Faes gives away a penalty v France

I read that they’d left en route back to Nigeria

People read and interpret in line with their base point. Nothing written in here is going to change that. id like to think that some may appreciate another perspective a little more than they had in the past - not much else.

‘Causing climate change ‘ that’s a big statement our actions are part of the jigsaw. I’d say that our contribution is vastly accelerating the current natural warming pattern beyond what is likely to be a sustainable level for the planet to regulate for the future survival for vast numbers of ours (and many other) species. Maybe it’s semantics but if it were framed a little differently then you could have a better chance of bringing some of those on the fringes of the ‘neeersayers’ with you. Some of those make the argument that the warming is just part of what has always happened with the planet (which isn’t false) without being honest about the pace of change. A few degrees average rise over the course of a millennia maybe something that the planet would manage to regulate itself. Over a hundred years will not be.

Too late to do anything about it now given the log jam of existing requests on sipps and pensions. if you’re managing your own portfolio and able to so it quickly then I reckon your decision should be based on when you think you’re going to need to access your tax free lump sum. (Ie. Within the next couple years). Fwiw, recent noises are that reeves has decided against changing the 25% limit at 269k.

Given that most players are technically brilliant with a ball, I’d say that the mental side of the game is the most important at the elite level

I’ve been moving a stocks and shares isa into fixed rate cash options and the service has been so slow my FA says that the funds don’t have the manpower to cope with the current pre budget demands

Some chat that the USA are installing THAAD units in israel this weapon is primarily for intercepting ballistic missiles as they re enter the atmosphere and drop quickly towards their target. video from iran’s recent attack show many explosions near nevatim airbase as missiles fall quickly to ground we don’t know if these were left by Israel because they weren’t picked by defence systems to be headed towards somewhere important or if Isreal’s systems were overwhelmed and unable to intercept them. you could maybe take the instalment of THAAD as indicative of the latter and therefore have Israel accepted they won’t strike Iranian nuclear sites (and perhaps will only strike what the Americans will agree with) in Iran in exchange for the defensive systems being sent there. there is a possible explanation that the Americans want to test their system in real warfare situation

No thanks the yanks don’t spend their dosh and we don’t generate our own

Of course it is is anyone disputing that ? The question is how much we are contributing to the upper level and what I consider to be more relevant, the speed of change most available evidence is considerably on both our hope is the the planets natural ‘air conditioning’ will respond (as it has in the past) but whilst that is likely to deliver over the next millennia, it’s highly unlikely to be responsive enough to deal with the shorter term over the next couple hundred years.

Financing the stadium expansion is not subject to psr I assume that interest on borrowings that are show to be used for this purpose are deductible from the losses You have money due from Chelsea you can wait for it to come and borrow now to finance your expenses - and pay them back when the dosh arrives or you can borrow now against those guaranteed amounts to cover your expenses and not borrow now. What’s the difference? I reckon the instrest rate on the monies due from Chelsea are going to be lower as they are guaranteed. There is always the chance that the club could default on current borrowings so that rate would be higher.

I believe it’s likely to return next Friday ……. shame as he’d like to play at st Mary’s

Doesn’t say by how much I think it’s a given that over a three month period the historic medians are going to be exceeded. of course there will be places across the globe that will be colder than average but that’s going to be over a shorter period. Would be surprised if there are many places at all that record below average over a three month period. that’s where we are now

Why hasn’t anyone suggested talks with ISIS ? surely they can be our friends too ?

Non story covered yesterday in the finance thread

Was jezza ever a ‘friend ‘ of Hezbollah ??

Funnily enough - no ferrets involved think more David pleat meets Robbie fowler ….

If the rumours I’d heard about him were true then there’s no chance he gets the job

Now I’m a bit confused your point seems to back my point - did you miss the word ‘not’ in my comment ?

can’t defend the lack of joined up thinking

Not confirmed by the court yet currently still applications That’s not about propaganda - it’s legal argument and the last seventy years should have illustrated to anyone that Israel care not how they’re viewed when set against what they perceive to be their security I’d be surprised in modern warfare if IDF can avoid supplying some evidence if it’s requested and maintain that excuse.

I hadn't read that report either mac ! the two are not mutually exclusive btw - the IDF can fire at hezbollah and also attempt to take care not to hit UNIFIL soldiers. Have unifil said that there were no H fighters in close vicinity ?

wow You didn’t see the documentaries this week then what happened on oct 7 wasn’t warfare war is war and v ugly - if Israel has broken international law to the extent you say then the ICJ will charge them with genocide (I believe s Africa have now been given a cut off end this month to submit their evidence as they’d asked every month for an extension which has now been denied beyond oct 31 ) In addition the ICC has still not issued the summons against netenyahu and gallant). This is taking too long - the bar is set v low regarding the likelihood of a conviction regarding the court confirming a summons.

I’ve not seen a detailed account and explanation of what happened both today and yesterday I saw that two soldiers were injured after they fell from a viewing platform yesterday. And I’ve seen that today two soldiers were injured by exploding ordinance fired by the IDF. I’m guessing that the explanation will be that (perhaps conveniently) hezbollah fighters will be said to have been close to the UN sites/soldiers. Of course, that doesn’t mean that they have to fire at them but then again, in that scenario do you wait to be fired at first ????
