  1. Not that aware of what Wagner do and control in Africa apart from bits I've read here, but I can imagine any efforts to affect operations in Africa could destabilise some countries as there will be factions that will see an opportunity for power and money. Its almost better short term at least that it is business as usual, whoever is running the show.
  2. Yeah that's pretty crazy. Yes if he performs in the Premier league, any doubts about his limitations will have been disregarded. Real Madrid aren't waiting for that though. If they wanted him the would have got him. If they want him in a years time, we're talking very big money. Even if he exceeds expectations I very much doubt he'd leave in 12 months.
  3. I also absolutely hate sparkling water, whether that's flavoured or even with squash or something like that. I don't mind the San Pellegrino fruit drinks, but they taste more like regular fizzy soft drinks rather than flavoured sparkling water. I've never looked at the sugar content of those but I imagine that's got something to do with it.
  4. Amazingly I didn't get told off for it but I threw a cap bomb, one school morning. Unravelled a roll of caps, fold the narrow strip in half, then wrap it around a 2p. I hadn't actually done it before so didn't know what to expect. A big bang, flash and a load of smoke just as a teacher was driving in to park
  5. My Mrs searched for Kids trainers on the Shein website and got a bit of a surprise as she scrolled down the various 'kids trainers' https://www.shein.co.uk/ Probably need to search for yourself, not sure if I can show the results on here * They seem to have fixed the search. It had various sex toys, vaginas etc
  6. Went to the beer shop in Jinney Ring today as wanted to get a bottle of Bathams for my Dad for father's day. Bought him a bottle of Purity Longhorn too. Got myself a couple also. The first craft beers other than the limited selection my Morrisons has that I've bought in a while. First was Which stood out as I've lived in Bath and Portsmouth. 2nd which ive just opened was
  7. Coffee shops are a bit of a minefield on what you get. Potentially the latte might be 1 shot but the flat white 2. Similarly some places do 2 shots on everything unless requested so a large your just paying extra for little milk/water for a weaker coffee.
  8. That's very possible. However I've just been on a Twitter thread with a lot of them thinking though could get Phillips on loan I thought some of their talk regarding Tielemans was a bit deluded but some of them and probably the club itself let the league and Cup win go to their heads and think they are so much bigger and better than they are. It's half the reason they've gone down.
  9. Interesting to see what is ahead for Brentford (and Brighton) they now have the pressure of instant progression and competing with the big boys. Fascinating to know if their systems work with these pressures when recruiting players and spending more. Many teams have tried and failed after getting up towards the top of the table. Leicester the most recent rise and fall. Hard to crack and stay, easy to mess up. We have often had that pressure due to the size of the club, and to be fair we've not necessarily been great at it.
  10. When trying to remember his name, I did search for Orville Harris to check I was right. I felt pretty stupid when I realised what i did.
  11. Only just seen this. Obviously he has that Man City connection, although that didn't end well. However he's one of those names you always see regarding takeovers and personally I wouldn't trust him one bit, not that it's any worry for me. I seem to remember rumours of him being on Xia's new board here. Not sure if there was any truth in it but it was definitely reported, although didn't happen. A bit like anything Keith Harris is involved in, they are just after the money.
  12. I've made plenty of mistakes in my life but never something as bad as marrying one of them.
  13. This was about half 5 I think. They had just queued in tesco for a good while for the toilet. I should have just dropped and ran then, but Mrs doesn't like big crowds and not knowing where she's going so thought I'd walk them to the gate.
  14. I took the wife and eldest to Villa Park for Pink. Queues to get in were mental. They are in Trinity, North end side. I thought I'd walk them through the main car park. That was no access, then steps up past Holte were no access, finally got all the way round and realised the queue went all the way back to the Holte hotel I left them to it at that point. It probably said in the information but of course I just said I know where you need to go Hopefully picking them up is a bit smoother.
  15. Despite his performance at Villa, he still wouldn't have got one more crack at management in this country. Going by how out of his depth he was here it would be his last though. So if he is to take one more job, he may as well get a (presumably) very well paid one. A little bit of success over there and he may even get another crack somewhere over here, before being found out again. He may well have learnt some lessons but I get a feeling he won't put that effort in to correct his wrongs.
  16. Too late for my last DD on the 28th May but it was suggested I lower it from £210 to £201. They've already suggested I lower it again to £166.
  17. I'm hoping that the buzz round the fans, players and club as the season comes to an end will give us that extra confidence when next season commences. You quite often see it carry on at least to start with. It happened to us after our first season and the survival push and an extreme example being Leicester who had that good run to get out of trouble and actually managed to maintain it to the end. Obviously winning the league might be a bit of a reach but if we can start well who knows what we could achieve. Thinking optimistically having more teams trying to challenge for the top 4/top 7 could actually be a benefit rather than a hinderance. Than if it was just us trying to break into the Sky6.
  18. Does seem a bit of substance to this and reminds me of Kamara last year, rather than Rashica. Will just have to wait and see. Agents are hardly the most honourable people but if the owners have been developing more of a relationship with Mendes and he's looking to make some money from us, you wouldn't have thought it's misinformation from him. Whether he ends up at Villa is another matter though.
  19. The butter wouldn't melt look of my dog above has been channelling her inner cat and caught a bird in the back garden as I'm getting ready to go to the game. I wasnt expecting to have to euthanise a bird today She caught a mouse last year too.
  20. My mom had the same happen last week. Thankfully she was wary of it. I received a recruitment company WhatsApp the other day, saying they were from Man power. Plenty of things pointed to a scam including her name being Rubby.
  21. They occasionally appear on those nostalgia TV programmes, top 100 kids TV etc. I used to enjoy them as a kid. Like you say I think they could have transitioned come the end of Going Live. I did have a signed picture of theirs from when I played Nip the squid with Sarah Greene on Going Live and got signed photos of them, Sarah Greene, Schofield, Trevor & Simon and Gordon the gopher .
  22. Weird how you're brain works (that pessimism in you) I've gone from thinking a draw isn't the end of the world today to thinking we need to win to shut that Brentford door.
  23. Not for a while though, as I developed alopecia 3 1/2 years after that. So now just a baldy. Some would say life has thrown me a bad hand
  24. Just to take the limelight off @El Zenand his ginger hair. We were watching Pointless and my daughter said i should go on because I was getting pointless answers. I told her i'd been on a gameshow before (I didn't actually get to speak) Here's a grainy picture of me at No39 in 2001. With what we know about him now I'm disappointed he didn't try it on with me Although I was still probably a bit old even then.
