That song was written by Pete Waterman and what a hypocrite he was. He wrote the Kylie song Step Back in Time which goes on about loving old music.

He was an absolute shit. I hope Morse did get him later on. I imagine he did.

I am 52 and indifferent to Fleetwood Mac. I suppose it kinda puts me in "... they're bad" category

Redcar Athletic are surprising me. I hope they don't go the way of nearby neighbours Marske United who had to return to the Northern League after, like Icarus, they flew too high.

I visited Ormesby Hall a few weeks ago and I fear Restore would want to remove all the references to Ruth Pennyman because of her politics and bohemianism but keep her husband's military and Toryism intact.

So, Rob Edwards won't be at the Riverside. He won't be doing a George Costanza.

Many years ago , I called Tom Harris a LINO at the other place. Very childish of me but he bit.

I reckon Rob Edwards is going to act like George Costanza (Seinfeld) when he quit his job, regretted it, and turned up the next day as if nothing had happened.

How long until Musk decides to back Barton openly? How much money will he give him?

Joey Barton found guilty of sending offensive posts on social media Former footballer guilty over posts directed at football pundits Lucy Ward and Eni Aluko, and broadcaster Jeremy Vine

"At one point during cross examination, prosecutor Peter Wright KC called Barton’s explanations β€œnonsense”, to which the former player responded by asking: β€œAre you calling me a nonce?” Wright in turn responded: β€œNo, nonsense.”"

I'm trying to think of the last manager I was invested in. It's Aitor Karanka.
I haven't had enough time to like or dislike Edwards, but to say leaving after just over a dozen matches is nauseating.

It's weird how it's just not mentioned. The fact she presented Women's Hour on Radio 4 was galling

Not as bad what her dad did to the trafficked women and her comments read out in court calling the women all kinds of nasty names. Feminist hero to some, despite that. She got to a posh school on the proceeds of dad's business of trafficked women. Then a media career. Horrible.
