The skirt - I can roll with.

The bag - meh, bit chavvy for my taste

The centre parting - GTFO!!!!

I’ve never been sold on the large parts of Moby Dick that describe, in great detail, different types of whale. 
As for things I wonder… were Ishmael and Queequeg banging or just good friends?

Scottish has flat sausages / white pudding / haggis

Welsh has Glamorgan Sausages

Irish has Soda Bread

WTF?! What kind shame are you bestowing on your Welsh heritage here? A Welsh breakfast is defined by the cockles and laverbread...not a vegetarian sausage!!!!!

Is there any way to watch this legally in the UK?

If not, are there likely to be streams? I remember struggling to find anything in the CC last year.

As far as I know the answer to the first question is no.

As for the second, as the game is being shown live in several other countries...almost certainly yes.

The only way I can think that they’d let you off the fine is if you can demonstrate that HMRC were aware of her current address whilst they were still sending letters to the old address. Has she had any dealings with them at her new address; self assessment, pension credits…that sort of thing? 

Quickest way to stop her worry… get your hand in your pocket and pay it off for her!

Of course the UK only has widespread state sponsored “marginal gains” 

Levy’s web of horsesh*t finally beginning to unravel. He’s already scaring off the top managerial talent in Europe and his treatment of Kane in this saga will surely mean that playing talent won’t be queuing up to join too quickly either…but hey…at least he’s got some NFL games booked.

I’ve never really thought about it before looking at this map...but I guess the Midwest is really more of a Mideast!

It must have been discussed before but Northampton being named so always makes me curious. I understand the entomology of it, north of a home town, or meaning to that extent.

What I find curious is why that was the most northernly location where that happened. Southampton, fair enough that is pretty southern. But why didn’t somewhere more northern get called Northampton. Or, if it’s naming was relative to a large settlement, let’s say London, why didn’t somewhere like Kettering or Peterborough get named “Northampton”?

I’m purely speculating but I would guess there was a time when all the Hamptons were just called Hampton. Then the differentiator was added later.

’”Which Hampton are you talking about?”

”The Hampton up north”

“Oh yeah North-Hampton”

...type thing.

Human rights and racial equality, is not Politics, it’s Human rights and racial equality. The guys a moron.

I’m sorry, there are a probably a million reasons to get behind the cause but pretending that it isn’t politics is not one of them. People should accept that it is hugely political and back it anyway. Sure we hope that the topic is above party politics, but to say that human rights and racial equality is beyond the scope of politics is potentially dangerous, grossly inaccurate and is a huge disservice to some of the greatest politicians and statesmen that the world has ever known.

It  a bit harsh on the player. How far do you go back? It seems very Orwellian. 

Well rumour has it that Jimmy Anderson is facing a 3 game ban after it has emerged that he wilfully squashed several money spiders AND incinerated a fly with his magnifying glass back in 1986. Statement with full apology due shortly! 

Is 'tutting' in disappointment/frustration/anger peculiar to English speakers or does everybody do it?

I dunno, I just think anyone who looks at the last few years and thinks "yeah I'll have some of that", is an utter **** word removed of a human tbf. From whitewishing reports and inaction on grenfell, the nonsense race report, incompetence leading to the needless deaths of thousands during the pandemic, to the contemptible shitshow around brexit - though granted thats what those **** bellends want to be all jingoistic getting the **** royal navy having a pissing contest with the french...

the serial lies from the serial liar, the hypocrisies and the gutting of public services... 

 

yeah anyone wanting more of that is **** less than vermin

You got the job!

For the next GE I see the slogan "Vermin ****, Vote for us this time" being a winner.
