Supplied the bombs and made sure the UN and ICC responses were denigrated and minimised. They may not have wanted in but have done the square root of fuck all to minimise or end it. Putin bombs a school andl he's a despicable war criminal who should see justice. Netanyahu does it and "it's complicated". Give me sixth form any day.

Has "don't speak ill of the dead" now become "don't speak ill of the retiring"? Biden may have done a good job domestically but he is a genocide enabler.

I know what a 70s Bush was but what were 70s Clintons or Bidens?

56 short of a maximum.

That was my take. It would be unfortunate if the England job provides an easy way out.

I don't mind him expressing anger at the Anderson sale but he seemed to be blaming the club rather than the rules.

It was his second big show set in a hotel - Newhart - itv used to show it late at night. In the final episode he woke up next to his wife from the first show implying it was all a dream - brilliantly copied in that Brian Cranston Breaking Bad/Malcolm in the middle spoof short.

See also: Martin "I followed Sunlun as a boy" O'Neill. Steve "I'm coming home" Bruce. Dick "Lovely flowers you sent the wife lads" Avocaat. Paulo "FTM" Di Canio. Etc. Etc.

One of them challenges the rest of them as to what they would mention as "attractions" to encourage visits and one seriodly mentions a "sports ground filled with 40k people 23 times a year as well as concerts". Fuck me.

He still shook hands with Netanyahu. Fuck context.

He's spot on on this. If Lammy had met Putin or the leader of Hamas there'd be hell on. Netanyahu is no different. Except Britain doesn't arm Putin or Hamas.

I remember a teacher of mine who I otherwise respected saying that he'd stopped praying for Sunderland to score because he'd realised there could be a fan of the other team praying for their team as well - not because the whole concept was batshit crazy.

Also, the only chance of seeing Gordon is at the 80 minute mark if they're losing.

Doesn't she have the gene marker for Huntingdon"s? If it was me I'd take the cash and fuck off somewhere tropical to enjoy life while she can.

Unless someone white makes the final two.

It wasn't bad but I didn't like "moderate stability" and a suggestion he'd reduce the role of government in people's lives. Those are okay if you're doing fine but I think there are large problems in this country that need addressing with immoderate interventionist action - namely housing, poverty and inequality - they won't get better "organically" no matter how many percentage points they add to GDP.

There was a lot of talk from Brighton that we'd got the wrong man as Ashworth was the next level up from the people who found all the players for them.

Saw something which suggested Starmer had chased marginal swing voters while not being too bothered by losing core voters which I think is true and a large part of the story combined with the collapse of the tories and reform actually standing. Imy concern as I've said before is that he'll have to try and keep those voters on board which will mean more immigration talk and other bollocks because he isn't going to do anything to boost the so called core vote. I'd also point out that the tory + reform votes actually exceeded labour's total so they'll need to rely on a split vote continuing going forward.

Anti-vermin vote cast.

I got a "personalised" letter from the sitting cunt claiming credit for the new train station which was first proposed in 98 and asking me to remember what a nightmare life was under new labour. As you know I'm not NL's biggest fan but nightmare is a bit strong

Chelmsford for me - never been anything but tory or some weird variation thereof. Polls say Lib Dem gain which I'll be contributing to later.

Thanks. I went ahead and got a message from the hotel confirming it so all looks good.

That Chelsea hotel shit needs investigating.

Anyone used Agoda? I booked a hotel 5 years ago through Expedia and it turned out they'd used Thomas Cook as an agent so when I turned up at the hotel I was told the booking had been cancelled. To be fair to Expedia one phone call later and they'd booked me into the same hotel and given me £150 for the hassle so the only black mark was not telling me before hand. Anyway since then I've always booked with hotels directly but I have a problem with one this year where their system keeps rejecting my card - it's not getting to my bank so the problem is at their end. I rang them yesterday and they promised me a call back which hasn't happened. Expedia don't have the room I want available but Agoda do so hence the question - are they sound?

Two defenders incoming to make sure of pens.
