Same as over on the old bird site. But less wound up. Default mode is sarcasm. Probably. Sports-wise: LFC, Ulster Rugby and Lanky.

Carra at his one-eyed worst today - so down on Wirtz that he couldn't bring himself to admit that he had an assist for the Isak goal. Then tells us that there is no right winger in the whole Liverpool squad, about 10 minutes before Munoz trots on #LFC #YNWA

This is the bit where Farage will be seen on tonight’s news saying something like ”I’m not an expert on family trust law, are you?”. It’s got nothing to do with Trusts, the rules are crystal clear.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

I know there's a massive Erling Haaland love-in and I am all for it. But his old man is whiny little bitch
From the Guardian / PA 

Alf-Inge Haaland: Norway were 'robbed'
Alf-Inge Haaland claims Norway were “robbed” in their World Cup quarter-final but hopes England go on to win the tournament after knocking out his homeland.

The former Leeds midfielder and father of Manchester City striker Erling said Thomas Tuchel’s side were “saved by the referee” in their 2-1 win in Miami.

Norway had a goal by Torbjorn Heggem, which would have put them 2-1 up, ruled out after Erling Haaland pushed over Elliot Anderson at a corner.

In response to a post on X by journalist Henry Winter, Haaland senior wrote: “Saved by the referee. Hope you win the WC now. But feel we got robbed today.”

In an earlier post, referring to Jude Bellingham’s match-winning second goal, he wrote: “Well done Bellingham and referee”.

Haaland senior had earlier been seen on television sticking two fingers up at someone in the crowd after suggesting Djed Spence had dived to win a penalty which was subsequently overturned after a VAR intervention.

I am at the redeveloped Olympia for the first time for a concert at the British Airways-sponsored new venue (which is excellent). Clearly, tons of money has been invested but if you want step-free access at the station, you need to walk 600m. The developers simply don’t give a shit.

Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement. Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences. Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else. Enough.

This is absolutely mad bollocks from Badenoch. The individuals who committed these crimes were not stopped and searched because of MacPheraon but because there was literally no reason to stop and search them. Unless she thinks that their ethnicity was reason enough, which is fabulously racist.
The Southport murders of three young girls, the Nottingham stabbings, and Manchester Arena bombing could all have been stopped if public authorities had not feared being called racist, Badenoch argued during a speech in which she cited the incidents as examples of where equalities law had gone too far.

It’s challenging to stay abreast of what is happening in the US. This is worth five minutes of catch up. The *really* interesting part for me is the reticence to allow officials to testify. It appears that the threat of jail time for perjury remains the last line of defence for the US legal system.
