It reminds me of this news story about a local MP and former Councillor. No suggestion of any wrong doing or similarities, it just reminded me of it. https://www.mirror.co.uk/usvsth3m/tory-candidate-claims-shes-lived-5603336

You can see all his goals here - have watched a few and rebounds and tap-ins seem dominant which points to him being quick and great positional play more than I remember seeing for us https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/player/deniz-undav#stats

The danger of Paypal friends & family is, I think, that there's no recourse if they just keep the money and don't send you anything whereas if it's "normal" Paypal where they take a cut then you can apply for a refund if you're scammed. Vouchers sounds like a way of avoiding tax at best.

Lewes on the day of the hunt is the day the political divide becomes visual and you realise how Lewes as a constituency ends up Tory despite being massively anti-Tory as a town. It's like a vast swarm of Tories gather in the middle of the town for the morning fuelled by sherry, the Daily...

For the past two or three years I've kicked off a thread on this and each time it's seemed to be a useful place for people to share how they are feeling, positive or not so positive, whether looking forward to Christmas or looking forward to it all being over, and to get advice, support, and...

I like that Dunk says James Milner has achieved more than himself "so far in his career". It's good to hear he's not ruling out he'll get a few FA Cup wins, at least one Champions League and a couple of Premier League titles in before he retires! :dunk:

I find CEX good for 2nd hand technology. Their grading of condition errs on the side of caution and I've bought things off them before that they've rated as having clear signs of use and I've struggled to see where. Pretty sure everything comes with a warranty too. The website shows where things...

One of my favourite songs of all time, but one he himself didn't like that much. It was pulled out of a bin of discarded lyrics and notation by Nick Cave after a night of drinking, who liking the lyrics insisted it was recorded. A fantastic lyricist and storyteller, I wonder what other gems he...

Any flavour NikNaks, dark chocolate Bounty, and a diet Dr Pepper

It says something about a person when they have a profile and public position of responsibility, are known, have apparently had issues over what they've posted in the past, and they are still less cautious or thoughtful about what they post than the majority of us on the board who are mostly...

So I don't know under what mechanism, but the allegation and complaint as it was at the time regarded behaviour towards vulnerable people. No town clerk (or whoever) would reasonably take the risk the allegations under investigation were true and allow continued access to the vulnerable group as...

The Timpson family, who seem like very decent humans, did some work around what could be done by regenerating dead high streets by converting longterm empty retail and office units to affordable housing and bringing people (and income) back. The estimate was something like 20,000 homes created...

This is true, but I believe (possibly wrongly) a complaint can still be made and have some bearing. I know of a councillor who was prevented from taking part in some activities due to something they'd done on nights off. which had been widely reported and complained about and which I think ended...

I worked in a place where demonstrable improvement got a bonus but stable high performance didn't, so people would deliberately not do so well at the start of the financial year then smash performance later on and get an improvement bonus. A very flawed system but maybe we're the same, and they...

I'd never vote Tory anyway, but this whole thing suggests to me they must have a severe shortage of decent candidates prepared to stand for them.

Earlier in the year I heard someone refer to "cozzy livs" for "cost of living", the sentence being "the old cozzy livs doesn't seem to have affected them yet". I'm 99.9% certain they called the platinum jubilee "platty jubes" too.

I'd like to add "let's do this" to the list, particularly when said as if a relatively mundane, standard task somehow needs gravitas or psyching up for.

That might give them ideas for the tree next year

I'd like to say I'm looking forward to hearing the flatulent over-blown explanation that must exist to justify this "artistic interpretation". But I'm not.

I'm genuinely awful, but Ian Selley - winner of the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup with Arsenal - went to my school and I played with him until we were 14 or so. My main memory of playing with him is surprise that he was the one who "made it" because in our schoolboy naivety we felt at least...
