Patrick Bateman

No idea who the guy is, what he does, what his teams are like, or anything, so I'll just wait and see. I do suspect though that if he'd had a job for a Serie B team and had them near the top and been called Jose Netesto or something, fans might be more 'excited'? Just a hypothesis.

A very nice second half that. Like most, team news looked ominous and Arsenal's start looked like a 9-0, but fair play to the team, they actually battled, properly and pulled that off. That's all I think most of us want, a proper battling performance. Lavia, Bella-Kotchap, Livramento, Walker-Peters all out - some decent young players to come back in, but big shout to Lyanco.

I have a spare couple of hours now, where can I watch this impending sh*t show?

Good point and yes - f**ked lungs, so I'm in the vulnerable group.

i have my 4th on Tuesday, so yes is the answer.

The quality of journalism is bad, but this one is a new low ... Fans of the show took to Twitter to compare her with the star, with one saying: "Anyone else seeing a bit of Kerry Katona in blue? #NakedAttraction" A second added: "Blue looks like Kerry Katona #NakedAttraction." Though another fan disagreed and said: "No." 🤣

Saints will win. It'll be an awesome performance, pundits on MoTD will lap it up, Hassenhuttl will be lauded, Saints will stick with him and then lose the next 7.

Agreed. Sadly I couldn't vote for this Conservative government. Not because they are reckless, but because they are traditional low tax conservatives which has no place in a modern society. The markets are telling them that, they need to wake up and listen. On the flip, I cant vote for the Lib Dems as they're too odd and Labour as they still have some bonkers types in their ranks as you say. Imagine if Corbyn was anywhere near number 10 with the current Russia fiasco - Putin would be a guest here, you could guarantee that. In fact Russia generally have a lot to answer for in managing to manipulate the social media fools who lap it all up. But I digress. Who would I vote for? Right now, the Green party and that's saying something.

Jesus wept!! "they" And yes, "they" did, by racists. I first came across the term in 1999 when I started work for a multi-national, who had many contractors from India (Wipro) working with us. I had a chat one day with a Wipro employee about the term as I heard someone say it and was informed it was a racist insult used from people (for example) in India to refer to people of South Asian ethnicity born in the UK. A "racist insult", that was 1999. Not now. Racist more than 20 years ago, racist and completely wrong now. She does not have a point. The bloke is a brit, with different heritage to you and I, he does not need to be insulted. Now, if you want to pick apart his mini budget, I'm all for doing that, on a professional level, without mentioning anything to do with colour.

Bloody hell, very sad, condolences to his family, proper Boro and Saints legend.

First team please, full squad, let them gel, f**k giving others a go.

Exactly this, cracking player who looks at home in this league. Loved how he put himself about and made himself known. All the new signings look a bit no nonsense, I like.

Everything is a CRISIS with a WARNING. AMBER WARNING issued due to CRISIS of lack of loo roll. RED WARNING issued due to CRISIS over toothpaste. Whatever. The media (and in fact this country) is f**king dull. Meanwhile in the current AMBER WARNING for the HEATWAVE CRISIS, my lounge is still 29c at 11pm. But I'm not dead.

The more I think about it, the more I think North Korea would be nice. Everyone has the same house, same car, same food, no one complains and gets on with their lives. Most of the problems now are down to capitalism (see the cost of living thread), jealously and wanting to complain about everything. Maybe I'm getting old, but f**k me wouldn't life be easier if we all just got on with the same robotic actions every day, emerging from the same house with the same car?

100% I signed up with Bulb years ago because they used "green energy". What a load of codswallop we've been suckered into. This whole industry has been allowed to run riot for too long. What annoys me the most is that the stupid BBC will go on about turning off your microwave and turning down the heating a degree, but actually the majority of the price rises have come in the form of the daily charges. Do you see mention of that? F**king no. You can save all the energy you want but you'll still be clobbered. Cartel w*nkers.

The fact that these c***s can come out and say "we need to reward our shareholders" sums up what an utter load of bollocks this is. The whole thing is a massive cartel. I'm more and more becoming anti-capitalist and I'm certain I'm not alone.

Nearly f*ck all points for about half a year, time for Hassenhuttl to go. Bye. Footballers aren't sentimental so why should the fans be? He's done, busted flush. New management team, 6 (?) new players, same sh*t.

The "cupping" of palms really f**ks me off though. It actually goes right through me.

Isn't it obvious? The normal (old?) Soccer Saturday crap of Merson and co screaming GOAL, THERE'S BEEN A GOAL JEFF, GOAL, LOOK AT ME, GOAL, ARHHHHHHH, GOAL, is tiresome. I've no idea who this lady is, but the calmness in that clip was so much nicer than the normal shouting tripe.

He'd hate you as he loves criticising those who go over budget. Glad I'm not the only one who can't stand him. I'd start a charity, not really sure what, but I don't have £195m to worry about it.

All the good posters are now returning and you can see why (the balance is wrong)

Overwhelmed I tell you, the beds are overwhelmed. Death all around us. This county's media is mental.

Exactly this. You do not need a degree to be a Nurse, it's ridiculous. Like many jobs it should still be on the job training, best way to learn, with accommodation by your hospital and the occasional classroom / tuition session. The push for so many people doing degrees has completely messed up the balance of the workforce. Apprenticeships, on the job training - most careers should start that way. I didn't need a software engineering degree to do my job, could've just taken my hobby and learnt on the job with a mentor. Was it Tony Blair and his "50% of people should have degrees" nonsense? No wonder there is a lack of tradespeople, HGV drivers, nurses and so on. I've said this before but the soft sods now think they have a degree in some random subject, they all want to get into marketing rather than just leaving college and cracking on with a career from the off.

Good value. I buy President slightly salted. Was £2 per 250g pack a few months ago, now £2.40 per 250g. Stuff is a little more expensive, it's the world, but £9.35 for a KG of butter is obviously better value.

And had about 59 coaches in 3 weeks. Sod her. She irritated me by sacking the coach who helped her win her ONE title, poorly advised, but a succession of coaches since indicates problems, probably ego, whether her or family.
