'You can compete but we might kill you' is not a great message from the next host of the World Cup and the Olympics. Thank for your attention etc
Looking to rent an apartment for a bit while I sort a house purchase and my god the state of 'luxury' apartments in the Midlands in 2026 is seriously depressing
If you enjoyed me getting too obsessed with a picture, youβll also enjoy me getting too obsessed with a shitload of pictures.

I like that people have not considered that if there was a better way of transporting the oil than 'very slow, very vulnerable ships making long journeys along politically difficult routes' it would probably be in place by 2026
Looking beyond the irony of taking Teaching staff off the Teachers pension scheme, this is an utterly gross move to find a loophole that shows how little the institution respects its staff
With Gorillaz now in Fortnite looking forward to the Bobby Womack and Mark E Smith skins
Me and the eldest did the my9games.com thing, not favourites, but about time and place. Annoyingly his list is better than mine

I could deal with the format if he went somewhere I know little about. Mongolia? Uzbekistan? Haiti? Go for it. Send him to Barrow for a week. Just not another 'the trains are really busy, ooh an elephant' thing.

Iran has two FIFA World Cup matches in LA and one in Seattle. The first is 107 days from now.
I'm saved from this one as have decided it is time to throw out and restart the glass and tableware collection. 3000 records with the temptation to listen to each one as it goes in a box on the other hand...

The BBCs live coverage of nothing happening in Jerusalem is really odd

Really liking this new Gorillaz album, even if its just making me wish the Avalanches would hurry up and do the same thing better again

Watching Newsnight and thinking 'I really hope none of these people win' isn't a great feeling
While I know the correct answer is probably Cannonball I'm finding it hard to argue against your position here
Surround yourself with the kind of people who consider The Princess Bride to be one of the greatest films of all-time.
'An AI that has loose baccy scattered everywhere and the corners torn off of anything made of cardboard...'
Just feel like shit without loads of curling on the telly.
Could Journalists covering the Gorton and Denton By-Election stop acting like they are doing some hardcore anthropology of a tribe previously untouched by western civilisation please?
This is the same as when students say 'well I paid for this' and I think, yes, but I did get kettled, charged by horses and watched colleagues get arrested to try and stop you having to pay them, sorry it didn't work but we did really try
