'That is all' isn't that silly??

My local MP. He’s holding a meeting in our town on Thursday and I’m very tempted to go (suspect work will make the timing unworkable)

He entered a loaf? Did he have a knob of butter?

Sorry I couldn’t resist…

Oh, I wasn’t excluding the immigration issue, I was just referring to whom she may have worked for.

If she gained access to the US to work for Epstein, it’s bad, if she gained access to the US because she was a honey trap I suspect it’s a whole lot worse…

It’s all speculation of course…

Or, maybe she worked for someone else from her neck of the woods whose presence in the background would cause an even bigger shitstorm than a β€˜mere’ pedo and child trafficker.

A honeytrap isn’t that unusual or unuseful technique.

We never did meet Maris did we?

I’ve got this vague recollection of seeing her ankles or some other peripheral body part, but a bit like Howard’s mum in Big Bang Theory we never actually meet her I don’t think.

There is non so blind as those that won’t see - or something like that.

Let’s not bother letting the truth getting in the way of a bloody good moanfest.

I understand the urge to rail against that kind of nonsense, but you know they’re never gonna listen, too much risk of being proven wrong.

No, Ros had the wildcat about her. And wasn’t that Lilith? Super smart and would tie you up in mental knots whilst Ros would have you in an armlock.

I mean where the hell else is he going to go? Liverpool loan NUFC Ekitike? Chelsea give them Jackson (would he go to Chelsea?). City probably don't need/want him. Arsenal we'd love him but we seem to have Gyok done and dusted. Barca? Madrid?? PSG??? It's a diminishingly small market for him.

It must be so gratifying for you to see stuff like this, especially given the more niche space you have in the media compared to the MSM.

Congrats

Grace Dent is a great call.

Did he go on strike? I don’t remember

If I remember rightly that was always a red-line for Wenger - he wouldn't touch a player who did that.

Yep, you’re not wrong.

Has it REALLY been as bad as many media outlets are portraying? The Tories had 14 years of governance & were making bigger & worse decisions towards the end. Isn't a government allowed any grace time anymore or does a Labour government get judged by higher standards because they're not Tory?

I added this comment on another post:

This feels like it did when Abou Diaby finally left. I felt I'd seen a player capable of elevating us, with all the attributes to be considered amongst our historic players. Then injury robbed him and us of that. Very sad.

Sales call at 9.15 in the morning - already?!

But, as a salesman for over *cough* years, I take immediate & terminal exception to being called 'mate' by someone I've never spoken to before in my life. Even more so when it's a 'professional' operation selling financial services.

Train them better.

Indeed, and although I'm a Gooner like you, it seems appropriate to say #YNWA for the lads family, the club and their fans.

Awful.

What leaped out to me is how surprisingly rare something like this is. We (Arsenal) had it with Jose Reyes - but he'd long since left the club and was approaching retirement.

Feeling numb at the moment, sorry for the lads family and of course the club and fans.

I might need a translation for some of that last line (β€˜soy boy’?!?!) but I get the gist.

It’s my mindset why I’m not CR7 levels of rich. 🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣

At what point is there enough money? I'm sure he wasn't struggling before this deal, so what's in it for him other than reputation shredding?

I don't get it.

Chat - write me a political statement that is anti-woke and will be just about clear enough to confuse the great unwashed into voting for me and not Nige. Use words likely to trigger. Make it appeal to gammon (no pineapple).

Me too - I can't think of anyone I'd prefer us to sign for that position.

Well done you, today is a new day. Yesterday was crappy for me, but here we are 24 hours later acknowledging it and going again. You got this.

An interesting analysis but, as argued by Alex Edmans in other fields, not all stats are to be believed. A winger's lower assist figures will be skewed by the type of striker on the end of the ball & the midfield support hitting the box in the follow up. Their ability is not the only factor.

As far as I understand it, you’d have campus such as King’s, Corpus Christi, Clare - and they all have departments like, Law, History, English.
