  1. A possible option for anyone who hasn't booked up accommodation in Cologne yet.. England fans at Euro 2024 can stay night in 'world’s biggest brothel' as it's cheaper than hotels
  2. I think we'll be ok, being offensive, shocking or disturbing is perfectly fine. (2)A person commits an offence if— (a)the person— (i)behaves in a manner that a reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive, or (ii)communicates to another person material that a reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive, and (b)in doing so, the person intends to stir up hatred against a group of persons based on the group being defined by reference to a characteristic mentioned in subsection (3). (3)The characteristics are— (a)age, (b)disability, (c)religion or, in the case of a social or cultural group, perceived religious affiliation, (d)sexual orientation, (e)transgender identity, (f)variations in sex characteristics. (4)It is a defence for a person charged with an offence under this section to show that the behaviour or the communication of the material was, in the particular circumstances, reasonable. (5)For the purposes of subsection (4), in determining whether behaviour or communication was reasonable, particular regard must be had to the importance of the right to freedom of expression by virtue of Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, including the general principle that the right applies to the expression of information or ideas that offend, shock or disturb.
  3. Der Spiegel, 60 Minutes and The Insider (Russian expats in Latvia) have a joint investigation claiming it's real and it was the Ruskies what done it. The solution to the “Havana syndrome”. How the GRU cripples American diplomats with secret weapons
  4. Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump HAPPY EASTER TO ALL, INCLUDING CROOKED AND CORRUPT PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES THAT ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO INTERFERE WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2024, AND PUT ME IN PRISON, INCLUDING THOSE MANY PEOPLE THAT I COMPLETELY & TOTALLY DESPISE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DESTROY AMERICA, A NOW FAILING NATION, LIKE “DERANGED” JACK SMITH, WHO IS EVIL AND “SICK,” MRS. FANI “FAUNI” WADE, WHO SAID SHE HARDLY KNEW THE “SPECIAL” PROSECUTOR, ONLY TO FIND THAT HE SPENT YEARS “LOVING” HER, LONG BEFORE THE GEORGIA PERSECUTION OF PRESIDENT TRUMP BEGAN (AND THEREBY MAKING THE CASE AGAINST ME NULL, VOID, AND ILLEGAL!), AND LAZY ON VIOLENT CRIME ALVIN BRAGG WHO, WITH CROOKED JOE’S DOJ THUGS, UNFAIRLY WORKING IN THE D.A.’s OFFICE, ILLEGALLY INDICTED ME ON A CASE HE NEVER WANTED TO BRING AND VIRTUALLY ALL LEGAL SCHOLARS SAY IS A CASE THAT SHOULD NOT BE BROUGHT, IS BREAKING THE LAW IN DOING SO (POMERANTZ!), WAS TURNED DOWN BY ALL OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES, AND IS NOT A CRIME.

  5. He's been a property developer in San Diego for most of the last 25 years.
  6. When they investigated his property, they discovered a nest of what is believed to be around 500 false widow spiders under his windowsill. @KnightswoodBear
  7. You'll get a hint of how ancient I am when I say the only time I was in Bulgaria was before the iron curtain came down, crossing through on route to Turkey, and my main memory is of delicious yoghurt that they sold in plastic bags, and horse meat at a border restaurant that was dry and chewy, and cafes in Sofia where you had to stand in 3 different queues to get a cup of tea and a cake. Just got this link in an email though from a travel guide firm that I've used before, the most knowledgeable I think on Eastern Europe especially, which should be more helpful. https://www.inyourpocket.com/sofia/bulgarian-cuisine-must-try-traditional-dishes_73626f?utm_campaign=all-things-spring-feb-2024&utm_medium=email&utm_source=UABnewsletter The city guides are free to download. https://www.inyourpocket.com/data/download/sofia
  8. I've always liked Alonso, seems honest rather than the overtrained in PR robots most of them are. His honesty is sometimes only perceptible through a disguised wink though tbf.
  9. Local councils are reduced to cutting services from the most basic provisions of the welfare state at the moment, unless they find a way past the Scottish Government's Council Tax freeze there will be zero money available for increased public transport subsidies. In a better financial climate I'd like to see a demand based service for rural communities, where minibuses could operate a hybrid schedule, part taxi and part bus, but at the same rate per mile as normally scheduled services.
  10. Your links aren't working for me, but great photos on your website. Thought this was Ross Tokely playing through his Highland League ban for a moment.
  11. A weird thing is how Buckie keep beating the top sides on Wednesday nights but get nowhere against the dross on Saturday afternoons.
  12. I've heard most of the allegations before, especially around Kincora, but I can't guarantee 100% veracity to every detail. There's a hint of possible homophobia running through the piece which suggests some caution might be wise before quoting it verbatim. There was definitely something rancidly rotten and psychotic in the failed statelet though.
  13. Nice what you've done to this place, been a while..
  14. Average life expectancy for a 70 year old man is 86, for a woman it's 88. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/healthandlifeexpectancies/articles/lifeexpectancycalculator/2019-06-07
  15. Apparently they had plenty reserve team players available but not enough of them fancied it.
  16. With weekly postage included it's a bargain!
  17. I wonder how far back the historical allegations go? https://villagemagazine.ie/the-mentor-of-sir-jeffrey-donaldson-the-new-leader-of-the-dup-was-a-racist-and-a-paedophile-with-deranged-views-about-the-intelligence-of-women/
  18. A worry is that he seemed to be on the 'moderate' wing of the party, any idea who his permanent replacement might be?
  19. Here's the new acting DUP leader, Gavin Robinson.
  20. Easyjet have massively upped the fees for taking a larger carry on bag to put in the overhead locker, it can be cheaper checking it in.
