    Selling House Privately

    It is silly, and unfortunately it does show that greed takes over. While the housing sell off was good to allow people to own their own homes, as those homes get sold off they completely disregard the things that made them enjoy living there in the first place - community, long term neighbours...

    Wordle.

    Anyone on here decent at programming? Wondered if any might make a 'Numble', where you have a sum involving 4-5 numbers between 0-9 and you get 6 goes or whatever to work out what the sum is? Basically I thought Rachel Riley might be feeling left out now Susie Dent's got her own game.

    Of course Grendel knows that. It's just that it's someone on his 'side' so he'll defend come what may. I asked him what other reason there might be for them paying to get close to politicians and he came back with nothing, so he knows the reason for it. bBt he can't be seen to be conceding...

    He must be expecting to live to a very old age.

    So why do you think MI6 suddenly withdrew their concerns about him? Do you think the committee wouldn't have doubts about appointing someone that MI6 has flagged as a potential threat? Besides, it goes way beyond his peerage. Johnson has been very lax on Russia, almost to the point of being an...

    And you don't think Johnson pulled a few strings and lent on a few people? MI6 had doubts about Lebedev (mind you, they had them about Johnson as well) As for the second point:

    Well, Boris for starters. You know - the Prime Minister.

    Despite the fact the players are young and thus less likely to be seriously affected, putting their lungs and bodies under that much exertion and stress while dealing with what is still a severe respiratory disease is a dangerous thing to do. The damage it could do that could affect them in...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Maybe there is a deal to be done. But if it was it's more a matter of how long would Putin stick to it? If he agreed it'd only be because he needed to replenish supplies etc. He would not see it as ending his pursuit of Ukraine - he believes Russia (and so by extension, he) has a right to...

    And how many people within that establishment does he have access to who he can try to influence? Carrie doesn't have any position at all in the corridors of power but has supposedly heavily influenced policy because of her relationship with Boris. Just as the likes of Cummings et al have. And...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Operating by establishment rules? What, society? Nice to see you acknowledge that the Tories lie, seeing as establishment and fair play are two of the things they bang on about all the time (but obviously don't truly believe in) So as people don't operate by establishment rules, I guess we...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not at all. I think we've seem some supposedly 'patriotic' news outlets be far more forgiving of Russia's invasion. The point was that you always need multiple sources to compare to see what is being said and highlight any potential bias. Anyway, stop deflecting from the fact you said someone...

    Yeah. At the very least he'd use Russian.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yes, he owns the Independent. So what? As you well know you have to get a wide cross-section of sources as all of them will, at some point, have an element of bias. As for political party, again irrelevant. Just because he's cross-bench doesn't mean he isn't a political figure or doesn't wield...

    I just think that a wider view of the game overall can help those on the touchline if they're in contact with them. Sometimes you see things that you'd can't at eye-level. Although MR can be a bit too quiet on the touchlines IMO and won't change things when everyone can see what's coming, I...

    I've no idea what the fuck you even mean by that. And anyway the point you made was he isn't a political figure. Are you now accepting he is and trying to deflect by some of your classic 'whataboutery'?

    I always felt there should be someone from the tactical team in the stands watching the game from a higher angle to get a better overall look of the game to relay to the bench. Maybe they do have someone up in the posh seats doing just that?
