Comrade 86

One was given and the other wasn't 😋

Gives us something else to moan about though, so it's not all bad.

Rico Lewis looks about 12 years old.

Do you ever wonder why aliens don't come to earth anymore?

So that'd be over 3,500 people who may need help and re-location, which is actually quite a lot! Fingers remain crossed in any case and I hope that you and yours are all staying safe and that the magma makes its bloody mind up in time for anyone affected to have some sort of Xmas.

Mr Musk's rockets don't actually explode, they 'experience rapid unplanned disassembly'. Only a doll-impaling, X-dwelling, wokerati, cultist loon would even consider that huge feck off fireball an 'explosion'. And no, smartarse, we've not lost another feckin rocketship either. It was a great day at the office. We had cake. Now feck off!

Anyone know when he's fighting Zuckerberg?

I think everyone knows this and I think that's been the case since the initial atrocities. Sadly, some irrational folk seem to think that criticising the IDF is the same thing as supporting Hamas, a line of which I grow wearier by the day. In today's news: Israel told the BBC it could not confirm it struck a UN school-turned-shelter but was investigating. BBC Verify has geolocated footage to al-Fakhoura school in Jabalia that shows many people - including women and children - with severe injuries or lying motionless on the floor in different parts of the building. There are more than 20 such casualties visible in the footage, and around half of these are seen in one particular room on the ground floor, which also shows signs of considerable damage. The head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) Philippe Lazzarini said he had seen "horrifying images and footage of scores of people killed and injured" in one of his agency's schools "sheltering thousands of displaced". "These attacks cannot become commonplace, they must stop," he said. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67462615

I've long thought the same about Conor. He puts in decent performances, but also throws in stinkers and the latter seem to leave a longer-lasting impression with many than the former. It's disappointing to hear he looked off it against Crewe, but I'm hoping for a very different performance from all the players back in the league against Bristol, not just Hourihane.

Might be somewhat to do with Ferrari's pace I suppose, but Max is giving the press some wonderful one-liners. Not a happy bunny 😂 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/67461305

It's not a fact though, is it? It's not that we can't, or even that we won't. We remain under an enforced business plan that was part of our punishment for entering administration. That's the issue. FWIW, £200k might actually be doable, but the £1.5 million fees, that some have lost their minds over last window, almost certainly never were.

It was 3 games.

Thoughts and prayers are with the sperm whales

3 shots on target against Malta is pretty poor irrespective of the line-up. Mission accomplished I guess.

Beautiful solo effort from Rice. Shame it's scrubbed off.

I'm laughing, but that's actually the logic being applied. You couldn't make it up. I'm ok though as I love salt beef bagels nearly as much as coffee, so me and Benny Netanyahu would get on like a house on fire. Or a city maybe.

So you're calling folk racists for something they haven't actually done? Risible.

Yep, probably the most bone-jarringly asinine post I've ever read, but I commend your patience in answering it. It's just one strawman after the other though, so don't expect any softening of the 'if you're not with us BS'.

FTFY. No need to thank me. You're welcome x

I'd be keeping things simple with a chorus or two of, "One Daniel Beavis". Seems an apt and fitting chant and I'd like to think B4 would absolutely love it.

Sad to say, I think this just about nails it.

Look on the brightside, in 5 years, when the Liberty have completely squeezed the pips out of it, the Saudis state will buy F1 for 3 times what it's worth and then stage every race around the streets of Jeddah, with literally nobody watching. Imagine how cheap the tickets will be! You'll even be able to afford an Air BNB in Monaco during race week. No racing mind, but hey, you can't have everything. Good to see the drivers, (yes, him too) giving it a resounding 'oh do **** off', as well as binning off the meet and greet. Wish I could have seen Stefano Domenicali's reaction when he realised not one of the top drivers were going to rock up. Even baby Stroll blanked him 🫢

The Old Oak - an important and timely offering from Ken Loach, a man whose powers and passion remain undiminished by time. Very much a tale for our times, The Old Oak portrays a dying Northern town, still reeling from pit closures and the hardships that followed and the conflicts arising when Syrian refugees pitch up. Alternately uplifting and heart rending, as always, Loach leaves space for hope and also reminds us of the inherent goodness of most ordinary folk and how hardship can make them seem less than they are. I loved this film. It doesn't preach, it's not in any way prescriptive and its devoid of the artifice and cynicism of so much glossier output. With Loach now in his 87th year, it's one to treasure. Very few if any these days are interested in making films that really inform, but if this is to be his last film, I'm happy to say it's right up there with the very best of his catalogue. Dave Turner is nigh perfect as beleaguered landlord TJ, fighting to keep the peace and his head above water. New face, Ebla Mari, is also excellent in the role of Yara, a young refugee. Stimac / 10
