I'm more of a summer person but I love spring as the prelude to it - that time of the year when you know the cold and miserable weather is gone for another six months and there's sunshine to look forward to (mostly, anyway. Cos still British weather xD)

Palinha - Bentancur is not a goal scoring combo I saw coming but I am here for it. #COYS

Since the start of last season, sides managed by Thomas Frank have scored more Premier League goals in the opening five minutes than any other manager (6). (Squawka)

When it ends, because then we'll be closer to the return of spring.

Classics friends may enjoy this. Some of the Latin pronunciation is a bit weird, but the essence is spot on! 😆

Just a heads-up to anyone thinking the Loaded (ex-CDKeys) £32 #fm26 is a bargain - it is BUT it does not come with Early Access / Beta

It says it right at the top but, you know, people ain't that smart really

Dead battery? Dead charge unit? Happened to mine last year and turned out to be the fuse in the kettle lead plug had died. Which I only discovered after buying a new battery and a new charge pack. Of course it was the thing that I could have replaced for a tenner 🙄

Not to mention that the nomination window apparently closed back in January...

[Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking]

1
SOCRATES:
Plato..

PLATO:
Yes Socrates?

2
SOCRATES:
Can you tell me, are you human?

PLATO:
Why… yes, Socrates

3
SOCRATES:
And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is?

PLATO:
Um, yep

4
SOCRATES:
So you can tell me, then

5
[Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel]

SOCRATES:
*Is that a chariot*?

6
PLATO:
Well
that’s more just a bit of wheel

7
SOCRATES:
So not a *chariot*.

PLATO:
No.

8
SOCRATES:
[Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes]

So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*?

9
PLATO:
Well you can’t tap any of them really

10
SOCRATES:
So are we not human?

PLATO:
‘Spose not.

11
[Bleak pause]

12
PLATO:
I’ll get the hemlock

SOCRATES:
Yeah

[ends]

Spurs going into the break 2 points off the leaders and at worst in 4th place. Way better than I expected at this point.

There has been a tennis ball in my garden. I keep thinking it's the neighbours so I throw it back over the fence. He must think its mine so a couple of days later he throws it back. It's like a game of catch. This has been going on for 4 years

People like to claim that autistics are bad at communicating and like, my dude, the problem does not lie with us, it lies with the web of manipulation and lies and passive aggression and ulterior agendas that you weave around yourselves instead of just doing what we do, which is saying what we mean.
