Eh? 10 units is like 4 pints. Of course you did. Comfortably. Two heavy nights of 10 pints each and you're pretty much there.

"no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland...without our express written approval". But which US adversary would an American president ever give, um, "express written approval" to? Are there any adversaries near Greenland/Arctic circle? I can't think of any. Can you?

Also: "funded" or "paid for". Sponsored makes it sound like he had a sign outside the entrance. Or offered them £1 per lap completed in a charity run.

They're at HOME?!?! Literally hope they lose now. Just for this. Fuming. *Fast forward to 4.25pm, I'm sat steaming, seething, snarling at the telly...and they jog out in the home kit because @stephenkb.bsky.social got his info wrong

Have to confess some of the kit decisions in the PL ENRAGE me. So often a team will be facing someone in, say, red/white/red so will switch to their...white/red/white option. Or face a team in dark green by switching to dark blue. Or black. Best/richest league in the world pah!

Omg I love how this brilliant, thoughtful, considered thread sprang from @mrjamesob.bsky.social using the phrase "absolute twats". Like, I literally love it.

Cutting it to what?! It's already down massively and projected to be close to zero next year? Is the 'Change' guy really gonna come in and kick off with "we need to cut immigration"? Lord help us if so.

PROS: Reduced waiting time overall, no stress, no effort. Easy. CONS: Erm, i guess you can't jump the queue? Imagine applying this to any other queuing situation - a taxi rank, getting served in a shop, whatever: no single queue, just a general melee of people all trying to be seen next.

It actually means you get served quicker. Same number of customers queuing for the same number of staff members, but it cuts out the "who's next...me...no I was next...but I've been here ages..." between every serving. Not to mention failing to keep track of who you are and aren't in front of.

You're so close to getting it John. If measuring to 1/1000th of a mm is no good, what measurement should we use? 1cm? Big toe? Daylight? Because whatever the answer is, there will STILL be times when someone is 1/1000th of a mm offside. However/wherever/whenever you do it, that won't change.

None of that makes any sense. He only has 1 assist in this world cup so not sure why you're referencing a year/specific world cup. And if you are going to reference a specific year, I wouldn't go with 1966 - Maradona was 5 years old.

Um, it's not a penalty. He's just planted his foot way out of his running stride into the defender. If you play footy, you know what he's done.

Are you f'ing serious BBC? Probably the biggest corruption grift in the history of the modern world - pitched as: "he's a bit of a lad, isn't he?". Jesus help us.

I'm thinking Shearer/Le Tissier/Kane level expert. Otherwise, the difference is minimal and not worth it.

Always thought this was a false economy. Your worst penalty taker (the donkey centre half, say) is gonna score 7/10. Your top striker is gonna score 8/10. Why make players who aren't expert pen takers, who haven't been involved in the game and in many cases haven't even touched the ball, take one?

Don't want to get too "Bluesky" on you Jonathan, but you're trying not to get too excited about a Russian winning Wimbledon? And what would be a huge propaganda win for Putin? Sometimes Bluesky overdoes the politics, but at the same time sometimes the politics is important. Like, life or death.

The baffling thing is, it's not like it was designed for government communications but got corrupted. It was only ever a social media platform for people to share cat photos and argue about potholes. Be like HMG 10 years ago insisting they have to have a presence on Fortnite because it's so popular

Sarah, please tell the home secretary she's an absolute fraud, posting condolences on the app responsible for spreading more anti-muslim hatred than any other person or group across the entire world. Pathetic.

Poor Yusuf. Just wants to be liked by the racists, does everything they say, says anything they ask, travels the country doing countless interviews reading the script they gave him, like a real good doggy. Proper party man. "We lost the by-election? Must be Zia's fault. DON'T ASK WHY, IT JUST IS!"
