Club I'm part of has a poor attitude in my opinion. Talk about 1 club, but many seem to think that means it should be all about the 1s. When they have very low numbers they try and get people like me to come and play for the ones, then try and guilt trip me when I refuse. All that does is make me t...

Mate with American wife and 2 kids (both there I believe), not sure if he was green card or visa etc, but they're considering not going to visit this year, that's a big deal.

Elections are going to be "fixed". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdxq37nxl55o Bigly Thinking in all too innocent ways, I'd have thought the poor and ignorant are less likely to hold a passport than most democrat voters? Then less innocently, I'm guessing that's not really how it's bei...

Am I missing anything?

Yes, the USA need to lift quite a few sanctions on Russia for them to agree to the ceasefire too.

Can we just freeze membership for a few weeks? Enough for this to blow over and people move on.

So having struggled for backs for a season, we've had 3 join in 3 weeks. Suddenly we've got enough pace to put out an actual back 3 :lol: One of them is even solidly going through puberty and everything! Hopefully he'll set an example to the rest of them to get on with it :lol: Raggs is Steve Borth...

Like a lot of this stuff it's not quite as bonkers as the breathless headlines suggest though Is it not? The DoE is roughly there to try and ensure all kids have a fair shake. The ones living in rich areas, already get well funded through state taxes, DoE tries to balance things up. Whether that's ...

Bit of an old thread, but seems a suitable place. Just had my heatpump survey done by octopus, hopefully good to get one fitted for around £1750. Our boiler is old and I suspect on it's last legs anyway, so figured this isn't a bad option. With solar and batteries, it's definitely a sensible choice...

So Krasnov's EOs have killed the database that was tracking the 35k Ukrainian children abducted into Russia. With seemingly a not little chance that the work has not only been stopped, but deleted.

UK institutions are courting US intellectuals to come over. Along with most the EU. Glad we're taking advantage.

I like the idea of having a designated area to allow them to group if they want, whilst not segregating those who don't want to be.

Sounds pretty bad, the Kursk operation may have served its purpose but at a steep cost 'Everything is finished': Ukrainian troops relive retreat from Kursk Ukrainian soldiers fighting in Russia's Kursk region have described scenes "like a horror movie" as they retreated from the front lin...

Krasnov will no longer be monitoring for war crimes in the war in Ukraine. Pulled out with reportedly no concessions from Russia.

It should be a knock on - needs a change to the laws.

You're not allowed to do it deliberately. I think that's sufficient.

Foul play doesn't get mitigation, rubbish call.

Uncle fester wrote: ↑Sat Mar 15, 2025 2:37 pm Can't believe they flashed up "TRY" for Ireland touching the ball down in their own in goal.

So that was it! I was watching glimpses on my phone and wondering why the teams were playing the other way.

Freeman alongside Dingwall should work well, also a bit of size to counter that big welsh fella, Llewelyn? If Slade is capable of walking, I would bet a certain amount on him starting at 12. Why? A near full Northampton Saints back line from 9-13 makes more sense to me than slotting Slade in.

In a shock to no one.

Might be why the USA thought that helping Ukraine out might not be such a bad idea. Even if they only turn the taps on a bit, and who knows what Trump might demand by the afternoon.

US arms supplies and intel sharing have apparently resumed after the negotiations in Riyadh. The supplies are apparently the rest of the stuff agreed by biden, it's not new stuff from trump. Intel will be useful though. Russia might consider the ceasefire once they get kursk, give them time to dig ...

Based on Ontario, Canada, placing a 25% Tariff on “Electricity” coming into the United States, I have instructed my Secretary of Commerce to add an ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff, to 50%, on all STEEL and ALUMINUM COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM CANADA, ONE OF THE HIGHEST TARIFFING NATIONS ANYWHERE IN TH...

Trump wants Zelenskyy to step down in order to resume aid.

The guys either a thin skinned moron, or Krasnov.

VAT on private schools doesn't appear to have actually lead to a mass exodus of pupils. So instead, it'll just be a boost to the coffers.

That's a piss take with Earl. He clearly went down clutching his knee and signalled for the physio. It's not the first questionable HIA this season. It was for blood, not hia. Sorry yes. Well he certainly wasn't bleeding. 😂 Wasn't he? Looks like his knee had fresh wrapping, might have been sliced, ...

Genge is spot on and as ever Jonker with England isn’t interested Ah, it's Jonker. Might have guessed Once you see the pattern unfortunately you can’t unsee it How he didn't show the angle of the Italian player coming round and tackling earl at the back, I don't know. Well, I can guess, but that wa...

That's an awful call...

For mine, I'm going to wait till the mid-terms before drawing final judgement on the US. This Trump 2 version isn't necessarily what a bunch of voters thought they were going to get no matter how brainwashed the worst of the MAGA crowd are. It might not be what they thought they were going to get, ...

A district court judge overruling the President. The 4 judges were right But its likely not over yet They were right that people who've already completed work, shouldn't be paid? Conservative Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh dissented. Alito said he was stunn...

Astonishing that four judges would agree that it's legal to not pay for contracted work that has already been completed. Probably means he only needs another one to start winning everything he needs there, the extra one on his side, would reduce the voices against, and make dissension less likely. ...

Telling as many folks as I can about this, because so would you. Played a friendly 2nds game on saturday, played prop for the first half (first quarter for us, 2nd for them as they only brought 10). 12 a side on a full pitch.

Just to point out that Ukraine is currently making advancements, retaking lost ground and encircling russian troops. This war is not just going in a single direction.
