The twitter/X change thingy that leaves a lot of historical posts on VT unreadable.

If he's doing a Theresa May it'll be the 2nd of May then

Wage slavery innit

Ocasionally the father in law drops bits of food off at ours. Stuff he doesn't really want but bought on a whim or something he's changed his mind about. He's quite faddy with his eating, what he fancied one week he might not fancy the next week, and so occasionally we end up with his 'gifts'. This is how I ended up with something called Brooklea SKYR yoghurt in my fridge. A passion fruit flavoured one and a strawberry flavoured one. We tried them yesterday. It had the consistency of foamy plastic and a taste which I could only try and describe as what I imagine every carcinogenic artificial sweetener mixed up together must taste like. Utter rancid shite. 2 spoons and in the bin. File under 'legally food'

Reminds me of Paul Scholes in the tackle

Great goal. I imagine all the kids will be doing step overs in the playground at break time today

Found Chromeo a few years ago when I was surprised myself that I was loving the electro funkyness and blatant nod to the 80s of their first couple of albums Fancy Footwork and She's in Control. their new album has a few songs that are back on form in that same mould. So that makes a smile form

I think Unai will have spent all week teling them they are the masters of their own destiny here. Enough of our players turn up and put a performance in and we should be celebrating at the end of it all. After the weekend I'll avoid making predictions. UTV

Ollie made the England squad with Ezri

Illegitimi non carborundum

sucks teeth - is this one a bit racist?

Not the game for too much experimenting for me and with no Konsa or Zaniolo due to suspension and Mings, Buendia and Kamara obviously not available, Ramsey struggling for fitness and Chambers not registered, I'd go with.... Martinez Cash Carlos Torres Moreno Iroegbunam Luiz Bailey Tielemans McGinn Watkins Olsen, Gauci, KKH, Lenglet, Digne, Rogers, Kellyman, Bogarde, Duran, Diaby

Not real wheat innit

Been thinking the same Uefa have him listed in our B squad so I'd be surprised if he didn't make the bench for Ajax with Kellyman what with No Konsa/Chambers/Zaniolo

Sorry to go all on topic for a moment but, the use in on topic of the phrase 'bed wetting'.

Being reported that people who've received ashes allege the police have said they found a body with an id tag on of the formerly scattered. Unconfirmed/verified but sounds pretty grim and perhaps a bit more to it than theft.

Don't worry guys when I was driving the other day they said on the radio we were dropping 2p off National Insurance contributions to encourage the jobless back in to work so it's a moot point.

Apart from the license fee of course

Although I should probably rephrase that as the free to air ones that don't require any subscription of any kind

Looks like it's just figures for terrestrial TV i.e the 5 channels you gont need cable/satellite/internet etc for.

That's called self selection bias and there's nothing remotely tin foil hatty about it being a real and observable phenomena. Not sure what this means tbh?

Bit late for International womens day but stumbled across this which chats to a few ladies from the 70s/80s punk scene https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/aug/08/gender.arts

@Jareth, Given that we are aware of the nukes they don't have from the US and the way our secret services are intertwined and how powerless we are as individuals and as collective voting blocks against the wishes, legal or otherwise, of the Industrial Military Complex I'm not sure what response from individuals you are looking for. I think it's pretty obvious over the years that we share the utter horror and disgust at the mistreatment of ANY living creatures, and I for one am utterly horrified at how people not directly involved can do mental gymnastics to normalise or outright justify torture, denigration and so on. And that is true no matter the border or country or religeons involved. Or what the economic benefit may be. It's just the morality, which I'd hope all us posters share in some form, is not a constant and it is not a truism of the human condition. It may be the struggle since the enlightenment and I for one believe it is possible for us humans to overcome our more base desires through thought and reasoning. But I also don't think I'm bearing witness to that period of history. We're evidently not quite there yet. We can't even share the most basic of needs with our fellow humans, like food or water, instead preferring they starve while we dump food because, you know, economic gain. I'd love to live in a moral world and whatever hollywood and disney tell us, we don't. We can, in small ways, affect our own environment. I'd like to think my home is a moral place. I make moral decisions, but it's entirely subjective and it is not my place to inflict that version of morality onto others. Chin up mate, but don't mistake frippery for soulless amorality. As Camus said, life is absurd.

Mahoosive game.
