Which would have meant we'd now have 9 men...

We should also add those in emergency council accommodation as well as that tends to be fucking miserable. Again in hindsight I think the council house sell of was Thatcher's biggest crime.

Yeah I knew someone who moved to the US and insisted on keeping 25 days and had to sign a secrecy clause as they get 10 - don't know how it worked in practice. There's been talk at our place of adopting a thing they've trialled in SA where you agree with your manager on how many holidays you have depending on satisfactory work with no supposed limit.

Same. And finished on the 17th.

Worst thing is I can't remember anyone asking the liar what he was going to do about it - and probably even worse nobody would have cared what his answer was - even if he'd said fuck them. There was a "problem" last year with quite a few rough sleepers around Chelmsford train station - the solution was to install railings across any areas which could be used - that solved it.

What a crock of shit - why doesn't he include his goals in training alongside the friendly ones if he's going to be that fucking stupid? He can't hold the ball up, he frequently gets 5 yard passes wrong and disappears for entire games. That's before I mention his "finishing".

A corrupt honours system is part of the country we've always been.

Reminded me of the Pardew hammerings.

Also Friend didn't help - I'd bet the hand off for the third goal would be given most of the time. See also "McTominay's been booked and has just pulled Almiron's shirt - why is that not a second yellow card?" - because he's wearing a Man Utd shirt you stupid cunt.

He was okay for the most part but slipped 3 or 4 times.

Almost?

Fucking Pardew's conned another set of poor cunts into giving him a job I see - Den Haag in the Netherlands.

One word answer to the main question posed - karma - and it's a bitch.

I don't believe in xmas really but I do believe that all men are fundamentally arse men at their core. Other benefits not withstanding. Happy arse day.

The blue number 1 is all that matters.

I really hope she up's her game from last time - for the good of the contest.

I think there's a decent choice developing - I hope they don't become obsessed with the need for it to be a woman.

I've joined up today as well - looks like we could have a TT branch of our own.

I love the idea that a leader has to be "one of our own" and not middle class elite - like Tony Blair?

I read something about a lot of older voters thinking they paid into a system which extends beyond tax and NI - they've stayed patriotic and quiet, saluted the Queen and the flag and now feel they're entitled to keep what they have and more so expect deferential treatment when it comes to health and care - especially over non-Whites. Hence the GP surgeries full of foreigners trope. I think this is an extreme view but one where I see elements being true. These are the people who supposedly reacted most strongly to Corbyn.

Some extremely questionable jocks there.

As I was saying yesterday people are so used to problems with the NHS to a degree they sort of accept it and think it's too costly or too much effort to change. When I try and tell them that waiting lists were all but abolished under Blair they think it's bullshit. (Yes on certain issues they did really well, as I've said I just think they accepted the status quo on things like housing and privatisation as well)

Not reopening the pits but some investment would have been nice. Some social housing. Thing is people have been told for 40 years that we cant afford anything, things we did own have been sold to the rich and I think the generation im a part of and older just don't believe it's possible no matter how well it's costed or how desirable. They's rather believe in fucking Brexit. I don't even think the Labour manifesto was even that socialist - all it aimed to do was to restore a resemblance of balance. That may seem like going backwards but I'd say it was a reset to when the idea of a government working for everybody was abandoned. I'ts very simplistic to say that this defeat means the end of any notion of socialism - by that argument the defeats of 2015 and 2010 show that nobody wants a centrist agenda either.

I don't ignore them but if you were a retired miner who hadn't had a decent job since the pits closed, you may think all those things are minor in comparison to your own lot in life. Even if you'd seen your kids go to university you'd probably have then seen them leave their home towns.

That NL did fuck all for those people either - at least as far as those people are concerned.
