    Sky will televise them all and we'll watch it, just as we'll end up watching Burkina Faso play Moldova in the expanded world cup. The easiest way to help the majority earn more would be to expand the tours and televise more of the events. They've got a great short format and you get a huge...

    Thanks and yep, does sound like accounting sleight of hand.

  3. Darts

    WInning the world's pretty secures world number 1 as it is (barring this year, as Hump was so far ahead and LL was in his first season), so £1m prize will make that worse. Also didn't realise they're expanding GSOD to 48 players either. So that's worlds and gsod, with masters already enlarged...

    Who are main creditors for all this council debt? Not really sure what mechanisms kick in when a council declares itself bankrupt? There are surely a base level of services and employees they need to retain and they're still getting some income in.

  5. Marcus Rashford | 2024/25 Performances | loan to Villa

    Is it? Some is, but most I've seen isn't that bad fairly, saying he looks a bit better but is still miles off where he needs to be. Granted there are some pushing a stupid angle that Amorim will be proven wrong/embarrassed if Rash does well. He'd been shit for ages and maybe he needed a move to...

    Besides what Pexbo said, just the line 'The vibe I bring to the function' sounds so cringey and awkward, especially if it's meant to be Starmer, a 62 year old guy.

  7. The Trump Presidency - Part 2

    It's not every company though, only those that act as contractors to the US government. The ideologic zealotry required to mandate this from suppliers is batshit though. Sad thing is most will just kowtow to their demands.

  8. Music The Ultimate Metal thread.

    That song still rocks and Randy Rhoads is a legend. Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman are both classics.

    No idea how any could see it as a good retort. A callous off the cuff remark would be one thing, but using it as a line in a planned comms response would be bizarre and misguided.

  10. Musk | Fascist | Leader of the Free World

    :lol:Would be hard not to laugh if you were doing the interview.

    If it wasn't made by Starmer sounds like the knives are being sharpened for him. Terrible excuse from Jones either way though. If a comment sticks in your mind (presumably for being heinous or inappropriate in this instance), you don't then go and blurt it out on national TV.

  12. Haaland at City

    They must've paid off the police too. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/manchester-city-mascot-accuses-club-of-cover-up-after-erling-haaland-hit-her-on-head/ar-AA1BTU6l Odd incident though. Must've been a bit of a whack to go to hospital and make her post the complaints, but odd to think...

    Death toll over 1,000 now. https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/high-toll-feared-as-major-quake-batters-myanmar

  14. 7.7 magnitude earthquake hits Myanmar with damage reported in Bangkok(BBC)

    Must've been scary. Thailand seems quite prone to buildings and road bridges collapsing even without earthquakes. I'm supposed to be going to Bangkok in May -my employer has two events planned but no idea if they'll go ahead now.

  15. The Trump Presidency - Part 2

    Would be an interesting case though cos the carmakers woulde surely have to reveal whether Trump is just making empty threats or there was real consequences for raising prices. Probably won't all get that far, given Trump's policies change like the wind.
