Very true. My daughter is a teacher of what’s deemed to be a niche subject; Classics. She’s taught it for several years and in the early days of her teaching, it was popular due to being encouraged in being taught in state schools, not just private. Boris was a driver for this. But demand is cyclical. The Odyssey fillum will no doubt spur on more interest via social media and maybe bleed into the curriculum but more recently she’s had to move schools several times as they can only commit to 12 month contracts depending on how many choose the subject. And the pay in those circumstances is not great nor pension.

I remember from my old sticker albums they had a really cool kit.

Tiles or stone floors are a blessing at the mo.

You should have then given him a “wee push” overboard

Ronnie Radford and the subsequent snorkel parka pitch invasion. Alan Mullery volley when footballs were so heavy it was rare to see such a strike

Just hope you don’t get a low pressure system combined with a spring tide. I’ll keep an eye out for you from the Bembridge Coast Guard station as you return to the Solent. 🫡

Was a bit painful for several months afterwards and the specialist said it might be a bit of medial ligament stuck under the plate. But it would ease off. It did ,so they left the plate and screws in. It’s fine now and doesn’t set off airport scanners. Glad to hear yours all ok now.

Had the same high tibial osteotomy @ 5 years ago after several keyhole surgeries and similar recuperation to yours although mine was just after lockdown so we were working from home so I was able to push my mouse around for a bit whilst listening to Steve Wright in the afternoon (RIP). Had a spinal block rather than full anaesthetic and was dosed up on all sorts of wonderful chemicals. Got to take a large bottle of morphine home with me in the world’s best party bag which I still have in case I ever run out of Malbec.

Pulling hair. WTF have we become.

Looks like the Toon getting stiffed again

George O’ghani

They did and that’s my only memory of that game too.

When my mum was a trainee nurse in Brum they’d get sent cheap tickets by the local clubs so she’d watch Villa one week and West Brom the next. She used to go on about Ronnie Allen who was their pin up

Used to have some ding dong (do) battles with the Spartans before they became shit.

Hope he gets to shine in a playoff final again too.

Martin Chivers. Spurs and Norwich lazy goal hanger. when he played for Norwich at Burnden, we came up with the imaginative call “Chivers is a Jelly”. possibly the same game Graham Paddon wore white boots an got cat called.

It’s been a while since I did this sort of thing but it is allowable to arrest a vessel in international waters but only for significant violations including eg drug running which might be the basis of this seizure because normally they’d need a court order from the flag state to enforce it. Because the ( new) flag state of the ship wouldn’t grant the arrest then potentially if the yanks can prove a violation existed in their jurisdiction then they can seize. But jeez it’s complicated. No more questions your honour

Ditto my 2yo Dalmatian is more concerned at the rustle of a biscuit wrapper than an air bomb repeater.

Done. Appreciate what you do to keep the site running.

I’d probably dispute that shipping nowadays is not free from public scrutiny and likewise the ITF have worked with shipping industry to make things better for crew. Most commercial oceangoing vessels are insured with UK/EU insurers who are not only answerable to strict compliance but actually promote welfare of the crew especially in healthcare and family contact when away. Nobody benefits if the crew are unhappy. Rewards for whistleblowers are also significant especially in US so anti pollution measures onboard are also strict and many operators are converting vessels to LNG or alternative fuel. It’s still not clean enough but as you say when 99% (or 96% just to be picky 😉) of what is imported comes by sea then it still averages out at a less per tonne than many other forms of transport. It’ll always be the case that those who pay to ship cargo are critical of the carrier when things go wrong and in the case of the “Dali” it’s going to cost the ship owners an absolute shitload unless they can find a defence as well as every single shipper who has a box on board under General Average. It’ll easy cost in the hundreds of millions if not more.
