    [Albion] Premier League 9-10/11/24

    Good. If we can't catch forest in the next run of fixtures i suspect we will have only ourselves to blame. Happy to have the saudis below us. And always happy for them to lose.

    [Palace] #cpfc

    With Newcastle, Chelsea and Man City available, there are far more hateable clubs. I still maintain a dislike of Palace purely out of duty, but it gets harder and harder over time.

    [Football] De Zerbi offers to resign as Marseilles coach

    Some things I am loathe to get judgemental about. Roberto was high maintenance but when fully firing gave us brilliant football. He obviously found it difficult to keep the energy high when things started to slip away. That's who he was and frankly the only thing that suprised me was how little...

    [Albion] Igor Julio - SINGS for 4 years!

    He' was never really shit. He was ok, and a decent back up. And he's been very good for several games now.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City *** Official Match Thread ***

    I am not usually one for the 'big six bias' theories, but hard not to see it tonight.

    [Politics] Donald Trump, US President

    Problem is, to understand the very obvious truth of this you need some interest in, and knowledge of, the rest of the world. Also at least a very basic understanding of economics and politics. To the majority of the world labelling the Democrats as 'radical left' is to put a neon sign over your...

    [Technology] Has anybody come off of Twitter / X? How easy did you find it?

    Been off it for a long time. And never been on any other social media beyond here. Thoroughly recommend getting off social media. In general I feel better informed and healthier. Twitter had aleady turned into a cesspit. And now it's a cesspit owned by a c*unt. I won't be going back anytime soon.

    [TV] What's good to watch on BBC iPlayer ?

    Apologies if already been mentioned, but had a scroll back and couldn't see it. Mr Loverman is excellent.

    Edit - got my conversions wrong. As I had suspected. Ignore!

    [Misc] Kemi Badenoch confirmed as new Tory leader

    according to the internet an acre is 'roughly the same size as a football field'. So more like 50 football fields. Which doesn't seem way out to me.

    [News] British monarchy “making millions from taxpayers”

    I assume that if we were to abolish the monarchy, these estates could be returned to government ownership? Thus saving the taxpayer many (many) millions? Strange if so as all the 'economic analysis' I keep getting told about insists that the RF makes us money? I guess you have to set the income...

    [Misc] Kemi Badenoch confirmed as new Tory leader

    100% in favour of 'going after the investors', via equalising income tax on CGT and dividends etc with tax rates on income from work (think the CGT thing has maybe happened? I've not followed everything) and through other forms of wealth tax. Different discussion though. This tax is aimed at...

    [News] British monarchy “making millions from taxpayers”

    If you engage brain gearage you realise the argument you are making is simply an argument against democracy. Which seems silly.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Think you are falling for the spin from the wealthy landowners and TV celebrities cos-playing as farmers. No idea why the discussion on this seems to have developed over on the Kemi Badenoch thread, but the last two posts there may be helpful.

    [Misc] Kemi Badenoch confirmed as new Tory leader

    Indeed. One of the problems with introducing wealth tax of any kind is that, almost by definition, you are upsetting people who are rich, powerful and control large parts of the media. Another problem (as with almost any form of new tax) is that it is usually possible to find someone that will...

    [Food] Eating out. Is it all that?

    Foodwise, it only really seems worth it if the food is significantly beyond anything you could cook at home. At which point it inevitably becomes so expensive that it doesn't seem worth it.
