They asked her husband what he enjoyed most about oral sex? He said 2% the feeling, 98% the peace and quiet.

But only has a white cat

One of the MLF on ready to groom was on about David Wagner and how he’s had a two year break from football and would be desperate to join them. He hasn’t had a two year break from football and he’s the schalke 04 manager but yeh sure.

He looks like the Nazi version of postman Pat

In an outburst unusual even by his standards, President Trump explained one reason why he could not regard the Kurds as long-term partners: their failure to help the US and its allies in the Normandy landings. “The Kurds are fighting for their land,” he told reporters. “As somebody wrote in a very powerful article today, they didn’t help us in the Second World War, they didn’t help us with Normandy as an example . . . But they were there to help us with their land, and that’s a different thing.” In spirit, he seems to have been making a technical point about the difference between a longstanding alliance, such as the West’s with Turkey, and short-term co-operation with countries or local forces with which the West has a passing common interest His comments were immediately ridiculed, however, with critics pointing out that as of D-Day the Kurds, a landlocked, mountainous people living in the Middle East and Central Asia, were not well endowed with Marines and landing-craft. Moreover, Mr Trump was wrong in any case. The Kurds did help the British, US, and Allied efforts in Normandy, albeit obliquely. The raw facts were pointed out quickly by Akil Awan, an academic at Royal Holloway, University of London: the Kurds played a key role in the British occupation of Iraq during the Second World War, fighting alongside British troops who stepped in to block a pro-Nazi coup. Britain had been given responsibility for Iraq after the First World War under the Sykes-Picot agreement and, while the country won notional independence in 1932, London continued to keep a close strategic eye on it. It maintained a military presence, particularly on the RAF Habbaniyeh air base west of Baghdad, where fox-hunting British officers were supported by the so-called Iraqi Levies This force, first raised to support British rule at the end of the First World War, contained Iraqis of all sects and ethnicities but was dominated by minorities, particularly Assyrian Christians, Kurds and Yazidis. When a pro-Nazi politician seized power in 1941, the British invaded from Basra in the south. RAF Habbaniyeh was surrounded by pro-Nazi Iraqi forces, but the RAF, supported by contingents of the Iraqi Levies, broke out, pushed back and eventually reversed the coup. Dr Awan estimates that by 1942 Kurds made up 25 per cent of the fighting force of the Levies, and certainly in records from a year later ten of the 44 companies were said to be Kurdish. The Iraqi front was, of course, a long way from Normandy, and Hitler’s crack Panzer divisions were not involved. But there was a reason why Iraq was so strategically important: oil was the main driver of western interest in Iraq from 1918 onwards. Not for nothing did Britain demand — and win — control of the key northern Iraqi city of Mosul, which Sykes-Picot initially gave to French-controlled Syria. With major wells unveiled in the 1920s in nearby Kirkuk, the city the Kurds regard as their spiritual capital, the Kurds came to play a central role in world history for the first time, even if it was one from which they benefited little. The Americans and the British did benefit however, not least as they fuelled the landing craft on June 5, 1944

He was approached but judging by his response I don’t think he’s interested.

"Hello there! Is that t'radio Aire? I know I'm getting on a bit, but ah right like that Nora Braithwaite who sometimes walks past Wiki's office. Anyway, could you dedicate a song for lass? What song? I'd like you to play...."

Looks like the new plan for NI is to have us in Schrodinger’s customs union.

He always has the look of someone who fucking stinks

"It's the way I tell'm"

That's a scandalous claim. All he did was post it to the forum every time he was feeling wistful after one of his bong parties.

They should sever any alliances with Germany. They didn’t help much on D-Day either

"Remainers will stick with figures and forecasts.... That's just what they do." Said mockingly.

You can google precisely how talented she is.… … so I’m told

Absolutely winging it 😂

Thick as fuck.

Just realised it's probably a parody account but it just seems so plausible.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/oct/11/nike-oregon-project-shut-down-after-alberto-salazars-four-year-ban Why would Nike shut down it's most successful project just for one dirty coach where none of it's aesthetes have doped or been caught for doping?

The favourite for the job is Wycombe's manager. The same Wycombe who finished 3pts above the relegation places in league one last season. I appreciate Wycombe are a smaller club, but it doesn't exactly bode well for a team expecting automatic promotion

Wasn’t the perceived wisdom (lol) that he did a shit job for us?

Fuck me. Been a long day.

Probably wanks over photos of himself when he was a bairn

Backstop

Apparently the new border controls by Johnson will be called the British-Irish Area for Cooperation, Knowledge & Special Trade Operation Procedures. Looks promising.

I'm seeing a pattern emerging with the same poster starting the thread.

Does anyone NOT think he is would be a better question. He is more sus than Jimmy Saville!

Part of me wonders if Trump putting the whims of one US citizen over that of justice and his country's relationship with a long term ally may encourage the people who think that we're going to get some kind of awesome US trade deal that we're really just going to be shat upon from a great height. But it probably won't.

Sadly the US were never going to waive immunity and the UK were never going to put any real pressure on them.

It is jarring watching Blair handle Neil and leave him looking like a bairn repeating soundbites, compared with the performance of the current generation of politicians on the same show. Just through the deployment of intelligence and logic. Neil has got nothing.
