I thought James was satirising this piece but nope, direct quote

Super Ray.

Privileged to have watched his Indian Summer at QPR: best player that I've seen play for us.

Was so good, he really should have been recalled to play for England.

we all know I have no life, so:

My mother. I didn't get the chance to say goodbye.

I actually just picked up an original copy of his "The Soccer Tribe" book from 1981: had a copy years ago.

It's actually a goldmine of fantastic football photos from the late 1970s.

As someone else has called it on here...willy con carne.

I don't normally like to fuel this kind of speculation but the photos are too good not to share

Visibility can be a small bit of an issue in winter, but there is SO much to sort out in terms of driver behaviour before you even get close to that.

2. How does a vis vest stop drivers from parking on the pavement (including while you are walking on said pavement)? I've nearly had cars try to barge me out the way several times.

3. How does a vis vest stop drivers from ignoring speed limits?

4. How does a vis vest stop the roads being in shite?

I live in Tipperary, I walk to and from work every day and I have a few questions on this motion from the councillors:

1. How does a vis vest stop the amount of gobshites speeding through red lights at pedestrian crossings?

100 and out – Preview - Queens Park Rangers News QPR have announced that Steve Cook will make his 100th, and last, appearance for the club in tonight’s game against Swansea at Loftus Road.

Excellent tribute by Clive

The obligatory Renault 4 too.

It's an excellent opportunity to coach: at his age, playing on is diminishing returns..and no guarantee of a coaching path elsewhere. Sometimes you just have to take the longer career view.

He'd be a fool to turn it down.

Just wanna be clear, the US economy is in a downturn, many companies are announcing layoffs, and nearly all of them will say it’s because “AI.” That’s a convenient excuse, far better than “we made bad business decisions.”

They will never show actual evidence that AI was the reason for *any* of it.

These two widely shared images claiming to show the IDF restoring a statue of Jesus that was previously damaged by an Israeli soldier near Debl, Lebanon, are AI-generated and fake.

A Google SynthID check finds watermarks that suggest both images were made with Google AI.

First: hilarious.

Second: A core belief of Trump-brand conservativsm is there are and never have been difficult problems, only dumb leaders without the strength to be cruel enough to solve them.

It's why they always look so baffled when pushing the "more cruelty" button doesn't seem to work.

this account is amazing, mostly because of the old buses, but ALSO because of the old ads

Java script error: why The Devil Wears Prada 2’s Starbucks tie-in leaves a strange taste A theatrically released movie about glossy magazines, released at a time when there are minimal audiences for either, has ordered up a no foam, extra shot, venti facepalm

Superb headline.

Like it or not, mobiles are a part of modern life, for good and ill.

Bans are a particularly stupid solution, denying the reality of 21st century everyday life.

Yep, indeed! Must dig it out when I get home.

Taped, and looking forward to seeing it.

You were also quoted in a recent edition of the football magazine "When Saturday Comes" - that was a "ooh, someone from Bluesky!" moment! 🤣

I also believe that if Robbie Rensenbrink had scored in the last minute of the final instead of hitting the post, Argentina would have been "helped" in getting an equaliser in injury time.

The military juntas of Argentina and Peru made a deal to throw the Argentina-Peru game at the 1978 World Cup, allowing the hosts to qualify for the final.

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

Rare sighting of a column chart taking a dip at Hove Beach.
