Episodes was funny but "Joey" - Matt LeBlanc - was cast as himself, not a college professor. He played a hockey coach in "Pucks", the show within the show, based on a character who had been a teacher in the English original - the UK/US media culture clash being the source of most of the jokes

Thz concern is that these deaths hardly seem to be registering at all in US media or public comment

Ms Oakeshott says she looks across the Arabian Sea from Dubai knowing that there is Iran....then talks about her "fully informed" decision to move to Dubai. Apparently not informed enough to know the Arabian Sea borders neither place.

..or dozens of Iranian schoolgirls, or hundreds of Iranian sailors left to drown from a ship torpedoed 100s of km from the battle zone, which had just participated in joint naval exercises with the US and India

Lovely!!

Perhaps read the announcement carefully: you have misrepresented it.

Sadly that excuse will chime with their base which remains substantial. A nice moment to see Goodwin humiliated but this was just a skirmish: no time to rest

Er, there is a whole world outside the US with a variety of voting systems. Plenty of useful examples to study if parochial exceptionalism can be put aside.

London meets all these criteria in fairness...
good options from both airports to avoid the expensive express trains;
bank card tap to pay for public transport (absolutely transformative for visitors);
lots of nice walks, because it's so big, which can be interspersed with renta-bikes and bus

Weetabix is one of the few branded products that I still insist on...far superior to the lidl/aldi versions which have a different look, taste and performance (holding structure once soaked in milk). Their shredded wheat knock-offs, on the other hand, are bang on.

Worst search function of any shopping site: very difficult to specify any features and get useful results. Aside from the planet-killing facist-enabling aspects of course.

Oh come on! The attitudes and willful ignorance on the EU of many UK boomers is a self-made caricature. I recall arguing with a smart educated man who simply refused to accept that MEPs were actually elected and was raging about this "5 presidents" nonsense. Progress requires tackling this mindset

When you say the UK, I think you mean England in this case. And even there, under-30s do not generally seem to be as suffused with exceptionalism (better education?) as so many boomers and Gen Xers, steeped in fake WW2 nostalgia. And even still it was only 52-48...

Day 422 of #GeorgiaProtests

1. Further international isolation of the regime, which is an enabler and sanctions evasion tool in the Russia-Iran-China axis;
2. Further targeted sanctions. It works;
3. Aid to CSOs and independent media.

Please amplify! Thank you.

It's not just the deluge of misinformation; it's that there is no effort to provide information. Those who report on the EU appear to be required to make no effort to properly understand it. There is no public education: in Ireland we've been learning about this stuff in primary school since the 70s

And developing the parallel, given the Brexiteers' demonstrated contempt for us, think of how that looks to us Irish...

Because the UK public have not been exposed to any coherent arguments in favour of the institutions of the EU. Brexit exposed how fundamentally ignorant the UK body politic and commentariat were about how the EU worked so it is no wonder the wider electorate were (and are) also.

I can't stand O'Leary personally, but as it was undeniably his leadership and vision that transformed a small regional Irish airline into the biggest airline in Europe (by all measures) in less than 2 decades, entitled nepo-kid Musk is showing his ignorance in expecting anyone to fire him!

That's due to continued failure to recognise that "improved trade" is best facilitated by the pooling of sovereignty required for the single market. This stupid notion that there is a separate trade prize without political integration is the UK exceptionalism of soi- disant pro-EU sophisticates

Not even a mention of his appalling openly racist rant about "low IQ" Somalis that, shamefully, none of the press picked him up on? Oh Americans, what have you become?

I entirely agree that it is not a good thing to monster immigrants under any circumstances but sadly succeeding in politics at the moment favours a lot of immoral and unethical behaviours...

Fair enough.....but it is good politics to undermine Jenrick with Reform supporters (who are mostly low information) exposing the shabbiness of the whole defection charade and Farage's chops as a political outsider, the basis of much of his appeal
