I'll be gutted when that place shuts down!

You can get fish chips peas and gravy twice and still have change from a tenner!

Absolutely mental

I know it's not Evatt - but remember the prodigy that was Alex Samizadeh? He went on to score 9 goals in his career. 2 for Chorley and 7 for Leatherhead.

Hunter's is the thinking man's bakery. And only a 2 minute walk to Bolton's best chippy by a country mile, Bennett's Lane.

Exactly what I was coming on to say. The whole presidential pardon thing seems really weird to me. The US President has more kingly powers than our king ever will do! Plus - this does exactly the thing that I've accused DT of doing for years now, ie undermining the institutions that make the US what it is.

This situation in Aleppo isn't working out well for Putin. Although I've got my reservations about the groups these rebel forces are made up from. Who am I supposed to stick up for. No wonder there are so many Syrian refugees if those are your options.

One man who could have conceivably made me vote Tory

I don't think he's got any choice but to say that. After the blood that's been spilt.

Fascinating interview with Zelensky on Sky News of you get a chance to watch it. He's hinting that he might concede the land Russia already occupies in return for NATO membership for the remainder of Ukraine. With a move towards getting those territories back via diplomacy in the future.

There have always been signs! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2024/02/03/my-saturday-gregg-wallace-autistic-son-weight-loss-alcohol/

Poor mans Nlundlu's

Assist for Bradley! 👍

Best thing I've seen all week. JDC taught him that! 🤣

Yep. Pathetic really!

Well that was fucking dreadful

To be fair - there are loads of reasons why you would do a biopsy instead of an MRI. Only a biopsy can definitively indicate it's a cancer. MRI is just a puzzle piece. The biopsy will also help determine the type and how aggressive the cancer is. It's also used for cell analysis to determine the best course of treatment. Hopefully this is a bit of reassurance. And best wishes to your friend 🙏

Fermi Paradox solution #5271

Yeah with his left foot for Dion's missed header. Probably a little too much pace on it to be honest.

The algorithm might - if it thinks there is a good chance you will engage with the content it throws up. And it doesn't care whether that's because you really love that content or really hate that content. The bots are something different. The bots are the fake profiles that ping up and start replying to you. Which can get you even more riled.

😁 - no. I'm scared of catching one! Ever since I thought I'd accidentally caught a stingray in Australia - and was surrounded by Aussies giving me advice on how to real it in for about 20 minutes, before landing what appeared to be a triangular piece of copper piping!

Case in point. On Facebook - I started arguing with some flat earthers. The algorithm now continually bombards me with * Flat earth pages * We didn't land on the moon pages * Vaccines are part of an Illuminati mind control programme pages * The pyramids were built by aliens pages * Chemtrails pages * There is no Nandos at Middlebrook pages So basically it has figured out what it is that pisses me off and then bombards me with it so that I will interact - which strengthens the algorithm even further. Much of my time on Facebook was devoted to constantly pressing the 'not interested' button to try and 'clean up' the algorithm. Basically I've realised this is pointless which is why I've largely sacked off social media altogether these days. Similarly - if your politics is to the left, it bombards you with things which will make you want to argue and engage. Not sure whether this happens in reverse or not? What an utterly shite and depressing system that is though!
