Renton

Not sure the PR behind Labour's next Campaign posters have a difficult job.

Maybe a year ago I would have argued against this. Sadly not now.

Erm...

Just about to post this, work meeting my arse. A few months later, I couldn't have a wake for my sister. Couldn't even have a relative into the house for a cup of tea. Does he think people are going to forget this?

Funnily enough I was reminded by Fantastic Mr Fox when I read this. Probably because Bunce is one of the farmers in that book.

Nailed it.

My nephew's emigrating to Melbourne on Monday. I'll miss him a lot, but happy for him. Glad at least Australia have opted for a more progressive future at least.

Aye. Fucking track and trace. Called me dozens of times asking for the same information over and over. Ridiculous waste of money, still ongoing as you say. There's simply no competence left in this government to govern, Johnson and Cummings purged all the half decent tories. Johnson has probably destroyed the Union as well as his party. The penny is beginning to drop though and the bullshit isn't working anymore.

Meanwhile, what happened around 2015ish to make us the sick man of Europe again?

Looks like the next tory target is the civil service, not that we didn't know that. Daily Mail has gone fully swivel eyed on the issue, and the ludicrous attack dog Fabricunt has been unleashed.

What am I looking at here? What's wrong with the face of the guy on the left?

I reckon they will be in the championship for at least 5 years before possibly becoming a champ/prem yo yo club. That's a pretty much best case scenario though. Also it's pretty much much their station since WW2. If we're honest, the third tier isn't their natural position. Provided us four glorious years of hilarity though.

He's a Burnley target I think. So if Burnley stay up, he may be gone anyway. The clowns on radio Newcastle are waxing lyrical about him delivering Sunderland to the promised land. The championship is the promised land now? But as has been said, they lost their position in the league with him and the automatic promotion teams ran away with it.

It's hard not to be jealous marra.

Ah well, they weren't going to stay down there forever. Massive step up in the championship. Think of the 3 that went up last year, 1 went down and the other 2 just scraped it. Meanwhile hopefully we are entering another era.

So was Bent when he sent them down there.

Mrs Rents worked as a solicitor in Sunderland for a while. A lot of her clients had never left the city. There were some from Peterlee for whom it was their first time as far away as Sunderland.

What? I work for big Pharma ffs! And you're the one who thought you were an oracle.

FFS @Gemmill's at it again!

Irony.

Think so, that thread was rhe most mackem thing ever. My favourite was the whip round to but the lad a packet of crisps. Wasn't there also one that took a slice of cheese to turn his burger into a cheese burger?

Honestly, its always been my contention that football fans are all fairly similar, never been one to believe in exceptionalism or generalise from the behaviour of individuals. But that Trafalgar square thread is something else. It's utterly bizarre to say the least, with the strangest thing being these mutants are still convinced they are some classy outfit whom everybody loves. Never seen us behave like this, or anybody else bar possibly Rangers. But Rangers aren't deluded enough to think they're liked.

The king of tramps has arrived!
