate when Mick was on the mic taking the piss, introducing the 'topless totty' and getting unsuspecting fans on the stage to neck a pint of Lord Rupali's hottest curry, usually keeping an eye on any wandering away fans who were starting to show up in the 90s. Anyway, two Bolton fans are next to me and Mick grabs one of them after one of them is dazed by the dancer's tits and gets him to do the curry challenge. It's packed and everybody's in a good mood as we're drinking and about to watch KK's team do their stuff. The Bolton fan just looks on in wonder before shaking his head saying to anyone listening in his lancs accent, 'You don't get this in Bolton!!!' That Bolton fan is basically speaking for Trafford thirty years later but swapping Bolton for Burnley.

Can I interest you in a lovely bit of stottie to go with that post, sir?

Sorry to hear about your mum. Take care of you and yours. Love from a

Now you're sounding paranoid

Honestly I didn’t expect this. So next year on contract we have pope, dubs and the Argonaut? The swindle, will probably leave. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ruddy stayed on as a training keeper. There are reports that Trafford is incoming (very happy with that btw, he will be future England no1). Maybe he gives pope, dubs and trafford a run at each other and see who comes out on top for starting? It’s not a bad thing to have more good players, if we can afford it.

Well if he had it out on a plate it was bound to end badly.

this cunt

Actually I think with that it’s the same, ie the British use the French name ‘Ypres’ whereas the locals would use the Flemish ‘Ieper’. I think its military nickname with the British armed forces was pronounced ‘wipers’ ie a bit of a joke based on the French spelling. I hadn’t thought about it until you’ve mentioned it there but there was probably a decision made in WWI to always use the French name for places to avoid confusion. Which wouldn’t have necessarily applied to somewhere like Zeebrugge, which I think would have been a tiny fishing port back then rather than than the much larger port it became. I have watched a lot of documentaries and read and studied about WWI in case you were wondering Actually Belgium played quite a big role in WWII as well and at certain points battles were fought in what remained of the trenches from the previous conflict.

Even the European far right are turned off by these clowns.

In case anyone's wondering what CT is up to, he's actually written a reworked version of Coolio's Gangsta Paradise. He's sent me the lyrics and asked me to produce a backing track for him. What do we think? Crypto Paradise (To the tune of "Gangsta’s Paradise") [Intro] As I log into my wallet, I take a look at my gains, I been trading so long, even bears know my name. But I ain't never lost a dime to no paper hands, Christmas Tree in the game with a diamond plan. [Verse 1] I really love Musk, got his tweets on alert, When he says "Doge to the moon," man, I buy it first. Ain't no FUD in my mind, ain't no fear, ain't no doubt, When the market takes a dip, best believe I buy out. I'm the king of DeFi, staking coins overnight, Making APY so high, man, my ledger’s looking right. Everybody HODL tight, watch the candle light up, Bitcoin hit a new high, man, we never give up. [Chorus] Been spending most my life, living in a Crypto Paradise, FOMO every night, ‘cause the profits feeling real nice. Been spending most my life, living in a Crypto Paradise, If you selling, that ain't right, HODL strong, don’t think twice. [Verse 2] Look at the gas fees, man, they making me cry, But I just swapped some ETH, now I'm feeling so fly. Flipped a meme coin at dawn, bought a Lambo by noon, Now I’m chilling in the metaverse, flexing on Zoom. See, I’m a blockchain believer, decentralized dreamer, If you still using banks, man, I wouldn’t wanna be ya. Got a cold wallet stack, never gettin’ hacked, Regulators on my back, but they never getting jack. [Bridge] Tell me why—Musk tweets “X” and the charts go high? And why—SEC tryna make my gains go dry? [Chorus] Been spending most my life, living in a Crypto Paradise, Bear runs pass me by, but I’m still in it long-time. Been spending most my life, living in a Crypto Paradise, Bull runs got me hyped, taking profits feels so right. [Outro] Yeah, we riding these waves, yeah, we making that bread, When the market's in flames, we just buy it instead. Elon’s sending us up, Mars the next stop, Christmas Tree cashing in, man, the grind don’t stop @Christmas Tree

Somehow I think I've started to hate Vance more than either of the other two. The audacity of this gnomish scrote to come over here and think anyone gives the slightest fuck what he thinks about anything.

We desperately need the 3 points here. I’m not even sure who the favourites are.

Trump 'very frustrated' and Zelensky must strike minerals deal, says adviser At least they are now being "honest". Trump is using extortion against Ukraine for their rare earth minerals or, presumably, he will allow Russia in and seek to do the same with Putin. The problem is that Putin would never stick to any "deal" which he agrees with mango man. Meanwhile

All these idiots voting for him and people like him, just being played by Russia and made into traitors against their own countries...

Get fucked

A data suppository if you will

Thats our RB cover sorted for Tino next season.

I'll add that Bernie just doesn't have the reach either unfortunately. That video is doing a lot better than most of his do ( I do subscribe), but in sharing terms it hardly touches the sides, with 2.2 million views currently and approximately 2.1 million of those being from @Rayvin.

Huh.... OK THEN.

So clearly HMHM is the sort of fella who googles himself daily.

It's Broo-gaha when said over there. I am listening to Not So Quiet On The Western Front podcast and there's a great epidosde on the mis pronunciation of place names etc in the Some Region. I think there's a law in the Flanders part of Belgium to have both the Flemish and French name of the major roads.

I saw a bit of Brugge v Atalanta and they cut through the Italians at will and Atalanta aren't doing too badly at all ATM in their league. Just looked and brugge defeated villa 1-0 in the league stage.

I would imagine to become the captain of the ISS you would have to be the most elite of the elite? But no, you can accomplish this whilst being "fully retarded" apparently.

Ahhh fuck. I need a piss.

If City sign Marmoush, Khusanov and Reis in this window (as is looking likely), they will still have a net spend over 100m LESS than any of Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea or Spurs since the arrival of Pep. With a slightly better return on silverware. Boyhood dreams.

It'll be long ball stuff in League 2 so he'll love it down there. I'm continuing until I get a bite.
