  1. We had no choice in Afghanistan- well done Biden. Syria has been going on for years, and folk have been leaving continually. We didnt do that much over there- just tackled the chemical weapons bit. Russia did far more damage with its continued support of the regime. The new guys in charge took advantage of Russia's distractions elsewhere, consequently yielding a boost to the numbers of those fleeing. One thing for sure, Europe can't keep absorbing the numbers.
  2. That video- fucking hell. Why run past the initial engine, after trying to climb on it? Absolutely terrible event for those workers to witness.
  3. Aye, a pilot I saw interviewed said the engines can't be accidentally turned off. Too many protections.
  4. Additionally, if definitely greengage, they will remain green, albeit possibly with a lightly yellow hue. They're ready when they are easily plucked from the tree- no great tugging, not branch snapping, but just a fairly easy pull. With this hot weather, don't be afraid to give it a good drink. We have had many flowers and good fertilisation this spring, and there will be an abundance of fruit. Inevitably, some will be shed, but keeping it well watered will help the ripening and yield. Keep an eye out for potential branch snapping if the weight gets too great.
  5. My immediate thought on the fruit tree is a greengage. Fruits not ripe yet of course. Could be a different type of plum, but Google search also says greengage. If you didnt plant it, or haven't noticed it before, then did you have a different tree in there initially? They're sometimes used as a rootstock for other trees, and sometimes they will send up branches from below the graft. This can out compete the intended tree, or the stem of the initial tree may have died off, and the rootstock has sent up new shoots. Rootstocks are used to give a different sized tree, or a more hardy one to that which the intended tree would otherwise have. They grow vigorously and it may also have some quite substantial thorns. Just enjoy the fruit: wait until they're ripe- plump, and slightly soft to the touch. Eat them like any other plum, or if you find them a bit sharp, make pie/crumble/jam or wine with them. They're really good.
  6. All the more reasonable for loads of water and regular feed. Dried chicken muck/nettle tea etc.
  7. As above, we're you complaining about burning effigies of politicians? The usuals.
  8. One the one hand, the boat on the top of this year's construction was distasteful in the extreme, and removing it is the right thing to do. The Sinn Fein councillors should simply address that directly. They cited concerns over the size and proximity to infrastructure, which of itself may be justified. On the other hand, despite similar concerns previously, it tends to go ahead Additionally, they have previously burned effigies of Boris Johnson, and Nigel Farage. Such was the level of concern (minimal) it wasn't (or barely) reported. To tier fear and woke softy bollocks, or legitimate clamp down on threatening behaviour? Discuss.
  9. Give it a bit of a feed, and loads of water. They are hungry, and will grow like fuckery this time of year. Use one with a reasonable level of potassium (potash) in, as it helps with flower formation. May need to stake it too, they can blow over if the wind picks up.
  10. We're still well above them in the table.
  11. First track: it's too hot, and I've got no water.
  12. Quality that. I'm sure SS will soon learn the words! 😁
  13. My front door handle was hot to the touch this afternoon. Can't remember that before.
  14. Why is there a fella, pushing a wheelbarrow, whilst wearing a helmet? Groundsman protecting himself from high balls?
  15. I thought Lawrence was the one doing the pressing. Quite quick, and supported by the wider players. First half we didn't press early. Kept our shape, and when we could, used big Dave's feet and size. Wasn't a great watch; stolid, defensively sound, created little. Bastard hot, pre season friendly. All a bit meh, but a decent win.
  16. I'm not sure we can talk to the player until the clubs agree a fee. Maybe he's being badly advised, maybe they're using us to create interest elsewhere. Maybe they're just cunts. Onwards.
  17. It is indeed. Anyway, overall decent for a pre season friendly. Not much for any of the forwards, though unlike Boris, I felt the second half, we pressed much quicker, from the top. Heat maybe slowed them down a touch, but the game was won. Nothing overly special, but Max Conway stood out particularly for me.
  18. Could it be that until one or two go, we can't bring anyone else in? Could be a money situation. There was a brief reference to the squad by SS.
  19. Don't let the buggers grind you down.
  20. Yet more ignorance on show. Maybe check the news and ongoing events. Of course ignorance typically leads accusations. So I'll lay it out for you. A number of former soldiers have been pursued for decades for alleged offences in Northern Ireland. Despite no evidence, and no charges, they're are repeatedly subject to investigation. Starmer will not stop it. A gravy train for lawyers. Try listening to the stories of those affected. No doubt you wont. Moreover, following the good Friday agreement, known terrorists were released. Distasteful yes, but perhaps necessary. Yet a certain group of mps chose to apply a wholly different approach to our own. Two individuals with the greatest level of criticism of others' intellect being fucking thick. Again.
  21. Anyone who thinks it's OK to constantly chase former soldiers for supposed "war crimes" isn't decent. In fact they're cunts of the highest calibre.
  22. That then is the responsibility of the player and his agent to ensure that adequate playing time will be forthcoming. The club also had to pay wages for someone they won't play. He may well go on loan, but the comments from Rogers did suggest he thinks the lad may have a future there.
  23. Certainly has slid off the back page so to speak. Obviously, if SS wanted him, then if it doesn't happen he may be disappointed. Probably still bubbling under the surface, but at the same time, I wouldn't be greatly surprised if they've turned their attention elsewhere, given the supposed baggage with his agent.
  24. It certainly does look like they'll be inverted, though that naturally reduces/slows down getting to the by line and crossing in early. Doesn't seem to fit with the idea of having a big centre forward to attack those crosses. SS did mention about using him to hold up the ball though, which perhaps suggests he's also looking for these wide players to play off him, and look to score goals. 4-3-3 or 3-4-3?
  25. Where are you seeing all this lot? Heard absolutely nothing, anywhere to that effect.
