  1. League 2. He'll be reuniting with Callum Hendry and Stevie Mallan is there too. Sounds like a decent club for him.
  2. Starmer has said no deal with the SNP. he would have to go back on his word to go into coalition with the SNP. If that gets Labour in power, they’re doing it. if it gets the SNP a referendum, they’re doing it. it’s as good as done
  3. Saw the opening half hour of Dune (2021) then fell asleep. It was definitely telling the story better than the Lynch version. Looks like a tv movie with a big CGI budget and the music was an intrusive drone. Showed just enough to make me want to watch it when I’m less tired, but not sure I’d have felt the same if I wasn’t a bit of a sci fi nerd.
  4. The internal undermining was in part a consequence of shit leadership though. Blair had a coherent philosophy (the third way) that was a convincing narrative to bridge left and right in the party and the country. Starmer has just binned the bits that appealed to the left. Just because shite with sweetcorn in it tastes better than plain shite, doesn’t mean I want to eat it.
  5. Would be unlikely if they were proper cocktails. Loads of places do shady pre mixed bottles of pre mix for cocktails and you’ll only get one shot of pre-mix per drink. Half a nip of rum and half a nip of Malibu for a half pint of pineapple juice isn’t much stronger than Top Deck.
  6. Learners still aren’t allowed on motorways, right?
  7. The idea of Michael Gove flying into a wildfire is good for morale in these trying times.
  8. Would welcome the money in the short term but it’s like house prices going up, it’s going to make replacing the asset so expensive as to negate any benefit. as for sportswashing, it’s an overly simplistic buzzword. There’s something to it of course but there’s also the hope that sport can be a civilising influence. I’d also rather they spent their money on footballers than on the traditional arms deals and hookers. On balance, is a medieval murderous despotic regime buying football a bad thing? Is that what you’re asking?
  9. Solving stuff is overrated I'd be happy with a tit for tat reduction just to annoy Hearts. But if we're not sold out and they want another 300 tickets at £28, that's £7k. What's that, a part time scout or community coach? Feels a bit like it would be cutting off our nose to spite our face. My considered opinion is that we should take their money before they get relegated again.
  10. Hackers looks pretty upset too. He's probably had his screen time limited for that just when he's built an amazing squad.
  11. Inflation has been mainly caused by oil and food shocks. The persistence of these rises is strongly arguably more due to increased profits than to wages not reducing. Profits have increases by mire than wages and there is no evidence anywhere of a wage - price spiral. "getting inflation under control" for these c***s means further cuts to real wages by framing pay rises as inflationary. I don't see this as a "good thing" but it's subjective. You obviously like people kept in their place for the benefit of capital and if that's where you're coming from, it's great. Also, on the national debt, gilt rates are below inflation, so can't be responsible for increasing debt. The main reason the national debt remains high is because of slow growth. It should also be reduced by inflation. I'm unconvinced that those are any more than slogans from Starmer. Agree that as a statement of intent, they sound better than Sunak's agenda. That's a low bar though. Do you? Insufficient +1 can still be insufficient. Pu It's arguable that austerity proper ended at covid, but not before. We've increased public spending on health only since the Tories came in (and on Brexit). (real terms)
  12. I thought Quantumania was entertaining nonsense in the cinema. Rewatched at home and it was just shite. Two spidermans, guardians and chang shi were decent (imo). i thought black widow & Dr Strange were ok but I'm in a small minority on that.
  13. One good reason for a proper wealth tax. And rebuilding the empire
  14. The wife put on a program about Greggs on the telly then buggered off. It's basically a lengthy advert (channel 5 i assume). The remote is out of reach an i'm comfy. sakes. Greggs is shite
  15. I guess you're thinking that it's the thin end of the wedge for a US type insurance system? Could well be and that would be unsurprising with that dickhead. It doesn't sound particularly like that though. Be interested to see how the figures stack up for this and what the detail is. Could be that it just subsidises senior staff who get health benefits anyway. Could also be that it encourages more employers to make things like employee health checks more widely available. More likely it's a tokenistic amount without enough certainty for employers to budget for it, which generates headlines but has little effect. Ideally for Hunt, the implementation will be an expensive shambles so when Starmer has to deal with it Labour will get the blame for rolling back health provision which was a great Tory idea.
  16. I'm trying to eat healthier so my last meal from the chip shop was roast chicken breast with mushy peas and a pickled onion and a surfeit of brown sauce (HP). The sauce was a bit sticky and the balance of the dish could have benefitted from using Daddies, or own brand at a push. Was quite good, despite the incident with the wishbone
  17. I'll take responsibility for beheading starling chicks and shiting in the neighbours rose bed but i'll not be held responsible for scratching the couch. The wife would kill me.
  18. They've been calling Gibraltar by it's name in Spanish for years, the scamps.
  19. That's Earth 838 for you! (i just felt my virginity grow back)
  20. How's he going to cash all his cheques now? Will likes of Ramsdens do Roubles?
  21. Remember when uri Geller was unusual and not one among many
