I thought it was a good move if they don't want to backstab each other. If they got V or O out then Faye would know it had to be at least one of the lads (everyone seems to assume Kelley is faithful) this way they just have to convince Kelley it's V & O, and she seems to be going there anyway

I agree. The brilliant transfer business is very encouraging as a fan for the next 5 or so seasons as the team transitions away from dependence on the core team that won Champions league 6. But that will probably mean a slow start in the league and if the others are on it the gap may be too large

1 voucher left to unlock everything, 300 hours in. Gold on 6 decks I think. Still loving the game, by far the most I've been hooked by something. Get the jokers though, worth setting up a run or two just to unlock some

Post from Elon Musk

Post from Elon Musk

Things we've learned from the election
1. The far right has been rejected (now let's stop giving them air time).
2. Posts and followers on social media don't reflect real life (they are mainly bots and/or not from Ireland)
3. The Irish pay no heed to Musk, and he doesn't have influence here!

Yep I'm from Sligo Denise, that may have been one of my aunts, Roseanne, Margaret or Rita? Bluesky is a definite improvement on Twitter so far ๐Ÿ˜

Yes, I sailed from Ireland across to the Caribbean and back solo. It was really incredible, I'm still processing it! It's nice to post some old pics as a way of getting my bearings here

Yes, one of my slight regrets when selling Sapphira will be to have never done one of these. The timing just didn't line up. Perhaps in the future. Azores challenge in particular would be fun

I'm going the other way, there's an ad on the radio here that uses Mr Blue Sky and I'll often open the app after hearing it without being fully aware why

Thanks Les, yep seems like a sensible investment for sure. Want to keep the engine hours down if at all possible.
