Actually when it happened I looked at my phone, somehow managed to compute you’d accidentally rang me in nightshift then rolled over and was asleep in less than 30 seconds

When you explained the circumstances I did the right thing and decided to delete the voice mail rather than listening to it first

Aye. And you woke me up in the middle of the night

He’s also predicted to lose his seat at the next GE, as things stand

Hope you’re feeling ok. You’ve managed to dodge it so far haven’t you?

There’s that and sight being one of the five senses

Yeah, they’re ‘improving’ now it’s obvious which way the wind is blowing

We had a very minor data breach at work about two years. Minor on the basis only a very small number of people could’ve seen the data and they were restricted to our own government dept. It was dealt with more seriously, professionally and swiftly than Braverman’s indiscretion. The info involved was obviously of a less important nature but that’s why Braverman should’ve taken it much more seriously. No, it wasn’t my fuck up, before anyone asks

Hoping for another tribute to Nailed Quim tbh

Shelvey probably won’t start as he'll lack match fitness but I don’t think Howe would’ve included him in recent squads if there was an issue around the triggering of the extension. But Joelinton has started wide on the left rather than midfield recently anyway.

Sounds canny to me. Oh, you mean the protest

And created covid so he could put microchips in everyone via the vaccine

Hopefully

We’re certainly in a fucking mess. In no small part thanks to loads of people buying into that pov

Corruption 👍🏻

Can’t get my head around how fucking dense you’d have to be not to see why cutting funding to services for over a decade doesn’t tally with their empty promises about fixing the problems (they’ve caused in that time).

First time I went to the match with my dad (early 80s) the fans sung it but with the way the sound reverberated I couldn’t work out what it was until he told me.

CT will be ok then

What the actual fuck? Queuing to get into a shop that sells something you can buy at a petrol station

What’s with all them American Candy stores? That’s got to be sone sort of money laundering racket

Also, what team has achieved any level of success in recent times without spending a fucking fortune?

What a fucking tool

Haven’t been to the former but Crete is gorgeous, yeah. Absolutely massive and loads to explore. Haven’t been but Rethymnon is meant to be really nice

Just had a lovely weekend in Troutbeck without the kids / dogs. Hope that makes you feel better

Had a week there, albeit about 12 years ago but went last week of the season (in terms of most chartered flights) ie end September/beginning of October. It was quite quiet. Because of where it is you’re still likely to get nice hot and settled weather then. It’s actually pleasant the days being relatively short as well
