In fairness Pete, it's not just about the football. If it was I'd be there every week because I still love the game and the club. However it's the cost and the overall experience, as saddlebrains alludes to above. Not enough spare cash and a bit too much hassle to make it a regular thing, for...

Which is presumably why Marty hasn't responded. I'm all in favour of a bit of healthy cynicism, and it never hurts to consider alternative sources, but clearly some people have watched 'The X-Files' thinking it was a documentary.

Hmm. That last bit is the kind of phrase that I'd expect to hear from your common or garden conspiracy theorist. I'm all in favour of being cynical about what our Government posits as fact, especially given that the PM is a proven liar. But I suspect that's not really where you are on this and...

That reminds me, I used to play football with a bloke called Cardigan. Decent enough player but hopeless in the air. Not much of a jumper.

All kidding aside, good to know you're well mate.

Dammit, I'd just finished writing the obit too. Still, I guess it'll keep for a couple of months 😁

Bollocks. You're just too stupid to realise it or too chickenshit to admit it. Read what you wrote again, and try to figure out the bit where you embarrassed yourself. If you're struggling with it then I'll help. It's your pathetic fake outrage over what didn't happen!

In the meantime, it didn't look particularly fake to me, but if it was they could probably use a new scriptwriter and director. And no, it's not right imho - it was a crass, personal, joke that certainly deserved slating, but not slapping. As others have said, it would be a dangerous life for...

Nah mate, you're just the one getting upset for being called out on another daft comment again. Bless. Try not to let the horrid non-racists make you cry, eh. Mummy, call the waaahbumlance, they're all being horrid to me again.

If true, how pissed do you need to be to get run over by a tank? They're not exactly small, or quiet, or manoeuvrable, and even the quicker ones take a while to get up a head of steam. Good farm vehicles though, apparently.

It's not that much mate. At 110 billion over the next twenty years, it's only costing us just over £625,000. An hour. For those of you in the cabinet, who perhaps don't like to deal in small change, that's about £15 million per day. But it's only for the next 20 years, and after that we're...

If being on here doesn't get you down mate, then I reckon you can handle anything life throws at you, cold water swim or not. 😁

I'm heading for the Malverns personally, no one's going to bother dropping a bomb over there, unless Morgan take up wartime production. Have you got a spare room mate? I'm not very good at cooking, but I don't mind doing the washing up. 😄

Doesn't mean it's going to be turned down either, given the 'relaxed' approach of our council to HMOs, green belt development, student flats etc. etc.

This being the same Soviet Union that guaranteed Ukraine's territorial integrity if they gave up their nuclear arsenal. Putin's excuse for breaking that agreement is that the USSR no longer exists, I believe. Cuts both ways, does that.

There's absolutely no reason why the NHS shouldn't get involved in treatment though, unless I'm missing something. If it's not improving, I'd be tempted to kick up a bit of a fuss on his behalf. Squeaky wheel gets the grease, etc.

I've got a mate who suffered from something that sounds very similar to that injury... More detail here... https://www.healthline.com/health/myositis-ossificans#causesand-risk-factors

I hope he's well too. Always enjoyed hearing his remarkably honest take on things

I suspect many older Russians are entirely used to only having 'approved' news, so it may take a while to work its way through. However there's no disguising the shortages in the shops, and even worse, no hiding the dead bodies or the maimed when they start returning home. Eventually some...

In a nutshell, I think it's a bit like this: Repressive regime in a very big country trying to control a number of internal factions, lots of oil but low overall wealth, seeking nuclear weapons. No trust of the west for a number of historical reasons, Israel (a local nuclear power) and the US...
