Someone dropping a glass or plate in the restaurant, and one wag piping up 'sack the juggler'.
What "core British values" has "the left" not defended? Can someone ask this sentient fucking saucepan what he means?
Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"

I want five bands you can't fucking stand

Queen
Oasis
Simply Red
Radiohead
Chumbawumba

I'll have a go.

Queen
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Fleetwood Mac
Black Eyed Peas
Mumford and Sons

Not a band but a dishonourable mention for Ed Sheeran, the abysmal twat.

Coldplay
Elbow

Everton's tactics are so 1 dimensional. Move it round the back four, pass it to Ndiaye, he gets crowded out, get the ball back rinse repeat.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

"That's because A-family chords contain open strings (strings that you play without pressing down any notes ).

"What my parents never really understood was that most families just rubbed along anyhow."

The fun thing about Alan Bennett is that your mind automatically reads his books in his voice.

Well, that is three points I was not expecting today. #UTFT #Everton

Get that feeling that early chance is the only one Everton are going to get.

Anyone know any snowplough drivers in Minnesota? Just wondering if there are more 'useful' places to dump all their snow 'and ICE'?

Come on Everton, pull your finger out! Even Reform have managed to sign on a new RIght Winger.

You know what, I am really enjoying this reboot of Linley on #BBC. Good chemistry between Linley and Havers, good support. Hope they make more beyond this initial 4 episodes.

Ok this rules: unstream.stream

Looking for a way to support a musician directly? Like a way to buy their music or kofi or patreon or anything other than streaming?

This app someone made shows places you can do that. Search for an artist, find their platforms, give them love.

Really dig this.

Been bugging me who this ref reminds me of, in the Everton game. Alan Ruck.

Everton accidently playing some football there.

Would love to see Beto's touch map this game.

This needs sharing far and wide. An incredible song, with an incredible vocalist.
45 or 50 years ago, a song this fantastic would land its performers on every "Top 40" radio station in the United States of America.
Now, tho', bc such a song has no special "genre" space to grow in, it has to wait + hope to be found by...somebody.
