    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Jewish people may believe they have an enhanced ability/right to call upon divine intervention, but it crashed due to extreme weather. Nothing else. The question could be asked as to why they were flying, but i don't suppose Mossad makes the Iranian government's travel arrangements. Besides...

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    It's essentially Mike Ashley's entire business model, isn't it? (Although, for the avoidance of doubt, he isn't generally involved in their operation before they crash and he buys them for a song out of administration/insolvency, and hasn't done anything illegal)

    Where are you putting the third syllable in "sky blue"? Sky baloo?

    Things that annoy you

    We currently have a 16 year mortgage whose end coincides with my state pension age. We took out a TEN year fix at the beginning. It was a bit over the odds compared to shorter fixes available at the time (3.65%), but we wanted the certainty of being able to afford it in ten years' time just as...

    Eurovision Song Contest

    Croatia was presumably a vote based on the popularity of the song or the act, as they don't require anyone's sympathy. They are probably among the "nice guys" of Europe, who have done no-one any harm in recent years, but i doubt that is enough to encourage a political vote. As for UK getting...

    Eurovision Song Contest

    We also have a handful of users who persistently hijack a significant proportion of perfectly congenial threads (footy-related and not) by politicising them or indulging in personal mud-slinging and general abuse. THEY should be banned!

    Eurovision Song Contest

    Russia have not been allowed to compete since they attacked Ukraine, yet the EBU appear able to justify NOT doing the same in banning Israel. I wouldn't have thought Eurovision would be the natural habitat for gammons' viewing pleasure, but SOMEONE was voting for Israel. It sure wasn't for the...

    Did he actually say "Up the franchise"?? Well, Luca, you can take your franchise and shove it up your Arsenal! What a tit!

    Things that annoy you

    The Heads of the Valleys road (A465) is a disaster zone from start to finish. Even the bit they finished before the EU money dried up has a 50 limit on a perfectly good, virtually empty, two-lane dual carriageway, for some bizarre reason (at least it isn't in the Welsh blanket 20 zone). And the...

    Death List 2024

    Could have sworn as a youngster that he was South African, which confused me how he had played in the Ryder Cup. But you live and learn - Dutch father hence the name, but English through and through. Six Ryder Cups! Died the day before his 76th birthday.

    According to Wikipedia and Companies House (a bit more valid) he is listed as Chairman.

    Concerned now

    I may be missing something, or i may not understand the game (having watched it my entire life), but i do not understand the Sheaf hero-worship. From what I have seen of him (and admittedly that isn't every week) he is a bang-average Championship midfielder who is too lightweight, can't win a...

    Why would he want to go anywhere near any organisation with Gary Hoffman involved???

    NEW SPONSOR

    Cooperative Bank? They are owned by CBS now! I've never really understood why the Jag have never got involved with sponsoring City. They are inextricably linked with Coventry throughout their history. I suppose Land Rover sponsor a lot of the egg-chasing, but i don't think Jaguar have ever...

    It's the favourite one in my collection! ;) Alternate it at matches with the 2Tone one from 19-20, which i think is the cleverest and most poignant design i have ever seen.
