Kids nowadays just don't know the hassle of trying to change the clock on the video recorder or remember to start the recording timer an hour later.

Always worth sharing. Always.

New Watford manage incoming.

"We don't want you to be punished for working hard". So I'm giving the well-off free childcare by letting staff go from Arts England and the Environment Agency, who clearly do need to be punished, especially if they don't find another job in 3 months the scroungers!

Article comments across the land up in arms about the Social Care reforms that haven't been fully announced yet which basically boil down to "If people can't afford it, let them rot" knowing that those that can afford it will find a loophole to stop them having to pay for it.

Jim Ratcliffe, who was housed at UK taxpayers' expense, sent to a publicly funded grammar school, received a free university education and made his money buying assets from a former UK taxpayer-owned company has apparently "lost confidence in the UK." What more does he want from the UK?

"PGMOL is now called PRO REF. I don't think they're trying to be ironic!" Got to love Mark Chapman.

I presume there's nothing to stop the people of Clacton turning up to the Constituency Surgeries of local MP Nigel Farage dressed all in black and wearing balaclavas should they have a legitimate concern. Apart from the fact he doesn't host Constituency Surgeries of course.

The real reason they've been told to wear the balaclavas.

A great many people have 'legitimate concerns' about a great many subjects. However, I don't see people turning up in balaclavas and a need for a police presence at, for instance, a school PTA meeting.

I'll say this for the Reform party. It's leader and quite a few of it's leadership team are doing their best to get up close and personal with the crisis in our prisons.

I fear for the poor families about to endure a two hour train journey to Skegness with the family I'm sharing a train with to Nottingham. Not least because, at the end of it, they'll be in Skegness.

If you want to see just how fast these companies can move if their own money is at stake, try uploading a clip from a football match where another broadcaster has the digital rights, or new film, and see how quickly it gets zapped. That should be the benchmark for removing CSAM and disinformation.

Nigel Farage blaming the UK's ills on immigrants is like the Premier League's Richard Masters blaming all corruption in football on teams in the Dorset Senior League. Why can people see where the real issue is in football and not in the country?

Discussed yesterday with someone that there is a lot more emphasis on the new PM's "other half" than there has been on previous PMs. A case of the press keeping on digging until they find something? (something other than the North v South battle lines the Daily Mail are clinging to).

Kevin Keegan was probably my first footballing hero growing up. Absolutely delighted to meet him a few years ago and be able to tell him so, and find that he was a humble and very likable guy. RIP

Delighted for Saka. When he's allowed to play the way he can, he can be brilliant.

It's all going a bit Sunday League. Moments of brilliance followed by slapstick attacking It's nuts, and I'm loving it.

A week where one England manager is being chastised for being too cautious days after another England manager was sacked for being too reckless. And a lot of comments on the football manager's nationality from people who derided the abuse given to Rashford, Sancho and Saka in 2021.

Every England player gave their all tonight, let down by a manager that hasn't moved us on from the last manager. You can get away with it against Mexico, but Argentina are a different class going forward. They were terrified of us until the manager fucked it up and handed it to them in a plate.

I notice Argentina didn't go defensive when going ahead.

Too deep, too early. Southgate got battered for going too defensive, why the f*ck did we go it against one of the best attacks in the world?

After all these years, someone's finally added to the Minge flag range.

We are a matter of weeks away from the President of the United States of America being asked for his comments on his political ally in the UK running in an election against a bin. Of course, in the states it'll be referred to as a trashcan and then it'll go all Oscar the Grouch.

McCoist "It's a shirt pull on Mac Allister, but is it enough?" It was enough to deny Egypt their brilliant 2nd "goal".

Resigning as an MP of course means he can take a lot more "personal" donations without having to register them.

THAT WAS FUCKING IMMENSE. THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. WOW Bollocks to going to bed. Well done to each and every one of them. COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!

"Middle Class Tax Raid" scream the Mail on Sunday "on home's over £1.5m" the story reports. "Will affect 150,000 families" it also says. "Mainly in the South East" it doesn't mention, because it doesn't want to be too open in it's "North v South" hatred of the presumptive new Prime Minister.

A local pub is showing the England game but has made it (free) tickets only (to make sure it's just the regulars i think). The Facebook post has three replies from bots saying that, because family members can't make it, they'll happily sell their spare tickets.

No pem for me. The ball's gone and the challenge had nothing to do with whether the player gets the ball or not.
