    I only recently learned that the instep is the arch on the top of your foot and not the inside of your foot as I'd always thought

    Repped for teaching me something. I thought exactly the same.

     

    Weak shot muthas.

    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.

  4. 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.

    It is utterly baffling to me that anyone "patriotic" could like Donald Trump.

     

    He is a complete dream American president for Russia, North Korea, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, etc. How on earth can you look at him and think "yeah, this guy puts America first"?

     

    He's the sort of crooked fantasist loon that should have been caught by McCarthy in the '50s, rather than the people who actually were. It's completely bizarre. The US Culture War is going to fuck us all.

    FF on the GF but Rafa was 1/6 on to be Celtic manager before Postecoglu got the job. Hope this goes some way to proving that right now those odds are no guarantee of anything. 

     

    Gnasher's quoting bookies' odds in a political discussion. Jesus.

    Was listening to The News Agents earlier and they were going through the numbers on polling, and it’s not as simple as is being made out, hence the safety first stance.

     

    When you do polling you exclude the ‘don’t knows’, this is true of all the main polling companies.

     

    So, in the polls we see where Labour are on 40+ % and the Tories on 20% for example there’s a further 17% of people polled who are not part of these numbers. Only the 100% of people who said they had a firm choice are part of the overall polls, leaving nearly a fifth of people who previously voted not part of the figures.

     

    The deep dive on them is that the majority are conservative votes, based on their 2019 voting.

     

    Thats why people are banging the no complacency drum as once you factor in Reform cutting a deal to stand down, like previous, and these other voters who are ‘undecided’ you actually have a much closer race potentially, as unbelievable as that honestly is.

     

    Yep, it's a soft lead as it is- we've seen these Labour leads vanish before when it comes to actual elections, never mind with nearly a fifth undecided. I don't like what Starmer's doing and think it's self-defeating, but I can see why. Yet again, it's hold your nose and vote Labour it seems, then just hope to fuck they don't squander a government or two and let these thieves back in.
