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

I know many here disagree with me, and I get a fair bit of ridicule about how I feel about certain things off the pitch, but when a club sort of shows disdain for its own fans it never ends well.

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

So what exactly do you have against Sugar Puffs?

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.

my tin foil theory was that the responding rate is usually over represented by people that want to respond to polls.

That's called self selection bias and there's nothing remotely tin foil hatty about it being a real and observable phenomena.

doesn't particularly discriminate with their polling data.

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

Quote

a documentary, She's A Punk Rocker UK. This includes interviews with many key figures in the scene, including Gaye Black, bass player with the Adverts, who gave up making music 17 years ago when her band broke up and became a manager in a social services department. "It's taken me 10 years with no funding," Minx says of her film. "I wanted to make a documentary about real punks - to explore what it's like to be a punk and why women became punks."

@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.

An actual 6 pointer but need to remember win or lose it's still only 3 points.

To be fair to them I thought they were a good team when we played them and we were pretty fortunate to come away with the win.

I think a draw wouldn't be the worst result in the world for us.

4-0

I still have a Hick 405 although the glue behind the plastic coating is kind of discoloured.

Children, like your own

Can't see it being a good morning. MrsVM is not going to be happy I kept their existence from her all these years.

this reminds me of the time my (now sadly deceased) friend and me were doing a bar together at an event in a local venue that the pub we worked for at the time had the license for. It was an all female audience for sure. I can't remember the organisation though. Mind you it'd be about 25+ years ago now. We had to provide a free glass of wine on entry and so we set up our table, bowties on and everything and we pre poured a few glasses so that there wouldn't be a hold up for wine being poured unneccessarily. Anyhow we did a row, or about 5/6 glasses of red and then the rest of the table taken up with white (it being the 90's having both kinds of wine was the height of fashion in the Welsh countryside dontcha know) but it wasn't our first rodeo n that. Cue Millie Tant, full on accusing us of sexistly pouring more white than red, and us foolishly protesting it was a purely functional decision etc. Her and her friend took a glass of red after their dressing down of us and they were the only two that left that table once everyone had walked in.
