What's the difference between a kangaroo and a kangaroot? One is a large Australian animal and one is a Geordie stuck in a lift.

I had the blood test done last month and came back fine. Was able to get it done for about £40 as I went for the collect the blood yourself at home option (finger prick then drops into a test tube and post it off). From what I was advised, I don't think it's quite as reliable as the standard test but it's definitely less of a pain in the bum.

Pep has been there long enough and is integral enough to them that there is a chance it'll be like when Fergie or Wenger left and they might struggle for a bit. With their resources I suspect they'd be back sooner than later though.

He doesn't think anything, he's an idiot.

My Argyle supporting family would disagree.

Plymouth Argyle travel to Stoke on Saturday for a relegation 6 pointer. Added spice to the match as Argyle's boss left them for Stoke just before Christmas.

Public transport in the UK.

There is an important exception to this. Spending more on the expensive brand can be worth it if that brand will last longer or be more effective than the cheaper one would. If a £50 pair of shoes will last one year before falling apart, but a £100 pair of shoes will last 3 years then in the long run it's better to get a more expensive brand. Difficult one to quantify when purchasing but important to consider.

Done Lisbon with work before and would strongly recommend the food hall/market in the city centre (can't think of it's proper name) as all of the food stalls in their are excellent. Make sure you get some of the local custard pastries.

Football Manager wondered (FM22 I think?). Was brilliant on it for me.

Stolen from Reddit so no direct link.

With Merse being the 'Villa pundit' there too as he's got 100+ caps for us.

They already have a comparable turnover to several Championship clubs. That will only rise in the next few years with larger sponsorships and documentaries etc.

For the last 2 year's I've been helping to coach my son's rugby team. However, as he's an August birthday and small for his age he dropped down a level this year. So did another 3 kid's and speaking to their parents they all hated playing that age group for one reason or another but loved the younger one. There has been an announcement tonight that from next season, the kid's need to play their age groups. I'm fairly sure that all of them are now going to quit playing. Which is a massive shame as the club and sport are rapidly losing players. All because of stupid bureaucracy. I wish we followed nations like NZ and let kid's play in weight/size groups and not age (if my son was 1 week younger he'd be fine to stay where he was).

Whenever we tell our 6 year old that we'll do something in a minute, he now puts a timer on Alexa.

Didn't make it to tomorrow.

His aunt's looking after him tomorrow so that's absolutely fine by me. The 'for England ' bit has also given me a horrific mental image of this being an Olympic sport.

He's just gone up for cooked food. I asked how many sausages he wants and he replied "just 3 please". Feel I should stress that we don't normally let him eat like this.

Have taken my 6 year old son down to Devon for a few days and were staying in a hotel. Popped to the Brewers Fayre next door for their unlimited breakfast (quality ain't great but never mind). The staff are now giving us looks as we've been here an hour and he's taking a break to do some colouring before getting more food. So far he's had a slice of toast, a bowl of special K, a bowl of coco pops, a crumpet, a croissant, a pan au chocolate, a pancake and a bowl of fruit/yoghurt. He says he's building up to the cooked breakfast. No idea where he puts it all. Thoroughly abusing the kids eat free policy.

I honestly find the Championship a much more interesting league than the Premier League. So much more going on.

Argyle picking up another point thanks to an Uncle Albert own goal. 4 from 6 since sacking Foster. Putting more pressure on Birmingham.

Fair assessment. My wife bought me the book for Christmas, not sure I'm up for reading it though as doubt it will have the same levels of charm. One of my favourite ever bits of TV is where in response to someone (possibly Tripitaka) being incredibly sad, Monkey convinces Pigsy to cheer them up by doing his little dance. Pigsy starts dancing like an idiot, everyone stares at him like an idiot and Monkey falls over laughing. Wish I could find that clip.

To be fair to him, he joined in 2016, so that's only £75m on defenders each season.

The fact that they've spent nearly £2b on transfers since he came in (when they already had a top tier and expensive squad), has probably helped him establish them as the top team in the UK.
