Reliable proof has 11 basic building blocks: Thorough research; Nope Thoughtful evaluation of the quality of each source; Nope Careful notetaking and documentation; Nope Unbiased appraisal of the informant for each piece of information; Haha Accurate interpretation of the information each source provides; What? Knowledgeable placement of that information in relevant context; Nope Skilled correlation of the details yielded by all the records; Chuckle Creative milking of clues that point to new resources; Partial, will allow "creative milking" Critical analysis of the evidence drawn from the sources, individually and collectively; Nope Logical rebuttal of any and all evidence to the contrary; Absolutely nope A written summation of the evidence that supports our conclusion—not a list of sources but a well-reasoned explanation of why we believe the body of evidence justifies our conclusion.

Glad it wasn't wasted

Most likely the ones not being selected. Dyche bought Long, gave him ten games in the championship and then loaned him out to Fleetwood, Bolton and Northampton for the rest of his contract. Dyche unlikely to be top of his saturnalia card list in the circumstances I'd have thought.

You're stupid. But I respect your right to be so, and anyone who disagrees with me will get a slap Happy spring break all.

I didn't watch it though, it was @Tonsta sir, he made me do it (I saw him buying an unconsecrated ovoid shaped fermented cacao seed confection as well).

100% correct.

"Nothing is sacred! I want my hot cross buns!" "Why don't you buy some then?" "Because Iceland have put ticks on them instead of crosses the heathen bastards, and I'm a god fearing man, I want bloody crosses on my buns" "Do they not sell them with crosses on?" "Yes, but that's not the point...I want to buy my hot cross buns in a place that only sells them with crosses on, why should I have to shop in the same place as stinking tick worshipping infidels?" "Have you considered going to Tescos?" "Fuck off!" "Don't be like that, here, take this chocolate egg as a gesture of goodwill."

I obviously didn't get the memo Religious festivals being exploited for commercial gain? Unheard of! Whatever next?

That's what my lad said

Great to see Southgate with a young, highly rated, left footed centre back on the pitch bench...only a friendly so we should be looking to the future. Dunk then demonstrates why you shouldn't play a shite, aging, right-sided centre back on the left. Southgate is a total clown.

Cracking pass from Jordan earlier, just a shame he forgot Amadou's playing for the opposition

According to the BBC match commentary Romelu Lukaku is an, "ex-Chelsea and Manchester United man". Played 166 games for us and a combined total of 155 for them But we're not worthy of mention obviously.

Animal print fabric, leopard skin in particular; looks great on a leopard, shite on a person...cave dwelling homo sapiens 150.000 years ago I give a pass to.

Good fun actually, found an bit of software I used to use for video editing on an old laptop...this is my wife

How very dare you I've suffered for my art, now it's your turn

Got a new back-up phone coming tomorrow, and decided to do some photo tinkering for a cover (if it's good enough for the royals). Just a little touch-up as you can see, hope the tabloids don't get hold of it

Subject matter of that aside (Tottenham stadium F1 track?), it's a prime example of a fawning interviewer which is a real pet hate of mine. The prevalence of totally obsequious "questioning" is embarrassing, and with the rise of the podcast every man and his dog are having a go at it. Worst culprit for me is Nihal Arthanayake on 5live, dreadful. "He who praises everybody, praises nobody." Samuel Johnson. Anyway. No doubt King's Dock would've been epic, but it's old news, so we're just left with the unedifying spectacle of an old guy slagging off a dead guy. Let it go.

Sad you feel that way. Can you be a bit specific, what exactly are you fearful of? And how do you think Liverpool will change?

If they're allowed to stay they're not illegal, and people who arrive here by "irregular" routes mostly claim asylum so they can only properly be described as illegal (despite what the tories pretend) once their application has been processed, two thirds are successful in those applications. I've not seen immigrants living on the streets, or heard reports of such a thing, so it would appear that it is possible to accommodate them.

Nobody thinks mass illegal immigraton is good for the country. How does an immigrant get to be "tick-boxed" if they're unchecked? Yes. You're entitled to your opinion.

Looking for such a party is a bit of a pointless exercise though isn't it? Everybody of every political persuasion truly believes that their views are sensible, humane and decent. It's certainly something to strive for, but sometimes it's not easy. We're both old enough to have been around pre the 1968 race relations act, when it was acceptable to treat minorities as second class citizens. Had the word been in general use back then, there's no doubt that those who first suggested reform would've been described as "woke" (in the derogatory rather than enlightened sense). Fortunately they eventually won the argument; human evolution is great sometimes.

Duke of Kent, "The St George's flag...was adopted by London and England in 1190, for their ships entering the Meditteranean, to benefit from the protection of the Genoese fleet. The English Monarch paid an annual tribute to the Doge of Genoa for this privilege." https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=BBkvDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT82&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false

No point in carrying on with this, my point is purely that the right is influencing the political climate in an extremely negative (in my opinion) way, plainly a lot of people are happy about it. Fortunately the majority are not. I know full well, as I've said, that you're not right wing, and just because you agree with one of their opinions it doesn't make you so. We'll just have to disagree about the flag, nobody is making a mockery of it at all, and equating it to English "culture and values" is ridiculous. Culture and values evolve do they not? They certainly should, or do you yearn for the good old days of fuedalism, of religious and racial bigotry? May sound daft you're the one dreaming of the halcyon days of 1348 Just as another thought, the logo of that well known liberal group, the popular conservatives (an oxymoron if ever I heard one). When are their tabloid buddies going to lose their shit over them disrespecting ("are you disrespecting me?") the flag and/or making a mockery of British culture and values?
