I look at my personal phone when I need to do stuff, which is mostly playing music. No notifications except for family stuff.

As for my work phone, only for in/out calls or to check the battery level. They can sod off if they expect me to "do work" on it πŸ™ƒ

Early 90's here.

Don't have a fuckin' clue what we did, which is how it should be and proves I was there* πŸ™ƒ

Second hand book stores and charity shops are your friends here.

I know Kier Starmer isn’t popular but bloody hell this is a twist.

I generally despise anything that falls under the "gentle comedy" genre but surprised both my wife and myself by watching and enjoying this.

I don't know what that means, and TBH feel somewhat reluctant to Google it 😬

Be interested to see if you get into what percentage click through.

Even if 1% click through and 1/10 of those makes a purchase, with a customer base of thousands to millions that's a decent return for marketing that only costs a couple of hours time spent to create the email.

My triple Arsenal (one of them captained) are neck and neck for points with Sa.

Is it even possible he wins the battle? Will there be a penalty involved?

Tune in next Wednesday for the riveting conclusion of "Everybody hates FPL" πŸ™ƒ

Honestly at this point in time I don't care - would need to read all the others again to sort out what happened in them vs the TV storyline changes, and just haven't got the will or energy for that.

That's the bench boost part of the GW over and done with.

Glad i brought in Sa who so far, with a game still left, has double the points of my completed bench boost 🀣

That's a pretty sensible thing to do, whereas in addition to Rice I've also added some Nuts with double Everton.

Damn this is a sexy looking bench boost team

Hit taken (Verbruggen/Wilson/Guiu > Sa/KDH/GyΓΆkeres) and BB activated 'cos it keeps things interesting and gets that pain in the @rse chip out of the way pre WC.

Captain choice is because @miko.is.camp got me thinking a lot about Rice so decided to treat myself.

Oh, i get it, like anyone who's been young and skint.

Stovies, chilli/rice or lentil soup/bread took it in turns for a four days worth pot.

Boil in the bag is your friend here.

Seriously though, B in t'B is every bit as good - spent years faffing around expecting something "better" from loose rice. Completely wasted my time (and water).

Team with triple arsenal just like everyone else except double attack instead of defence.

Team with triple arsenal just like everyone else except double attack instead of defence.

Likely to be another grey arrow this week as I bounce around the 1m rank.

Very tempted by a -4 which would allow me to get my bench boost out of the way.

Alderete/Wilson/Guiu > Hill/KDH/GyΓΆkeres

Only relevant in as much as my aim for a captain is always somebody who seems likely to get double digits. That's the thing with Mitoma - he very rarely seems to get bonus points, which would get him to double digits. Loads of 7 or 8 pointers there.

Three and a half seasons in FPL and three double digit hauls in that time.

Good luck standing there in your rubber suit waiting for a lightning strike πŸ™ƒ

Bruno is probably the safe play. Real question is how are Sunderland at defending set pieces away from home, as Gabriel 15+ pointer has to be the dream.

James is absolutely better than Cucurella, but not exactly known for his reliability. Awesome asset when he steers clear of injuries*

Pah - it's healthy to give your immune system a good workout so meat out of the fridge is a good thing!
