How I Wrote Elastic Man

A world cup ain't a world cup without a Pakistani car crash

I certainly do have an invisible Aston Martin. Here it is... Send me £1000 and you got yourself a 2 hour test ride 😊

I saw both of those while googling the claim that over 200 of the 321 Palestinian immigrants had committed a crime. There isn't a lot else available on the internet to provide any perspective to this story. Unless maybe I set my VPN to a .dk domain

Here's the story A copy paste in quotation marks, below "1991-1992: The Palestinian Cases In the summer of 1991, over 300 Palestinians from Lebanon had their asylum applications rejected, and the reason given was that the conditions in Lebanon were becoming more peaceful and that there were therefore no grounds for asylum. The asylum seekers were to be sent home. In September, nearly 100 of the rejected asylum seekers occupied Enghave Church in Copenhagen and later Blågårds Church, also in the capital. The priest and a united congregation gave the Palestinians ‘church asylum’, that is, protection under the sanctity of the church, a principle that has existed since Roman times. This type of protection does not have legal status in Danish law, but the authorities were in any event very reluctant to violate it. The occupation of the church created a lot of attention around the case and led to a people’s movement that demanded that the Palestinians should get permanent residency on humanitarian grounds. The Conservative Minister of Justice Hans Engell (b.1948) rejected all appeals indicating that the cases had been treated according to the rules, and that the legal provisions allowing residency for humanitarian reasons were intended only for individuals and not for groups consisting of hundreds of people. In January 1992, a Member of Parliament for the Social-Liberal party, Elisabeth Arnold (b. 1941), addressed parliament on the issue. She put forward a bill that would give the group of Palestinians permanent residency for humanitarian reasons given that they had already been in the country for more than a year. Arnold soon got support from SF and the Social Democratic Party. On 27th February 1992, the bill passed into law with a majority carried by parties that were not in fact in government allowing the 321 Palestinians from Lebanon to obtain permanent residence permits. ‘The Palestinians' law’ has subsequently been heavily criticised for breaking with the usual legislative practice and the rule of law because it was about specific people and did not apply to others. The law was equally important due its undermining of the asylum system. At the time, the law further polarised the debate on immigration; an opinion poll showed that less than 20% of the population supported it." Many other Palestinians, other than these 321 live, or have lived in Denmark. It would be interesting to see the crime rates for those people, as a comparison

2 games on in the pub Eng v Italy & San Marino v Denmark San Marino have just equalised after 60 minutes....the scenes on the pitch were like they had just won the world cup I'm sure they'll lose 4-1, but they are loving that goal right now

I think he was googling the Wide Awake Club and got a bit lost

There'll be dancing in the streets of Kabul tonight......if that sort of thing is allowed

England in a bit of trouble at 68-3 chasing 285 against Afghanistan

According to Wikipedia , 3 years ago! The Ireland v New Zealand game that's just finished would've made a great final

I went to NZ around 10 years ago From memory, Dunedin seemed to be particularly Scottish

Interesting article featuring Kristján Loftsson in The Guardian We can carry on forever I'm totally against whale hunting, however it is important to consider the views of the last guy in Europe who still does it (Fin Whales, anyway), at least to try to understand his motives. I'm not sure of some of his claims, such as iron deficiency being the world's biggest health problem and donating to the Left-Green Movement, but I'm pretty sure he has a good handle on the local politics, given his links with the independence party. A bill has been proposed to ban hunting which should hopefully come before parliament prior to a new licence being awarded. And hopefully gets passed. Whaling isn't a big tradition, hardly any locals eat it, it doesn't generate much, if any, profit and is a stain on the reputation of Iceland

I was surprised Love on the Terraces hadn't been mentioned earlier According to the internet, the lyrics are as follows, though I think you are right, there are some different versions. I recall a reference to the Barclay stand in the song I know and love... Her name is Sharon, She came from Clover, Her sister Karen, A little skinhead, She liked football, She liked snooker, She liked A Certain Ratio, She liked the Monochrome Set, Love, love, love on the terraces, Love, love, love on the terraces, Love, love, love on the terraces, Love, love, love on the terraces, At the stadium, By the river, Buying her programme, And a silk scarf, She had a nice face, And blonde hair, She wore a tracksuit, She was beautiful! A goal at halftime, The same as last week, The crowd erupted, As the goal went in, The match got lively, And the fight broke out, I ran for cover, And then I saw Sharon. (spoken) Yeah, I'll always remember the day I met Sharon. There was chaos all around. We looked over. Our eyes met. We fell in love. It's as simple as that. Love, love, love on the terraces (x3) Me and Sharon, Love... (x3), She'll never walk alone, Love... (x3), She bought me a bovril, She stole my heart, Love... (x3) She nabbed my programme, She broke my heart. EDIT - I'm sure those lyrics are not right. I'll give the song a listen and update

I think it's fair to say that Clive wasn't a fan of the team we had in the 70's😊 Not safe for work or family. If anyone is offended by Clive's opinion of us, I suggest they turn off before the bit about what the gorilla does with his wife

I think questions like this are best left to the experts 🙂

This is what happens when people throw shít away 😢

Sweet Briar Marshes has got an article in The Grauniad 🙂

I used to go as a kid in the 70's with my old man to some 1st team and reserve games... but I was more interested in Liverpool in those days, to be honest 😳 I remember trying to watch part of a game from the top of a block of flats on Argyle Street in the early 80's, prior to going into Carrow Road after the gates were opened in the second half. Then I was hooked, at least until the premier league started... So I nominate that block of flats as my inspiration...along with my old man 🙂

HS2 is not dead It's just being revamped

Norwich v Arsenal 11 v 11 1952 FA cup?

Perhaps someone should point Greg Hands towards the rules for the election of the leader of the conservative party, which allows for 15 year olds to vote

Based on this, I go for exing....though there is an additional dash symbol included....and the context is different.....but I'm not letting that stop me from posting a Queen Adreena link😃....or should it be "Queenadreena" 🤔

I used to drink a bit further up King St. back in the 80's. The Nags Head....I think it is called "The last pub standing" now. Or something similar, as it's the only pub left on the street. I was in there a few months ago, during my last visit to Norwich
