The only 3 people to benefit from Brexit were.

Johnson - got to be prime minister
Farage - got himself a cult following
Putin - got himself a weaker UK and Europe.

The rest of us just got poorer, more divided, less rights and for some very angry at the world.

Flew in the UK for my dad's 90th birthday. Asked a friend to bake a birthday cake. Unfortunately, I asked a dingle to make it!

He will set up a working party of 18-24 years olds to downsize the Vatican by 60% as the Priests serve no economic purpose! Then choose his mate!

Is it just me, or does anybody else think that Rovers will get a result tonight?

Why would anyone want to get promoted? Obviously, the money! Football wise - plenty of reasons to stay
