From what I've read, there's a decent amount of pork barrel politics involved - jealous glances at the neighbouring constituencies that went Tory last time and have been promised investment that Batley hasn't. Combined with disaffected Muslim voters who'd normally be Labour's core vote in the area but who say they're voting elsewhere this time because of Starmer's statements on foreign policy issues.

And I think Galloway's pro-Palestine drum-beating will be as much a factor as anything else he claims to be standing for this time.

The bookies have had the Tories as strong favourites for ages, for what it's worth.

Couldn't find kirschwasser, used Carling

So do I, but it just got knocked out by Ukraine so now I'm stuck with England.

Happy days

Fortunately we'll always have the limp defeat to Iceland immediately after the referendum, with Woy going on a boat trip instead of researching the opposition, as fate's real verdict on the matter.

Oh great.

We took essembee's kneecaps good and proper, 28-06-21

I believe the exact phrase used was that he "had Mongolian eyes"

Happy anniversary!

Well, no

Anyway, while I wasn't coming here to post that, I was coming to post this, at least. Worth bearing in mind alongside the daily drip-feed of statistical gloom.

We've just binned a load of 80s and 90s Formula 1 season reviews on VHS. It's all digital now, innit

Putting this in here rather than in Classifieds because I'm giving away, not selling (and because I want the post to actually get read ) I'm having a wee clearout ahead of a house move and I've got these NUFC DVDs that I'm not looking to hang on to: NUFC Season Review 2002/03 NUFC Season Review 2003/04 NUFC Season Review 2011/12 Shearer The Legend I know they sometimes go for a few quid on eBay (and other times for pennies), but I can't be bothered with that & there's no point giving them to a charity shop in London, so I thought I'd mention it on here in case anyone knows anyone who'd want them. Happy for it to be a friend of a relative of your milkman's neighbour (etc.), just Paypal me a couple of quid for postage and they're yours. Hit me up with a PM if interested.

"Not political"

Then you'll finish the job in the last 16.

Well, we've got rid of Turkey, Russia and Poland. Now just need ze Germans to dispatch the blackshirts and make it an autocrat clean sweep.

Still, at least Dubravka has prevented them from scoring the biggest own goal of the day.

Ah yes, "the rainbow". What's it represent again, lads? If it's just a symbol of tolerance towards "everyone", there'd be no problem with lighting up the Munich stadium, would there? What a load of shit.

These days he and Moritz Volz would have a podcast.
