He chucked on a pile of weight between getting that t-shirt and that pic being taken, a fucking massive growth spurt. He won't be parted from it as it's one of his absolute favourites. And as for his hair, he's a 15 year old lad wanting to be in a rock band, although he had it all lopped off at the start of summer and it looks miles better now. He's got the potential to be a cracking bass player though, and he's teaching himself how to play guitar too, as well as taking drumming lessons. Music utterly rules his life. That and being a Liverpool fan !

My real life mate is a big a pro-beaner and is massively into his Heinz. When we lived together as students I used to always argue that they were practically indistinguishable from HP, but he wasn't having it. I said he would never be able to tell the difference and the baked bean challenge was born. Using scientific methods the challenge was set up. I cooked three plates of beans on toast for him simultaneously using Heinz, HP and a popular supermarket's own brand. I'm not naming the supermarket, they can fuck off. My mate was blindfolded as the challenge commenced. Nowt kinky, like, just so that he couldn't identify the beans visually. He ruled out the supermarket beans straight away - the sauce was a dead giveaway. But when it came to HP vs Heinz he took a good minute or so to make his choice. In the end, to my dismay, he identified the Heinz beans correctly but it was close. It was one of the greatest days of the late 90s.

Lucky you.

Hang on, leave me and Howdy out of it.

Every single freedom we enjoy is open to abuse. That's the nature of freedom. I'm not about to prevent those who are in agonising, incurable pain from freely choosing to end their lives in a safe and dignified way just because there's a tiny theoretical chance that one day, someone may be coerced into it. As a general rule we need to stop treating people as errant children who need to be kept in line and trust them to make decisions about their own lives, and this issue is a perfect example of that.

I always think that rivalries are a bit like friendships. You have your work friends, who you get on well with when you're working together, but you're not really that arsed about them and if either of you moves on, you don't keep in touch; that's the sort of "rivalry" that we've had with teams we've briefly competed with, like Leeds, Forest, Arsenal, Chelsea and now City. But you also have your lifelong friends; similarly, we have lifelong rivals in Everton and Man Utd. If they both slipped down the divisions, I'd still keep an eye out and laugh when they got beat.

Those loyal servants who carry out her cruel heartless, soulless orders to dehumanise and destroy as many people as possible, in the "more compassionate welfare system" she's reigned over. This is self-serving as it gets, and she's just a horrible rat deserting the sinking ship in an attempt to preserve her own seat. While it's nice to see the Tories break another bit, she shouldn't receive any praise or congratulations for her 'courage' or being in any way principled or honourable, as she's surely expecting to have heaped upon her. Her record as Home Secretary and Work & Pensions Secretary is as shocking and damning as it is possible to be.

We can now add "funny tinges" to homophobia...

Souness was harder than Keane, Ruddock and Dicks combined.

If he didn't call an election, then someone would raise a VONC in him (which he would lose, because he doesn't command a majority) and they would lead an interim Government to call an election. Fortunately, Corbyn has proven time and again that (unlike the Master of Politicking) he is neither stupid nor a cunt, so there is absolutely zero chance of him trying to cling to illegitimate power in that way. No. That's why we want Johnson and Cummings out.

Can point to lots of different moments but the bottom line is our captaincy and batting is absolutely fucking shit.

I've just moved the brilliance on my tv down to 1 to see if it gets the umpires looking at their light-meters.

Banshee is mental, love it!

Walked in and actually thought they were showing a replay of Roy's dismissal from the first innings. He worked hard but he's had a chance but Roy is a white ball cricketer. Have to say Root's captaincy yesterday was pathetic when they had them 40 odd for 4, I thought great the Aussies might have to bat into tomorrow . But the tactics after tea were utter wank leaving Leech on when he was milking runs and why not put two quicks on and go very defensive with rhe field and just waste time . Shit Stokes out

Imagine leaving your family and friends and ending up in fucking Rochdale.

