I pissed next to Tommy Wright's dad and brothers at Villa Park once.

Just around the corner from where I used to live - you'll have living on the site of an old mine in common with SAFC now Stevie Congrats on the wedding.

Think he meant Sansa when he still was a guard - it was during a Joffrey walkabout that she was grabbed.

Ah, I'd forgotten he was on Arya's list for killing the butcher's boy. Still surprised he saved Sansa though.

I did think of something that jars slightly with me - they're selling this redemption of the hound quite heavily but has he actually been that much of a cunt compared with the show norm? I know there was the farmer thing referred to in this episode and the whole "kidnapping" of Arya (where overall he treat her well) but there was also the bit where he rescued Sansa from the rapist in S1. I can't remember that much cuntishness overall.

I've waited till it finished so will get around to it but it seems to have been well received from what I've read. I enjoyed the surreal stuff in the old one - especially Bob - so have no qualms about it. As I said above, after watching Legion, I think I can take it.

Enjoyed it overall but a couple of clunky bits. Have to hope for a load of bled out soldiers next week - mostly collateral to ensure one death. I gave up on the books after the second one - I decided I preferred the vision of the show to the novels - probably the only time I've ever thought that.

Martin Landau as well. RIP.

Ticketmaster run a sub-site called get me in where they legally tout their own tickets under the guise of a "fan site". Can't help with the whys and wherefores - he doesn't appeal to me.

Got a Oneplus 5 today. So far so good.

Biggest ever post war proportion of debt to GDP was under Lamont.

Transition period of 50 years?

To be honest, I though Preston were a haf-decent side last year (despite the results against us) and I thought they might be one of the teams that would have prevented the mackems getting near the play-offs. Not saying they would have won it or anything but I could have seen them finishing 7th or 8th and maybe being an obstacle. Having said that I still think he's a cunt so that suits.

Just started that but not sure I can take more fucked up shit just now after watching Legion and Stranger Things recently.

Yep - propagating this idea that anyone with money works hard and anyone without is a lazy skiver. Just like when Cameron accused people on benefits for their presumption of entitlement with no thought for that of him and his ilk.

You could pay MPs 500k a year and a hell of a lot of them would still seek more income. They'd also get around any demand to sell rental properties by shifting them to relatives etc.

I thought of the second series of auf wiedershen pet where Ally Fraser has 3 options for the old folks home and wanted the worst - hate to say it but the shift towards profit before anything else is the root cause. Thanks once again to Thatcher.

I saw a comment that the policy the tories made law pretty much because of the mail whinging about the SNP where only English MPs can vote on English laws means they won't be able to pass any such laws now. A bit of karma at least.

Says leader now gone.

That's why I was contemptuous of this "progressive alliance" stuff - I would never trust the lib dems to not side with the tories again.

I feel a little sorry for him for at least being honest about his faith - of course being that way inclined leads to scrutiny. May has played the vicar's daughter/faith angle as well and has a similarly iffy voting records on gay rights but nobody asks her the same question. Of course the big question they always avoid asking capitalist Christians is the rich man/eye of the needle/you're fucked one.

I think we all agree on here that it's a cluster fuck but the problem is the cost of saying to so many people, however correctly, that they were wrong to vote for it. I think it will be hard for anyone to get any kind of deal that won't cost them in some way - that's why I'm happy for now for the tories to own it.

Rudd needs a new seat before she can be leader.

They'll remember to seed their manifesto with bribes - thing is they can't really increase their share of the old vote.

Survation has Labour at 45% now. I feel a bit like the Democrats with Trump - might suit labour to give them a little while to dig their hole and reap a bigger benefit. Not sure if they'd be helped or hindered by Johnson being leader - I can see some people liking him but he snaps under pressure which will be illustrated nicely if he's centre stage of a GE campaign.
