There's this shite and then there's Limp fucking Bizkit. A band who turned a load of nice middle class males into utterly fucking unbearable, try hard, wannabe, 'bad boys'. Absolute nuisance when the bellends started to stray from the provincial golf clubs into music bars/clubs. Like Tim Westwood but multiplied by a number bigger than stupid.

Obviously people have looked at the numbers and, I'm sure you're as suprised as I am by this, it isn't new money. It is the defence budget as is with the money we're sending to Ukraine, and other conflicts, on top to create this new number. I absolutely despise these cunts. All of it is gaslighting, everything.

Steak, asparagus w/miso vinaigrette & ginger steak house sauce. Ready in ten minutes.

Don’t mind cold toast.

I think I hate the Imp more than Johnson. Speech he’s just given was an absolute masterclass in performative compassion, assumed competence, insincerity and gaslighting. World leading such and such, based on cherry picked stats, increased spending announced, but incrementally over many years, so just a cheap headline. More importantly though all these announcements cost money, and that’s money that Labour will have to be finding if they win the election as he, and the silly headline chasing policies with him, will be long forgotten. Sham of a man.

62% of teams he’s ever managed against.

You’re getting negged for this shite as well. Limp Bizkit, Limp fucking Bizkit?

Morrisons have the identical ones in a different packet. Lovely stuff.

R4 Today is going off! Full on arguments.

Under normal conditions Arsenal have three games left where you wouldn’t be surprised if they dropped points, City have one and we have one. That doesn’t factor in form teams like Villa, or Brighton/Wolves who can turn it on when they feel like it. Still all to play for.

Bittersweet though as we just miss out on the Europa Conference place and finish 9th after a season of utter dross served up by shitcoat.

Gonna throw this back at you and say the wotsits are better, in my humble opinion of course.

A large share of the royalties from the Whitney version went to black communities in Nashville, around about $10m. She maintained full ownership of everything. The recent Beyonce cover, which is a unique song really apart from the back story, only has one songwriter, Parton, and again she'll syphon these off into charities.

1988 – The Dollywood Foundation Parton originally launched the organization in her home county of Sevier County, Tennessee, with the goal of decreasing high school drop out rates. She then started the Buddy Program, in which Parton gave $500 to every seventh and eighth grader who finished high school.

Parton chose United Way of Humphreys County to receive and distribute the donation at the suggestion of her friend and fellow country music legend Loretta Lynn. 2022 – Dollywood Education Coverage The Dollywood Co. announced in February 2022 that it will cover 100% of tuition, fees and books for any employee who is furthering their education.

Employees can enroll in the program on their first day of employment. 2022 – Pediatric Infectious Disease Research Donation Parton made yet another $1 million donation to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville in June 2022, this time aimed at helping pediatric infectious disease research. The donation will aid Vanderbilt’s Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases to continue its effort in understanding how viruses and bacteria cause disease, understanding and preventing resistance to antibiotics, diagnosing and treating infections in children with cancer and more. 2022 – Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy Parton received the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy in 2022. The award, presented by the international family of Carnegie institutions to honor innovative philanthropists, debuted in 2001 and is normally awarded every two years. It was not issued in 2021 due to the pandemic. And many, many more. Fell free to add your own. She could also knock up a decent tune and sing a bit...
