I’m sure Reform MP’s and their cult followers will soon be complaining about the numbers of Iranian refugees (or forrin immygrunts as they know them), pouring into (or is it invading?) European countries as a consequence of this new war.

Oh I know this one. It’s build thousands more houses, and do absolutely nothing to improve road infrastructure.

To be fair, you’d have to be blind to not see that.
There is risk with NRL having control (SL becomes a feeder league), but the alternative of continually fucking it up (as we do now) isn’t a long term strategy.

Pity you never came out with this wonderful advice during the last hour of your last show did you??

James’ Tomorrow was last tune on the XFM breakfast show with Cocker & Jim. Think it’s gonna be another slicing onions moment 😒

That means I’m about 3 weeks away from my 48th anniversary of reading β€˜the future’, as joined at prog 3

As a Warrington fan, I hope he stays with us until the PNG NRL team takes to the field, then I expect the draw of that will be too much to turn down.

This is the first I’ve heard of this, and it’s really grim news.
XS Manchester is the theme tune whenever I am in the car or doing jobs around the house & garden. Will be sorely missed.

Great show as always, although I was shouting β€œStop saying β€œthe guy” in every feckin’ single sentence!!”, at my phone when you were discussing Geno.

Regularly see the gritters out round our way, usually when walking the dogs - have to be alert so as not to cop for a face full of grit!!

A young guy with loads of potential, fantastic work rate and good rugby smarts. Really hoping he does well in NRL. We’ll miss him at Wires.

I had this weekly roundup segment on a sports music video, so I knew some of it word for word! Usually went for the closing credits music & action which most times was brilliant - well done Channel 4

Seahawks, as I had been to Seattle in β€˜73 as a little kid, so even though the team hadn’t been formed when I visited, it had to be the Hawks. Having the coolest helmet logo helped as well πŸ˜‰

Read the book on holiday this year, but as I’m over 55, I can’t remember it. So I should really enjoy the film - with no spoilers! One of the few benefits of aging I guess …

The Thames water boss correctly points out the infrastructure issues have been decades in the making, right back to 1989’when it was privatised. This fiasco can’t go on, it must be nationalised, and all the other water companies over time.

No, that was Justin Barriball. Much more polite and less shouty, but pretty much the same result!

Not on Threads, but this place seems to be building up communities pretty well in the sports I follow.

Some good and quite a few bad in that lot.
For me, best h&a combo is the Bulldogs, followed by Wests.
Most improved, the Dolphins

Broncos away jersey looks more like a post-match polo, or something from their leisure range than a kit.

Any idea of the result? Just wondering if Wire’s cunning plan of playing two players on the left wing paid off.
