I've just checked and it turns out it's another win for the Bad Guys

#SUAF
Can you confirm if that was a win for the good guys or the bad guys?

France kicked off the 2025 Six Nations in pretty emphatic fashion, smashing an off-the-pace Welsh side. But with four rounds yet to go, how did Les Bleu do it, is there any hope for Cymru, and can France go all the way?

Strong gusts along the East coast tomorrow Sunday around lunchtime could bring some brief issues at Dublin Airport. Gusts along the South and East coastlines could be over 100kmh. A very wet and windy Sunday ahead for all which could bring some more power outages.

When you refuse to call a Nazi salute what it is, I think the only reason to do so is to allow yourself to continue covering a Nazi without feeling complicit.

Accepting that it was what it was demands you make a choice.
I've watched the video ~two dozen times. The gesture, which is done twice, seems both bizarre and familiar. He pats his open hand to his heart, before extending his arm palm down above his head with a grunt and pursed lips. Then he turns around and does it again.

Main memory of this place that a mate got married in a nearby church and as our taxi pulled up outside my very Irish wife saw the statue of Cromwell and fuelled by hundreds of years of generic hatred involuntarily yelled “RAM THE BASTARD!”
Oliver Cromwell's house festooned with Christmas lights. The man would be spinning in his grave, if he hadn't already been exhumed and dismembered.
