We’ve got nothing to lose really, and we’ve had some success with this sort of thing before. Chris Eagles was considered washed up in 2018 and came close to keeping one of the worst teams we’ve ever had up. Looking forward to seeing him.

Can’t he buy someone? Port Vale, for example, have a number of footballers who appear to be at a loose end.

Remember the same people literally crashed the entire world economy and have been allowed to carry on as if nothing happened

Not the best but my favourite is the Sheffield Tap, something really lovely about it

Vale have signed a lad canned Eli Campbell off Everton, I assume the ban reason for them letting him join us is to get him used to booing

A couple of years after Covid I was in a pub where this was going on, one of my mates did exactly the same. He reasoned correctly that the sorts of people most likely to queue up were the least likely to kick off.

When you look at the Wikipedia of an old white guy whose books you read in college there is an unfortunately high probability it will look like this

This is what I need explaining. Does becoming (for want of a better word), β€œpowerful” turn you into someone who craves this stuff, and why? And is it just blokes?

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

Jeffrey Epstein sent Β£10,000 to Mandelson’s husband, emails show Epstein sent Reinaldo Avila da Silva payment in 2009

I'm not prone to exaggeration but this is probably the biggest scoop I've ever been involved in

Mandelson's partner took Β£10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files
