    I don't mind the guardian but they do have their strange crusades.

    It doesn't surprise me that the guardian and the fucking mail are the most read newspapers online though. Literally every other one are unreadable due to their intrusive adds and pop ups.

     

    Especially anything by Reach (Mirror, Express, Echo, Daily Post, loads of regional newspapers). Their websites are absolutely ridiculous, it's no wonder they're losing tens of millions.

    Not one of their 12.3 millions articles on this utter shite, that affects almost no-one, has a comments section. I imagine because they know even the Guardian readership is going to slaughter them over this.

     

    They actually did have one and you're right, most of the comments were highly critical of this waste of time. Must have learned their lesson after that.

     

    Edit:- think this was the one. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/mar/22/garrick-club-row-women-men

    It’s a shame you can’t neg newspapers, because their weird obsession with the Garrick club is doing my head in.

     

    That's been utterly bizarre, a ridiculous amount of fuss. Everyone knows what the Garrick is, a club for the old boys' network. The main objection as far as I can make out is that they want powerful women to also take part in the clique. They quickly dropped the sexism angle after people pointed out there were more single sex clubs in London for women than men and let's face it, your average wage slave isn't getting in, never mind your genitals . Absolutely none of the 'revelations' they've reported on has been worthwhile.

    If he was telling the truth about the 20K, he’s definitely stolen most of the money because he’s a fucking scumbag cunt.

     

    Its all lies though, he’s a fucking  sad Walter Mitty twat.

     

    Ah now, I'm sure he can link us to a local newspaper article. 200 nonces people taking shifts to row around 3000 miles over several days and raising £20K must have been reported surely?

    Wouldn't they be able to take control of the stadium. Surely any assets would have to be sold to pay back creditors, so the stadium could be used as a way to pay them and others back. Also fire sale of Braithwaite,Pickford and Onana

     

    Dunno, they'd have to pay to finish it first though, wouldn't they? Someone better at finance (ie just about anyone) would know better.

    As I’ve said already, 777 may* have simply handed them a high-interest loan with the intention of never buying the Bloos. 
    It’s generally accepted that the loan is all dependent on the takeover going through. If it doesn’t, 777 get their money back - with a big wad of interest. 
    They’ve got Everton over a barrel, as the club doesn’t have enough cash to keep going. And 777 have it in their own power to present themselves as failing the Premier League’s takeover rules - they control their own fate. 
    777 get their pay day, then Everton suffer a complete meltdown, or an alternative buyer steps in and 777 get their payday. It’s like a leveraged buy-out without needing the hassle of actually buying anything!
     

    *All conjecture, but worth a thought!

     

    It's a nice thought, but unlikely. If they go into administration, there's a good chance 777 won't get their money back, never mind the interest.

    My god is that a pay option for the daily mail!

     

    Yeah, they've got a 'Mail Plus' paid tier now so you pay actual cash to read the dribblings of their more insane opinion writers. Hopefully that'll start to kill off the website.

    It pisses me off when they drop cunts into “safe seats” that don’t even live there. You should at least live in or right next to your constituency. Piss take. 

     

    Unless it's one of the Stoke constituencies- actually living there should count heavily against a candidate.

  10. Really hope this is the case, Curtice is usually pretty much spot on, especially with exit polls. From the Guardian's live politics blog-

    Labour has 99% chance of forming next government, says elections expert Prof John Curtice

    A lot of political commentary in the media is framed by the notion that there is still some doubt about the outcome of the next general election. In part that is just sensible caution, because nothing in life is certain, and unexpected things happen; in part that is because parts of the print media are very rightwing, and find it hard to conceive that Labour can or should form a government; and in part that is because journalism is about narrative, and it spoils the story if you reveal the ending in advance.

    But it is probably time to give up pretending that the Conservatives might win. There are few people in the world of political commentary more cautious than Prof Sir John Curtice, the psephologist and lead election analyst for the BBC, and even he has decided it’s all over for the Tories.

    Curtice told Sam Blewett from Politico that there is now a “99% chance of Labour forming the next administration”. He said the chances of a Tory revival were small and that, even in the event of a hung parliament, Keir Starmer was better placed to become PM than Rishi Sunak. “The Labour party will be in a much stronger position to negotiate a minority government than the Conservatives because, apart from possibly the DUP, the Conservatives have no friends in the House of Commons,” Curtice said

    Hundreds of different channels on various platforms and 9000+ available boxsets on the firestick, and me and the Mrs are recording and watching Kojak each afternoon.

     

    Haha, not quite as far back, but I'm watching Waking the Dead at the moment.

    I joined an old school independent gym in October and it's by the far best one I've used. £33 a month, no joining fee on a rolling monthly contract.

     

    I originally wanted to join a ladies only one but the outdated sexist bastards wouldn't let me!  

     

    Write to the Guardian, they've spent the last week moaning about the Garick club, I'm sure they'd take this up as their next crusade.

    4 years ago. Overdone it on the rowing machine and got an umbilical hernia.

     

    Exercise is not good for you. Consider how many heartbeats the human heart is designed for and then try and use them up quicker by running around in lycra like a cunt.

     

    So, all the while you think you are improving your resting heart-rate down to 50 bpm whilst doing 130bpm exercise....its plain stupid.

     

    I (hope) think you're messing about, but increasing your heart rate to 140 bpm for a couple of hours a week is a good trade off for lowering it by 20 pm for the other 142 hours.

    The gym is a hilarious place.  A large portion of people who spend time and money to go, do stuff they could be doing outside for free. Like cardio. Unless you have and follow a clear weight lifting program and you need specific equipment/can't afford a home gym, it's a scam.

     

    I used to do a fair amount of running, but for 4 months of the year here, the weather's so shit, it's not practical- one time I nearly fell into the road after slipping on a frozen dead mouse. Not only can't people afford a home gym, but most people don't have the room for one. I use a cross trainer, a rowing machine, a fixed bike and half a dozen fixed weight machines. If I wanted to, there are a dozen treadmills, free weights and racks and step machines and the staff there will happily draw up a regime to follow. In addition, my sub also covers swimming, spin classes, a number of Les Mills fitness and aerobics classes and- if I can be arsed- climbing, yoga, Tai Chi, ice skating, curling, badminton, basketball and access to a sauna. At £26 a month that doesn't seem like a scam to me, considering I'd need a garage conversion and several thousand pounds worth of equipment to replicate it without the social aspects.
