This is fascinating and like a lot of the old landed peerage you get to a point in their history where one of the Lords lost everything to wine, women and song 👇🏼

Absolutely ridiculous that there's an FA Cup game being played at 8pm on a Saturday night.
Every now and then the FA ask how do they rejuvenate the Cup. One would be stop selling the game out to the highest bidder and make sure the TV companies show matches no later than 16:30 k.o

The building has been identified as an ideal site due to the excellent public transportation and highways linkages and the current shortage of nurseries within the immediate vicinity
An historic former Wigan pub would become a nursery school if planning permission is given.

Mrs DoS has what looks like an abscess in her tooth. She's been filling it with temporary filling from off the Amazon.
Bang goes my Valentine's bonus.
Although, I did get to say “I told you so” so in a way, it's a bonus.

The thing with the Winter Olympics is you start off with a bit of freestyle skiing, then you watch the snowboarding, then the next thing you know you’re knee deep in the skeleton bob. It’s…
(Wait for it)
It’s…

It’s a slippery slope

Ten minutes in and Warrington already look better than they did last season. They did manage to offload three knobheads over winter.

You want young people who will have to work until they are 70 to pay £bns to people who thought, incorrectly, they could retire at 60?
Young people who have had none of the advantages that the baby boom generation had?
How about trying to justify that gross unfairness?
