My son ruined Newcastle's winner for me the other night because his smartwatch got the notification before the TV caught up.

Marvellous.

I have sold none online, just 13 that were sold at an in-person reading.

Is Carol Vorderman standing for the Greens? She did really damage to the Tories from the sidelines last time.

I for one wish you were.

The scientific evidence is limited either way.

Depends what level the club plays at. At the bottom, he does that, at the other he hires someone for millions of pounds, fires them 5 weeks later then keeps doing that until he runs out of money.

I went to see Stirling Uni v Broxburn in the Lowland League. Like the Spireites, it was 3-2, but to the students' side. Around 75 Broxburn away fans. I sat with them for the second half and they weren't impressed by the terrible defending for the 93rd minute winner after they came from 2 down.

We should win, but they'll be playing a low block, and Paul Cook hasn't got Pep's budget to get players doing tippy tap!

Yes, it avoids talking about feelings, for starters. Forest or Spurs, who has the worse chairman?

I must have imagined the last 5 elections I've voted by mail in the UK. It has been tightened, though, as we've been subjected to the same anti-mail rhetoric here. All to save about 6 illegal votes.

Mine was better.

We know China is a security threat and a repressive regime. But now the US is too. So the UK and Canada will go for the stable dictatorship rather than the insane, shouty one.

Mine was for probate costs when my mum died in 2018. Before that, 2016. Before that, 2012.

I still have a cheque book but I can't remember when I last wrote one. Must be long before Covid.

Why am I not surprised that he can't, or won't, use a computer?

The Harlan Coben ones are great. So many twists, completely bonkers, but they get to an end and don't come back.

Look over there- Greenland!!! Have you noticed whenever the heat turns up he resurrects one of his idiotic impractical ideas to distract attention?

This is why the city property owners would fight UBI to the death. They hated the Work from Home concept and made up all sorts of excuses to block it.
