    Blimey, I thought that was Johnny Vegas for a minute!

    [Misc] Public Image Ltd vying for Eurovision

    Yeah, two previous 'outsiders' or anti-Establishment figures who were often brilliantly witty and entertaining, but who have become increasingly obnoxious and offensive, and will say anything to court controversy and remind us of their existence: Lydon endorsing Donald Trump as some kind of...

    [News] 6 (SIX!) year old shoots teacher…in America, obviously

    Presumably he forgot to add: "apart from those of you who have already been killed by gun-toting arseholes."

    [News] 6 (SIX!) year old shoots teacher…in America, obviously

    "Guns don't kill people, 6-year olds kill people (with guns)". The Republicans still won't countenance any restrictions on gun ownership, though, even though they always claim that their opposition to abortion is because "All human life is sacred.". Yeah, except when it is innocent people being...

    [Football] Has Graham Bitten Off More Than He Can Chew?

    He did, but that was a different era, when those who ran football clubs and/or their fans did not demand instant success having spent £ billions trying to buy it. It's part of modern culture, sadly: "What do we want?" "Success" "When do we want it?" "Now." I see the same attitude among many...

    [Albion] Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    From The Guardian's match report: "Brighton, everything Everton are not in terms of their excellent recruitment, clear strategy, sound financial planning and intelligent style of play".

    [Albion] Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Mitouma, Ferguson, March, GroB - maybe we don't need a new £30-40 million striker after all (y)

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    Exactly what I've been thinking - rampant ego, fuelled by dodgy hangers-on, flashy cars, and shagging a succession of C-list glamour model 'groupies' + diminishing effort and lack of maturity = a career wasted. Like Knight, he'll spend the rest of his footballing days slipping down the leagues...

    Absolutely delighted for him, and (once again) so proud of the way that 'our' club is run.

    [News] Rail fares in England and Wales to increase by up to 5.9% in March

    Perhaps the railways need to be privatised, because then competition for customers would result in cheaper fares, more reliable services, and more choice about who to travel with. Oh, hold on :unsure:

    [News] Rail fares in England and Wales to increase by up to 5.9% in March

    We also have to pay more to ensure that there is enough money to pay the shareholders their dividends every year. In many private companies, 'maximising shareholder value' is the primary economic objective - other considerations (a decent service for customers, treating the workforce with...

    Yup, I've always noticed this; how the Right play the (wo)man - sorry, being 'Woke there to avoid sexism! - not the ball.

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    The worst tribalism I have seen in recent years has been from steadfast Tory voters who simply will not accept or acknowledge any mistakes or dishonesty from Conservative governments and Prime Ministers. No matter how cruel, incompetent, corrupt, deceitful, duplicitous and dishonest recent...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    Won't be long before the first lurid, sensationalist, headlines: "My dear old mum died because there were no nurses to change her bed-pan" or "Cruel nurses laugh on picket lines while hard-working taxpaying patients die in agony in hospital corridors." My wife's a nurse, so she and her...
