The prat can always use his board for this year's Grand National Sweepstake

From memory there weren't that many 3-way tussles at GE24, has the number changed since then?

Polling results of Neo-Nazi John Tyndall

Farage/Lowe split reminded me of 70's NF/NewNF split, so checked out full fat neo-nazi NF leader John Tyndall's polling.
It was only after JT was booted out of the BNP and they 'moderated' their views, leaning more to 'cultural' rather than racial, that they became more successful electorally.

Eeek!...

From BBC: Rosenior says any individual found guilty of racial abuse "shouldn't be in the game".

Rosenior is the manager of Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, who was recorded singing with his Argentinian team mates a racially derogative song about black French footballers.

Sounds like a game some US Democrat voters played, and look how well that turned out.

Have seen a few comments saying Princess Anne was arrested, but Google is saying (yeah I know) she was only charged not arrested...
''The Princess Royal was prosecuted under the Dangerous Dogs Act, pleaded guilty at Slough Magistrates' Court, and was fined £500.''

💯%.
Just as 'Kick the Tories out of No. 10' was the mantra for GE'24, 'Keep Farage out of No. 10' will be the only game in town next GE.

Indeed.

From 'Sustained at His Majesty's Pleasure' to 'Detained at His Majesty's Pleasure' would be quite the journey.

Sorry to hear this Peter, take care

Bring back Dandelion & Burdock !

Thanks Henry, an enjoyable read and very informative on the play's context.

Cover of programme for Noel Coward's play 'Fallen Angels', depicting Felicity Kendal and Frances de la Tour as Angels drinking a glass of champagne!

It was Dec 2000, can't believe I forgot Frances de la Tour was also in it!

As a student visited London in '91 and went to the South Bank primarily to see the National Theatre. The whole area felt very unloved and soulless, with hardly anyone about. Such a contrast to the lively cultural hub it's now become.

Can't beat Beagle ears 😍

Enjoyed seeing this back around (I think) the late 90's, starred Felicity Kendall, timeless classic. Will dig out the programme tomorrow.

Yep, a very limited shelf life, once something has been 'reformed', what next?

Even if it was a mistake (it wasn't) it doesn't mean history would repeat itself with Carrick. Football isn't an exact science, if it was we'd be employing the current manager of Aberdeen.

Off on a tangent, there's an Italian high spec kitchen/bathroom company called Boffi, and very nice they are too, which is also an Italian surname.

I think the FA have done this purely to stop speculation in the run-up to the WC.
Ratcliffe did similar with Amorim, shut down the 'will he won't he be sacked' game the press wanted to play.

With offside there has to be a line somewhere, be it a fingernail or any other distance you want to add. But you will still get instances where a player will be offside a fraction beyond this line and cue more moaning.

The best working life advice I've received was from my first boss who advised me that when writing any form of correspondence, to imagine it one day being read out loud in a court of law.

Not forgetting his own appointed CEO Omar Berrada, born in Paris with Morrocan parents.
He really is a nasty piece of shit.

Thanks

My two things that are true at once:

1) starmer and his govt are not good at all, sometimes doing appalling things and deserve consequences

2) ALL of the alternatives at the moment are significantly to disastrously worse

Those are the options the country has and we can’t avoid choosing

What road is this on Gavin?

My online French lessons are sometimes very topical, currently learning French for downpour and soaked ! 😂
