https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2024/oct/31/saudi-arabia-football-world-cup-bid-report-asandh-clifford-chance-fifa-2034-rights-groups This story was around last week but only got around to reading it in the Observer today. AS&H Clifford Chance was commissioned to independently...

I doubt that. But happy to be very wrong.

So need that sort of play from Albion, started the move, slightly lucky with it ending in the space it did but brilliant execution

I think Katherine Parkinson was also in Chekov's tribute to Brighton and Hove Albion. She plays the only nice human being in Rivals and makes a good pairing (eventually) with Danny Dyer. I never read the book but me and mrs albionalba binge watched the tv series last week. Hilarious, clunky as...

Slot still felt it necessary to make those subs he made around 70 mins rather than dig in. Hopefully that's a complement.

Tenacious all round, bit of a frantic rush to prove themselves at individual levels, lots of scope for mistakes, exciting to watch though. Can't bring myself to turn of the alerts on my phone which as usual are running ahead of the stream in the hope that I'll hear that early alert when we are...

Hopefully this clearly delivered and fairly decent budget will help push this lot of whinging westminster-haters further towards the door in Scotland at next year's elections.......(but maybe he's just talking about football.....)

I agree entirely with the above. I often wonder what the full, humane and equitable (competitive) selection and mobilisation cost would be to address this in a structured way and capitalise on the benefits such folk could bring. By that I mean having a decent, medium-term immigrant visa scheme...

Yes although the first time I tried it to make conversation at a dinner table with folk I'd never met previously a drunken bore urged a female guest to move away from me now I'd been confirmed as someone seeking out some raping and pillaging and it all got rather boring and embarrassing, so I...

It's under 'historical matches'

Details as above. The story is featured as an episode in a tv programme called Viking Dead

I noticed a newish feature on my 23andme account recently where archaeological DNA from specific individuals from digs etc has been added to comparisons showing (in my case) small percentage matches with various Vikings (including an unusual burial in Estonia that had been in a tv documentary)...

Putting that into context, according to the BBC it's £563m worth of nonentities. Even a £300m fee for limited Starlizard service could give them good future saving....

One thing that worried me the first time he used the phrase (14/10 investment summit) and again today was the continuing reference to unlocking access to assets for overseas investors that are 'deep in the bones of this nation'. Both times he has also implied that any regulation that impedes the...

Heading down from Scotland for this my closest away match. I don’t miss the Carlisle days but at least away fans weren’t treated as badly as the disconnected heights of SJP.

Like many things I think NSC has been around the block on bread before but it is worth saying that mass produced bread will one day be shown to have been the cause for many ills and a scandal akin to those biggies we are all familiar with. It is easy to say make your own but it isn't practical...

Yes, I'm a rare appearance with these fellow 7 percenters - football with optimism is starting to pay off. I shall climb the lofty heights of the away stand at St James's Park on 19th with a spring in my step (even if my lungs are struggling).

Have to use this as an excuse to mention the classic Succession episode where Roman tells Logan Roy that they've bought Hearts as a present for him and he retorts with "why? I'm Hibs" (Which actually was a flaw given that Logan grew up in Dundee so more likely to support one of the city's two...

Have had a couple of 'just average' experiences with Motorway - i) inflated initial offer quickly reduced even though precise condition highlighted for valuation and ii) seems to be used a lot by 'amateurish' trade buyers who have no idea of geography and can be time-wasters (I think there must...

I don't want to send this thread too far away from the recognition of the fault and systemic corruption behind the Grenfell tragedy but I do agree with these quotes in terms of the level of corruption, corporate power, lobbying, government inertia and complicity etc etc that is driving the food...
