fuck me gently

exactly what I was about to post

The new normal

World leaders

End of the week

Your blood pressure must be through the roof

Seems like a lot journalists are trying to make it into a bombshell because that’s a better story rather because of the facts. Guaranteed at least half of them either haven’t read it or don’t understand it.

666 is the squad number reserved for the returning Adam Johnson apparently

The Guardian were so quick off the mark it makes me think it’s click bait on their part. I don’t think they’ll be immediate approval of the deal though as the PL will want their lawyers to take a look at it before approving it. I think it goes through because the lack of a concrete link would almost certainly lead to the sort of legal process the PL can do without before you even get started on the diplomatic fallout.

End of the day

Fully consistent with his pre-lockdown self tbh. A combination of childishness and shit journalism

That’s pretty much their default

CT will have hoped no one else caught it then posted whatever he thought would wind the most people up. That said, it would be typical if this was his ‘even a stopped clock....’ moment

That’s the point though. They’ve decided to at least appear to consider the report so once that was the case the timescale was set.

Yeah, it’s definitely not a straightforward takeover. Likewise they could’ve blocked it weeks ago

I think he’s right in that it appears to be what they’re waiting for. Although how you could determine one way or the other what the decision would be, based on the interview CT mentions, is beyond me. The bloke literally said he couldn’t comment on the outcome of it

Hopefully

Very helpful

You and Gemmill both by the sounds of it

Aberlour 10 is £25 on Prime at the minute. Fantastic drop and especially at that price and very much in the easy drinking mould like the ones mentioned previously.

Find out if he likes peated or unpeated. Also how much do you want to spend?

If you lived a bit closer I would drop some off

Bit harsh like

And rum

I think I’m handling it quite well because of x, y and z but then I remember in reality it’s because of things beyond my control. Whether that be my being able to work from home, my lass working for the nhs, which despite the inherent stress associated with that means guaranteed income or one of my best mates randomly delivering weed he’s grown at home when I least expect it.
