Like monopoly, but with a "Go To Jail" on every square.

"We needed a new manager quickly," said Dragan Solak. "I reached out and said 'help me, Rhonda' and here we are. God only knows what I'd be without her, and we have good vibrations for the rest of the season."

The radio had an Israeli spokesperson on, and he had "diplomacy" in his title. "Israel will not take shit from anyone." Which is pretty direct from a diplomat.

Recovering from the plastic surgery after which we'll unveil him as our new manager, and not the one we had with the lifetime ban. 🙂

A playbook of fitting up the wrong guy for a crime. While one suspect has since died, hopefully the officers involved can enjoy some of the prison comforts this guy had for a few decades.

The Burnham Years - Can the new(ish) broom sweep clean?
Holmes_and_Watson replied to iansums's topic in The Lounge
I do wonder that considering labour didn't bother with things like policies to win by default, if Truss' lettuce competitor would have also been voted in. Perhaps I can modify my post to bring "Labour were too far to the left to be electable. Having moved to the right to get elected, they can now have some time to move a bit further to the left to get some of those ideas in place." -

I'll need to dig up the beeb podcast from the other week, but the bit I heard related to Labour dealing with the IMF in the '70s to get a loan. It was interesting to hear more nuances on the economy during his time, the things they were doing to correct it, and the flawed treasury figures that stuffed them at various points. Just reminded of it as you mentioned debt and there are recent articles of the IMF telling us what we should be doing. -

I think Labour needed a Starmer. Someone to drag them enough to the centre to be broad enough to win. Someone who would change depending on the circumstances. Once in, there was enough of the left of centre there to turn on him. Now we've got someone with more of an ideology, which we've not seen for a while. But had it been Burnham trying to get Labour elected on a "Let's go back to the '70s, once I've agreed policy with the unions" that would have been a lot harder. I can't say they wouldn't have got in as the Conservatives were wretched. But normally, he wouldn't have been electable. -
International Break Boredom: The Time Capsule
Holmes_and_Watson replied to Monk's topic in The Saints
My brother got me a current Match that had league ladders in it. They'd have made my list had they not popped up again (and Match from the list is still here too) From the list, I'd only take James Richardson x Football Italia and Teletext 302. I'd also like the early Daily Telegraph football fantasy. Books with player profiles would be released giving you a heads up. That's why I went with the Man City midfield the season they got relegated. Much like they should be this season. I think you had to phone your transfers in, pre internet. And Championship Manager 93/94. Where seasons were quick, and it wasn't bloated. -
I'd have thought crashing into the ocean was a bit splashy. When you add boomy along with splashy, that's two things while the others only had the splashy bit. Revolutionary?

I think the manager already said that Baz would not be available for the "return" fixture. Perhaps a second armband could be worn by the rest of the players. I'll be interested to see if Azaz starts.

Deterrent will play a strong part in it. Groups with 900m of money to conceal = very, very few. People with smartphones who can badly hide behind trees = could be anyone. Tonda's lifetime ban and Man City's indulgent chuckle with the word "rascals" used, is therefore fitting.

Ex-Saints boss on the charges. A very laid back Pochettino mentions us, even if does focus a bit more on the restrictions at Spurs. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cmed7q89vp5no
