  1. He’ll have some big announcements with no details lined up
  2. Did they come with bags more buzz?
  3. What actually also put me off is the food was superb last year so I ate about 3x more than I needed to. Had a similar experience on a 12 night med cruise about 15 years ago where I walked loads (there was a stop at a port almost every day) went to the gym every morning plus sometimes in the afternoon and still put on about a stone
  4. Not saying it’s a long term concern but I think Miley perhaps lacks the athleticism Howe wants atm. I.e. in terms of getting around the pitch. I think it’s an aspect of his game that will improve with time. Long term he’s a better fit than Willock for the more possession based midfield we’ve become (when the best 3 are available). I agree with Gloom that it’s a tad unfair to write Willock off.
  5. We’ve won a trophy anyway and we need CL to keep progressing. Europa league would be a decent consolation but it’s not going to help much in terms of the club kicking on. The other thing is it allows another team to progress at our expense
  6. Bad run of form to end what has still been their best season since they won a trophy* and they all fuck off for the lap of appreciation or whatever it’s called. *our last relegation which is essentially the same thing
  7. Gemmill lives there, his cat keeps killing rabbits, I’ll let you work out the rest
  8. I did all inclusive in Turkey last year and I think it definitely helped that only about 10% of the guests were fellow Brits
  9. South Shields is north of Newcastle city centre. Cardiff is further east than Edinburgh. Etc
  10. Yeah, I went a while back and living off the ‘view’ would be my take. Bit naff food and service.
  11. The kind of tragedy here is that I think with the right policies, PR, strategies and a willingness to work together, the Lib Dems could take a lot of the middle England Tory heartland seats in a GE and Labour could defeat Reform. I think the LDs would be up for it with some concessions on voting reform (no pun intended). Not a fucking hope that Labour would do the right thing though. Not least as there’s an aversion to the left wing principles that a lot of their MPs still have. A lack of honesty of things like the EU, a weird desire to repeat the Tory mistakes of moving to the right to beat Farage and Co, trying to have their cake and eat it with Trump and a fucking disastrous PR machine which seems to alienate almost everyone. By trying to please everyone by focus grouping the fuck out of everyone you just look like you’ve got no principles and take no one with you. It’s difficult not to despise Starmer at this point. If someone like me feels like that, what chance have they got?
  12. Well they recognise 11th November (Veteran’s Day). I would think that, a bit like us, VE Day is only recognised when it’s the 70th, 80th anniversary, etc. So I think he’s just playing the ‘the world owes everything to America’ card again.
  13. As the Earth orbits the Sun at a greater speed than the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft travel, it means that there is a period each year, when their distance from the Earth is actually decreasing. Even though the annual mean distance from us increases all the time. There’s a similar thing happens with the average age on here every time Quiff signs up
  14. Aye. Fair point. It’s certainly not a post-Covid thing
  15. Maybe, just maybe, trying to appeal to Reform voters isn’t the way forward for Labour
  16. Aye. I find the national pride lot take the least pride in their nation. Zero respect for anyone else who enters their sphere. I know Renton gets stick for being a grumpy old man but it’s no coincidence you get the sort of behaviour he’s on about in places the charvas can easily access. You can’t even use the metro through the day on a weekday without encountering pissed / whatever charvas just generally being cunts if it’s a warm sunny day.
  17. 3 trophies in 3 seasons with the sides they’ve had in that time would be ridiculous so I fully expect Man Utd to do it.
  18. Not quite. They’d just deport the kids too now irrespective of it going against the constitution
  19. Probably no one at the other end of the phone. Witnessed a smoggie doing this once after I clocked his phone wasn’t even turned on despite him talking at length about how it was better when you had the Ridings in Yorkshire as you knew where you were then. Mind, this was straight after a Hawkwind gig so fuck knows what he was on. Later followed by his mate almost getting mowed down by the only car to drive past in about 5 minutes. He was admonished by phone man who said ‘Davey, man. You know you can’t cross roads’.
  20. They seem very ‘NFC’ as my lass and her colleagues referred to them lot when she still worked at the Freeman Hospital. I.e. ‘normal for Carlisle’
