become a grass for south yorkshire police

South Yorkshire police are looking for grasses. What usually happens is people report their fellow neighbours for earning a little extra money for doing tax free work while claiming benefits, rather than the rich being punished for their law breaking, as it's a different set of rules for them. Obviously I would never condone such behaviour, but for those thinking of responding, l have an example.

liz truss - worse than you think

In news that will surprise no-one, apparently Liz Truss considered cutting Cancer Care to fund tax cuts after her and Kwasi Kwarteng's disastrous budget. I actually think she may have a mental problem of some sort (although she's being richly compensated).

what's happened to the epstein files?

 A reminder that it's been a while since Jeffrey Epstein was imprisoned and 'Took his own life', and to date, the only person being punished is Giselle Maxwell. It's about time the guilty sex offenders who took advantage of the young girls were bought to court. Then again, it's not exactly earth shattering news that being rich and powerful (shout out to Prince Andrew here) can head off lawsuits that the likes of myself would have no chance of defending.

idiots trying to blame the wrong people

Forgive me if l am stating the bleeding obvious, but hasn't Robert Jenrick and his party just been in power for the last 14 years, causing most of the problems?

And in other news, the fuckwit that goes by the name of Jeremy Clarkson tries to blame Keir Starmer (who's been in office for 6 / 7 weeks) for the plight of the farmers. Nothing to do with the 14 years of Conservative rule or Brexit of course. Knobheads. No wonder l drink.

car on fire outside the pub

A bit of excitement this evening as a car caught fire just up from the pub. The flames were pretty impressive at one time and everyone got out safely, so all well and good. It looks like the car l drive at work but thankfully it isn't. Certainly livened up the evening.

Nigel Farage sure hangs around and respects some dodgy characters. Farage obviously does not mind immigrants charged with sex trafficking and rape, as long as they are not black, despite his so called concern for women and girls. I certainly wouldn't have expected that from the lying, grifting, piss taking racist. Stop the Boats my arse.

my friends son - the model

 I'm a fan of bootleg lps and obviously have a few of them lying around, although it is definitely a case of buyer beware as some can be atrocious. I don't know about the sound quality on this one, but it does not bode well if they can't even get Gram Parson's name right on the cover.

I'm no expert, but l have had to administer First Aid and I am trained to do so, but that monstrosity on Donald Trump's ear has not been applied by a Health Professional, and is obviously for show. Who would have predicted he would try and milk the injury for all it's worth? It's so unlike him.

england's failed delivery

Get rid of Gareth Southgate.  Way too cautious and defensive, and we've got to the final more through luck, perseverance and individual moments from outstanding talents, not good management. I still haven't forgiven him for the way we capitulated after going ahead against Italy in the last Euros, when we had them on the ropes and should have gone for it, rather than dropping back and inviting the pressure, as they have done so often. England had a decent 30 minutes in the first game, an excellent first half against The Netherlands, and rode their luck for the rest of the tournament, against some teams that were nowhere near top flight, apart from Spain.

the possible first ever england euros win

Trust me on this - This will be the conversation amongst many in the pub before this evenings game. The thing is, I agree with the general sentiment (although not in such a harsh way). When having these discussions, blokes (and it generally is blokes) are obviously referring to the mens football team, and their history, plus their own personal experiences and history of supporting them, sometimes going back decades, and it's that history that make the odd win extra special. The womens football achievements are separate, the same as an England (mens) under 21 team, or an England paraplegic team winning their tournaments would be. All representing England and rightfully proud of their achievements, but also separate from each other and their own sometimes marvellous achievements. It's the history of defeats, poor performances, mismanagements, bad luck, rivalries and embarrassments that make occasional victories sweeter. The same as club football. Anyway, heading there in a few minutes, so l will find out.
