Much as I am sure he is not a nice person, If we are calling guys in their 30 shagging 17 year olds paedos you are going to need a bigger jail.

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is you are right. The good news is most people are in the middle with you, despite what the extremes try to tell you about anyone not in their bubble.

And now.... they made an American version, which is somehow on the TV in Australia. It's called, Have I got news for you, America.

"The product they produce in the big four sports... If they can bring that entertainment product here, and they have the know-how to commercialise and monetise sports assets, it will be fascinating." I for one welcome our new American overlords.

There seems to be a huge disconnect between the asset value of the land and its ability to earn decent returns though? In any normal business your asset value is based on its ability to generate profit, but here it seems there is a market value disparity which could well land farmers with a carrying cost of 20% inheritance tax which their business cannot sustain? I take your point on subsidies, however farming IS a nationally important resource which needs to be protected from foreign imports which again operate on much lower cost land and labour costs if we are to sustain them.

I really hope not, although Russia tried to attack Finland before and failed. They shouldn’t. They are not those protesting though. And most of them not the corporate owned mega farms but family farms owned by sole traders.

Like everybody else who doesn't hold that leverage.

It's much more fun if you leave just that little seed of doubt

Speak for yourself Daggers.

Musk is not part of the Government, he is a voluntary appointee to a non-governmental advisory committee thing looking at opportunities to save money.

You can think both the plight of farmers and that of nurses and teachers are worthy causes without thinking nurses and teachers should have the right to strike given their almost unique position as being able to screw up a lot of people lives in a very short period of time.

Less chat more highlights. Also they will have rights to show highlights at the same time as Sky apparently.

Not quite. They have switched from TV to Podcasts with great success, but that was in a separate company, so they voluntarily liquidated the film / TV company as they are not doing any more projects. Generally voluntary liquidation means you are finished with it, don't owe anyone and money and have closed the bank account.

Happy Birthday @Parafox ! I hope you are being spoilt today.

He is in the right threat that is for sure.

You happen to be treated as an equal because you moved from another EU country with all the appropriate paperwork and bought a home, pay taxe etc, all of which ticks a box.

They have an awful history of poor regulation that is for sure. I think we can rely on Musk getting this wrong.

Being Liverpool fans I doubt they will consider maybe their manager should be less of a **** to referees if they want to get a impartial official.

Yet people watch it anyway. It is interesting that the chat, the magazine discussion is what keeps people watching, not just the highlights. Balance is key though, went too far the other way when it was briefly on ITV. Hopefully they don't break that.

They are on tour shortly 30 years from Troublegum.

I think we could legitimately rename this thread "Bryn educates everyone on the issue facing the NHS in a mature and thoughtful manner". Well played sir. We have all been guilty at some point of assuming there is some magic bullet, or one big issue that no none has dealt with properly. Apart from the blanket "not enough money going in to provide the never-ending expansion of services we seem to expect" there clearly isn't.

Torn between knowing LA is a massive knob and him proving it by being abusive to the staff who are trying to keep him safe and thinking the security guy obviously knew him and was winding him up. Bit pathetic to then complain if you are on a deliberate wind up.

Works well over here. Mind you that is mainly to stop the whole country being on fire.

Au contraire mon ami! If you are correct on the coming storm we will need to fight!
