    I wonder what today will bring. Apart from Boris on his white steed, flying in to save the day.

    Bbc news had this picture of him on holiday (whilst parliament are sitting, clearly they dont have enough paid holidays). Most notable thing about it is he has combed his hair. Almost as if that messy, ruffled look is something that is cultivated and coiffured as part of some public image related nonsense. How do people buy into this when he's so transparent?

    There is little that is more on brand for that ****, than dereliction of duty as an mp to **** off to the Caribbean, 2 months after ****ing off on holiday whilst PM, followed by a mad dash back when he has a whiff of a power grab.

    Thank god for that.

    Shame they havent added a game to the ban for a flagrant appeal or whatever the terminology they used to use is.

    Either way, good news that the ban stands. Wouldn't surprise me if we play with 10 for the next 3 games though as Smith doesn't seem able to put a team out without Captain Pointsalot, regardless of how **** and ineffective he is.

    OMFG. IM SEEING BON IVER ON MONDAY!!!!

    Feels like it's been a lifetime coming around. I booked tickets about a year ago and since then I've had the most insanely difficult year with my partner's mum going from perfectly fine to dying 4 months later, a toxic ex, and moving 80 miles - new job, new house etc. Basically every kind of stress that could have happened, has happened.

    I am so excited for this gig, its going to be so good. Feels like I've earned this one!

    44 days. Shortest lived PM in history and she managed to wreak absolute havoc. To tank the economy and people's futures in the way she has done is criminal. Never thought I'd see a worse PM than Boris, but he's not even the worst one of this year. Pathetic.

    Whoever takes over has absolutely zero mandate from the electorate. 

    Any Tories with a shred of integrity recognise the need for an immediate GE, but they won't because they're a bunch of sef-serving lickspittles who are only interested in their own interests, and not the country's.

    This is the worst Parliament (on all sides of the fence) in living memory.

    Lost my streak last week. Hadn't had covid at all but then caught it last week. Felt like I'd been hit by a truck for a couple of days but I'm mostly fine now. Had a weird experience with my taste. Most food tasted normal but anything with vinegar in was vile. The vinegar flavour was distorted into a really overpowering chemical type flavour. Odd.

    I got put off by the ticket prices when I looked on Viagogo but that was prior to general sale, so I might look again.

    I'll have to check out those collaborations you mention above. Some of the YouTube videos of his drumming skills are mind blowing.

     

    Seated is 60- 80, standing rear 90, standing front 105ish

    Another thumbs up for Blink 182 and yes, Travis Barker is awesome 👍

    Managed to get seated tickets in a presale for Manchester. Standing tickets in Birmingham is what I'm actually shooting for, but pretty much 0 released on the presales so I'm going to have to pile on it on general sale Monday morning (when il be in an airport awaiting a flight). Nice to have a back up plan that means il defo see them though.

    Agree on Travis. He's done a lot to single handedly revive the genre over the last few years. Heavily involved with MGK's 2 pop punk albums and a lot of collabs with Jack kays, Willow, mod sun etc. The man is a machine.

    4-0 Philly!

    Looking like the hype train might be real for once. Only fly in the ointment is the Cowboys managing to go 3-0 with Cooper Rush under centre. I'm not worried about the Giants (or the Commanders, sorry @kick it off) but the Cowboys keeping pace despite injury issues is annoying. 

    No offence taken. We have decent WR and Wentz is playing ok, but the O-Line is killing us this year. Absolutely atrocious every play. Our defense have been ok considering they're always on the field. Philly looking good, they murdered us last week. Cowboys will fizzle out, they're not that good.

    Got a move in date finally!

    Moving in on Friday so have now been able to empty my bank account buying furniture etc (ex had everything when we split). Really excited to start a new era now 🙂

    Finally made it into the house last fri. Bed frame didn't turn up and wardrobe is like trying to solve some kind of cryptogram puzzle but in the house and getting sorted now. Finally starting to be able to relax a bit 😊

    Anyone seen Pistol on the Disney channel ? Steve Jones version of the Sex Pistols story, all a bit panto and with a fair bit of embellishment but still quite watchable 

    Yeah thought the actors playing Johnny R and Malcolm McDonald absolutely killed it. Really excellent acting to capture their little mannerisms so perfectly.

    Thought the show was watchable but I wasn't deeply into it, which was a shame because I had really looked forward to it

    Yeah, the myth about tax-payer funding is a lie spread by avid republicans. The Crown Estate is the property of the monarch as corporation sole. Revenue from the crown estate goes to the treasury and 25% goes to funding the public functions of the monarchy; funding the monarchy costs the taxpayer nothing. In fact, the public receive hundreds of millions annually from the Crown estate. 

    Take away the monarchy and all you have is more land for the two main parties to sell to friends cheap. 

    Same difference - they have massive personal wealth - that 25% should also be going to the treasury. The principle stands regardless of the semantics.

    Surprised to learn that the crown estate owns almost all the seabed around the UK for a distance of 12 nautical miles which is now worth £5  billion to them as a result of the sale of seabed licences for windfarms. 25% of the profit from sales is returned to the royal household as the sovereign grant .

    Exactly. They have enough money. Why on earth should any of the seabed belong to them. This is why I'm anti monarchy. How much good could 1.25 billion pounds do for the public in this climate... sickening.

    Second after ten games with 2pts per game and people aren’t happy.  Do they realise how many players we have missing? I think it was 10 at one point, including 3 x lb, and most of our defensive midfield.  It seems there’s absolutely no allowance for that, in part because there’s a bonkers feeling with some that under Farke we’d have been sreamrollering sides 7-0 and been on 30pts right now.

    We'd have at least 46 points by now if our Daniel were at the helm.
