What's your favourite British things? I need a load of iconic stuff and I'm rubbish at patriotism or remembering. Stuff like the Mini or the Queen or the Beatles or Jaffa Cakes or the Hay wain or Big Ben, what are the first (good) things you think of?

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome

The Championship is SOOOO tough...but it'll be substantially more enjoyable than last season I'm sure. Top 2 would be wonderful; playoffs would be exciting/dramatic, but much less desirable; 7th or below would be hugely disappointing; beating THEM 2x would be a fantastic thing!

Actually signing either of them would be a plus...all this "will he/won't he" stuff is tiresome and pointless. I'm not investing in the hope until I see them wearing HALO on their shirt. COYB!

So cooked! Going centuries backwards in leaps and bounds. Even if there is a god (I don’t believe there is, but I don’t KNOW)…the idea of such an event unfolding only for said deity to intervene and what, deflect a speeding bullet, how does that make ANY sense to ANYONE??

Similar issue here in Canada. The truck “protest” tools/fools used our flag to promote their nonsense & even incorporated into their slogan “F*CK TRUDEAU” - the U was the Maple Leaf. Thankfully (jk) Trump came back & his 51st State bs allowed true Canucks to reclaim our flag! ELBOWS UP! GO CANADA!

Why do we measure movie success by dollars spent on seats, rather than the number of seats filled? Cost per seat goes up every year, but bums, ahem moviegoers, per seat remains at 1.

What's the definition of "outsourced" in this context Peter?

Northern lights dance behind a lone tree. Pink and fuchsia at the top transition to pale green near the horizon.

Curtains of purple and green northern lights appear to fall from the sky

One year ago tonight…

I asked ChatGPT why they'd choose the symbols and values and this was it's reply:

"It’s like putting whipped cream and a cherry on a plate of toast and calling it dessert. Sure, it looks fancier, but at the end of the day… it’s still just toast."

UK: no country has ever damaged itself economically so needlessly as we did with Brexit

USA: hold my weak fizzy beer

For all of us appalled by the hate metastasizing in the US and across the border, a reminder to the ignorant bigots who demand that everyone else speak the same ungrammatical English they do: this is what it means to be Canadian. (1/2)

Yeah Hirst is gone for a while. Delap it is for sure. AAH as the only other true striker...not a good situation if Delap takes a knock.

If everyone is fit I expect it'll be Morsy & Phillips, but I'd prefer Morsy and Cajuste.

Who's up front vs. Manure then?

Or maybe it was just the camera angle? Either way...Packers Win!

OK...I'm so confused...I've watched it dozens of times and sometimes I think it hit the crossbar and others not...anyone seen a video from the side?

6"? Literally hit the crossbar. Crazy!

Comet NEOWISE in July 2020 low in the sky above a cottage and tree. The comet's dust tail is clearly visible, along with it's fainter Ion tail. Also captured is a meteor and a satellite trail.

Not knowing what a quote post is I thought I'd just reply with my favourite one personally taken (Comet NEOWISE - Ontario July 2020)

Keep on keeping on Chris!

Great win by Geno and the Seahawks too! Great to see the Niners fail.

Oh my!!! I’d been too busy celebrating the Packers (very fortunate) win to have noticed this result. Thanks for drawing my attention to it so wonderfully!

Hit the crossbar!!

I still can’t get over the ball actually coming off the crossbar after Brooks’ fingertips intervened!

Having watched the game ending field goal attempt several times, I was amazed to see the Packers players celebrating the block BEFORE it hit the crossbar and fell short. It was THAT close to being successful! But in the end the Tip-Doink gets the Pack the win! Go Pack Go!

No...I still look at it but have implemented a new policy of not reading the "comments" as that's where all the garbage lurks (based on my curated list of follows being generally weather, space, Towen and the Packers). May ditch it completely in time, but not just yet.

However....if you do decide to choose one...I highly recommend Ipswich Town if you like rooting for underdogs and feel good stories (back-to-back promotions that have put them back in the EPL for the first time in 22 years)!

Done!

Thanks for writing this Alex. I think it's an incredibly accurate and nuanced summary of the state of affairs. As a Canadian I can only imagine how soul-destroying this outcome is for Americans that care what's "right", let alone the poor people living there who will now suffer 😭
