    [TV] The Tourist

    Really liked the first series. Original, engaging and thought provoking. Seems they should have left well alone and sounds like I might want to give this one a miss.

    [Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

    Ah but don't forget the 2017 election NEVER HAPPENED here on Centrist Dadsnet.

    [Albion] The club (De Zerbi?) has spoken

    In this case they got the best of it. I'd have been quite happy to miss that last 20 mins.

    [News] Brianna Ghey murder.

    All good. Just as long as you are not an investigative journalist, looking in the links between govermment, organized crime and the role of Malta as a global secrecy jurisdiction and tax haven. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daphne_Caruana_Galizia It's all relative I guess, what 'safe' looks...

    [Albion] Albion U21 v Lyon U21 7.30pm International Cup

    I dunno. In his case you've got to balance the positives with the negatives.

    [TV] Netflix - What's good to watch?

    Trevor Noah's latest special on netflix is well worth it. (Mostly) funny with some very sound political observation along the way.

    [Politics] Brighton Pavilion, Labour candidate - who to vote for?

    Should fit with the current Labour party very well indeed then. And as long as he follows a couple of simple rules: 1: Don't upset Rupert Murdoch, Private Equity, Mumsnet or anyone wealthy. 2. See (1) above.

    [TV] UKCC23 - R16 Match ONE - Fawlty Towers vs The Royle Family

    Bit harsh that. Fawlty Towers had it's moments. Admittedly those moments relied almost exclusively on xenophobic slapstick and the kind of hilarious 'farcical misunderstandings' that have kept English am-dram groups in business for the last century. And it was only really popular, in an age...

    [TV] UK Comedy Cup - Group G

    How is The Day Today not WALKING this??? I mean The Fast Show and the IT crowd are OK. Easy watching but nothing special. The Young Ones is 'of it's time' eg. original at the time, but on rewatching...very obviously a bit sh*t. Weird people.

    [Football] How to fix VAR ?

    It is (and always was) fundamentally flawed in two ways. . Firstly it assumes that getting decisions perfectly 'right' is both possible and desirable. This is wrong. It isn't possible. And in reality it is far more important to make the game entertaining than to make it 'correct'. That is all it...

    [Albion] Joao Pedro Brazilian Maestro

    As was pointed out originally by a certain pizza guzzling Swede, Richarlison may behave like a pr*ck on the field, but off it, there is a great deal about him that is to be admired: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/nov/25/richarlison-brazilians-bolsonaro-world-cup-brazil

    [Albion] Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Soft. Very soft. A bit of luck our way for once I guess, but wouldn't be happy if I was Forest

    [TV] UK Comedy Cup - Group E

    b*llocks, yes, of course. I will now attempt to edit and cover my tracks.

    [TV] UK Comedy Cup - Group E

    I assumed that not the nine O'clock news wouldn't stand the test of time. But watching some of the classics it really does stand up. It would get my vote for Constable Savage alone. But so many classics. Gerald the gorilla. The 'life of brian' debate. Lufthansa terminal and 'nice video'. Kinda...

    [TV] UK Comedy Cup 2023 - GROUP STAGE DRAW

    How the F*ck has Fresh Meat not even been mentioned, let alone made it into the groups (yeah, yeah, i wasn't paying attention). Way better than the majority of the contenders. And that's not an opinion, it's a fact.

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    Remember that, in broader terms, the Tories are very happy for the public purse to empy and for public services to crumble. It doesn't affect them or many of their voters so much and allows them to argue against bringing privatized services back into public ownership and argue for opening up new...

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    Good question. I think yes, red meat for the right wing. But also, and probably as important, keep the right wing media (owners) onside.

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    Was just going to post the same. Also note: 'most married couples can leave up to £1 million to their children tax-free. Inheritance tax is only paid at 40% on assets and wealth above £1 million – and even then loopholes can mean that for some families no tax is paid on assets worth over £1...

    [Albion] Amsterdam pubs

    I've put this on another thread already, but if anyone is thinking of going, and not yet got transport sorted, I have a rail ticket available that can be transferred and could save you some ££.
