Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse.

What is the actual point in VAR, man? #LUFC

I'd forgotten about him!

How can you not?

Thanks Mags. I was there, thought I had a fair understanding of events but clearly I missed stuff from my ESL seat, including the "WTF is ..." chant

Some noise was innocent, some not. Your link to Moxco was helpful.

Thank you 😌

I like this summary & shared it tonight with a City fan, who's a close friend.

I started & deleted several attempts at replies to other posts, giving my ESL take on proceedings. I did not hear the words you quoted. But, your post reflected my thoughts & was considerably more articulate. Thanks, MOT

That's positive IMHO. I didn't hear it, from my seat ESL halfway.

Reminded me of Leicester away maybe 2001. Group near me sang "I rather be a ...", someone shouted "let's sing a proper song" & the original chant was quickly drowned out by "we are Leeds" as an immediate response. Perfect.

When I lived in Ipswich my home number was one digit different from Pizza Hut. I usually told people the correct number to call.

Pizza Hut ran an offer 'free pizza if your order isn't ready in 15 minutes', I took the orders. Often wondered whether people got a free pizza, or just an argument.

Maybe there was a character limit, had to pick the shortest name

Forest recently appointed who? 🤔

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.

It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

Done ✔️

Cleaning the barbecue grill* too. Never cleaned it after use. Once the grill is lit, a scrunched up "old newspaper" cleans it a treat.

Can't use most future "old newspaper" though, it's too inflammatory.

* #HouseholdTips you're welcome.

Also been listening to Jesse! Comes to something when Ryan Mason provided their period of stability 😆

Am hoping Leicester take the third spot that they richly deserve 🙏

List of West Brom managerial changes from December 2024

Haven't been following #wba turmoil apart from your household updates but blimey 😳

Cf: Brexit

Kulusevski too, been out all season.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

... that's how I'm viewing it.

Win 3 or 4 of Brentford, Sunderland, Newcastle, Everton, Villa; DCL stays onside at Anfield; you're looking at 7th - 9th instead of 15th.

Obvs #lufc still have to earn the right to be there next season first, but that's what a few £40m players could add.

You'd imagine Wolves & Burnley will already be down when we play them.

Be nice to help them if not 😉

I mean, great, but Rodger will be gobsmacked to hear about free education, doctors & surgery in Europe.

Though the orange man-baby is hardly a ringing endorsement for the most obvious alternative system!

President Branson / Johnson / Botham anyone?

They put the guy with the meth pipe in charge of Health.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Absolutely 💯 to all that.

Obviously OAPs have the sacred triple lock but the question for people 18-67 is, do you hate foreigners more than you need to eat/heat?

Insane, isn't it?

Hopefully the increased detail Reform are having to provide plus scrutiny of their councils' performance will further erode their popularity.

Pass the bottle from under your poncho,

Mrs G got a #lufc Liverpool ticket in the ballot; she missed out on Man U, nothing so far on City, fingers crossed for Sunderland tomorrow.
