An incredible Irish singer (former member of In Tua Nua) - Leslie Dowdall and the seminal 'Wonderful Thing'.

There are several versions of this - originally from the Chairmen of the Boards - Give me just a little more time. This is a live version from The Jam recorded at a benefit concert for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in 1981. A masterful piece in my opinion.

Here is an example of how the Tories (and the Blairites) are f*cking over the NHS. The NHS is currently employing Anaesthesia Associates - and this should serve as a major warning for where the NHS is going. To become an Consultant Anaesthetist you need a medical degree (minimum five years)...

Bring back Shane Duffy :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I warned against under-estimating AEK - they have a long history of playing European football - and they know what they need to do to get a result in Europe. Bad loss and its going to make it tough to get out of the group - Ajax and Marseille are no slouches in Europe either.

I like the work Anderson has done - pity the guy is a bit of an a**hole

Changes demanded by the WNT have started to happen - RFEF General Secretary Andreu Camps has been sacked and nine other officials within the RFEF have be told to resign or they will be sacked. Player power is bringing at least initial changes to the RFEF.

Yes it was an assault - if Rubiales grabbed you by the face and kissed you on the lips you would be screaming assault. Furthermore - the Spanish prosecutors are investigating Rubiales for assault - so they believe an assault happened.

I think there is far too much national and international pressure on the RFEF not to make some changes - whether these changes will be profound is a different story. The slight of of the RFEF sending tourist class train tickets to the Barcelona players to travel to Valencia has caused outcry -...

The members of the Spanish WNT have agreed to drop their boycott after 7 hours of talks between the players and their union and the RFEF. The players were threatened with fines of up to €30,000 and being banned from playing football for Spain and for Spanish clubs for between 2-15 years under...

The RFEF have threatened to ban any Spanish WNT player who refuses to report for international duty, from playing in internationals and from playing for their Spanish clubs for two years and to impose fines. The reality is that nothing has changed within the RFEF towards women's football, apart...

No - in the civil case Brand would have to prove that the media outlets defamed him - that would be a significant problem for him, not least because of his previous utterances about his treatment of women. Now it would be easier for Brand to do this in the UK rather than in the USA - but taking...

If the cops are involved it would be a criminal investigation - if Brand was to sue the media it would be a civil case. The burden of proof is different in both settings. Brand will not sue the newspapers or Channel 4 because it would be difficult to prove he was defamed. Even if he was found...

Man Utd this season are an absolute shambles from top to bottom - starting with the owners and ending with the team. They have been completely taken to the cleaners now by three teams - Brighton, Arsenal and Spurs - and they struggled to win against Wolves and Forest. Clearly there is trouble...

It is pretty much inevitable that this stuff will end up in a police investigation - and I suspect that a lot more victims will come forward now that his behaviour has been so starkly exposed and when the police start encouraging people to come forward.

While an odd individual may transition upwards in social class - far more tend to move downwards (particularly for middle-class to working class). Money breeds money - and those who claim to be self-made rarely are (e.g. Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos). Sunak's family (both paternal and...

Yea - here is the difference - his family are rooted in British colonialism, part of the mechanism of British control in East Africa - the British took members of reliable wealthy Hindu families who were part of British rule in India and used them to administer British rule in other colonies...

Oh - come on - you are not trying to suggest that Sunak is the product of poor Indian Immigrants - his father is a doctor and his mother a pharmacist - he was education in a posh fee-paying school - went to Stanford ( - $80,000 a year - do you really think he had to get a student loan for that...

Ghana had a comfortable 3-1 win over Liberia this evening. Kudus was again the best player on the pitch - West Ham got a good one by the looks of it.
