Agree with all that ! And just to be clear, I'm not part of the "why bother" parade.

I suppose part of it might be a natural follow on from the argument that the UK's actions will make little difference when you have the likes of China, India etc polluting and contributing to Global warming in such a disproportionate way.

 If a country of 60 million plus can make little difference, what difference will little old me make if I use or don't use my tumble dryer?

Well Arsenal have kept Sky happy by ensuring the league won't be decided until the last game.

United played well considering their poor form and injury problems. They actually dominated possession.  Arsenal were quite poor but only one thing mattered (well 3 things)

Quote from: Slim on May 11, 2024, 11:49:45 AMIn other news - I must say I find it distasteful that Israel have been allowed to take part, in the present circumstances. Classic Israeli selfish disregard for other people of course, considering the trouble they've caused. Hopefully the crowd will make their feelings known.

Pity they didn't get knocked out in the semi. Oh dear, how sad, never mind!

Fascinating and uplifting to read that the mRNA type of vaccine is showing promising results in trials to use it on certain types of cancer.  I've no doubt that this was in the pipeline anyway but the COVID pandemic has, you would imagine, allowed this research to happen more quickly

Do you mind me asking what you paid for Gilmore - I'm hearing some are paying €249 - that sounds way ott unless he's cooking you a meal after the gig and serenading you both with his acoustic?

Are Hackett tickets similarly priced?

Some straight jacket thinking nearly did for me there about half an hour

was lucky enough to start with a word ending -ve - that v seemed to  cause everyone difficulty!

Good recovery after another stupid mistake on line 3. No football to blame either! Couple of minutes.
