The heydey of Viz was absolutely superb. It all seems a bit old hat nowadays and the writing is nowhere near the same standard. Plus of course 'it's not as good as it used to be' 😁

There's 2.5 million people in Gaza. Take out the estimated 30,000 Hamas fighters from that number and there's 2,470,000 potentially wanting to cross the border into Egypt.

🤣🤣 He's only 8, give him a break. He wrote to him and sent him a drawing when he found out Charles had cancer. I think they'd been talking about it at School. I've not got the heart to tell him I'm a republican - so we'll have that chat when he's a bit older. Still - fair play to Chaz (and his team of correspondents) As far as my son is concerned - the King wrote this himself while sat on his throne with a crown on! 😁

My lad got a card off Charles today! 😁

This is not a parody. Repeat. This is not a parody.

Nigeria were supposed to be organising a UN peace keeping mission, but the President in exile managed to make a mess of the agreement. US and others are calling for the President to stand down which might alleviate tensions, at least a little. The problem is how to intervene without appearing to be a colonial power. Which is maybe why the Nigeria plan was appealing. You're right though - it's an absolute nightmare.

Surely he's planning on 'making America great again, again'?

To make it even more difficult - once people are starving - it's not as easy as just starting to eat again. You can get refeeding syndrome, which can kill you. Those people will need proper medical assistance.

I refuse to do anything with Burpees involved

I'm with Leyther. I reckon Jerome has got an important goal in him. De freitas style! 😁

He's not though has he. We might have a few problems. But Cogley isn't one of them.

I swear, if I hear a Tory MP say 'Labour Don't have a plan' on telly one more time I'm going to stick my foot through the screen!

I thought we played very well. No stand outs admittedly but as a side we were streets ahead of Derby.

I was on about Derby's subs. We're just really thin on numbers. Ordinarily we'd probably have are starting strikers on the bench and Mendes Gomez ready to bring on too. Been so unlucky with injuries haven't we? But that's football!

And all 5 of those subs were fucking shite

Hard to be that annoyed with them. I hate it when when we don't turn up to games like this. But we dominated Derby for 80 minutes and created a few decent chances. Derby defended well saying that but we're always going to need a set piece to break us down. I'm gutted with the result but not the performance. Plenty of twists left if we carry on playing like that.

They've brought a midfielder on for Gayle. Seems to have tipped the balance in their favour

Not sure about Coleman's positioning for that free kick

Awful defending from that set piece. Should probably be 1-1

I know it's an anxiety provoking match when my fingers go cold! 😁 Come on - we can get through this! 🤣🤣

Ah OK. I suppose I was specifically talking about Bolton. Can't vouch for anywhere I haven't lived.

Maybe? I'd say that's the exception rather than the rule though. Maybe I've just been unlucky. What area are you in?

This is absolutely superb! 🤣🤣 https://www.facebook.com/share/v/nT9WLidttApgaVDz/

I agree with this as well and have been saying it for years. People don't like to hear it - but some of the immigrant communities I see around me feel more like the Bolton I remember of old. Wanderers is one of the last White British working class community institutions in the town. And even that has been sanitised. We don't do church anymore. Pub and club culture has died a death. Most of us do well to even have a relationship with our next door neighbours. It's an unhappy place to live in general. I've lived in places that are relatively impoverished but where people seem happier because of social ties and a sense of community. I wonder if we've gone too far to ever really get it back?
