Read this a couple of months ago. Fascinating read and full of some quite bizarre characters.

I'm undecided about this series. I picked up a couple of the recent reprints and they're OK but nothing really gripped me about them.

The RU correspondent of the Yorkshire Evening Post certainly thought it was pretty short-sighted of the RFU.

I managed the opposite once. Made a 9am lecture badly hungover. Promptly fell asleep and woke up about 12:30 during a lecture for an entirely different course. Found the lecture theatre had been in use continually all morning! So I'd slept through 3 1/2 lectures and no-one did anything about me.

reminds me of the episode of Yes Prime Minister where they're looking to smear Hacker's predecessor "The PM's recollection is at variance with his predecessor's." ""Passage of time and separation from official records have perhaps clouded his memory"

don't use "phased array", the likes of the Blade Runners will read that as "phaser array" and say it reinforces their claim.

Any other ground with a pitch this bad would not get any future matches but as its Lord's an exception gets made. Meanwhile the ground where England have the best record recently doesn't get a game next season. Time to move the second Ashes test to Headingley. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/a...

So before he's even been re-elected, he's lying again saying Essex Police advised not to attend the count, something Essex Police deny. What an obnoxious, mendacious that he is.

The twonk won his seat as a Tory, defected a few months later and didn’t call a by-election. Reform had five MPs elected. Two have left the party, one called a by-election to fight Binhead. They have an additional five who defected from the Tories. And he bleats about mandates. Twat.
