Disappointing technical glitch in my downloaded paper today. The full-page match report from Ireland v Scotland was missing.

Exoneration judicially, but you'll know yourself that life doesn't just return to normal.
For a while, I lived a few doors from one of them, who would pass hours sitting in his car smoking and trying to come to terms with whatever life was.

Growing up in Belfast, we didn't really have to worry about the rest of the world πŸ™„

And what exactly is it that you're delivering for Finchley and Golders Green?
Fear, threats of deportation, Reform policies...

Obviously, you cannot publicly speak against this.
Hell, you may even support this cruelty.
I'd be surprised, though, if you don't yet realise that she is talking you out of a job.

I voted for a Labour government, not this

"Keir Starmer criticised..."
By whom? Patel

Whereas the article lists many more people who agree with his approach.

FFS, some of us don't want snide, predetermined hatchet jobs, we actually want the occasional, you know, recommendation.

FFS, for people over a certain age the change in the BBC's news perspective is desperately sad.

Evening lads. Do you have any idea wtf is happening at the end of matches?
I swear I heard Luke Pearce say the match would restart because we scored before 80mins was up, but that wasn't the case in other matches.
Are they just making shit up or do I need to cut back on the wine?
