Off Topic Ahhh …..the bad news thread

[Royston Hawtrey]

It's probably a unique occasion when I say Well Done to the front page writers of three newspapers as diverse as
THE DAILY STAR
THE DAILY EXPRESS
THE DAILY MIRROR

That's for @Dick Plumb1 to decide. I'm retired now

But I fear a return to politics debate may well get too heated and lead to members leaving, which would be a terrible shame

Apparently, half-time at the 2026 World Cup Final will be extended to thirty minutes to accommodate a Super Bowl-style half-time show. Coldplay are to curate this aberration.

Maddening American influence on our beautiful game. It's intolerable.

Second that. It's not hard to avoid politics. Letting off steam is not all it's cracked up to be.
