Glad that France won but that English player Pollock is a real pillock & to be avoided

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

I don’t agree-stepping in to help will prolong the problem-what we need is a severe and rapid defeat off the US which causes a swift end to the hostilities

Except Giotto was 200 years ahead of Michaelangelo so not quite cribbing from each other

But Iran has been supplying drones etc to Russia for its SMO in Ukraine so this is just a post-hoc justification for their previous actions-we’re not fools….unlike the US

Most countries aren’t rushing to react but will certainly wait to see how quickly Trump/Hegseth are embroiled in total failure-the sooner the better & we have no imperative to intervene to help them-a bit of oil price hikes is a small price to pay

I can’t help having a slight preference for France but would be happy for Ireland to win the championship too (family on my mother’s side were Irish)

Agree-it’s funny I hadn’t thought about it for years/ever but the last 12 years since Russia’s invasion of Crimea, Trump 1&2 & everything else has made me reflect on how my parents lived through & survived WW2 & Nazi Germany & Hiroshima etc-I hope I will rise to their example(I’ve got the genes!)

TBH many countries have been reeling at US unilateral economic, Venezuela, small boats in Caribbean & E Pacific, lack of support to Ukraine, & insulting allies & not knowing how to react without harmful repost from US so if it damages itself without our intervention that’s success

Not so sure but we’ll see-I think they will own this as no one (including EU & NATO) will step in to relieve the situation until Trump & Hegseth are bloodied beyond recognition so that this never happens again

Love is in the air at Edinburgh zoo. Pebbling marks the start of the breeding season for Gentoo penguins.

Kids at Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity painted pebbles for the penguins to choose from and present to their mates.

There’s pretty good evidence that Michaelangelo plagiarised this idea from Giotto

I agree-I want to see Trump & Hegseth bleeding on their knees before we cross the strait of Hormuz to piss on them to put out the fire they initiated

Although I, like most Europeans, am personally affected by oil price escalation but Trump & his US administration need to suffer to the limit from their unprovoked & illegal war in the ME & at a point in the future we may consider how to help clear up this mess (for certain exactions obviously)
