  1. Interestingly he was monitored very closely by the KGB whilst in the USSR. When he tried range shooting, they noted that he was a poor shot - which the conspiracy theorists will thrive on. However they also concluded that it was doubtful that anyone could control, coerce or subjugate him.
  2. Exactly this. There are thousand of pages and a significant amount of content that remains redacted. However, basement dwelling and armchair conspiracy theorists will already be scouring the contents to cherry pick and extract all manner of confirmation bias for a new wave of dumb social media memes and Tik Tok reels.
  3. At no stage did I suggest it was. It was merely a jocular response to the OP. Jeez.
  4. That a team this staggeringly shite still managed to beat Tottenham Hotspur away.
  5. To take a less diplomatic stance than @leicsmac, because a significant proportion of the American populace are exceedingly myopic and very, very dim.
  6. That we lost 0-3 at home last night.
  7. So pleased for Joe with his first try for England.
  8. Well you would have received a a barrel of best bitter, containing 288 pints, were it not for the fact that you failed to identify Ian Banks.
  9. Correct. 3-1, but the best thing about it was the Nugent reception at 82 minutes. I can recall some horrendous encounters over the years. Obviously the abandoned match against Burton Albion at the Baseball Ground in January 1985 for which Burton had the home advantage but was ironically moved there for safety reasons. Predictably to everyone other than the FA, the Lunatic Fringe turned up in numbers and started pelting the pitch with missiles resulting in the Burton keeper being rendered unconscious - so the match was abandoned at 6-1 and replayed behind closed doors one afternoon at Highfield Road. Ind Coope, sponsors of both teams offered both sets of players an incentive to progress to the fourth round; a barrel of best bitter, containing 288 pints. Imagine that now. Easy bit of trivia - name each of the players pictured. Later that year, but the following season, we played Derby in the Milk Cup which was carnage. That's the sole match in which I recall the clatter of sharpened coins between the mesh of Pen 2 and 3 being constant and unrelenting throughout the game. Fighting erupted outside the ground and then spilled over to Highfields causing a major riot until the early hours that evoked memories of 1982. When questioned about the cause, Peter Soulsby, the then Labour leader of Leicester City Council, attributed it to "a generation of young people who feel alienated from society". My fondest encounter? 0-4 at Pride Park, April 1998, which we won in the first 15 minutes through a Heskey brace and goals from Izzet and Marshall.
  10. A problem in the aft section again, which according to Space X “resulted in the loss of several Raptor engines. This in turn led to a loss of attitude control and ultimately a loss of communications with Starship".Lose enough of the centre engines and the craft starts tumbling. Starship broke apart over populated islands in Turks and Caicos, littering the islands with debris apparently. That's a second consecutive FAA mishap investigation then. The booster catch was magnificent though, and with several raptor engines down.
  11. But only a week ago you yourself were speculating about the dangers of Russia invading Poland until it was pointed out to you that for the same reasons, that too is not going to happen.
  12. He was abominable to his late brother Freddy.
  13. He had been very frustrated at Birmingham City under Barry Fry. When we signed him he was recovering from a thyroid problem, but vowed to make a significant impact when he was fit. He absolutely delivered on that pledge.
  14. The Blue Ghost landing footage is simply stunning.
  15. SpaceX is preparing to launch the eighth flight of Starship today, with the goal of completing the objectives set out during Flight 7 when Ship 33 was lost due to an aft fire during its post-staging burn. Flight 8 will attempt the third successful booster catch, while Ship 34 will once more splashdown in the Indian Ocean. It's scheduled to launch at 6:30 p.m. EST which is half-past eleven here in the UK.
  16. In fairness, Ranieri was instrumental in this signing and the main impetus behind it.
  17. It's actually a very well known fact. He's been doing it for over two decades.
  18. Completely. She was a trailblazer that challenged orthodoxy, forged new frontiers and opened up a wealth of opportunity and ,recognition for women in science. She was, the first woman to receive a doctor of science degree in France and additionally she became the first woman to lecture at the Sorbonne. She was not only the first woman to win Nobel Prize but as you say, two of them., and the first Nobel Laureate whose child also won a Nobel Prize.
  19. Plus running it gently is the most effective and quickest way to accomplish it. About 30 seconds of idling is the recommended practice. As mentioned though, cold open loop startup on my previous bike was practically unrideable for the first five minutes.
  20. Front row, third from the left, a 60 year old Marie Curie.
  21. Some may have noticed that practically every f****g post I make has to be subsequently edited (for typos). It's infuriating. I'm similarly inept at texting. EDIT: For typos.
