36 minutes ago, Octopus of Odstock said:We could do with a few more points if the EFL decide to fuck us over yet again with a 9 point deduction. If we beat Blackpool and Cheltenham remain on 41, then we'll breathe easier.
Aye, a fair point - Carlisle could do with the four teams above them being deducted 20 points each!
Even the EFL wouldn't contemplate that!

Bear in mind they're in a playoff position (5th) but the two teams just outside the playoffs could overhaul them on Saturday. Barnsley and the two teams just outside (Oxford and Blackpool) all have games against teams with nothing to play for so the form book says Barnsley are in the playoffs, but still a daft time to ditch the manager, unless you've tapped up a better one and that person's in place by 12-30 Saturday

Dipping into this serious book on ufology this morning by way of researching summat, thought to put the dates of birth and death of Sturrock into what I'm writing only to discover he's still around and turned 100 last month: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_A._Sturrock
Definitely the chance of an obit somewhere, esp.the kind that'd count in the more permissive pools

Think so too, also think there are a few factions out there incl. Braverman's little posse all of whom think they are in with a chance - if Sunak is in the position of facing a vote it'll likely get divisive, ugly and do nowt for their already dire poll ratings.

8 hours ago, Commtech Sio Bibble said:This doesn't actually work for me as I'm in one of the many constituencies that have been gerrymandered by the Tories for the upcoming election, consequently I find that The Electoral Calculus site is more effective and up to date.
Yeah, thinking an anti-Tory vote round my way probably doesn't make that much difference. Current prediction on Electoral Calculus is that the Tory lead comes down from 35% to 17%, but they're back in.

7 hours ago, Father Brown said:Talk of a no confidence vote in Sunak after the locals. If the letters do start coming in, I can see him legging it to the palace.
Suella Braverman on the Today programme a few minutes back spent the opening part of her usual grandstanding interview going over righteous stuff about how she works for her constituents etc., and why the job of the party is to win the next general election. So she thinks there's a chance of a leadership election before they go to the country, then

Cunts.

One of the Tory rags is very keen on a by-election in Ashton-Under-Lyne

The irony being RFK is more in need of votes than the two yer man was railing against before he went up in flames.

Why would he? The guy was clearly not a fan of Trump (or the other guy for that matter).
Aye, maybe a bit subtle with the irony there by way of updating the thread to record the poor sod's death. Already seen some online banter about going straight to interring the ashes since the man himself thoughtfully arranged the cremation without stiffing his family with the costs!

It'd be a nice touch if Trump bothered to attend the funeral, though

Dunno where else to post this, seen on a mate's social media - snapped in a UK motorway services:

I think I might have been the first person on Deathlist to - ahem - finger her for future use, that was ages - like over a decade - ago when she turned up in a documentary, discussed surviving the holocaust and indicated she was terminally ill.
There's more life and joy in that face than in 77-year-old Donald Trump's mugshot

Aye, not sure I trust all the online speculation. Does anyone know for sure who these "bad people" are?

18 hours ago, time said:Michael Donovan, conspirator in the Shannon Matthews 'kidnapping', dead aged 54.
For the young 'uns who don't recall the TV show Shameless this bizarre kidnapping (which was faked) part of the inspiration was taken from the TV drama set in Manchester and in a bizarre twist much later, during the last series of Shameless there's a discussion between two characters, one of whom is local gangster Shane McGuire about the stupidity and likely lack of success if you fake a kidnapping.

So, if you want to watch the beautiful game in Rotherham next season, keep your eyes on the visiting teams!

On 15/04/2024 at 16:24, DCI Frank Burnside said:And who made those mistakes Liz ? Hmmmmm
She's widened and got way flabbier round the face than when she was PM. Actually looks stressed and pretty rough. Some time in her constituency doing the basics might be good for her, not that she seems interested

5 hours ago, DCI Frank Burnside said:Isn't Truss one of the few Tories that's probably guaranteed to retain their seat.
On paper yeah, but it's a triple curve ball situation, there'll be a Reform candidate, the local independent is making it clear he favours standard Tory policies but he's a local guy who gives a shit about his constituents (something she has a reputation for not doing), and there's the tactical voting that appears to be happening and being targeted on particular individuals (Hunt, for one is vulnerable to this), so Truss could find it being squeaky bum time, even if she has a job after the election
-
Oh aye, and...
Eyebags noticeably bigger and his face/neck have got thinner of late. Tbh, take away the power suit/make up and hair and he looks old and tired. Not sure he's sleeping anywhere near enough.

Chris Mason's digest of the main threads in Truss's new book linked below - Sunday Times discussed the advances (financial) on this, which were fairly low (less than £2000 in the UK), and also the 71-year-old independent standing against her at the next election (point being the guy's basically a Conservative and very big on actually representing local issues in parliament). Truss could hang on and keep peddling her personal brand of Conservatism, or it could all go to even more shit in the next few months. Interesting times, eh?
