  1. Posing prick can’t help looking at himself on the big screen
  2. In order to prepare for his role as Luis Fernandez in Escape from victory (1981) Pele played over 20 years of professional football winning 3 world cups.
  3. Most bitters will suddenly lose about 10lbs when Rafa's gets the job.
  4. Savage might have mentioned that foul once or twice.
  5. Yeah there’s more goals for Denmark here
  6. Was that a few million dropped of Neco’s value there
  7. "He says if I sack him he'll smash up my Barry Manilow record collection Rita."
  8. The fall guy didn't fall quickly enough, so they helped him fall quicker. All attention will be removed from Johnson and Hancock will take the blame for everything. As it was always supposed to pan out.
  9. I totally disagree, I don't think anyone is pretending we have an empire. The Russians have been playing around on the borders of our airspace for decades and will continue to do so, they do similar things with UK waters. It's a tedious game between the countries and can alarm its citizens but it won't stop. They no doubt expect us and other countries to retaliate, that's part of the game. None of the countries want mutually assured destruction but these games are constant tests. While we on our own have almost no defence against them, (apart from nuclear) we have little option but to push back on them. Even if it gives them a laugh.
  10. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/05/31/australia/australia-somerton-man-mystery-intl-hnk-dst/index.html University of Adelaide professor Derek Abbott first heard about the Somerton man in 1995, and has spent several years campaigning for his body to be exhumed so scientists can analyze his DNA to determine his identity. The exhumation finally happened last month in the city's West Terrace Cemetery, where the Somerton man was buried in 1949, under a headstone marked "the unknown man". At the grave site, South Australia Police Detective Superintendent Des Bray told reporters the exhumation was about much more than closing the file on one of Australia's most-intriguing cases. "It's important for everybody to remember the Somerton man is not just a curiosity, or a mystery to be solved. It's somebody's father, son, perhaps grandfather, uncle or brother, and that's why we're doing this and trying to identify him," Bray said. "There are people we know that live in Adelaide, they believe they may be related," he said. "And they deserve to have a definitive answer." Those people include Abbott's wife, Rachel Egan, who he met after sending her a letter to explain why he thought she may be the Somerton man's granddaughter. After a single dinner dominated by talk of death and DNA, the pair decided to marry. They now have three children, a girl aged 8 and twins aged 6, and they are all are waiting to find out Mr S's true identity. "Whether he's related to one of us or not, we've kind of adopted him into our family, anyway, because it's him that has brought us together," said Abbott. "His cause of death isn't really what is of interest anymore. It's more who was he and can we give him his name back." The remains are now in the Forensic Science SA lab in Adelaide where scientists are determining the best way to analyze them. Linzi Wilson-Wilde, director of Forensic Science SA, said the process had been complicated by the length of time the remains had spent in the ground, and the embalming process. "Embalming chemicals are designed to preserve remains, but they do that by breaking down the protein inside the body, so that there's nothing available for bacteria to consume. It does have a very detrimental effect in degrading the DNA," she said.

  12. New season 5 started on 21 June on E4.
  13. How am I going to be an optimist about this?
  14. Mobile operator EE will charge new customers extra to use their mobile phones in Europe from January. Those joining or upgrading from 7 July 2021 will be charged £2 a day to use their allowances in 47 European destinations from January 2022. EE previously said it had no plans to reintroduce roaming charges in Europe. It is the first UK operator to reintroduce the charges since the Brexit trade deal was signed at the end of December. Since 2017, mobile networks in EU countries have not been allowed to charge customers extra to use their phones in other EU countries. There are some "fair use" limits, for example, you cannot get a mobile phone contract from Romania and then use it all year round in Italy. In January 2021, EE, O2, Three and Vodafone all stated they had no plans to reintroduce roaming charges, despite Brexit giving them the option to do so. EE said on Thursday that introducing the charges would "support investment into our UK based customer service and leading UK network". However, it will not charge UK customers extra to use their phones in the Republic of Ireland. Customers travelling to the 47 affected countries will be able to buy 30-day passes to use their home tariff abroad. The cost of those will depend on which tariff customers are on. On Wednesday, it was reported that O2 was going to reintroduce roaming charges. However, it is merely adding a "fair use" data cap of 25GB a month and will not charge customers more to use their phones in the EU. Fair use limits are normal and were allowed when the UK was still part of the EU. From next month, Three will be reducing its fair use limit from 20GB a month to 12GB. The UK's trade deal with the EU says that both sides will encourage operators to have "transparent and reasonable rates" for roaming, but it did not ban charges. The government's guidelines encouraged people traveling in Europe to check with their mobile operators to find out about any roaming charges.
  15. In Russia up until 2011 it was mandatory for all first aid kits to contain a small bottle of vodka.