What a load of rubbish. If you would just think about it for a little while there are myriad moral questions to be raised, it’s extremely difficult to properly legislate and obviously could be open to certain kinds of abuse. I think I would like to see us plan towards it but let’s not pretend it isn’t fraught with difficulty or is anything less than an extremely sensitive, controversial subject

I was just coming back here to talk about Marr this morning. You're right, Javed is a cunt, but I'm hoping not just people who vote for other parties could see this morning what a cunt he is. There are plenty of swing voters or those who sit to the left of the Tory party who must be disgusted by him. Marr was bang on though pushing him on the "will you have an election pact with farage and the brexit party" line. He wouldn't let him off with the "we don't need anybody" bullshit. Firstly, it was absolutely clear that they're considering a pact with farage. Secondly (which I'm surprised Marr didn't latch onto, but to be fair he was trying to get a yes/no), that the Tories saying they don't need anyone when they've been in coalition with the lib Dems and been propped up by the DUP is quite incredible! Then there was Rudd. I think it was great watching her dig Johnson/Cummings. She's clearly already lining herself up to be the next Tory leader, she wants to be the uniting figure. In the mean time it makes a real change to see them turn on each other. They often fight behind close doors, but when it comes down to it they rarely drag this into the public so clearly. Finally, I'm not a big fan of John McDonnell for lots of reasons, but mostly because he comes across as a patronising cunt. But I thought that was his best showing this morning and the clearest labour have been on brexit through this whole shite. All in all I felt this was a good morning for both the left and the aim to stop a no deal brexit. Roll on the next Tory minister to go. I do really wish we could see a no confidence vote tomorrow and Corbyn or someone can lead us through the next few weeks can for a government and then we get a GE.

The Tories won't win the next election, I don't care what any polls say. May was light years ahead of Labour in 2017 polling but when the media was forced by purdah rules to give both parties fair and equal coverage Corbyn demolished her lead. How anyone can pretend the Brexit party are a serious threat too judging by the fact Farage has been trying and failing to become an MP since the Backstreet Boys topped the charts is beyond me. They'll pick up a few votes from people's uncles who look like Jimmy Nail but that's about it. This government is finished. You can tell even the print media are starting to hedge their bets. I suspect some kind of coalition will replace it.

A couple of Evertonians I work with are fuming that Tom Halls Tavern in Brunswick street in town has been renamed "Jurgens Bierhaus" and is now an LFC themed bar. It says in the Echo that it will cater for LFC fans and tourists due to it facing the Liver Buildings. The two who are upset are quite moderate Evertonians but it has boiled their piss big time. There is another one who has moved to a different department who is one of the most bitterest Evertonians I've ever known and he has been drinking in there every Friday after work almost since it opened. I cant wait to see his meltdown over it.

Keane was more of a thug than a hard man. Tremendous footballer but a complete snide on the field and off it too judging by his outbursts.

That looks a cracker for the price. I'm not a tinned tomato or fungus person, but you can't argue with the value. The food looks well cooked, the sausages look real and not crappy chippy type, the beans look pan cooked and not microwaved so the juice stays too thin.

I enjoyed it. Wasn’t overly keen on the episodes where they have the invisible character captured but the rest was good. Starlight is absolutely lovely.

Is there a Richer Sounds near you? The folk in there are usually brilliant in my experience.

Well it finished hours ago so I doubt it

This mornings breakfast. Took my little girl out for as its her birthday party later. nice little cafe in Wetherby. she had two poached eggs on toast, I had the basic full English with no added extras. £5.95 for mine. Could’ve added black pudding and a second egg, but wasn’t hungry enough so didn’t. all in, mine, hers, a coffee and two orange juices for £11. Happy with that. Sausages were ace. Egg was nice. Two slices of brown toast with butter not in the picture. Arrived uncut, so I sliced into triangles cause I’m middle class. spot on.

