And neither of which have actually ended.

That’s without allowing for the queues at checkpoints.

My stracotto d’asino in Bergamo last year...

Certain people get snarky about Muslims/ Jews and pork but blanch at the thought of eating horse (or dog or guinea pig)

Nice capital city you got there. Be a shame if it got nuked…

Why does Vance assume that the Pope being against war and poverty is a critique of the US administration…?

Roy Cohn was his mentor. I think he has a pretty good idea.

Although with the dementia and all…

I think he’s mistaking which side of McCarthyism he’s on.

A senior Iraqi official once said to me of the people of Basra (around 2005), “they were occupied by the Ottomans for over 300 years and their view was ‘we’ll wait it out’. How long have the British got?”

Don’t the Red Cross provide free medical assistance though? Confused…

Presumably the Chinese will continue to observe rather than intervene while its enemy is making a mistake. At least we hope so…

Arc de Triomphe, with Korean characteristics.

Or social psychologists - to understand why so many people are convinced by his bizarre rantings (or at least acquiesce).

Hope there’s a lot of, er, ‘backslapping’ around the FT drinks trolley this evening.

If it were just a piece of ice, he wouldn’t be trying to grab its critical minerals. It’s the rock he wants not the ice.

😳

Debated the ethics of going to Russia but had a really interesting (and mostly great) time.* Made an early decision we wouldn’t do this one if Trump was Pres, but didn’t think the shitshow would be this bad.

* a few stories that can’t be told here…

Won’t be satisfied until he’s overtaken Uncle Kim.

Don’t Stop. But also Go Your Own Way.

In a blatant act of provocation yesterday, Sadiq Khan allowed Christians to perform the Passion of Jesus in Trafalgar Square - a disgraceful show of dominance by a religion from the middle east.

And the campaign to push Josh out carries on apace…

That goal difference spread means the title decider could feasibly be something like ‘Rochdale must win by 9 goals’!

How bad do you have to be at politics to make the Iranians sound like the good guys?!

Have you tried restoring from last backup?

Nah. We controlled the game and created great chances = played better. The reason we lost wasn’t that they were better but because Sam, Alyssa, Sjoeke et al didn’t put away chances they would normally have buried.

Actually, we were comfortably the better team tonight, and should have scored 3 or 4. But yes, the Buurman non-goal will go down in legend.

(Buurman will, I think, become a truly great Chelsea player btw)

Reverse engineer the IP. If they don’t give a shit about international law, neither do we.

The ref was actually very good tonight. Didn’t fall for the blatant cheating. But shoulda been a red for McCabe. We could easily have won by 4 or 5 tonight. If we’d bothered to pop it in the net.

A chocolate-covered iron curtain.

Best to avoid visiting under indictment , mind.
