The home secretary got what she incited.

Perfect from Cold War Steve.

You mean that as soon as you're asleep they sneak down the hall?

 I wish I did sleep that well that I wouldn't hear them but sadly I don't.

Can't find a better place for this I don't think. What age is it appropriate for your kid to have their girlfriend/boyfriend to stay and let them share a bed? Specifically in this case a lesbian relationship.

It is not my daughter but my partners, I questioned my partner on it and she said "nobody is going to get pregnant", which, whilst accurate is not really the point.

I have two daughters (25 and 17). My eldest had her first serious boyfriend at around 16 and half and they were together for almost 7 years. Before they moved in together when they were around 22 he must have stayed over 200 times but they never slept in the same bed. My youngest has over the last year had her first serious boyfriend and he has been stopping pretty much once a week for the last few months but again they sleep separately. 

I know it will sound like madness to some but it is just not something I was/am comfortable with and in fairness I don't think either of my daughters would be either. I think had I have had lads I would have been completely different but having girls it is hard, although I am obviously not stupid and know what will be going on as much as I have over the years tried to not acknowledge it/accept it

That poll that suggested it might be close did seem a bit strange. 

Dem will be over the moon with this  

You can see today as a missed opportunity or that we lost a tough away game (Forest have lost just 2 of their last 20 at home) and in doing so lost no ground to Arsenal and only find ourselves 1 further point behind Liverpool who had in most peoples eyes a nailed on win against Luton to come. 

If you'd have told me after 11 games (including games against Liverpool, Newcastle, Chelsea, Brighton, West Ham) we'd be sitting 5th 2 points off third, 5 points off top spot, I'd say 99.9% of Villa fans would have bitten your hand off. 

Almost a third of the season gone and we have put a cracking foundation down to build on for the rest of the season. 

I don't think our away form is anything to be overly concerned about.  We have lost at arguably the two toughest away grounds, Newcastle and Liverpool, and today against a side who have lost just two of their last 20 at home. Today was a real freak of a game in fairness as we have dominated other than putting the ball in the net and will play way worse than we did today this season and win. 

Strange game. Martinez has had next to f all to do and we have, other than putting the ball in the net, dominated the game yet lost two nil. Just one of those days that you'll get once in a blue moon. We'll play way worse this season and win.

That's part of our style, no?

True it is but Forest aren't biting in terms of committing men and us being able to break their lines. Now they have 45 mins to hold a lead that is likely to be even more the case. We'll have to quicken things up.

Arguably the worst we have played all season. Loads of possession but way too pedestrian. 

Zaniolo is a passenger again and I'd be looking to bring Bailey on for him at HT and get him to run at the forest back line as at the moment it is way too easy for them. 

What a goal that is. 

Just when you thought that evil bitch Braverman couldn't stoop any lower she now wants to restrict tents for rough sleepers, and make it an offence for charities to supply them, implying that rough sleeping is a lifestyle choice. The Tories have overseen a huge increase in homelessness since 2010 due to their polices and then they come up with this. 

I wonder how this will play with their ever dwindling supporters. The narrative will be around some of those sleeping rough being from abroad when the facts are more of those sleeping rough will be veterans. 

Less than 1k tickets left. This will pretty much be a sell out. 

Anyone know how many AZ are bringing?

Just finished the 2nd series of Time (started on BBC1 tonight but all 3 episodes on iPlayer). It is brilliant and one of the best mini series I have seen in a long time.

If the Police have made the decision to be ruthless you can guarantee they will be OTT in their actions. 

Like others have said he was also before my time but clearly worthy of the three words Aston Villa Legend. I doubt his appearance record for the club will ever be beat. 

RIP Charlie.

In fairness, I don't just want to put this down to " lack of quality ".

After all, Ngannou is a Martial Artist, and combat sport veteran. With an insane amount of power.

I genuinely think , based on what he showed yesterday, he has what it takes to be a proper heavyweight boxer.

He's obviously a very quick learner ( Was coached by Tyson for this ) and has that great equaliser.

And this was just his first fight.

I am not doubting all of that mate and that he clearly has excelllent fighting qualities in a different discipline but he was up against one of the two best heavyweights in the whole world and in his first professional boxing match at the age of 37 he beat him. It is the kind of stuff if it happened in a Rocky film you'd think was a bit far fetched. 

I can't think of another era where this would have happened and it is purely because there is a real lack of quality in the division. Fury, Joshua, Usyk, Wilder would not have got anywhere near the level they have in the 70's/80's/90's and early 2000's. 

What's arguably worse than the actual corruption here is the sad state of heavyweight boxing. 

Ngannou won the fight which means a guy who is a 20 fight mixed martial artist, in his first professional boxing match, at the age of 37, beat the heavyweight boxing champion of the world. It is unreal the lack of quality in the heavyweight division compared to past eras.

If you expect either of those two to be contenders for the next Labour leadership election then it won't be happening any time this side of 2031

And in all likelihood that goes for any candidate.

I actually hadn't realised Starmer is 61. He'll very likely be 62 by the time of the election which would make him the oldest Prime Minister upon appointment since Callaghan in 1976. If he remained Prime Minister until your date of 2031 he'd be the oldest serving Prime Minister since Churchill. 

Bit of useless, irrelevant bollocks for you. In my defence I am on a days leave with f all to do. 

I think given his performance last night Tielemans deserves to start his first Prem game for us on Sunday so I'd give McGinn a well deserved rest in this one.

Other than that Konsa, Pau and Diaby back in so a front three of Watkins, Diaby, Bailey, midfield Kamara, Luiz and Tielemans in an advanced role, and the usual back four. 

I can't see anything but a win in this one but possibly closer than our recent home results would suggest. I'm going 3-0.

I really cannot think of any candidate who will come in next. What is the grand plan from New Labour? 

I'd imagine Wes Streeting will be Labour leader at some point.

Look at those pictures! Nothing quite says welcome to your new family home like the oil stain under the tarmac patch for your little audi you bought on a pcp.

 

 

Not a single tree and hardly a patch of grass/shrubbery etc in sight. It is horrible. 

There is a decent chance Rooney will lose his first 5. They have Southampton away next, who are 5th, then Ipswich at home who are 2nd and then Sunderland away.
