You just know that with 5 minutes research someone will be able to trace the origins of the Chelsea bun to Armenian immigrants fleeing 14th century persecution somewhere run by a tory.

It’s in the link you provided

WR307 & WR349

Ok.  I have read them.  They are not as bonkers as you made them out to be.  Also followed by WR350 which further clarifies parental leave policies not limited to just mothers.  I am not sticking up for the greens here but you provided some nice bits of misinformation there

No, they’re the Greens. Some of their policy document, in fact most of it, reminded me of the set of insane policies you’d see enacted in student unions in the 80s. Well meaning but batshit crazy

Just a couple of examples… (and I’ve read nowhere near all of it.)

Mothers will be allowed time off EVERY hour fully paid to attend to their children. Now ignoring the blatant sexism (as there are plenty of kids with a male as the primary care giver) I just wonder how that will work for say a female train driver or bus driver (and plenty of other jobs)

Workers should have a written contract within three months of starting work for a company and that contract will state how much time the company has to give before they can change the contract. What??? That’s miles WORSE than current employment law

They just don’t seem anchored in reality

Please point me to the particular sections that state this please.  I would like to investigate further

King of the Kerb, indie disco classic. The rest is pretty forgettable but at least whateverhername is could actually sing which puts them several rungs above the two  

I actually really like their 'everyones got one' album.  Father ruler king computer, give her a gun, insominiac.  They remind me of good times at uni and sneaking into the octagon in Sheffield to get Sonia's autograph.  I disturbed their meal.  Whoops.  It's strange I saw this post as my best friend at uni passed away on the weekend and I've been recalling memories with him.  This being one of them.

Harsh on Neanderthals.  

Some lovely play by Barkley in the build up to that goal

Crikey, they do love him a bit don't they? How many losses in a row would stop the Big Ange love-in I wonder.

Apparently 15, according to someone on that YouTube .  FIFTEEN

My dad was in one of the pubs.  18 at the time.  Luckily in the opposite end to the blast.  He got a beating off my Grandad when he got home.  Charming eh.  He is not a lucky person, or very lucky...

He was also one of the firefighters at the kings cross fire.  He still wakes up in sweats.  

I prefer Tony Angelinos rendition.  Cwy more

swap deal with Smith Rowe 'reported' 

In other words Arsenal dont want that sicknote anymore

It's all very annoying but we all need to remember that we have not engaged in any manager/players/staff outgoing transactions that have not been advantageous to Villa since NSWE rocked up.  I include the Grealish sale here.  Villa are no longer a feeder club for the so called big 6/7/8, whatever it is nowadays.

Self made billionaires.  Haha.  Just No.

If they knew about the impending punishment before the transfer and didn't tell Newcastle, they've defrauded us. Tonali with an 18 month ban is worth a lot less than Tonali without.

The Milans share a stadium, not inside knowledge of the other teams players

On the "morality" level I never saw a problem in someone betting they will win in a particular game. 

But cards, losses, etc, it's getting veeeeery dodgy.

 

 

What if the team you are playing for is 3 nil down?  What happens to their effort and mindset?

Wtf.  Calling your manager?  Maybe you should go to the media to stop any further corrupt behaviour towards yourself and your family/work/friends.  If they think they can get away with this then they will continue.  They need to be publicly shamed to correct their course.

What ruins a burger?

My complete inability to manage to eat the bloody top and bottom bun at the same ratio - I always end up with more bun at the top than the bottom, so my hands end up a greasy mess.

And mayonnaise. Absolutely vomit-inducingly disgusting

I had this same problem.  It was then kindly pointed out to me what the purpose of that cocktail stick you find in a lot of burgers is for.  Keeps it all together and stops the slippy sliding. If there's no cocktail stick in my burger I get rather annoyed now.

I think simply it wasn't a clear and obvious error by the ref

Gross.  This will please my girlfriend for sure.  She is the SENCO at the school she teaches at.  They struggle immensely already

I don't understand how a RW gun toting pro lifer squares this.  Don't worry brain, you can push through this glitch.  Re write some shit in your head and off you go.

They are only doubling 1p each day, not the previous days total. For that reason I’ll take the million.

Sneaky

I’d take the £1m too, 1p doubled is only 2p so only 62p after a month. 

Erm.  Think your maths is wrong.  It's around 10 million pounds after 31 days

New commercial deals should be independent from the ownership, and if they're not they must be assessed to make sure they're fair market value. (So our owners couldn't sponsor our training ground for millions, like Everton's did theirs.)

Transfers between clubs who have some kind of linked ownership must be assessed to make sure the fees are fair market value. (so no Watford/Udinese or Man City/NYCFC shenanigans for us and the state owned Saudi league clubs)

One member of staff in the technical area at any one time. (brought in to stop Tindall doing what plenty of Assistant Managers have done in the past.)

 

Don't really have a problem with any of them, but they're 100% been brought in because the PL need to close off any shortcuts our ownership could have used.

I think to claim these are brought in to slow down Newcastle has a whiff of victimhood.  The first two have been identified as activities already performed by others and clamped down on.  The last one - are you serious?