I remember you saying he didn't have the technique, and me saying it was about Roy at number 4; but you are right, he could be a decent 3, moving Root to 4 and letting Roy go. Roy and Butler might be fucked after the ODI, but Woakes and Stokes are also probably a bit jaded. Leach has a lot of cult status, but Bess might be worth revisiting, just from the bowling point of view. Sam Curan might get a chance in the last test, if Stokes is also fucked, but hopefully they won't replace Root as Capt with Stokes. That's a Bothamesque mess in the making. Root hasn't been a great captain but who do you lot think deserves a place in the side and can captain, apart from Stokes? Stokes looks really fucked at the moment, but shouldn't ever have the captaincy to worry about. Bairstow is an interesting one, he's not the best w/k, but you could play Olie Pope at 6 instead of him, Foakes at 7 as w/k. I'm sick of his chippy litttle attitude - when he can be bothered making a decent score, he then uses it to hit back at Vaughn and the others. How about just being competitive all the time and not relying on media criticism to make him do his job? Having typed that, it's cathartic - he's a poor w/k and an average test batsman, and he really fucks me off with his 'me against the world' bollocks. I'm beginning to hate the arrogant little fucker - 'I don't bat as well when I'm not qwicket-keeping.' Well fuck off and keep wicket for someone who doesn't mind your sloppiness.

I hope he doesn't. I hope he suspends freedom of the press and freedom of speech and association. Nationalises the banks, puts Prince Andrew in prison and turns Rico's house into a borstal.

Interesting... https://mobile.twitter.com/transalpino/status/1170772874023571463

I love evertonians!

Labour don't necessarily want to roadblock Brexit. I think their strategy will be to negotiate a new Brexit deal, then put it to the public in a Remain vs their deal vote.

The problem you're missing here is the argument isn't about whether it should or shouldn't be an option for those with in the latter stages of a terminal or agonising illness (obviously following assess full options first). It's about the who the system works for and who could access it in both positive and negative components. If you want to rehash some emotive buzzwords in to that spotlight heres an example. A mother of two young daughters is in agonising pain, she wants to end her life because its unbearable. Her husband oushes the argument that that's how she'd like to go. That it's what's best and it's how she would have wanted. She ends her life. Her husband then benefits financially and her kids later find out she was a victim of domestic violence. The law says she was entitled to make that decision and on the surface she seemed of sound mind, full capacity and no history of DV. Her kids have just lost their mother because Rico's Law says that having the right to that decision is more important than policing the boundaries and governance. Now let me feel that tension build up in those gimpy fingers of yours. Nobody is treating anyone like children. We're discussing laws and governance. I'm yet to see a child fully understand the complexity of this discussion.

Tory coalition, followed by Brexit, followed by the pound having parity with the yen, tens of thousands of EU citizens that have just about kept the public sector alive whilst the Tories flog it to their mates all leave, hundreds of thousands of Brits that don't want to live in a racist Singapore on steroids all leave, the average IQ drops to 73, and the country returns to the dark ages, bunting put up everywhere as a nation of mongoloids live off twigs, Uganda holds a yearly concert to raise money for the UK.

They're never going to score 192 runs in 20-odd overs batting like this. Ridiculous

They should have named that brass house he went to after him. Rooney's granny shack or the Dog & Nan.

Fuck Walters, the bad Tory prick.

It's always been that way -- plenty of Peace and Lovers from the late 60's are now Republicans.

Alternatively there's a little arrow in the signature itself. Click on that and there's an option to ignore all signatures.

It's just lies. None of them believe it. There's a core in the party that hate Europe and want out. Johnson doesn't care either way and just wanted a top job, the rest of them are just ruthless careerists hanging on to his coat tails. It's very similar to the republicans. When you build a philosophy based on individualism this is what you get, self service, at any cost. Cabinet meetings supposedly about the public good, but where everyone is working angles and thinking about what they can get out of the situation. That's where you end up with defence secretaries leaking top secret details of meetings to newspapers, or PMs seriously considering breaking laws to get their plans passed.

My favourite show of the year so far. Can't believe the geeky lad is Dennis Quaid and Megan Ryan's son.

Still this. All the alleged drawbacks are bollocks.

Hahahahahahah! Haven't seen that joke yet. It's not often I agree with Rico but he was spot on about you. You're a boring twat with no fucking insight, none at all. Dodging bouncers in the army, lololololololol Honestly, I try to read this thread and enjoy it but I can't because every other post is by you, you cunt. Take a break for five minutes, eh? Fucking garden gnome lookalike pisshead fuck. Fuck you.

You have to be that gorgeous to carry off a surname that sounds like a fanny fart.

Not a single Roger Dean/Yes cover -- good on ya lids.
