Trav Le Bleu

The population is quite different to the Scandinavian countries, whose languages share a common root, whilst Finnish is almost unique. They also have a lot of influence from Russia, southern parts of Finland having been part of the Russian empire.

I've heard a quote, and I'm paraphrasing cos I can't remember the exact numbers, but the point remains - "50 years ago the average household had 8 needs and 10 wants; now they have 24 needs and 56 wants." And that was a quote from the 1950s as a remark on the impact of advertising (I've searched for it online, but can't find it, so can't guarantee its veracity, but it's highly believable). It's all about attitudes and perceptions. As you point out, most people don't have to cut out much actually unnecessary stuff in order to save a bundle of money. This especially comes to the fore with some people on benefits who, "can't get by", despite having more income than some working people. Yet it equally applies to people who are actually very comfortable, but miserable, because they don't have a 5 bedroom house, a Bentley and a holiday home.

And it's coming from Leicester... Alabama?

Are you suggesting they're the same incident? One says they cannot be named and the other has photos (which is weird in the case of minors).

Thanks for sharing. Hang in there, something will turn up. What would you like to do?

I think his history has counted against him. This isn't just about "a couple of media posts". It's chronic. To use a football metaphor, 5 yellows and now he's suspended.

Not for long.

What about the people who treat them like gods? (Small g)

As you might know, I'm not a fan of Xmas, but it's supposed to be a time of miracles , so here's what I want for the Leicester City Miracle this year. Dear Satan, We have been very bad this year. In fact we've been awful, so please we would like the following... 1) 15-0 victory over Watford on Boxing Day (apologies @Super_horns, nothing personal, it just happens to be you.) 2) Faes, Winks, Daka, Vestergaard and Kristianssen sold for £100m in January 3) The EFL apologise for the distress caused by the threat of potential points deduction and instead award us 12 extra points. 4) The EPL follow suit and promise that when promoted we will have a 12 pt head start 5) Top reveals that the reason he has not been so involved in the club is because he has been playing polo in order to raise sponsorship for cloning research and that they have successfully cloned his late father, who will be taking over the running of the club forthwith. I don't really ask for much.

Does anyone else feel like Putin and Trump are making plans similar to Hitler and Stalin? New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says - BBC News https://share.google/CAth2eMzWEgOG5YqB Are they going to save us from "civilisational erasure" by replacing it with theirs (and possibly troops on the ground)?

Was going to say that. Did they even have reporters in attendance? Given that some SPL men's team only get 5-6000 attendance I imagine that some of those games only had 5-600 in attendance.

It's the BBC being stupid.

Fully expect WSL results to come ahead of Championship soon.

Mmmmmmmmm, Old Winchester

Two groups of people known to each other. Feuding families falling out on holiday?

Delivering takeaways does not constitute "working with the Chinese day in day out".

I'm a little worried that Wrexham seem to be finding their feet at this level.

Stephen thanks you.

I liked his positive subs at the end instead of trying to get 10 defensive players on.

Ewww, that's disgusting!

Great first half and the 2nd lot of substitutions effectively killed Derby off as a threat. Would've been annoying if they'd pulled it back, given there was nothing wrong with Ayew's goal.

Have you seen the teams in the top 6?

@Wymsey liked it

Flipping Derby time wasting!

I'm not sure it was a free kick, but there's been no replay.
