Priti Patel was due before an employment tribunal in September. Of course, this would prove embarrassing as such things are not heard in private. So an agreement has been reached and we are all footing the bill. The Home Office refuses to divulge how much of our money has been spent. The Home...

Results are in. The proposals are good (Detailed below- credit to Auntie B). This miserable old donkey is highly skeptical, especially after the revelations about recent government conduct (Newcastle United, Super League etc). But I like what I see: Proposals include: A new independent...

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jul/15/nine-mps-free-euro-2020-tickets-gambling-companies Nine MPs received freebies for Euro 2020 from gambling companies. A further little bit of delving shows that Scott Benton is also keen to promote betting shops..... A search of the...

Having watched England's second ever triumph in the Euros at the knockout stage that doesn't involve penalties (the media seem to have forgotten the two-legged quarter final against Spain in 1968- in fact, it is only ever Spain who we have beaten in knockouts) most of us will feel more disposed...

A phrase often used at the moment is 'powerhouse' in reference to a 'major' team in the Euros. So... I've done a table based on the last ten major competitions since 2000. Namely the Euros and the World Cup. As in knockout games there are 'fine lines' between success and failure, points have...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-57619755 Can't help thinking this is part of a very slow reveal to say that there probably is something out there but to normalise the thought process over many years and decades That said, one of the videos that has been shown of a spherical object...

Harlequins play in the English Premiership Final for only the second time today. I was at the last one in 2012, a famous victory over Leicester. Exeter may prove too strong today, but I'm thankful for this rare event. COYQ Before the 2012 final started, Harlequins home ground was open just...

As another crisis hits the government's many faces, the inevitable sponge of ''What the public really want to hear is.....' will doubtless wipe the residue and the silliness of accountability will slide away as our attentions are re-focused on what really matters. But the question is. What DO...

Illingworth St Mary’s CC batsman scoops a six to the boundary backward of square... And rather wishes he hadn't... 1406619121022820358 Great with the sound on. :lolol:

Has anyone just seen the MIGHTY Harlequins win the most incredible Premiership match ever ? 28-0 down, Quins STORM back to take it to 31-31 at full time and win in a tense extra period. :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap: The only downside being the limit on capacity at the final means I might...

Like last year, the tournament is a virtual European Championships- and here are the rules: 1) All entrants to put there names below as well as the European nation they wish to represent. You can choose any country. They don’t need to have qualified for the Euros. Please check above your entry...

A nice afternoon spent sitting with a dear friend and her daughter in the park enjoying a catch up after a long time. I'm informed by my friend that her daughter, who has various disabilities, is getting personal help from a trainer who's work is paid for by Albion in the Community. Her...

The advice of the NSC banner on my feed. Is it nice this time of year ?

In an attempt to make the abusive nature of the internet more worthy, I happened across the Shakespearean insult table. We are mindful how online abuse has got out of hand, so why not make your insults a badge of quotable honour whilst by-passing all filters. Better to be droning beef-witted...

The Daily Express headline that reads like an Enid Blyton novel. Apparently our wealthy outpost needs protecting against the massed ranks of a few fishermen and their shaking fists. 100 French vessels will be sailing to Jersey this morning, farting in our general direction, and returning in...
