If I had 1/1000th of Ed Sheeran's riches I'd be telling landlords to eat shit every hour on the hour. I'd start a nonprofit called Eat Shit Landlords. My next album would be called Robert Kraft Can Eat Shit. But Sheeran and Kraft are buddies because of course they are. Sheeran played his wedding.

This factors in the Delap move, but not Fernandez's potential "record" transfer to Man City; however, even if the Argentinian did go to Manchester, Chelsea would end up having spent more than it earned from player sales, and by a considerable margin. This is pyramid spending, and can't end well.

"Towards the end, it did get a bit distasteful and that is part of the game. France have to deal with that and equally they were guilty of the play acting at times. It was niggly."

This is hilarious. For context I used the Copilot Orchestrator that has Condutor, Planning, Implementator and Code review agents. But with the new "usage based pricing", seems like this is not an ideal setup anymore?

I save photographs depicting traumatic experiences in my life because I think it’s important to remember the bad times, as well as the good. This one is from the occasion when some sheep I’d put my trust in threw me off a cliff for kicks then cut the rope as I tearfully begged for their assistance.

Me - suffering from a broken arm - holding onto a rope forlornly with my one good hand while some sheep, on the cliff above, laugh at my predicament and shout insults such as "Penis legs!", "Snowflake!" and "Pathetic cliff twat!" at me.
