Every sushi place in England I've ever been to has been crap. Whether Brighton or London or anywhere else. At least at the base level. There might be some posh expensive places where it's decent but I've never been to those. I'm always obsessed with filling my face with pasties and sausage rolls...

Draw is ok if we beat Spurs away. Of course beating Liverpool means we only need a point at Spurs.

Ukraine signs minerals deal with USA. According to Auntie: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c20zj5l4jpdt

October last year I wore the stripes both in Kyoto and Osaka and the locals kept stopping me in the street to shout “MITOOMAAA!” So I stopped wearing the shirt as it was rather irritating. I can wear it around Tokyo and nobody gives a shit. I saw my first Albion shirt on a local kid riding his...

They scored 2 goals in the first 15 mins of the 2nd half. But let in a last minute equaliser.

Should've gotten an Oscar for his Doc Holliday. I liked his Top Gun character too.

I think cos I'm 9 hours ahead of UK, and thus 15-16 hours ahead of most of America. I'm generally reading about this silliness on April the 2nd which rather amuses me. Given that Asian countries don't really do any of this nonsense it allows me to look in from afar at how stupid it all is. The...

I suspect Trump thinks he’s gonna be able to “art of the deal” peace in Ukraine. He’ll offer up the deal of Russia keeping Donbas and Crimea. Threaten Zelensky with complete withdrawal of US aid if he doesn’t accept. Maybe threaten Putin with NATO involvement if he doesn’t accept on his end...

Came on when they were already 3-1 up and coasting against a weak Chinese side and pretty much did nothing but take a few throw ins. Total waste of a plane ticket. At least he didn’t get injured I suppose.

Grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

It reminds me of a line in Ready Player One where the CEO of the bad guy evil corporation says "we estimate we can fill 80% of a person's visual field (with ads) before inducing seizures." It's supposed to be a hyperbolic statement set in a dystopian future but lately I keep thinking about this...

I'm guessing his (likely to be actually accurate) internal polling and exit polling is telling him it's bad news in Pennsylvania.
