I think Rogue 1 is essential.

It's ironic that we've created AI & and its servers require so much power. It could accelerate our demise & we wouldn't even realise...

It was like having posh crisps with your dinner. Quite rebellious as a kid in the seventies.

Really dont like where this is going. I would hazard a guess that future data centres will be within the boundaries of the proposed SEZs?

Who'd have thought that not buying a striker in the summer would result in this?
(OK, DCL, but he's not exactly prolific).
Something needs to change, or we are going back to the championship.

It could be 70 Graham & we'd still not score.

Tells you something when no one even wants Harrison on loan now.

Bit of trivia about the cover. Looks suspiciously like one of Noel Sharp's highly detailed locomotive drawings.
Noel worked at Doncaster Works & I've seen some of his original drawings. Really talented guy (presuming it is one of his).

For a man who claims his innocence, this smacks of desperation.

An all time favourite.

The theme here seems to be that many of these philanthropists seem to have feet of clay.
Does this suggest that their generosity, of giving back to society, is an act of contrition for the accumulated wealth?

Kind of wish his parents didn't.

Interesting evening. I've been accused of being an idealist & out of touch with reality for not wanting to sink every dinghy that crosses the channel. Hey ho!

I'm still amazed that many people who think Reform is the answer, have no idea what the ECHR is!

The ones that do think it only applies to immigrants & refugees.

Oh God, we are doomed.

I'm pretty sure that, if it was me, I'd be getting an early wake-up call from the local constabulary & invited to spend some quality time in one of their fine establishments.

I think we are already there. If we ever discovered life beyond our planet, there are some who would, without doubt, declare war on it.

I saw a recent post from a woman in the US complaining that her car (a Kia) had crumpled like polystyrene when she ran into something.
She saw it as poor quality, but there was a queue a mile long explaining that she was unharmed was for that very reason. People, eh?

Think it's fair to say that rich people's assets can't leave because they've already left. That's why the owners of said assets aren't paying tax. Have I got that right?
