Thought I might be first to say For All Mankind but see I’m not alone there. Last 2 seasons were so bad in my view but general reviews remained weirdly positive!

I skipped high school to buy tickets for The Phantom Menace. The following day my Dad asked ," how was school?" I replied, " It was fine " He then threw this newspaper at me and asked , " how the fuck would you know?" He was so pleased with himself that I didn't actually get in trouble.
Newspaper where I am on the front page, in line for Star Wars tickets , having given the reporter my full government name Closeup of the photo from the Newspaper where I am on the front page, in line for Star Wars tickets , having given the reporter my full government name .

As one pal put it, " a very John Conner look "Closeup of the text for the photo that says

Thanks to everyone who's donated. Those of us lucky enough to have grown up and to live by the sea - and so see how rough and cold it gets in the autumn and winter - realise again and again just how brave these folk must be to go out and do what they do.

I had much more of an issue with Mignolet and his absolutely terrible distribution. High loopy balls to our full backs in their own half...

always felt he was treated badly by fans (including our own) and media. Yes it became clear he wouldn't ever become long term Liverpool number 1 but the idea he was just a calamity and liability was very unfair.

Hi. Currently on very slow train from Victoria to Gillingham as nothing else seemed to be leaving. Trying to get to Whitstable? Is my only option waiting an hour and a half at Rochester?

so disappointed it's not worked out for Elliott. I really thought he could be the back up option for Wirtz and if necessary right wing. Clearly that isn't happening. Still don't get how player of tournament at Euro u21s who was playing, occasionally scoring and assisting for us has fallen so far

yes I agree. I often mix up alcoholic and non alcoholic now. As someone else said Guinness 0 is surprisingly good but many of them are nice now. Also recommend Cloudwater Fresh AF IPA as a good one.

The Metropolitan Police have announced they're taking no further action against Zack Polanski over the Nigel Farage guillotine t-shirt Instagram post, although the man who wore it has been referred to Avon and Somerset Police Key points from their statement 🧵

On this day in 1981, Richard Cobb got an honorary degree from the University of Essex. That may not seem significant to you, but it makes this afternoon the 45th anniversary of one of the finest graduation addresses ever delivered 🧵
A grey slate plaque with white lettering reads: Historian Richard Cobb got an honorary degree here on a sweltering day in 1981. His speech, in full: “Well, it’s very hot and the pubs are open.”

Haaland discourse abounds. Haaland is the best player in the world who, if at his peak, you cloned, and made him and his clone play in the same team, you would make the team markedly worse.

“Brian got some hair gel and now he thinks he’s a f***ing unicorn.”
Two Shetland ponies I photographed on Dartmoor, both of whom have extremely fetching hair-dos, but especially Brian, in the foreground, who has made a big effort with his appearance since I last saw him, which I am hoping is on my behalf.

Senegal are a really good side and were a really good side in the first half, making the manner in which France have completely and utterly broken their spirit through the sheer force of their quality and personality a truly frightening prospect for the rest of this tournament. Les Bleus’ to win.
