The fact that it's had little impact speaks more to the kind of shit that Reform voters will swallow to get Nige into power, than anything else. Farage hasn't moved on, he's simply denying it, despite a decent amount of evidence from those directly involved. And it's not exactly a smear if...

The better half said the other day, "Oh, I just bumped into 'big Mick' in town. He's put on a fair bit of weight,I tell you. He makes you look thin!" I'm now pondering if this wasn't quite the compliment that I first thought. 😁

Hey, I resemble that remark!

He could, but why waste your best striker in midfield. 😁

I know many differ, but I still find EMC such a frustrating player. He gets so much of the ball, but never goes down the outside of his fullback (who has been on a yellow card for most off the game). He slows down the game so much when he does that, and it makes it easy for the full back. I...

Absolutely. Even if the US was legally at "war" with whoever they're bombing here, continuing an attack on combatants who are no longer able to fight because of their injuries is a clear breach of the Geneva convention. In short, it's either a war crime, or it's murder.

Honestly mate, yes, but when's the last time you've seen a linesman (asst ref) give anything...

I could give the ref the slight benefit of the doubt on the pen, it was absolutely one, but he's probably 70 yards behind the play. That handball though, that was right in front of him, with the player clearly moving his hand towards the ball and stopping it splitting the lines. How on earth...

That's a decent enough line up. There's no such thing as an easy game in this division, to use a cliché, but that team is good enough to beat Charlton.

Someone is smoking something, that's for sure. Kemi is a smirking clown who relies on repetitive culture wars rather than intelligent argument. The Tories were damaged by their own incompetence and corruption, and last I recall she was right at the heart of that. She pretty much gets her arse...

And until the HRA was codified, where were human rights in English Common Law let alone "ancient traditions"? They weren't. Aren't you shooting down your own argument here, you were claiming ancient traditions would suffice, now you've shifted to the HRA. Basically, it seems to me you're saying...

Our "ancient traditions" do not incorporate human rights as such. Just a limited concept of habeas corpus, trial by peers, and protection against the monarch. (A brief history of this is linked to below, if you're interested). Quite clearly then, "ancient tradition" cannot replace codified...

Start with Simms up front, and take it from there. 😁

Have you seen that Christopher Nolan film, Memento, where the protagonist has lost the ability to form new memories and has to tattoo important information onto himself? I'm getting a bit like that now. I think I need something tattooed on the back of my hand like, "You've left your glasses in...

The alternate version is... Hitler, has only got one ball, Goering's, got two but very small, Himmler, has something similar, But poor old Goebbels, has no balls, at all. How does this stuff stay in your head?! Anyhow, turns out that the song was probably correct...

There's a lot of truth there, so fair play for your honesty (though I think even then we knew the P word was wrong, and I don't remember that one being thrown around too much at school at least). I think the point was that Farage is accused of directing this sort of stuff at individuals, by...

Erm, me and Farage are about the same age. This wasn't stuff he was saying when he was ten, it was in his late teens. So closer to forty years ago. Mid to late 1980s. And yes, things were different then, but we didn't go around singing Hitler was right or telling Jewish kids that there weren't...

Given our top and middle order have taken to playing their cricket shots like they're driving off the first tee at the Belfry, maybe it's good practice.

Can't beat a traditional name, though for some reason my son isn't keen on Æthelred these days. Says his teachers find it hard to spell. His sister, Æthelflæd, never complained...

Great way to start the day. I hope all three of you are doing well, from memory it's all a bit of a whirlwind. Go out and grab all of today's newspapers now, or get one of the family to do it. Always a bit of a memento when they get old enough to appreciate it. You've just moved from being...
