Cnut was an 11th century king of England (and Denmark). He has nothing to do with ‘traditional modern history’ - which I may or may not doubt. Some of the bible reflects actual history (through a...

King Cnut is so misunderstood.

His ‘turning back the waves’ stunt was to make fools of his fawning courtiers who - trying to get in his good books - made stupid claims for his powers.

Yes it was.

You are re-writing history. The government jumped on the ‘clap the NHS workers’ bandwagon long after it had started. And from what I saw most health (and other essential) workers appreciated a...

The Pogues.

Jesus H Christ, you don’t half talk some bollocks!

Name that cult!

Yes it does. :thumbup:

I have figured it is not about principle or integrity.

This is another shameful decision by Starmer. Pathetic. Elphicke is a right wing Tory. Meanwhile genuine lifelong Labour members are suspended or blocked from standing in elections despite support...

No we all won’t.

Me too.

The cars behind always appreciateva polite left signal when I move in front of them - if they happen to look up from their texting!

No leap at all.

Maybe you should re read some of your own posts?

It wasnt that long ago you were amazed that Israel had taken as long as they had to force Palestinian arabs off their land so...

I agree with most of that. Low turnout makes GE predictions based on the Local Election votes a nonsense. I think the rolling polls - maybe adjusted for a late Tory upturn - are the best guide.

Maybe bids for Ng, Rubin and McGuinness?

And Burnley might be looking at some of our youngsters?

I'm baffled about the results of the local elections after looking through various different media sources.

The BBC say: Tories - 474 seats; Labour + 186

After Watergate I thought Rotherham had reached rock bottom. But no! The twats have been feeding laxatives to the pigeons roosting above the away end. Evil!

I don't know who you are talking about with that last bit, but my view is that Israel and the Palestinian paramilitary groups should all be held to the same standard - compliance with international...

He has done a few.

He converted £68m and £8m debt to equity in 2016; £12.6m in 2017; £66.4m in 2018.... maybe more in the intervening years.... and £25.6m in 2022. He also regularly wrote off...

What is the injured/unavailable situation for Rotherham? If I understood Bulut right in his pre-match press conference it is:

Jak Alnwick, Mark McGuinness, Perry Ng, Josh Wilson-Esbrand, Aaron...

Interesting.

If Netanyahu is ousted from power in Israel, he becomes very vulnerable to the ICC.

Another reason for him to push the Forever War against Palestine. Self interest.

In the last 40 years of Queen Victoria's rule there were tens of millions of deaths from man made (trade policy led) famines in India. The numbers are disputed and sometimes the timeframe slips to...

For some reason Pirlo is used as a comparison more than any other footballer. (Joe Bloggs, the Forest Green Pirlo!)

I have no hard statistics for that but I'm sure it's true.

Over the past six months, we’ve seen the horrors of Israel’s war on Gaza unfolding on our TV...

You are right - I missed him when I was skimming through Cardiff squads on Wiki.
