He truly is a legend deserving of beer recognition! 😁

Silent Running has something of a cult following, but I just couldn't get into it, and didn't see the appeal. This is despite loving sci-fi, including older films such as The Day The Earth Stood Still and The Man Who Fell To Earth

That's fair enough, I did wonder if there would be more to it. Thanks 🙂

I can't understand why a meeting is required? If a threshold is there and a policy in place that determining status, surely the country should be automatically reclassified once confirmed cases exceed threshold over a sustained period?
(Simplistic non-scientist opinion wading in here!)

Y gorros rojos a regalar a algunos presidentes de FIFA

Bueno si, significa algo... La marca de corrupción y ausencia de la moralidad

Que tremenda lunaza la de ayer, sobre el Estrecho. 🤩

Is this an omen that 2025/26 may finally be their year?

Wish we could clamp these onto a few people I know in the Houses Of Parliament!

No surprise there, he's been an important player for them this season and earned it!

Had one day of sunshine yesterday, now back to never ending rain today and forever! 🙃🌧️☔

Worldwide it will cost an average of just 5€ to watch a game, or 25€ for a season pass.

UK fans will have to pay £35 per game, or £150 for a season pass.

Probably.

It's like a lenticular cloud with pointy cat ears 😺

If #Wolves can just scrape two more draws this season, I'll be a happy guy 😅

Two of the reasons we quit Amazon Prime Video was the adverts that interrupt films, and because they still didn't let you watch everything even with a sub unless you pay to rent it

When it comes to the #environment; our oceans and #marine ecosystems are largely ignored by the media 🌊🐳🪼🪸

Ships pollute with engine #emissions and loud noises 🚢🛢️🔊

But this innovation could see a quiet revolution in maritime shipping that would be an incredibly positive step forward 🙌🏼

It rained yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that.
Tomorrow it is due to rain, and rain the next day day, and the day after that. 🌧️☔

But today it is sunny 🌞😎

Is the rucksack; a hero, on a quest, or taking part in an Avant Gard film noir photoshoot?

If "No" to the above, should your rucksack even be wearing a cape?

Lots of hormonal young teens would probably disagree with you! 😁

It will probably finish as a draw, but that helps neither side

Sounds bonkers, but I've seen crazier things happen (like Amorin somehow staying at Man Utd for over a year before finally getting sacked)!

I'm not even sitting in a pub 😭
Busy with the family, but still hoping for 3pts and positive news when I check in later on.
This feels like a massive game for both clubs

It's wild that the PM of a NATO member feels compelled to put out a statement like this vis-à-vis the US government.

STATEMENT The European Union calls for calm and restraint by all actors, to avoid escalation and to ensure a peaceful solution to the crisis. The EU recalls that, under all circumstances, the principles of international law and the UN Charter must be upheld. Members of the United Nations Security Council have a particular responsibility to uphold those principles, as a pillar of the international security architecture. The EU has repeatedly stated that Nicolás Maduro lacks the legitimacy of a democratically elected president and has advocated for a Venezuelan-led peaceful transition to democracy in the country, respectful of its sovereignty. The right of the Venezuelan people to determine their future must be respected. The EU shares the priority of combating transnational organised crime and drug trafficking, which pose a significant security threat worldwide. At the same time, the EU stresses that these challenges must be addressed through sustained cooperation in full respect of international law and the principles of territorial integrity and sovereignty. We are in close contact with the United States, as well as regional and international partners to support and facilitate dialogue with all parties involved, leading to a negotiated, democratic, inclusive and peaceful solution to the crisis, led by Venezuelans. Respecting the will of the Venezuelan people remains the only way for Venezuela to restore democracy and resolve the current crisis. At this critical time, it is essential that all actors fully respect human rights and international humanitarian law. All political prisoners currently detained in Venezuela must be unconditionally released. EU Member States' consular authorities are working in close coordination in order to protect the safety of EU citizens, including those illegally detained in Venezuela.

New Venezuela statement from all 26 EU member states:

Foto de una camisa blanca con las letras "LOVE" pero el O es la forma del país Venezuela y pintado en los colores de la bandera de Venezuela. También hay una botella de ron Diplomático, y una mano con un vaso de ron.

Pensando con un chupito de Diplomático.
No tengo respuestas, solo preguntas.

Fighting misinformation and outright lies is half the battle when verified information is scarce and people are clamouring for Jews of their loved ones, friends, and to understand the current situation.
People's feelings will remain in a state of flux until the proverbial dust settles

Before starting dry January, is it common practice to empty your house of alcohol first?
If so, I'll need to drink a bottle of vodka, two bottles of gin, limoncello, three bottles of wine, and a load of beers before Thursday and that's scary!

Photo of the Northern Rail Service train display board providing travel information. The image shows the tops of two seats against the rear of the train. On the wall is an electronic display with the time and logo, with a bald Caucasian man in a dark shirt with his arms out in front palms down as if performing a magic trick, the man has an odd semi-smile on his face. Stuck the bottom left of the display board edge is a sticker of a cat playing the drums.

Close up image of the bottom left of a Northern Rail Service display board showing a sticker of a tabby cat on hind legs playing drums. The drumsticks are in its front paws. As with most cats, this kitty's expression is decidedly unimpressed.

Slightly sinister man telling me what station is the next stop, is somewhat tempered by funky cat playing the drums
