Thought I'd revisit our World Cup 2014 thread to see how that match played out on here.

Germany actively eased off on Brazil? That's taken the shine off things for me. The first half was the funniest thing I've ever watched, and a 13-0 howking with massive OTT samba celebrations after each goal would have made it even better.

They've only got £1 in capital, how are they going to afford us?!?!?!?!

My tumor is yuge. The biggest!

Mr Hilter says historically Taunton is a part of Minehead already!

They're almost certain to win the Peterborough by-election on Thursday, which will be a foot in the door in terms of legitimacy. Their campaign literature is remarkably slick for a "new" party, but then no one really believes there's anything new or grassroots about them. (EDIT: I mean the Brexit Party and not Change UK, obviously. )

Childish and futile, but that's fine by me. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/trump-protest-robot-trump-tweeting-golden-toilet/

I hope you correct the people around you when they sing "ganning along the Scotswood Road" both times.

It's almost like the situation is crying out for a centrist approach.

Can we not just put Marina in charge of everything? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/31/opium-drone-no-deal-tory-battle-conservative-leadership-race

Probably the only useful side-effect of his inability to get anything done, yeah.

Go home, 2019, you're drunk.

It's still a bit weird like. Are there exemptions for justified tactical voting? I'm sure there've been open "Labour voting Lib Dem to keep the Tories out" positions in by-elections before, say.

The turd that lad curled out at the Stadium of Light was firmer and more visible than Corbyn will ever be.

Glad they clarified it's not just a true story but a terrifying one, too.

Pretty much

Lewisham borough has 54 Labour councillors out of 54 total but just did this: https://lewisham.gov.uk/mayorandcouncil/elections/results/election-results-2019/european-election-2019-results/european-election-2019---lewisham-results Of course we don't do thirds, so we don't get to re-elect our councillors until 2022.

Man I miss these.

Dundee United just missed four out of four penalties in a shootout in the Scottish promotion/relegation playoff and still manage not to be the funniest failure of the day. Impressive.

This sounds terrible and I'm definitely going to try it.

Trekking halfway across London tomorrow morning to do the "pilgrimage" to Bushy parkrun, the original venue, because apparently that's a thing. Setting up & volunteering at our local junior parkrun on Sunday morning. Running in the Vitality London 10,000 on Monday morning. My life used to be booze and pies and lie-ins. What went wrong?
