Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors. There were 3 Germans, 4 Italians, 6 Swedes, 7 Dutchmen, 9 West Indians and an African, as well as 21 Americans, 63 Irish, 64 Scots, 441 English.... oh, and 3 French men, too.

Mrs B and I enjoyed the show. May be not at the Happy Valley level, but it's still a very good watch. I'd say the biggest complaint would be the two sisters characters aren't as strong as the other 3. Certainly well above the standard crap that gets put out.

Gonna be a long day at work today after staying up to nigh on 1am to watch this. But Canada's team are back. (and if they can somehow find a way to beat the Dodgers, the orange buffoon will go in to full meltdown)

Pretty crappy weekend of sports results. Jays threw away game 5, and Riders lost to Winnipeg on Friday, Leeds stank it up in Burnley, and Leafs lost to Kraken on Saturday (although at least Buckeyes did win). Really need Jays to bounce back tonight and end weekend on a positive by taking game 6.

How was that hitting Amad's arm any different from what was given against Ampadu in the Wales game?

Watched that John Candy documentary last night. It's very good but wow, certainly not the mood up-lifting televisual feast I needed after the #lufc performance.

Yay, chalk up another win for oil & gas

And the PFO letter from FIFA about the World Cup visa pre-draw ticket raffle arrived today.

Great, bloody Tories squeezed out a majority in provincial election. Don't get me wrong, the Liberals were utter dross, but now that's just going to be amplified. Yea, 4 years of even more debt, both personal and provincial, no doubt even worse anti-education budgets/policies, and oil&gas overdrive

Really dislike having to vote strategically to stop Tories getting in, but I guess that what being an adult is about

That's really lazy defending

That's bollocks. Where the fuck is he meant to put his arm

Looks like N. Ireland's had a goal disallowed against ze germans as well

RODON!!!!!!!

BREAKING: Prominent Palestinian journalist Saleh Aljafarawi has been killed by gunmen in Gaza City’s al-Sabra neighbourhood, making him one of more than 270 journalists killed since Israel’s war began in 2023. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/p49p9n

Today Leeds followed our forebears who kicked Oswald Moseley and his Facists out of the city at the Battle of Holbeck Moor and stood up to racism, the far right and said loud and clear”Refugees are welcome here”. This is Leeds

Between 1980 and 1984, Ibis won none of their 55 matches. Their goal difference over that period was minus 206. Ibis say this was the longest winless run in football history. They have attracted global fame as a result. @jacklang.bsky.social went to Brazil to meet them.

I mean, it's not exactly an earth shattering surprise, but FIFA are an utterly corrupt, morally bankrupt, organization, who don't give a flying f**k about the health of the game or the actual day-to-day real fans who are the actual lifeblood

It's OK to not be OK. There's no shame. The brain is an organ. Just like the pancreas or the lungs. You wouldn't be ashamed to ask for help with lung disease or diabetes. Mental health is no different. Any organ can get out of whack occasionally. The brain is no different.

Mr. Wakefield, we have some husky sounding geezer called RFK on the phone for you. Something about falsifying studies and fabricating data to meet pre-determined conclusions for personal financial gain

But,but immigrants are bad

Between this and the Nobel peace prize, the dictator-in-waiting to the South of me is going to be assembling an invasion strike team isn't he.

Circumcision. Can honestly say that was not on the bingo sheet of American anti-science idiocy to address in our first year course next semester

This is absolutely disgraceful behaviour by the named Universities

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Long may it continue

Sweet Jesus. It's almost as though Newfoundland & Labrador doesn't exist. Media standards really are quite pathetic these days (and The Athletic is generally one of the better ones). Halifax is NOT the most easterly city in Canada.

Competed well. Could, and perhaps should, be 3-3. Okafor causing problems when he gets on ball. Simons looks dangerous for them. We need to be careful with their counters. Get the feeling there's a red and/or a dodgy penalty in this ref

The World Cup is going to be an absolute mess isn't it

There were two paths for America and Lilith Fair was one of them. Sadly it chose the other | Emma Brockes

If a party puts a racist who called for people to be burned alive on its conference platform and she gets a hero’s welcome, I think there are valid inferences that can be drawn.

This should be a clarion call to every single urban mayor. As a policy, ULEZ probably felt like a complete moonshot - and an unpopular one at that. But it's worked. It should be a clarion call to the government too. Don't kowtow to the right wing media. In short: BE BRAVER.

Wilder sent off for kicking a ball in to the stands. Sheff Utd really have spectacularly imploded this season.

Remind me again what happened to the USA tourist, wine, and bourbon industries after the last time he went down this route. Elbows up!

Our world is hurtling into climate disaster and what do politicians give us? Oilfields and new runways | Bill McGuire

Rather than doing all the good things quietly and all the shitty things loudly, maybe Labour should shout about the good things it's doing and stop doing the shitty things altogether instead. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Colour me surprised. Poilievre diving even deeper into the Trump playbook and outright just making shit up to try and seed hatred and fear.

Be CLEAR to ensure methodological and data transparency

ICE agents are just brainless thugs aren't they? People who were too stupid and violent and racist to be accepted in the police. Imagine being too stupid and violent and racist for the US police?

3 (THREE) mass shootings in one day. But yeh, nothing whatsoever to see in the USA, and no gun problem at all.

And there's a new class topic for the Winter course. Just this week the President of our southern neighbours has given us - Tylenol, autism, vaccines, and now med beds. And I feel like I'm missing something else. Just waiting for him to weigh in on the gene modification for Huntington's.

Be nice if Europe can get 8.5 points today and break the 20 point mark in the #RyderCup

If you all could avoid posting about the second half that would be appreciated. Switching over to watch the rugby final, then watching #lufc second half on delay after

For anyone interested in what I actually get paid to do when I'm not spouting shit on here. This was a special talk, accessible to the general public, as part of the University's 100th anniversary celebrations. #HumanBiosciences #MUN
