Good news @Bjornebye should be safe now if the Sperm smoothies work.

Genuine question, but where does the narrative come from that the labour party is somehow 'supposed' to be what it was under Corbyn, and at all other times it's been some kind of aberration? Foot tried a socialist agenda and got beat badly, Kinnock sowed the seeds of what it would later become and it assumed and held power for years as that party, where, for whatever other flaws it had, was far and away superior to what followed in terms of the coalition, May and now this shambles. Corbyn had his shot, did okay in 17 but still didn't win, then led the party to its biggest pasting since 1935. Now someone seen, right or wrongly as not being as radical as him, elected by a landslide of members, is painted as an infiltrator who's steered the ship once again away from its 'true self'? They also point out unpalatable members of his cabinet while skirting over the fact Corbyn's chosen successor is in his cabinet too, while Rayner, herself pretty left wing, seems at least for now to be supportive. Seems to me the goalposts get shifted in these discussions. People have an issue with liberals or red tories joining labour under blair, but not with greens or people from the myriad of smaller socialist parties joining under Corbyn. I mean fuck, can you imagine if Blair had had his own version of Momentum? Run and funded by an allie, operating in parallel, canvassing, campaigning, gathering its own election data? "Blair's brownshirts" or some shit they'd have been dubbed. We can remove Starmer, remove anyone dubbed 'centrist' (whatever that means) stack the party to the rafters with hard left (whatever that means too), Corbyn, you name it, but the results will be the same at the ballot box. We can't go on pretending that everyone is just ready willing and able to come onboard with a left wing agenda if only Murdoch would give our man a fair crack of the whip. IMO it's just not a left wing country, it's not even an especially political country, you have to play the cards you're dealt.

Wear your dressing gown to the offy.

This Berlin undercard is getting deeeep. I haven’t got a fight pencilled in but I feel like I should be in training already in case something pops up.

My Mother went into care with dementia. She had always been a proud independent woman but with one or two other issues the dementia came and it got to the point that we couldnt care for her and nor could she as she was going to hurt herself....going missing for 24hrs, turning up with her money gone, her handbag empty and shes had a slap.....but the home were wonderful, and someone from our family went every day. Shes gone now and we miss her, and it hurt to place her there, but we knw her last years were good, and the staff were wonderful.

Just become a Grandad for the first time today when my daughter gave birth to a bouncing 9lb 5 ounce baby girl today. I should feel old but it has given me a Cocoon feeling of feeling younger than I should. Will probably be run ragged in a year or so and feel twice as old!

The media were horrendous to Corbyn, they always are to Labour leaders exept Blair. Brown and Miliband got it too but Corbyn got it far worse. But I suspect a lot of what Corbyn genuinely stood for wasn't palatable to a lot of working class folks, rightly or wrongly. For instance, how many working class people have you met who didn't like the Queen, the yanks or the military? Corbyn was perceived as anti establishment, the British working class are probably the most pro establishment working class in Europe (or certainly the English are at least.)

There is a mindset out there that genuinely believes voiding the current season will kill off the coronavirus, thus ending the pandemic and the lockdowns to get life back on track again. Everything will be absolutely fine for the new season simply because this season will cease to exist. People of this mindset are a drain on the world's resources.

I've had one beer during the lockdown too. But I'm going out in a bit and getting some Vodka and Kalhua, and I'm going to get wasted on White Russians tonight.

Loved him as a player but fuck me he spouts some shite these days. Always wander if it's bitterness that he missed the wages of today.

This is Pebbles Dangerously who I can't fucking wait to meet a week today.

I had to stop wanking about George once I realised he was gay. Fucking disgusting.

I wound that back, the original post struck close to home......I read again and I see it was about the stats rather than the people.....my bad. Flying off the handle....I need a drink. MY apologies.

Finally got the ride on mower fixed, now just need to sort the goalposts out after them bastard scots that visited last year

People carrying out their own tests. What could possibly go wrong.

Brady doing absolutely everything to try and cheat her way out of relegation. Transparent piece of shit.

A nice reminder that people can be decent and not everyone is a disgusting tory.

He’s called the kid Wilfred. Willy Johnson. It’s gonna be tough for the boy with a name like that and an absent father.

Haha true!

Covid is the type of shit Simon would create accidently when he's attempting to make Chicken Fajitas.

Assuming the WhatsApp messages are confirmed as authentic - and that surely has to be one of the first things for the panel to ascertain - the individuals responsible will be expelled from the party if they’re still members. If that doesn’t happen it’ll tear the party apart and could easily bring Starmer down. Not even the most obstinate or out of touch NEC members can fail to see that. Beyond that I expect there will be efforts to prevent anything else of significance coming to light, especially deeper structural issues about party organisation, complaints handling and misuse of funds.

If somebody will fly me over to Berlin, expenses and accommodation for the weekend happy to fight anybody on the site except Simon

That fella last night gave it the big I am saying he's a proper quiz expert, national quizzer etc then gets knocked out by the first question about Die Hard. He will not live that down.

Christ, how much did I drink last night? I can't even remember typing that.

Sorry, I wasn't thinking, though there are some grim scenes it's well balanced with some hilarious moments that'll have you slapping the side of your armchair roaring with laughter.

Why wasn't Hancock just honest. We nearly got there but just fell short but setting a high target made us push further and we will continue to push. Fudging figures changing boundaries to manipulate numbers purely to look better is disgusting. It's done with employment and crime figures it should be illegal. Wankers.

They need to make an 80s assasins creed set in Colomendy.

"The Third Man" Mystery set in post-WWII Vienna. A classic, and well deserving that status.

The last episode of series 1 from Derry Girls is great. Sad and powerful. Derry Girls. To be sure.

Other than Popmaster with Ken Bruce there really is no reason to bother with BBC anymore, TV or Radio

Fuck Off

I have honestly not really missed sport at all. It's been going more and more like this for years but this has made me realise I'm just not that arsed outside of our games especially.

The death rate isn't a true indicator anyway. Many have been in hospital for days if not weeks. The media is obsessed with it because it's lazy and thick. Running order: (1) Death figures - no infection, hospitalization or new ICU figures (2) Highlighted death of the day "meet the couple who were supposed to get married but both died instead." (3) "And finally" meet the dancing postman/yodleing fireman keeping everyone entertained during lockdown. Add depressed sighs from Tom Bradburry between each section, throw in some scaremongering non peer reviewed research highlighted earlier that day by the Metro for good measure.

It was this one after she scored against England and took the piss by pretending to drink tea. The absolute hero.

I thought he turned water into wine, not lager?

She was my avatar on here for ages

Fair cop

I couldn't disagree why that summary. I thought it had great potential, the first 2 episodes where enjoyable, mindless, but enjoyable. I christened Elliot, Bruce leeroy. But after episode 3, it became a bit of a parody to the fast and furious movies. It just got sillier and sillier. I won't say anything about the plot (if you can call it that) but the final 2 episodes where just stupid. I haven't seen peaky blinders. Myself and the missus have contemplated starting it, but there's a shit load of seasons and I don't know if I have t dedication in me. It's a big investment isn't it. Is it just an early 1900's version of the gangs of london? If so, I'll stick emmerdale and Michael portillo railway journeys until I can leave the house again

Makes me hate the cunt even more.

Hope Sergio Aguero's texted Kyle Walker today to see if he's also "too scared to play" considering he was perfectly fine having a load of brasses and his mates in his house a few weeks ago.
