    You been living in Doha for the last 12 years? People have been criticising the choice to choose them and Qatar ever since it was announced.
    Qatar seems a thoroughly unsuitable place for a world cup due to its size alone let alone HR abuses.

    Georgia isnt a big place and a lot of it very underdeveloped. Apparently there's been a stream of Russians moving to Georgia over the past few years as well.

    Read online somewhere where after bonuses were capped, basic pay rose for bankers.
    The whole point of capping bankers bonuses was to reduce the reward for reckless risk taking.

    The scrapping of IR35 is pretty big news for the hundreds of thousands of contractors. Some well paid.
    Many contractors did very well under the old rules... Huge, barely justifiable, day rates and then doing all they can to reduce their tax liabilities that PAYE staff had no ability to take advantage of. Contracts lasted years, or just move between projects in the same organisation. Good work if you can get it.

    Tbh when Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 they did the same.. got to the suburbs of tblisi. Eventually withdrew to South Ossetia.

    I'd love them to take a look at this. It's now so blatant that they're using the two clubs to transfer ffp headroom. Don't know if there's any oversight the EFL can do really, might have to include uefa as well.

    Russia will overwhelm Ukraine eventually, probably annexe donbass eventually and then withdraw after putting some pro Russian puppet government in kyiv, probably with the long term goal of incorporating them into the union with Belarus. 
    I don't believe Putin really feels threatened by NATO as a threat to the Russian Federation. He is upset that NATO and the EU have increased their influence to the east, including many areas Russia would consider as part of 'Greater Russia,' parts that had decades/centuries of Russian influence under the ussr and Russian Empire. He doesn't view Ukraine as a real country and believes in Russia's right to dictate to the other former soviet republics how to conduct their affairs. 
    As far as I'm concerned this war is for territorial expansion and a partial restoration of the Russian empire.

    Shame we lost today. Seems a bit unfair considering we scored more goals than them.

    The collective trains of thought that run through these threads could keep cognitive  scientists in work for years.
    From some speculation that the ‘issue’ is ‘something’ to do with Moor Farm - nobody knows what - the thread has gone on to conclude that Moor Farm is going to be a housing estate (why - seemingly because Erewash councillors are all Forest fans!?!?), we’ve then moved on to Clowes wanting to develop Moor Farm (why - because he’s a developer, so stands to reason right), then - as a result of these nailed on certainties - we’ve moved on to identifying alternative locations for a training ground, moving existing businesses, without any consideration for the costs of such things, the time it would take to achieve, whether the businesses want to move, where they’d move to etc and then onto all our yesterdays and how it was all wonderful before anybody built industrial and retail units on an industrial estate and retail park and they should have left it as fields (not that it was) or railway sidings (which would have been unused) or should have turned it into parkland (where does all the industry go… fields?). And then we have some moaning about traffic in Pride Park… all from ‘the remaining issue is something to do with Moor Farm’.  
    Fascinating really. Proving the rule that nature abhors a vacuum.

    Live on air Jim White received a text from "a key player" in proceedings and the message said "early to mid-afternoon for announcement".
    Jim showed the phone to Simon and he nodded as if to say, yep source is a good one.
    I am ready to be let down.

    Remember the quote “you’ll be surprised how quickly things move to a conclusion from this point.”
