Happy "9/11 was all about ME!" day to all who celebrate (and by jiminy there's a fair few!).

Honestly? You'll never get elected in Clacton with anything other than a WWII-tinted view of "patriotism". I have always supported Universal Suffrage, but when you see some of the Vox Pops from Clacton and various "Protect Ar Wimmin" rallies you do despair. Kudos to anyone who tries, though.

Misplaced Childhood, definitely, although as well as owning all Marillion's albums with Fish, I also had all Dire Sraits' up to Brothers in Arms (on vinyl, even though it was so many people's first/only CD at the time!)

Tommy, definitely. Ground-breaking brilliance (though not in the same league as Who's Next). Harrison's album is a bit patchy, Chicago just aren't my thing, and Clapton too much of a technician. You want guitar with feeling? See my man Carlos Santana.

The game was gone before this kicked off. Inappropriate venues /times, matches in 1/4s for tv ads, a half time show in the final - and a fucking peace prize for 🍊. Infantino can rot in hell next to 🍊 . In the grand scheme of things, ⚽ doesn't matter. Thing is, for billions of us it really does.

You know Wayne was a massive racist, homophobic and severely right wing, don't you? I get the feeling he'd be a shoo-in for the Mango Mussolini's inner circle.

Honestly, Fledermaus, I wouldn't want to be going over there under the present regime. There's so much wrong with the WC, but outside of that there is a lot of unrest among the US citizenry, and these fuckers have guns. I wouldn't feel safe, given the 5yr SM history demand covers a lot of activism..

Succintly sums up what is wrong with our beleaguered nation. Trying to pander to reform voters has left Labour's legacy one of shame.

Italy to replace Iran in the World Cup? Just F*ck Off! On second thoughts, they can replace us (Scotland). I'm totally scunnered with the decline of a tournament we used to get excited about before it started being awarded to non-footballing autocracies. Enjoy your empty hotel rooms and stadia!

The real wingnuts will lap this shit up. Like any of the major religion, Christianity is a fair moral code to live by. It's when grown humans start taking the OT explanations of Natural phenomena literally, coupled with the Imaginary Friend/Sky Fairy stuff, that we can discount their actual sanity.

If FIFA has any integrity, the tournament should become a two-country endeavour. Late reorganization has happened before, in 1986, so it could be done again. Oh, hang on. FIFA? Integrity? What was I thinking?

Unfortunately, we all suffer because of the USA's seeming inability to get rid of this maniac. Are the entire Republican party compromised? Surely Party loyalty only goes so far, and that line should have been crossed months ago, no?

1. Donald Trump. 2. Every single last one of them. 3.No. With every day, every post, every press conference, every speech, the answer becomes ever more inexplicable to those of us outside the insanity that is this regime, but no.

My American friends: What the actual is a "National Prayer Breakfast? Where's the separation of Church and State? I've always believed the "Christian Right" are neither, but this, from the outside, seems equally authoritarian and batshit crazy.

This. I've waited 28 years for Scotland to qualify, but already these wankers (Trump and FIFA)have corrupted the Finals, and things will only get worse. If Canada and Mexico could co-host, great. Otherwise cancel the whole fucking thing. And be clear as to the reason.
