The manager has just kept their favourite players in the squad, regardless of current playing form. Jobs for the boys. Shocking.

But it’s still Starmer/the UK who Trump has a pop at? Nothing odd there.

I agree and I really don’t want to know what the latest unpleasantness is.

I was born into a family of Stoke supporters (on my dad’s side) I am duty bound to hope the Fail lose. Do they still have the brilliantly named Bell End, named after one of their chairmen, Bill Bell?

I actually really like Startled jellyfish with air, although it does taste exactly like prawn cocktail to be fair.

I gave artisanal crisps a chance, because they’re crisps. But I am done with these crackpot flavours now. β€œGravel steamed wildebeest and okra”. β€œStartled jellyfish with air”. β€œPancake and moss”. β€œThoughts of turnip”. β€œBoastful earwig on a bible”. Enough is enough.

Enjoy this [afternoon/evening/night/early tomorrow morning DELETE AS APPROPRIATE] and I hope the surgery goes well and that you’ll be very soon on the mend.

You’re allowed one onion pun, and that’s shallot.

What about the women who don’t make it into the national team? The ones who for instance only get to represent their local club, or town? When do they get a day?

I wasn’t there but I can imagine Eccleston’s anger levels rising as each one of Nolan’s goals went in. After the third he appears to have reached boiling point.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Is it his glasses they object to? Just a little bit too cool for what they consider appropriate

What I have learned is that the more chain lube I put on, the more road dirt that the chain picks up. I am still trying to figure out the best thing to do.

ha, in the days before social media I needed to serve a 6 month notice period after resigning and had bugger all to do most of the time. I became really rather good at Stick Cricket.

when I went to get my bike serviced I was told off for putting too much chain lube on. I was told I only needed to put a small dot on every 5th link. I had been following some advice on Youtube and doing every link. It's so confusing.
