Thing is, he’s absolutely right, it would be worse for Manchester without them But the fact UAE has successfully used a really great part of England’s cultural power to cheat, sports wash their own reputation and then potentially walk away leaving fans fucked… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Having reviewed it I'm really disappointed at how Frankfurt went, tied games I should have won and lost games I should have won. Glad I recovered better but oof. Zoroark let me down.

I know I gripe about the grind in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, especially the DLC, but it's still overall a positive experience. If you haven't got it yet, this is a perfect time to jump in for sure.

Every private conversation in Westminster: "Well the triple lock obviously has to go at some point". Every commentator on Burnham: "completely mad to propose getting rid of triple lock - political suicide".

En Gaard! I would imagine he'll continue to beat all the McLarens and quite likely be Palou's closest rival in 2027 (given it was only ten points difference between him and Kirkwood this year, and Ganassi are definitely better than McLaren).

Oh yeah on the Aston being a joke. At least it's not Arrow McLaren.

Alex P @takingthepitt.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I honestly think Aston might be the worst managed team on the grid because what do you mean your best options are a 46 year old who still thinks he's peak Schumacher and a Nepo baby who hasn't completed a full race distance all season and is somehow a worse driver than when he started F1

I wanted to build a team that uses Hisuian Zoroark, as it's my favourite Pokémon. I saw a list from Gdansk last year and decided to copy it. Originally it had Incin instead of Salamence and while I tried Scrafty initially it wasn't hitting hard enough.

The RNLI has said the abuse of volunteers in Portsmouth has forced it to close the lifeboat station there and stop operating since September 10. Nearby stations have been providing cover to the area instead. One of the UK's largest coastal cities without a lifeboat because of the far-right.
