Ennio Morricone "Theme From For Few Dollars More"

The first of the Ten Hag exodus with United paying for players to play elsewhere.

hahahahahaha

How could anyone think this is in any way anachronistic?

hahahahahaha

Live "Lightning Crashes"

He should go over and boot the ref right in the balls. (Not really, but if this were a just world....)

Work work work....

Mr Bates vs the Post Office Watching E01 now, and what I don't understand is why they didn't sit down with a pad of paper and keep track of what they sold and what they took in. The first time the program said I owed "X" instead of "Y" I'd have the pad of paper out. And the second time I'd be on the phone to the PO to get them to fix it. Don't want to spoil the story, so I'll wait til I'm finished to go see if I can find out why not. (Or perhaps they did, and the PO/courts simply ignored it.) Anyway, very good so far: Jones is spot on as always, as is the female postmistress who pled guilty.

I went with "The Killing Of Crazy Horse" byThomas Powers It's about the interactions between the various tribal groupings within the Sioux nation as they decided to accept American patronage, and how that led to the death of CH. Good book on the subject of why, how and with what consequences the Sioux surrendered their indepenedence.

He's no Bob Ross.

Is that Palace's first attempt (almost) on goal?

That's a yellow. All Will Hughes needs is a corn-cob pipe and he'd be the spitting image of Popeye.

As the reported death toll of the Israeli invasion of Gaza tops 22,000, senior Israeli politicians have grown more explicit in their goal for the Palestinian enclave: the movement of a large number of Gazans out of Gaza entirely. The rhetoric has garnered charges of ethnic cleansing and forced displacement, and a rare rebuke from U.S. officials. But there are no signs of the calls losing steam within Israel. “What needs to be done in the Gaza Strip is to encourage emigration,” Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Sunday. Referring to Gaza as a “ghetto,” he added: “If in Gaza there will be 100,000 or 200,000 Arabs and not 2 million, the entire conversation on ‘the day after’ will look different.” The following day, Smotrich referred to the Jewish settlement of the territory as “important” and said Palestinians should be encouraged to leave the Gaza Strip. The idea of expelling ― or encouraging the “voluntary” migration of ― Palestinians from Gaza, once a fringe view held by extremists like Meir Kahane, has become normalized in Israeli society since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that resulted in the deaths of some 1,200 Israelis and the abduction of 240 more, according to Israeli officials. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said Monday that the current war presented an “opportunity to concentrate on encouraging the migration of the residents of Gaza.” Such a policy, he added, was “a correct, just, moral and humane solution.” And last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told one lawmaker who’d called for “voluntary immigration” from Gaza that he was working to facilitate that movement. “Our problem is [finding] countries that are willing to absorb Gazans, and we are working on it,” Netanyahu said. One unnamed senior source in Israel’s security cabinet (Smotrich and Ben Gvir are both members) told Zman Israel, The Times of Israel’s Hebrew sister site, “Congo will be willing to take in migrants, and we’re in talks with others.” Huffpost

Career Death on the Nile

A new can opener. Zyliss. Injured my hand at work and this thing is a god-send.

Strange, I asked chatgpt to write it in the voice of Walter Cronkrite.

I'm guessing some pretty impressive work done by the FAs on that plane to get everyone out safely. Looks like the small plane hit the big one on the ground, burst into flames and also left some of it's fuel burning under the big plane.

Shouldn't it be "EG"?

Plymouth vs Watford in a downpour ends 3-3. Great entertainment.

McCabe and Mrs Miller

Watching a replay, Jiminez has just nudged him slightly in the back and he's gone down like Willem Defoe in "Platoon".

Looks like the new management bounce is over already.

Yeah, you've got a 1-0 lead, but you just keep giving the ball away trying to play it out from the back even though you can't, because that's how the modern game is played. Who's managing this club? Ange Postecoglu?
