Not to make light of issues in the region, but it's an extraordinary comb-over Netanyahu is donning.

It's a great watch. There is the undeniable spectre of his rather rancid personal behaviour hanging over the series, but re-watching the timeline of WWF forming, WCW rivalry, WWF attitude era and beyond is wonderful nostalgia for those of us of a certain vintage.

All bloody social housing 'un all I bet.

I'm not in favour of coal power by any means, but I always quite like seeing cooling towers on the horizon. Engineer in me likes the old fashioned industrial vibes. If you hop off M1(N) at 23a, there's the view of EM Gateway freight depot, flights in from the airport and Ratcliffe all at once.

Saw them in Notts last year and was absolutely class. Enjoy.

With the door wide open too.

I cared about COVID as it killed two family members and one of my employees.

You mean evidence? Not a defence barrister I hope?

Two news reports within minutes of one another. Granted, subtlty has never been a strength of US foreign policy. "Israel said it has secured a $8.7bn (£6.5bn) aid package from the US to support its ongoing military efforts and to maintain a qualitative military edge in the region." "Lloyd Austin, the US secretary of defence, warned that a full scale war between Israel and Hezbollah “could be devastating for both parties” as he urged both sides to accept proposals for a 21 day ceasefire, on a trip to London to meet his British and Australian counterparts. But the senior administration official declined an opportunity to say that there would be limits to US military support for Israel if it embarked on a ground invasion of Lebanon, focusing instead on emphasising the possible costs of full scale fighting to Jerusalem."

Some first hand testimony from a doctor at the COVID inquiry today. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/sep/26/doctor-in-tears-at-covid-inquiry-says-what-nhs-staff-saw-was-indescribable "Some intensive care units in England were so overwhelmed that staff had to put dead bodies in 3-metre clear plastic refuse sacks after running out of body bags, and then immediately put another Covid patient in that person’s bed, he said." “The scale of death experienced by the intensive care teams during Covid was unlike anything they had ever seen before. They’re no strangers to death – they are the intensive care unit. They look after some of the sickest patients in the hospital, but the scale of death was truly, truly astounding.” “We had nurses talking about patients raining from the sky, where one of the nurses told me they just got tired of putting people in body bags." “[One hospital] said that sometimes they were so overwhelmed that they were putting patients in body bags, lifting them from the bed, putting them on the floor, and putting another patient in that bed straight away because there wasn’t time." “We went to another hospital where things got so bad, they were so short of resource, that they ran out of body bags, and they were instead issued with 9ft clear plastic sacks and cable ties. And those nurses talk about being really traumatised by that, because they had recurring nightmares about feeling like they were just throwing bodies away. “These people are used to seeing death, but not on that scale, and not like that, and whatever the figures show you, the experience for them was indescribable … It really was like nothing else I have ever seen, and certainly not like nothing else those teams have ever seen in their experience.” It was just flu though don't forget.

I'm just baffled with Ubisoft. They keep trying to release "AAA" games every six months and are then shocked that they're all absolute garbage when they're out. I've not enjoyed an AC game since Odyssey and Outlaws, Watch Dogs and Skull and Bones (AAAA game lol....) were absolutely terrible. I guess the Ubisoft+ prices mean they need to release stuff with this frequency. It killed EA and Ubisoft are right behind them. Ubisoft had this open world USP that companies have now replicated and improved. Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon are basically the typical Ubisoft formula type game, but are actually really good, unlike actual Ubisoft games who invented the formula. They need to just slow down and release better stuff less often as people are turning away from the formula. Watch Dogs, AC, and Far Cry are the same bloody game nowadays. With the exception of Trackmania, which you can't f**k up, they've not done anything of note for a long long time now.

I was fitted at my club within the week when I last ordered some irons. Length is, generally, easy to figure out as it's based off you're height. It's the lie angle etc you'd want to get fitted for depending on your posture. I'm a similar height to you and have +0.5" but also 2 degree lie angle. Ring around a few pro shops as they all seem to price match club sets if you find it cheaper somewhere elsem

Wouldn't bet on it

Might suggest it's something of a folly to judge professions worth here. He says having stuck the knife into estate agents...

When I used to work for a living, the company pension contribution was the standard 12% from top to bottom between exec and staff so yeah, 28% would have been nice. Pay was somewhat larger though.

Given recent experiences with them, good.

Man City moaning, and taking the moral high ground, about "the dark arts" when they're currently in the dock for 115 charges and have spent the last decade getting away with tactical fouls is a bit rich.

Them losing to Alexandre effing Burke is a bigger crime than the fees IMHO.

It's something that needs sorting if we're to actually get the economy going to the best of it's ability. I have two kids in wrap around care and it costs £400 p/m, I've no alternative and it's just a parent tax. Granted I don't really mind as I accept it as a fact of life and at least it's putting someone UK based in a job and it's all thrown back into the pot rather than sucked out via some US multinational. I'm in favour of it being a means tested benefit to get the most amount of people back in the work pool, kids from more deprived backgrounds actually getting fed (f**k the two-child limit) and making kids attending school more. It is bizarre that they'd offer the carrot of free breakfast club (caveat it's for a select few schools) whilst whacking the WFA. I'm all in favour of means testing every benefit so apply some consistency.
