Bang on. I do wonder, if he is at a point where a decision has been made, and just saying what he likes and thinks matters, not self-censoring etc. Hope you are right though.

John Virgo dies aged 79 Snooker legend and BBC commentator John Virgo has died aged 79.

Very sad news - RIP John Virgo. Snooker won't be the same without his voice.

Was lucky enough to have met him a couple of months ago in Bolton. What a lovely man.

Indeed, there was one posted above and inside the front door of every single Irish house. Seemingly ornamental, like old hunting rifles, in truth, ready for smiting at any moment.

We're being sued for libel by a London businessman who thinks he can bully us into taking down a @londonermag.bsky.social story about him. He's wrong!

Please read and share.

Saddened to hear this. RIP Gladys West.

Has to be one of the least well-known and most influential people ever.

Someone who affects our lives every single day.

This image is a humorous meme that contrasts the traditional, simple description of Santa Claus with a modern, corporate LinkedIn-style job description.
Reality (Rรฉalitรฉ)
The traditional view is presented simply:
Pรจre Noรซl (Santa Claus)
Livre des cadeaux une fois par an (Delivers presents once a year)
LinkedIn
The LinkedIn perspective describes the same role using extensive corporate jargon:
Head of Christmas Happiness
Responsibilities include:
Global Head of Holiday Logistics and Resilience | Emergency Management | Supply Chain Optimization | Behavioral Analysis of Naughty/Nice lists.
Experience & Skills:
Transformational Leader with over a millennium of experience in joy distribution under high-pressure conditions and ultra-short deadlines.
Expert in global distribution networks, extreme weather navigation, and stakeholder satisfaction.
Mastery of managing a diverse elf workforce and maintaining operational excellence at the North Pole's most complex toy manufacturing facility.

I remember that game. It was a dogfight. Think Kev got a controversial pen late on.

It was bucketing down too.

What a fascinating game! It's like a Pep-Klopp fusion got the better of a Slot-Klopp fusion.

Reilly, Doku were outstsnding . Nunes, Dias, Phil, Haaland and Nico G were belting too.
