Thatcher had the formidable Sir Bernard Ingham on her team and Blair had Alistair Campbell. I know the latter is still a divisive figure probably as a result the unprecedented power he exercised in the Blair Govt but both he and Ingham were masters of messaging. Confirms to me my feeling that Starmer just doesn't know how to do politics which is pretty much what you're saying.

Yes, put into words exactly what I was thinking. Needs to be better at reading the room.

It was a while back, possibly 8 years ago. Don't have any intention of going from there as I can do Gatwick legally in 50 mins. Next door neighbours use it a lot but they've family close to J18.

Only been there once to pick daughter up. Got off at Jct 18, what a f****** ball ache it was from there. Came back via centre of Bristol and M32 so much quicker. Take the local advice from WSS.

Can’t wait to see what 21st Jan brings in the US with Elonald Trusk in the White House.

My happy place is Skala in Kefalonia. This year however I'm taking daughter and SiL with me and they've been with me to Skala and want to go somewhere different. So we're off to Parga on the mainland. Very picturesque. Meteora is reachable but a fair journey. The Acheron River nearby is supposed to flow to Hades as it disappears underground in places and goes through deep gorges. Anywhere on the Peloponnese is full of interest as Hamilton Saint has pointed out although I'd add Monemvasia to his list also. Spent many holidaying in The Mani which is mountainous and wild. The Pelion on the east coast, again can't fault it, but only cultural references we had were to Momma Mia, some off which was shot nearby. Ithaca which is small and beautiful has links to Homers Odyssey and is easily reached from Kefalonia. The north of the latter is stunning. Assos and Fiskardo and the wild roads themselves passing Myrtos Beach are well worth a trip. Argostoli the capital is nice place too. Like Hamilton I first went to Greece in 1973. I was on the SS Uganda school cruise. Happy days of youth.

Not a fan of Lucy then?

If Leeds go up this season they should learn from our mistakes and bin Farke off during the close season.

Twats who drive the wrong way round supermarket car parks

😂We’re so shit Man U will put six past us.

Difference was the sheer number of games last season. So recovery days were almost an imperative. Between the 29th March and 4th May we played 10 times, not a million miles off a quarter of a season. 8 games between 2nd December and New Years Day. February was another crazy month. So perhaps rather than wilful neglect it demonstrates another example of RMs failure to adapt to the higher level demanded by the EPL.

Sums up everything I felt about it. Ruth Jones is brilliant as is the peerless Rob Bryden. I didn't realise until recently they went to school with each other. Shame Doris (the Barry cougar) is no longer with us. She was genuinely funny.

SAHB so underrated

And then it takes 10 minutes for the arse to follow, and what is with those eyebrows?
