According to Mogg, Kingsbury was a bad day for Labour as they didn't get 50%. I can't wait to see this cunt walk the distance.

They're upset by this lady nailing it.

Good stuff. It's actually somewhat surprisingly only the 6th recession in modern histroy. 5/6 have come under tory governments. Remind me why people think they are good with the economy again? As well, at least in the old tory days you got a boom before bust. Now it's just 14 years of bust. 1973: -1.3%, Tory government 1980: -3%, Tory government 1990: -1.6% Tory government 2008: -2% Labour government 2020: -22.5% Tory government 2024: -0.4% Tory government

Newcastle United: Club Sold To PCP - Official
Renton replied to The Mighty Hog's topic in Newcastle Forum
Had to look up "Homes England" but appears to be some sort of government quango, not a private investor, so potentially this site could still be repurposed maybe? If SJP can't be expanded on or very near its footprint this is the only site I can think of that would be acceptable. Not happy if our options are reduced further. Also, 1,100 homes on a site this big so close to the centre strikes me as quite unambitious, -

The BBC are repeatedly referring to it as a "technical recession". What does that mean? It's just a fucking recession, full stop. The BBC were also at paind to point out GDP is a lagging indicator, and we might not be in recession right now! As you say, quite the take. We imported over half a million people ;ast year, mainly workers, and yet our GDP still decreased. That is a huge problem. Edit, James O'Brien just gave the figure of change in GDP per capita since just before covid: UK -1.1% US +6.0% EU +2.7% The response from tories will be but Germany. Think it's true that Germany is doing quite badly right now. This is partly due to Ukraine, and partly because their energy policy is nuts and they have embraced austerity which is also nuts. But before we celebrate, consider that Germany is coming from a much higher base than us. Germany GDP per capita: $53,945 UK GDP per capita: $46,428 I also suspect they don't have the same inequalities as us.

What about promoting manager's from the past? No, not Bruce, that would be silly. I'm thinking more.... -

UK officially in recession. How's that growth pledge going Sunak? I've made the point before, but GDP is not the relevant indicator here, GDP per capita is (or should be). That's how the economy impacts on people. If you look at that, apparently we were in recession throughout the entirety of Sunak's tenure.

Aye, me too. Boring as fuck tbh. Contrary to what they think, the fans don't come across as particularly well. They're 100% reactionary and often very strange looking. The idea that someone stateside would say "Wow, look at those fans, I want some of THAT!!!" is laughable. Also why do they love that Onion person? What a whinging fanny he is.

Yah, yah, ze model.

Apparently Jobe is shit again. I can't keep up.

Yep, Jobe Bellingham, who scored what I would call a functional goal against a poor second tier defence, is England's brightest talent again.

So STID3 is out. Might watch it but obviously for NUFC fans it will not be as funny as the previous 2. I suspect that will be true for the neutral too. The SMB have several threads on it of course. THis one is funny. https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/netflix-exposure.1627292/ It's quite insane. To summarise, it criticises the club for not capitalising on merchandise from the first two series, which made Sunderland a massive club on all SIX continents apparently. Apparently, accorsing to half a dozen on the thread, we're jealous as fuck of them because they're on Netflix. And my favourite, Stanger Things sold loads of merchandise and that was on Netflix, so why isn't the club selling millionsof replica shirts from their shed in Bishop? Sample posts below. Like the difference in league quality thing, I'm not sure they actually get the fact that what made STID unmissable viewing, for neutrals and NUFC alike, was it was comedy gold and showed the club being utterly humiliated. The first series was a black comedy and the second was like a world class mockumentary. I fucking loved the Office, but not because Daivd Brent was a good example of an office manager. I watched it to laugh at Brent. And that was made up. Fucking hell, this brain donor Nelford apparently can't tell the difference between a sit com and a documentary.

EVERYTHING'S A JOKE TO YOU EH, EH?! Our descendents, our children, are going to suffer catastrophe but that's okay as long as you can shoehorn your cheap jokes in, EH? On the other hand, they were magnificent tits, so fair's fair. -

Renton replied to Happy Face's topic in General Chat
This is from Sabine Hoffender, she's a German physicist, Isegrim might know about her but I think she's like a German Brian Cox, but funnier. This isn't that funny though - she not only explains how much temperature will go up but what the consequences will be to western society. A few billion deaths and a century or more of regression. Anyway, there is some research that suggest the upper estimates for climate change are going to happen, in fact higher than anything so far extrapolated. We've got 20 years before armageddon. -

Yeah. Given the importance of sea temperature on the climate, that is terrifying. Several reasons. First, this is just unprecedented and extremely suddedn and unexpected. Second, the oceans contain the world's energy, they warm the air and make it humid, potentially causing catastrophic rain and storms. Third, the latent heat of water makes it slower to cool down and very hard to reverse. Finally, and what most people don't realise, is the effect isn't linear. For instance, if you imagine a normal curve (bell shaped) of storm by strength, let's say the 1% tail on the right side is extreme storms. But what happens with global warming is that the whole curve shifts to the right. Doesn't take much movement for 5% of storms to become extreme etc. -
Quoted this for truth, absolutely spot on. They are repeatedly incapable of understanding the leagues are structured to segregate teams based on quality, and the quality of teams relates to the quality of tgeir players. Hardly rocket science. What is even more odd considering there experiences of yo yoing around the middle tiers. Getting promoted, going down on 15 points etc. How many times have they said they would beat from the top tier based on us getting a result? ManU, AC Milan, PSG, to name just a few. Even when we schooled them without breaking sweat they just don't get it. Edit: how did MancMag's trials at Barca go btw?

C;assic trainspotting type quote that (slight artistic license taken). So some of these mates are -erm - more on the mature side and still want to do this nonsense? I reckon you should organise transport to do a pub crawl of Wooler. Angel, Black Bull, No 1, the one on the static caravan park next to the ice cream shop with the plastic cow, back up for duck pizza at Milan, and a fight at last orders at the Anchor. 👍

PL, are these mates or are you getting paid to do this? If the former, get new mates. If the latter, we should geta cut and be charging you. Well, the toontastic posse on here advising you that is, not me or Alex. 👍
