  1. Will Dobbin's pay be bobbins? πŸ™‚
  2. Sesay played a lot at left back last season. (Typed knowledgeably, but first found out when @Over land and sea updated the contracts thread. πŸ™‚)
  3. I know! I got all excited to see if I'd made it today. πŸ™‚ I just stopped at Talksport. That would be a "no" πŸ™‚ (In fairness, their European football show was decent the last I heard it)
  4. He can take advantage of those HS2 plans from 2012, that would deliver a high speed link between London and Manchester. That must have been finished a while back now.
  5. Good news for England. If there's one side who can train that confidence and resilience needed to get through semi finals and finals, it's Middlesb...oh....
  6. Especially as you shouted "Run, Challenger, run!" as you raced towards the cinema. πŸ™‚
  7. Angela Rayner on Conservative severance packages, including those to people who rejoined just months later: "After the mess the Tories have left our country in, they should be hanging their heads in embarrassment, not walking away with an enormous payoff. "At a time when people up and down the country are struggling to pay their mortgages and put food on the table, it shows a staggering lack of shame for them to accept this money, but is exactly what we've come to expect from a bunch of Tories who only care about themselves." Angela Rayner on her severance package, upon rejoining the government some months later: "No, my severance payment was given to me at the time, I had worked in government for a period of time and then I came out of government for just under a year." Pausing to eat some of the waffle she had just presented, Rayner said she had "unfinished business" in government. The former deputy PM, pushed into resigning after breaching the ministerial code, did not specify which free concert tickets she wants to make sure she gets this time round.
  8. What?! Our opinions weren't good enough?! Let the 10 year seige of your house commence! And the wooden housecat left outside is not a trap. At all.
  9. The awards things would be about the last thing on my mind. But it would be naive to think that there's not an immediate and long lasting campaign to boost a film's chances of receiving awards. And that would include ensuring various diversity check boxes are ticked, and more. At the same time I'd like to think that the roles weren't selected on such a level. "Oh, we should have a black Helen of Troy" or "we must give that prominent soldier's role to a trans person." That does a heck of a disservice to the ability shown in this film.
  10. Wow. people have lots of time on their hands to trace the genetic heritage of actors to see if their ancestors were around in the right spot for the Trojan War. Or gosh, let them act. Nyong'o is another cast member I'm not familiar with. Again, she gets scenes to shine. Really impressive. There was a lot of emotion to express in a short time. If Nolan was working away on a Helen of Troy follow up, I'd be quite happy.
  11. Where a fraudster has targeted and destroyed the lives of others, then a huge deterrent would hopefully be a jail sentence proportional to the extent/ value of their fraud. If they can't pay it back, they should just be in there for longer.
  12. And with that, Zebedee wished all the children of the magic roundabout goodnight. πŸ™‚
