    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    No it isn't. Individual judges can be nominated for the post by a president only when a vacancy becomes available (which is not very often) but then have to be approved by the senate. It's entirely possible for a president to serve a full term with a totally hostile supreme court.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Broadly yes. It's irrelevant anyway since such matters aren't decided by the President.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I'm not a Trump supporter, I'd rather he stepped down in favour of DeSantis.

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    It's basically a spaghetti western set in wartime Finland, even the music is reminiscent of a spaghetti western. It certainly has its moments though. (y)

    Things that annoy you

    It's because certain groups in this country detest Erdogan and his domestic policies.

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    Don't blame anyone. Luton are clearly the better side and deserve promotion. These 'play-offs' are a farce and designed purely to milk fans for every last penny.

    Of Mice and Men

    It's not on the reading list in England (wonder why?) so why should it be on the reading list in Northern Ireland? (and Wales). Are they saying the feelings of a racial minority in Ireland (or Wales) don't matter but those in England do?

    The Nationwide £100

    Three-quarters of existing members will get nothing... https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/nationwide-payment-who-gets-them/ I bet the directors award themselves record bonuses though?

    The Nationwide £100

    I know but there will now be a flood of new accounts opened in the hope of cashing in on future payments.

    The Nationwide £100

    This looks to me like nothing more than a bribe to persuade non-members to move their current a/c and savings or mortgage a/c to Nationwide. In my opinion all existing paid-up members should benefit from any profit made by a society. By the way I'm not a member myself although I do hold their...

    The Coventry Wembley Logistics thread

    Wonder if my youngest daughter will be getting her sky blue vevuzela out of storage.* The Wembley ground staff must be sick of the sight of her by now, she's been there so often? I'd post a clip of her blowing the damn thing but she's blocked me on Facebook.
