Speaking of 'only in America', I particularly liked the clip they played on the BBC news earlier, from the formal House Oversight Committee hearing that questioned Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle about security preparations ahead of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump:
Nancy Mace...
No - blimey, you're not being whooshed. I just watched the highlights back and you and @Van Cleef are 100% correct and I am 100% WRONG! I would have sworn that Connolly got the first, but of course HIS first goal in that game was his first-time flick that came back off the keeper, then he tucked...
Ah, thanks. I hadn't realised that. Although I'm hoping / assuming the BBC will have all of the Track and Field, the triathlons and the boxing. The other events I can live without tbh.
Once it gets to the point where chaperones are required in the rehearsal studios to prevent the professional dancers from beating up the contestants, then it's all over.
If Tony Bloom wanted to significantly reduce the costs and loses he's exposed to through his football operations, his first act would surely be to bin off the men's senior team.
Well, it will be upon us this week!
Really looking forward to getting into this, especially as the +1hr time difference makes it 'viewer friendly' here in the UK.

They tend to be dominated 24/7 by a tiny percentage of posters who bicker from entirely...
the prospect of him carrying on is unthinkable tbh and those around him have a duty of care not to allow him to go on, for his own sake as much as for their country.
It’s ridiculous that it has even got to this point.
Agreed. Plus as captain it is a shame that Kane didn't adopt more of a leadership role for the good of the team role and recognise that his repeated inclusion in the starting 11 was massively detrimental. Especially as Kane is to winning trophies what Uncle Albert is to sailing.
This is exactly the sort of global IT outage that I always believed Bensgrandad (RIP) was going to inadvertently trigger, every time he tried to re-install some programme or other on a second-hand laptop with the help of his brother-in-law and a spurious USB stick.
He'd be all over this.
Looking increasingly like the thread title will need amending before the weekend is out.
