Just to confirm, the referee in the Liverpool game who had an unobstructed view of an incident from five yards away has reviewed the video and concluded he made a clear and obvious error? I mean, credit to him for a bold admission.

This actually does logistically work, as long as you reintroduce slavery.

I think you should be allowed a gun for "self defense" as long as you can prove you have the skill to fire and hit a bullet that's mid-air on its way to you, clay pigeion style.

Just watched the ITV "history of the news since 1955" and holy fuck does everything go to shit from 2016. It's a cliche but it's also true.

No idea what this does to revenue in practice, but simple principle should be personal allowance is whatever full time work on minimum wage is, and higher rate starts at median salary level.

Bit behind with WWE but I got to the match where the guy does his finisher and the other guy kicks out and the first guy sits there with a shocked expression and the crowd chant "this is awesome".

A man bought one of his daughters a pair of ballet skirts from Sainsburys.

He had to go back through next week for more.

His other daughter was partial to two Tu tutus too.

I have known Ghostwatch was a drama for 33 years and am a pro wrestling viewer who is inherently sceptical about media, and have seen dozens of pieces about it. And yet for some reason I only just found out/realised it was not broadcast live. Total Mandela effect.

4FW posts that Bryan Kendrick is their new junior-heavyweight champion.

Three different people post, non-ironically, that he's too old to be a junior.

My sister-in-law spotted her daughter (five or six) using the computer unsupervised for the first time. She later checked the search history to find she'd simply typed "numberjacks videos please".

One day in Coronation Street: Eva's husband buys her a pub as a surprise. Next day: her name is over the door.

I'm not quite sure that's how licensing works.

Never became as popular as "ET Phone Home" did it
A drawing of ET waving at us on the cardboard packaging for a 1980s product called "E.T. Punch Balls" As this is a repost of a Feb 2023 tweet of mine, found here https://x.com/DemonTomatoDave/status/1623464715077795840?s=19 , I have taken this photo from the No Context E.T. account who posted it there, and who originally I retweeted.
