According to the Daily Mirror Manchester City’s spectacular £1billion-plus spending spree is being seen as a clear sign that the champions have won their legal battle with the Premier League and cheating is condoned !

'City have embarked on a transfer window splurge that could see up to six new players arrive at the Etihad this month at a cost of £250million, and the reigning champions have also committed £240m after agreeing a new contract with Erling Haaland that will see the Norwegian paid a £500,000-a-week basic wage over the next decade. Buying their way to success without the spending restrictions that other teams seem to be governed by seems to have been approved.

Unless I've got this wrong, Guardiola seems to be able to continue with his unfair advantage that makes it anything but a level playing field . . . . which is not what football should be about :emoticon-0112-wonde

On the tv yesterday. A college in Nottingham is holding classes for the students to teach them how to speak/communicate (by actually talking) on the phone because youngsters apparently don't know how or are scared to do so. Interviewer asked one girl why she didn't like it, the answer was that she couldn't see faces and expressions. Wish interviewer had followed up with ''how do you see them when texting and messaging then?''

Delivery drivers, so called adults and kids alike, bikes and scooters. The reason I got a dash cam -- I'm not going to be ''the bad driver who killed someone'' when it's a case of them piling into me.
7 year old up the street got a powerd little kids ''motor bike'' for Xmas . Comes around our back streets faster than cars do -- in the dark as well, no lights, no helmet , no road sense.

Wow Madison Keys take a bow in the Australian Open - to beat world number 1 and 2 - well deserved
 
Copied from elsewhere . . . . there are some generalisations, but in the main it rings true !

I don’t care if this offends anyone, but I stand by it. War is coming, sooner or later. You, the government are all cowards !
You raised the cost of living so high that both parents are always at work, rather than spending time with their children (single parents stand no chance). You took God out of schools, and parents were told 'No, you can't discipline your kids.'
Well now most of those kids are rude and out of control. You shall reap what you sow ! We have taken a whole generation and turned them into selfish, entitled brats who have no respect for people, property or authority. You deem people with terminal illnesses and some with only a few months to live to be fit for work, you allow our veterans of war to go homeless and hungry, but give out millions to foreign aid. You save drug addicts over and over again, but refuse to give free diabetic supplies to those who need them to stay alive. You bend over backwards to be politically correct, too scared to say "enough is enough" in case you offend someone. You put the retirement age up so people must work until they drop. You take care of prisoners and give them everything under the sun (food, medical, education, representation, money, rehabilitation) yet you cause the elderly, those that have paid their debt to society, and their families to go broke caring for them either at home or in a nursing home.
THINGS NEED TO CHANGE !

Did someone not post that before when we were under the Tories? There should be 3 or 4 more paragraphs now as it’s a damn site worse.

Trump saying the plane crash in DC down to DEI targets. When asked to justify that he just said "I have common sense". Mad as a box of frogs.

Anyone came across The Blot Outdoors show on Youtube ?
Me and the wife have been watching it and I have to say its quite amusing, to summarise he is a lad from Sunderland who films himself stealth camping / wild camping and basically just getting Blotto on strong beer and whiskey. Its a little repetitive but he seems a great bloke and just enjoying life. One of his best mates is a dwarf ( little mick ) and he sometimes joins him, our lass caught me watching it one saturday night pissed and thought I was loosing the plot but now she watches it with me, find some strange things on youtube

As someone on here said about the Southport killings. Kier Starmer would have been made completely aware about the background of the killer very shortly after the event. Maybe Donald Trump was made aware of the DEI thing after the crash. He is the president of the United States after all and does get told things that you and I would never be privy to.
