Well, the Red Sox are officially the daddy. They beat the Yankees 6-2 in the American League wild card play off, that gives the Red Sox 8 out of 9 play off wins against the Yankees. It was the worst post season performance by Gerrit Cole, can't see him staying.
I always like it when you see a...
It's almost as if the Brits decided to drink the same Kool-Aid the Americans did during Trump's Presidency. Whatever fresh stupidity he did they lapped it up. Only difference is they got rid of him last year, the way things are going Bozo the Clown will get reelected with a comfortable majority...
I do love an NFL OT game. Giants Gators was 21-21 at the end of the 4th quarter and I could see us heading for another 0-4 start. But we took it 27-21 and Daniel Jones is being hailed as the saviour of the season. Funny how a lot of sports writers are suddenly saying what a great QB he is, after...

I imagine a lot of people are in your position, completely alienated by this current government but not seeing any other options on the table.
One of the things I always like about the UK compared to the States is that it wasn't a two party system, the way things are going it is in danger of...
Will be interesting to see what happens when all this blows over and the next election comes around. Will the great British public kick Johnson and his cronies out or develop their usual selective memories, hold their noses and re elect this shower for the foreseeable future. Don't know why, but...
Saw a programme about Preppers, folk who believe the end of the world is nigh and have moved into the dessert to stockpile supplies. One of the guys said that if there was a sustained interruption to essential supplies and services civilisation would start to breakdown in a week or less in major...
Some of the big retailers in the States like Walmart and Costco are imposing customer purchase limits on things like toilet rolls, bottled water and meat.
They say it is a preventative measure rather than supply chain problems......................hmmm, I wonder
