Ballsy-ey ‘til end of season

Aye players who’ve failed on massive wages and long contracts are a doddle to offload

US-style capitalism. Another Brexit bonus

The only thing you need to know about Elon Musk is that he’s a cunt

Time and…..? is someone going to tell him?

Whatever turns you on I suppose. The kinky bastards

Well there’s one of you, so I would have to agree

Over a decade, then a bit less. It was ‘funny’ because there were 3 directors. 2 major shareholders and a minor one. One of the former, who was a sound fella, retired after his grandson was diagnosed with autism and the place changed almost overnight. Ironically the big customer was lost because of the minor shareholder. Who is still there of course It all worked out for the best though

Where I used to work I got two weeks paid paternity at the paltry statutory level. Any additional was unpaid. So for eldest then the twins that’s all I took / all I could afford. Then when they temporarily lost a big customer they instantly made about two thirds of the workforce (me included) redundant at the statutory rates again. It’s quite a small company (c. 20 people before that happened). Funny how you find out what people are really like. And one of the directors let slip they had about £5m quid in the company bank account just before I left. Good fucking riddance in the end but it didn’t feel like that at the time. Anyway, sorry to hijack your announcement. Congratulations, mate

@trophyshy I know you don’t get out much, mate. And you probably overdid it with the Best Scotch (we’ve all been there). But maybe keep your head down for a while. Northumbria police have just released this footage of someone they’d like to talk to in connection with an incident at today’s match:

Beale is contracted until June ‘26 iirc. They are such a basket case of a club

That said, the actual polling by constituency suggests an annihilation (although not on that scale). And btw, that’s on the back of boundary changes that were supposed to help the Tories

Aye. I think they’ll have used opinion polls, like you say, for the other 3 nations and then extrapolated the by election result / swing for England as a whole. And, as Renton points out, it even says it’s just for fun

I tend to get out of things like that by refusing to go

If he had a bit more pace he’d be absolutely top drawer

Last place I was in ( although we’re talking about 5-6 years ago) that sold best scotch was the Grey Nag’s Head on Gateshead High Street. Wonderful authentic pub going experience all round tbh

Bob Marley neet on BBC4 the neet

Well they do say it’s the hope that kills you

You ever considered the possibility listening to the radio causes you undue amounts of stress?

Apart from it not showing that, governments pretty much always lose elections. Even in 97 that was the case. Floating voters don’t say to themselves “things are good but the opposition has better policies”. Even the turnout was standard for by-elections. And whilst by-elections are not always great indicators for a general election, we’re well into the final year before another GE. There are literally no positives from a government POV. Also, as you point out, Sunak is just repeating himself at this point

He’s bloody loyal! Ok?

Also funny when you consider the people who made it are actual Sunderland fans
