Now I have done lots of, I guess you call it blue collar work, or worked with those who do it over the last 20 years, and I really got on with the dozens of Polish guys and girls I worked with, but the extent of benefit fraud going on was biblical. I don’t blame them, I’m just saying.

At least nobody’s woke anymore.

Pog’s no different from the rest us in this respect, we’d all like some 🇨🇭Francs under the mattress. The Vuelta participation is down to how he feels at the end of the Tour, the route and the weather forecast, I don’t think the early season races are too relevant.

Putin has conducted what must be one of the most successful subversion operations in history on the US. I know his country is falling apart, but still.

I hope whoever’s coming turns up.

I know patriotism is not a two-way thing but I think your Government should allow you to buy a lottery ticket if it expects you fight Russians in the icy tundra and forests.

Kubler in 1951 had a monstrous season I’ve read. As well as those two, Flèche, LBL, Swiss Champion, World Champion, 3rd in the Giro, Roma-Napoli-Roma.

🙁

Ok

Frightening and interesting. Although the Great Replacement Theory wasn’t novel in 2016, it’s been around for a century or more; Tom Buchanan in ‘The Great Gatsby’ for example.

All she wanted was Jean Luc😢

At least this one’s not dead.

For that kind of holiday it’s worth considering the Cinque Terra in Italy. You can go up and down the coast to the towns by rail and also walk on the coast path , it’s a bit cooler in October. It’s nice.

It’s a great album to dip in and out of. And it’s courageous. Lose this Skin, for eg, which I love.

I guess that’s noon.

In 1924 there were 8 murders per million London, in 2024 there were 12 per million. Petty theft and burglary was rife in 1924 and I imagine it was in 2024 too.

With the World Cup and the LA Olympics in the next 3 years. You assume that they’ll have a rethink on this.
