I now have 2 Grandchildren as of 25 minutes ago Little chap is OK and in Perth, Australia. My Mrs is there also.

Her name is "Michelle" iirc

The World Cup is going to be interesting By that time it could be all but cancelled.

To be fair in Wolverhampton, it could well have been your clean shoes that set them off.

"A Scuba diving slightly blue Englishman was rescued by a 7 year old boy off the coast today after a seemingly well planned scuba up-skirt operation on a glass bottomed boat went badly wrong for holiday maker in question"

Cant be true surely ? Serving PM and all that. What a disaster PR wise. Whatever she does on that day she will look a word removed. To dull, like walking around a garden centre with her 1940's forger husband, or too flashy, goes up the Thames on a Jet ski lopping the left one out. What a quandary, what to do. I bet she would love a bit of bad news on that day so she can be clear about it on TV and it gives her an excuse why she cant be there in person.

If someone could get rid of her right arm so she is using her shovel like left hand on the little cup(now mouse) I would be happy.

He's always reliving the moment , they were there and then gone....faces pressed against the sun roof as it slowly sank into the dark, black, unforgiving cold quarry water. Just a guess. Is it a nice frame ?

I thought he was world class that day & highlights what a waste it all was in the end. He could have been a legend and for that one game I will always be thankful, I loved it. He ran the game and he was truly outstanding in that game IMO.

You forgot Hogan.

I think the minimum requirement is a "Data Model" of the basic data set you refer to piped straight into a published business intelligence platform that has a live feed into the met's live database with "StabbyMcStabby" algorithms grinding out the results so they can go onto Villa talk. I will send you the White Paper on it. It goes into great detail into how some people are just walking down the street but these people seem to be robbing and stabbing, shooting and looting and they are just are too bad, too bad. One of these days eh ?

True but any wannabe gangster in the whole of London can now look up who is the top boy in postcode X and do something about it if they so wish or insult or brag or whatever. This in turn can be seen by 100's of 1000's of people instantly. A gang from SW would never know who was in the gangs in the NW in reality unless they sent each other letters. Social media has given a few pricks on a corner a world wide stage and they are using it. Want to know a stabby area, have a look on he internet and I am sure you can see it for real nowadays as they don''t take em down. I suspect (Not having a pop, just a guess) the NW8 thing was in reality word of mouth or exaggeration at the very least. What we are seeing now is only the beginning, Social media was just the Fuel on the fire this needed unfortunately. If this summer is super warm in London then get prepared, it's going to get grim. With all the cuts and everyone's eye half on terrorism it could go very wrong.

I think these all have a role but not as big as you would think. IMO social media is the driving force, minor incidents are now on youtube with revenge, embarrassment and reputation all playing a role in creating death and destruction. Every gang is know and address each other via social media, "ÿou do this, we do this" and so on. There is no backing down from confrontation anymore and it is actively searched out in search of the other 2 main driving forces, Assets and Reputation. Assets and Reputation, the more you get of either one you automatically increase the other reciprocally. It's about controlling areas and people and they want as much assets as possible be it cars, mobiles or money. They want as much as possible from wherever as fast as possible. This is a totally different world. So, how and where do they get it. Drugs and just taking things from people. In the 1970's you could wait forever for someone to walk past with €500 + worth of stuff on him, 99% of people now have that in one pocket. They will go after Assets and Reputation down the easiest route possible as they are doing now and protecting what they have. No amount of Police, social workers or anything like that is going to stop this now, Normal kids are now rightly scared in some areas and they will now start tooling themselves up just for protection and thus, even the kids who are not criminals will get caught up in it. IMO it's going to get a lot lot worse. From the gangs point of view they are going to get the Assets and Reputation no matter what you do. Maybe there is no other route that is obvious for them to take to get them (Or they would take that route (Eg education)) "Tough on crime and the causes of crime" and "The war on Drug's", how's that all panning out for the government ? If they decriminalised Cannabis then a lot of the problems would go away but that's just my view (A complete thick solid layer of criminality exists just for this in the UK), how much time and money does chasing that take a year for the Police and the public. Good use of billions a year ? it's working so well :-) , they are not going to win that little battle ever so step back and re-asses.

100% correct. 99% of the violence is to get what you have or to protect what I have & the government makes sure the market is available, the streets set the price. 'gateway drugs' is a real funny term. If 'gateway drugs' is a real thing then why is the whole of Holland not smoking crack or doing Heroine considering weed is freely available to all ? If someone can explain that to me that would be great.

Not many stabbings in Amsterdam in the last decade or so yet you can buy drugs everywhere. They don't understand the problem and will never grasp the solution even if you smashed their face into it. It will end up like Baltimore in the US. It's a bit like Grenfell, if they or their family is not burning or bleeding, they are not that bothered I suspect.

He is just one of those "In plain site" type people. Their "Odd little ways" and little mistakes and mumbles often exist to cover up something. Sadly in the case of Boris, he quite adequately I feel hides the fact from the public at large that he is a thick useless word removed. I think he is the Foreign secretary though which makes it worse I suppose ?

I was expecting the publication to be "Razzle" and not the Beano.

We all got a PM about it, big day planned apparantley.

I have personally served Paul the God at least 10 pints of Guinness.

I just want to win lads., I dont care how at this point in the season.

You never know, the small heath might have a bad day today and they will be right in it again.

Anyone see the programme about the RAF last night, I thought it was brilliant. Lot's of noise from the engines of Spitfires / Hurricanes and Lancaster. I don't know why but they sound amazing and it's also a bit goose-pimply for me for some reason.

I work 200 Metres from the Ajax stadium, I can see it from my office. English have been outside drinking since 9.00am. 10 hours early. Why not stay in the Dam till later as there is nothing to do around here.

Les Sealy + Collymore.

I voted in the Dutch local elections last night. I now have duel citizenship with UK/NL and this was the 1st time I received a Voting card for the local election and the referendum thing on User Data use. Anyway, it might me happy for some reason, and I got a little chocolate egg from them and well.
