a knives out mystery - wake up dead man

How have l missed these films in the past? 'Wake Up Dead Man' is top notch film making and an unexpected (to me at least) delight. I saw a couple of minutes of one of them a few years ago with Daniel Craig in a pool talking in a funny accent but it never appealed to me at the time, but after watching this l went back and binged the earlier ones. All superbly executed and acted, and l have since ordered the DVD of 'Brick', the first of writer / director Rian Johnson's offerings. Very well played to all, and more as soon as possible please.

the legality of attacking venezuela

 


ffs labour - get a grip

 It's one thing being coy and evading questions on Venezuela (although they should condemn it), but Greenland? FFS It's time Labour showed some backbone. This is not a difficult answer to give, and if it is they don't deserve to be in power (and l'm a Labour supporter).*

here we go again... ruben amorim has gone

Here we go again. Another manager gone, this time it's Ruben Amorim, lasting for 14 months, and of course just as we are starting to see signs of improvement and the football was improving. He still hasn't had a full season, the squad is rubbish, and we reached a European final last year, despite him coming in half way through the season when he didn't want to (probably because of this scenario). Yes there have been some awful games, but this is easily our best spell and we've had some great results against some top teams, and better performances and fighting for the team / showing team spirit have been there recently, plus a week to prepare for games and improve tactics and set pieces with all the squad back was an option for the second half of this season, with the belief growing (slowly l'll admit). No one benefits from the constant chopping and changing, and it undermines each manager as players know they might not be there for the long run, so if players decide not to put a shift in there are less consequences. I'd at least given Ruben till the end of the season and access it then. This however, is crap, but he's obviously had a falling out with someone at the club questioning him recently.

nigel farage as two faced as ever part 565565655

I'm old enough to remember the Brexit he pushed for was about 'sovereignty / taking back control / not being ruled by leaders we didn't appoint"  What a spineless money grabbing lying racist twat he is.
