(okay, so I guess it's "the Civil Service is full of radical pro-trans activists and it would reflect this 'truth'" but when people say "if you made x today this character would be y" it's generally not said in that way)

... ... ... I am fascinated as to what she thinks the point of "Yes, Minister" even was?

Hey, be fair: the timeslot (singular, for 4-6 games a week, of the 6 total) also clashes with basically all womens' grassroots football.

.... is it even normally a big show?

[for clarity: they did catch the stray lower-case i pretty quick, and also there are a lot of upvotes for it because wait I thought the actual draw bit started like half an hour ago? With a gag 'rigged' draw for the hosts for some reason?]

(granted, I went to Manchester at a point where the path on one side of the road near where I was staying was blocked for some works or another, and the other side had an active building site on it, but even on the other side of the city I had issues)

See, "oppressive and difficult to navigate" was my experience of Manchester when I went - I didn't really experience it as much in Birmingham (like, I didn't go there super often when I was at uni, but I don't recall ever getting lost like I did in Manchester).

... y'know, it kind of makes sense that the US doesn't have that type of sausage roll, but also wow this was still a surprise to read.
(...god, now I fancy a Gregg's vegan 'sausage' roll)

(Like, Blanchard getting the only yellow card there is wild - Cain and Tierney probably should've got yellows too (and Palace #15. And Blanchard maybe two yellows at once?) - but my god the attempts at defence are embarrassing)

What, no, clearly Olivia McLoughlin (the Leicester player already on the floor) deliberately tripped her up somehow, with her back and/or head.[/s]
(Also, RLJ was just protecting a teammate(???), and shoving is far more rare and serious than wrestling takedowns, which happen all the time)

(bonus tag for @charlieparkes.bsky.social, since it's rare _good_ news regarding a potential LCFCW injury)

Isn't it already fairly limited? (Like, you have to have grounds for appeal in the first place! Unless it's now to have another layer of permission to appeal gatekeeping?)

... I was about to be incredulous but no I can actually believe that (like, my Primary school first got an IT suite while I was there (Year 4 or 5, so circa XP's release) and I can see people my age just having not used a computer until Year 7, which just hits the Vista release)

Oh, _that's_ why I vaguely recognise him! (also, tbh, I can conceive of people younger than us (...and thus also Will from the Inbetweeners) drawing that conclusion from the toy-specific catalogues of their own childhood? Which is, uh, really on Argos but anyway...)
