    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I'm not saying you're wrong, but can I offer a possible alternative theory: Might it suit Israel to delay the ground war whilst they're grinding down any military opposition via endless airstrikes, and simultaneously pressuring an entire population into abandoning their homes? In effect...

    Imagine my disappointment when (at the age of about 30), I found out that in the rest of the world, scallops are some kind of fish thingy. (As opposed to fish fingers, which are ace.)

    What is lard, if not a lubricant? And what is a heart, if not an engine? And what engine can run properly without lubrication? I rest my case. 😄

    With you entirely except on the hash browns, tasty or not, are they not an American interloper? Fried bread though, I've not seen that in years... No way the health police are letting that one get through. 😁

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Maybe they just won't bother voting at all. I'm always wary here of treating any group like an homogenous entity, but it's clear that there's a reasonable degree of unhappiness at Starmer's stance here, even from some of its own MP's.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Not saying you're wrong mate, but that surely hurts as much as anything else Starmer has or hasn't done. I'm also not sure, given the traditional Muslim votes that this might cost Labour, plus the seemingly large scale support for a different approach elsewhere, that taking the government line...

    America

    I found it entirely tolerable, but then as discussed elsewhere I'm not exactly a coffee snob. More than happy with the standard fare too, though again maybe that's a comment on my palate. Steaks are far better, I'd contend, and most big cities (like the UK) have high end fine dining if...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Absolutely fair points, but the interesting thing (to me at least) is that whatever some of the press might say, there seems to be broad support for demanding an immediate ceasefire. I think most people can see that no matter what the right wing press want to say, supporting that demand is not...

    America

    In fairness, I've always found it a warm and hospitable place to visit. With huge and staggeringly beautiful spaces too. A while back, I thought seriously about emigrating. A few problems though. 1) Their nutters are well-armed and dangerous (and their police to some degree too!). 2)...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I've got to say that I'm somewhat heartened by what I'm reading here today. It does seem that the vast majority accept that what happened to Israel was hideous and should be condemned unequivocally, but at the same time most can see that what Israel is doing is hideously cruel too. My only...

    Match Thread Coventry City - West Bromwich Albion Match Thread - Monday 30th Oct

    If we get after them right from the off, and go at it with real pace and intent, then I think the place will be rocking and the whole team will benefit. If we go into our shells like the second half last night, it'll be horrible. We can play some beautiful football, and we've got some great...

    Match Thread Rotherham United FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 25th Oct

    Hey mate, no worries. You're a fan, this is the right place to fire off. I could be talking entirely out of my arse, many seem to think so in fact, so no offence taken. Made me chuckle in fact. 🙂 We want the same thing at the end of the day, and we won't differ in how we feel at the end of...

    Come off it mate, if you think some of the comments regarding Godden on here are objectively and calmly ranking strikers, then you're not bothering to read the thread or you need better spectacles.

    Match Thread Rotherham United FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 25th Oct

    I can only remember one where I thought he might have done better. We're so slow moving the ball forward that he's feeding mostly on scraps. Simms got in better positions but seems slow pulling the trigger, probably a confidence thing. I don't get the hatred for Godden, personally, but it's...

    Match Thread Rotherham United FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 25th Oct

    In fairness to Godden, how often did we actually play him in? Da Silva seemed to have the run of the pitch first half, but second half I think Rotherham changed formation. From that point forward, until Saka and COH got on, we looked useless (and full of nerves) imho. Such is life, I think we...

    We've shed our confidence completely here, they've stepped up and we've stepped back. End of the first half I thought we were right back in it, now we look completely lost...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Labour could make hay with this, but the first thing that I spot today is the watering down of another popular policy, right to roam (basically because it upsets some rural landowners). Is there any policy commitment that Starmer won't cast aside to keep the Daily Mail happy?

    You must've missed King's Judas shot in the kidneys as Robins was walking off stage then. Couldn't believe it. This is why you have to watch until the end of the credits. 😄
