  1. There's a true crime doc on Netflix about him, three parter. It's pretty good. Made with a lot of the people that he gave time to whilst on death row. A lot of tapes are played of his interviews. Much better than the awful "shockingly evil...." movie with Zach Efron.
  2. In bed most nights by 2200 but because I can't quiet my mind I'm awake for around 2-3 hours. I'll watch TV in bed next to my snoring wife until I finally doze off. I've struggled with switching off since I was a teenager. Up between 0530 and 0615 depending on what time my youngest gets up. Will have one or two days a month where I physically can't go on and I'll pass out at 2000, until 0700 the next day. Then always feel like crap the whole day through.
  3. Antonio Inoki, 79. Truly a pro wrestling legend, iconic in every sense of the word in that industry. Also fought Muhammad Ali.
  4. That's awful. I genuinely had no idea. I've just read he struggled with mental health issues. I wish anyone who is struggling so badly could get access to the help they need before taking similar horrific actions.
  5. I may be wrong on this, but in it's simplest terms wages have not grown at the same rate as the house prices increased. A lot of people would struggle to get on the ladder if all they could get was a mortgage of three times their salary.
  6. As many suspected, she's been cleared. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-shropshire-63063137 This is a dreadful outcome. I doubt this would have been the same verdict if the roles were reversed.
  7. My son's switch had this. Sent it back to Nintendo for a repair. Came back as good as new. Edit - All we needed was proof of purchase for Nintendo to complete the fix.
  8. Rupa Huq has covered herself in glory. After what's been a positive few days for Labour it's all going to be overshadowed by the stupid comments she's been overheard saying about Kwasi Kwarteng. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/rupa-huq-jake-berry-keir-starmer-kwasi-kwarteng-labour-b1028459.html The Tory friends in the media are going to be all over this now, and it's such a shame.
  9. Incredible for the time it came out. First game I remember with real fluid character motion. Awesome setting and interaction too.
  10. That was 98 if I remember rightly. I've still got memories of Nii Lamptey and Joey Beachamp knocking them in all summer.
  11. In terms of hours spent, it has to be... Ocarina of Time (N64) Flashback (Amiga) Champ Man 93-94 (Amiga) Medieval Total War (PC) Wings (Amiga) Skyrim (Xbox multiple versions) Batman Arkham City (Xbox 360) Breath of the Wild (Switch) AC Odyssey (Xbox One/Series X) Fable (Xbox Original)
  12. On this occasion, I don't feel too sorry for Edwards. By all accounts his split from Forest Green was fairly acrimonious. Apparently held talks with Watford before permission was given.
  13. You know it's bad when even the Daily Mail are calling it a "schizophrenic" budget. If they're saying that think how bad it really is.
  14. At the start of last year I paid for a test to check my antibody levels, and because it was low a few weeks after having the jab my GP gave me another booster. The test results went on to my medical record so the GP was happy to do it. I'm having my booster next week and will get an antibody test in December.
  15. There's a really simple rule that could be implemented that would allow a level playing field and also reduce risk against the clubs. Stop letting owners leverage debts against the clubs. If an owner or owners want to have a crack at challenging the Sky 6 and Europe, then let them spend their own money when the club reaches the limits of what they can realistically spend. The financial risk is purely against the owner and not the club then. If the owner decides they can't afford it any more, they're going to sell as quickly as possible instead of floating around for years like Lerner or Ashley whilst the club remains risk free. By the same token, they could then be allowed higher bonuses should a club achieve success, so long as the club retains a significant percentage to cover running costs. Won't happen though, as the big teams would never allow it. Wouldn't matter who owned the club. Any team could grow quickly to challenge. We'd see more teams fighting over the trophies instead of the usual cartel.
  16. As with the police, I was informed that it's a civil matter. From the website it seems they're more keen to prosecute people who don't pick up their dog's dumps. That's £100 right off the bat.
  17. I've contacted them in the days since and they said dogs only have to be on a lead in playgrounds and specific areas. Not in the fields where we walk our dog. Useless guidelines really.
  18. I often have my dog off lead, but if I see other people around he goes straight back on. I know dogs aren't for everyone. There absolutely must be more accountability on bad dog owners. No such thing as a bad dog, just bad owners. What happened to my dog simply wouldn't have happened if the mastiff was on his lead.
  19. My cocker spaniel was attacked by a mastiff last night, and received two puncture wounds to the face and neck. Thankfully he's ok, after a good few hours in the vets, stitches, and antibiotics, although quite obviously now in shock. My wife and 11 year old lad were with him at the time, and they're both still quite distraught. I called the non emergency police number today to log this incident, however was informed that this is a civil matter and there's nothing they can do as my dog isn't a service dog and mastiffs aren't on the dangerous dogs list. My concern with this is that I genuinely worry that if the dog were to attack again, then the next victim could easily be a child or the next dog may not be so lucky. Obviously I'm quite keen to ensure that the dog is destroyed, and spoke to the owner at length about this (no angry words spoken, just a level headed chat). The owner doesn't know what they'll do. Does anyone know if there's any legal course I can take to make sure the dog is reviewed by an authority so that there is a correct outcome, regardless of what that is? Regarding the attack, my dog was on his lead and the mastiff wasn't. He just bounded up, my dog hid behind my wife, and then the mastiff locked onto his skull. My wife kept my dog as still as she could so thankfully his wounds were not as severe as they could have been.
  20. 19th for expected goals. We really do have a problem at both ends, this is relegation form
  21. Woeful first 10 minutes. Midfield absent as usual. I fear we're going to be embarrassed tonight.
  22. Agreed, he's been very good this season. Seems to be able to bring the ball out of defence too, I'd have liked to have seen him next to Stones. Also would have liked to see Mitchell from Palace in ahead of both Shaw and Chilwell. Shaw because of his form and Chilwell is still playing his way back after his injury. Mitchell needs to be in the squads as both Shaw and Chilwell are injury prone. I guess GS sees Trippier as a better option there though.
  23. No Ben White or Sancho? But GS picks his mates Trent, Maguire, Phillips, and Shaw who are short of form and/or minutes. Jack gets in because of the city factor. I honestly don't understand his thinking. I get that you want players who know your system, but you have to select based on club form or there's no point. Bellingham has to be a starter now, he's the best midfielder we've got. Hope GS starts building around him and Foden in the upcoming games.
