  1. There goes my theory that age difference criticism, from her dad Jude, was the reason for Bellingham's selection problems. 🙂
  2. Next season's strike force of Downs and BBD will take everyone by surprise.
  3. Job done with two lovely, early goals. Charles' strike was fantastic. But the first was such a good goal under our formation. A great through ball by the ever improving THB, an assist from a wide player to an actual presence in the box. Just what we've needed for such a long time. Apart from a defensive comedy moment, that in fairness, we've not seen anywhere near as much of, we were comfortable. We keep our 6th spot going into the break, which once seemed so far away.
  4. It could be like Somalia, where the press crews get to the landing site first.
  5. I was saying much the same to a friend, on another Trump subject, last week. Start with the caveat of what he is as a person. But then talk about the broader US goals being targeted, historic ones from before his time. Part of that is absolutely Trumps "weaving" where he drifts back and forth across subjects, often contradicting whatever went before. But knowing full well the news cycle and other politicians react every time. Following my own logic, there are objectives such as aiding Israel to take out Iranian leadership; further degradation of Iranian nuclear capability (even though they were destroyed completely last time) moving against another long term sanctioned country; destabilise regime; impact on proxies; impact on Iranian allies, also subject to other US actions; get some control or renegotiations on their oil. Not forgetting Trump knows he has until the mid-terms to really get things done. So, he's got a lot of things he can get drawn into. And those advising him, know that too. However, US strategic planning rarely seems to go past the shock and awe stage. No uprising; no long term planning and even his own side and allies are looking at this as a disjointed mess.
  6. trousers on English dictionary manoeuvres again. 🙂
  7. Bottle
  8. A quick glance at the headlines shows that we're allowing the US to use our bases to attack things to protect the strait. But wait, another headline says that Trump wants to be asked to help protect the strait, as he's considering pulling out, as he's met his objectives. But wait, yet another headline is talking about US troops very possibly going in. Shambles.
  9. Death was just a taxi driver to Chuck's next adventure, and asked for an autograph from his idol on the way.
  10. VA will take those points and run back home, knowing their good fortune. I caught the back end of the first, and the second half. 2 VA attempts anywhere near the net, and two goals to show for it. The first of those was bundled in by Leandre, although Our Rento was also claiming it. That one, and the second, were products of finally having half the side as forwards. The second was a nice shot from Appuah. But the original delivery missed everyone else in the middle by a mile. Concarneau will be kicking themselves. They got in behind the VA defence on 3 or 4 occasions, but couldn't finish. VA too high again, for the limited pace they have. They got one from a corner that wasn't cleared. They should have had a second. But the ref deemed Louchet being impeded by his own defender was a foul to VA. He blew just before the resulting shot hit the net. It really took until the second set of subs for VA to do much of a thing. The first XI had no focal point, lots of errors and looked tired. It's a win though. They'll be happy to take that away from home.
  11. A pioneer of not only the paperless office, but the e-free office too. Albeit due to shredding, removing and dumping all paper (even some the police had already found) and wiping (repeatedly) all e-mails and hiding and destroying hard drives. Except for the stuff in her underfloor safe and a couple of encrypted devices that, may or may not be hers.
