I believe they were known as the "Lowe Luvvies" back in the day. . .

I remember a rumour involving Mary Corbett feeling intimidated by Lowe, there was a thread on here about it many years ago

I remember one or two rumours during the Wilde power struggle days

and there was me thinking this related to Lowe being referred to the police by his own party

I remember one of his own goals literally going in off his arse Seem to remember Olivier Bernard being pretty terrible for us as well

Last time he got any significant game time he was our best player by a distance and got a standing ovation when going off. People are fans because he's worked his way back into the team and offered more than most of our forwards this season despite limited game time.

FFS all my fault

Their goal aside, Alex Mccarthy has been very good today

Gutted for Tall Paul, been our best player by a distance

Was that the one where in the 1st half alone we had 3 excellent penalty claims all turned down, on top of Mignolet getting away with clearly handling outside the box?

and today he showed way more than most of our strikers. The way he was used here when he first arrived we may as well have had Erling Haaland playing at left back. It actually reminded me of 20 years ago when Peter Crouch was completely frozen out the side, then 'arry came in, used him as a target man and it wasnt far off keeping us up. Use him the right way and TP is one of those strikers that can cause panic and uncertainty in the opponent's box just with hs presence. Not saying he's guaranteed to have the same impact as Crouch did but he could potentially make a sizable contribution this season based on his cameo today. His goal scoring record elsewhere doesn't need dressing up

I remember some lads who worked at an Asda 20-25 years ago when the store first bought pound trolleys in, and the coins often didn't release when the trolley was returned (back in the days where their wage was about £3 per hour). They quickly realised that just by carrying some pliers on their shift they'd significantly increase their earnings just from pocketing the pound coins that customers used to leave in the trolleys in a typical day.

British foreign officer resigns over arms exports to Israel https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cyvpm1049d9o Mr Smith said he had previously worked in Middle East arms export licensing assessment for the government and “each day” colleagues were witnessing “clear and unquestionable examples” of war crimes and breaches of international humanitarian law by Israel in Gaza. “Senior members of the Israeli government and military have expressed open genocidal intent, Israeli soldiers take videos deliberately burning, destroying and looting civilian property,” he wrote. “Whole streets and universities have been demolished, humanitarian aid is being blocked and civilians are regularly left with no safe quarter to flee to. Red Crescent ambulances have been attacked, schools and hospitals are regularly targeted. These are War Crimes.” He said there was “no justification for the UK's continued arms sales to Israel”.

It actually is given companies were moving away from a flat 9-5 in the office world 20 years ago The last company I worked for that enforced 9-5 or similar on everyone was 12 years ago. A 5 day week - 8 years ago. A lot of companies don't even enforce rigid hours now, get the job done and they really couldn't care less how long you spend on social media.

In the words of the Israeli defence minister - “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,”. Gaza has nearly 2.4 million people, only 40000 of that is Hamas. The extremist regimes are on both sides.

Because they wouldn't have been able to whitewash the resulting carnage, ie in the same way that they're selling 7/10 as the start of this conflict. Survivors of the Holocaust are calling it out

ICC have applied for arrest warrants for the Hamas leadership, Netanyahu and Gallant

About as likely to be an accident as Prigozhin's plane crash

Well Israel have qualified for the Eurovision final. They qualify alongside a screaming witch from Ireland and a bloke from Finland performing without trousers or pants on.

"Extremists on both sides" as one of the daughters of the Israeli hostages put it in a recent BBC article. There's currently an urgent question on Gaza in the commons. You can visibily see Andrew Mitchell squirming at times, they know full well what's going on.

Indeed, although massacres like 7/10 have been organised/carried out by both sides in years gone by. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabra_and_Shatila_massacre (The gory details in the foreign reporters testimonies's section is sadly all too familiar) Thatcher pulled our arms exports to Israel around that time because she prioritised regional stability over Israel's self-defence. Then again unlike our current generation of politicians she had a backbone.

Most of Hamas' senior leadership/capability/support aren't in Palestine. One potential issue is Iran/Hezbollah/etc/etc. waiting to send the cavalry in. They don't exactly need to start a recruitment campaign for a sizable insurgency. The US found that one out 20 years ago
