I always found them hard to swallow. Just setting out my credentials for the next IQ slagging match. 🙂 -
I only caught Jordan saying that Sweeney was not marketing the sports. She is marketing the prediction market company. Therefore, it's disingenuous for people to be claiming all of women's sport is up in arms about Sweeney representing what they do. Which was exactly my reaction. Discussing objectivity for advertising is a different discussion. And one Lighthouse pretty much covered above.

The Burnham Years - Can the new(ish) broom sweep clean?

So you did. Missed that. The last time I paid attention to our funding of nuclear energy we were looking to build pop-up reactors. I don't recall if any have actually been started. I think the gov were struggling to get private investment. An example of investor issues, was a little before the above, where we were going to prop up the existence of a French company by guaranteeing them exorbitant fixed energy prices, and other sweeteners to build things here. Always good to read about rip off prices, endless open-ended contracts, less regulation combined with quicker building times and termination of tendering processes for decommissioning due to dodgy decisions. I've complete faith in our decision makers in this sector. My own energy costs have plummeted, thanks to the warm nuclear glow in my community, that also keeps the sky light enough to read by. -
Seems like he'll be getting his chance, as you say. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c6wyzg91zm4wo

I say we invade it, and use it as a migrant clearing zone. 🙂

From my local's menu regular chips £4.20 and large chips £6.20. There's plenty of local non chippy competition, that also stay open later. I'm just a bit hard wired into going there. Particularly from local football. Now here I am, counting the calories from my half time pie (that the local club notice if I don't buy one every match) and knowing I can get much cheaper, healthier fish based meals from the Iceland 3 doors down from the chippy. -

Wow. A quick check shows the online price of a fish supper at my local chippy to be £12. I always go in, so will diligently research in shop prices this weekend. £12 has smashed that magic £10 barrier! -
All women are brilliant. If the deep state hadn't sabotaged her, Liz Truss would have shown her brilliance too.

3 match ban for the spying. Oh, and 25 years for the serial killing. 🙂

Just catching up on some news. One headline talks about the US having a massive weapon in space, but there's Trump very much on Earth mucking about with voting systems. Confused.

The FBI's detection dogs will be very worried today. I dread to think who still lurks below the bar they've just lowered .
