  1. The latest points sanction seems to have been designed to totally gut the Toffee men, and that is exactly how they look. Can't get a break from the referee either, with every 50-50 going Chelsea's way.
  2. Anyone wishing to learn about engine rebuilding, Grace Engine Developments is well worth a look.
  3. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, the word woke has been "repurposed as a pejorative synonym for liberal or left-leaning". There seems to be a difference between Woke and Critical Race Theory. So choosing margarine on ecological grounds and not butter, to put on your scone, probably counts as woke and the claim that white people oppress all other races, and that "equity" is the solution, would probably come under the heading of CRT.
  4. I recognised Goggins immediately, so you just know its going to be good. It goes without saying that its visually stunning. So definitely recommended by Vault Boy!
  5. I've never played the game but I always loved the aesthetic. Is Goggins actually in it?
  6. On the subject of sheds and planning-permission, aren't back gardens now classified as brownfield sites?
  7. Presumably your chest hair needed untangling again?
  8. Anyone interested in things Mercedes, might like SPR Autos Mercedes Benz. Some hot workshop action to be enjoyed!
  9. Recent performances have left me with a dose of PTSD!
  10. After reading Harald Jähner's Aftermath recently, I find I have a totally different view of Germany's "economic miracle" and the extent of their sense of guilt about the war. I had failed to fully grasp the significance of the introduction of the Deutsche Mark, which eradicated 90% of both Government and private debt. The way the new currency was allocated substantially reduced economic inequality, which made for a very stable society. This contrasted starkly with British war debts, mostly owed to the Americans. The fact that the population of Germany was bigger by the end of the war than at the beginning seemed like a further advantage. As was to be expected, the fact that so few of those who perpetrated Nazi war crimes were punished, is inevitably depressing.
  11. My feelings exactly. Having been blown away by the sheer quality of this week's CL fixtures, Villa's shortcomings seem glaring.
  12. It's my belief that Everton's present troubles stem from their CL qualification - agree or disagree?
  13. Every slogan invites a donation. The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation raised $90m.
  14. A quote from the opening page of the Manifesto of the Communist Party: "The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones." Would a supporter of 'Black Lives Matter' disagree with the sentiments expressed above? I don't believe they would, they might want to substitute race and gender for class, but their view of the power relations in modern societies wouldn't be very different.
