I'd love to. Not only would he insist on getting every round in, but hed put enough behind the bar for next time and slip you a twenty for a kebab and cab home.
Mmm. But he will one day come knocking for a "favour" and then like Enzo the baker you will be stuffed.

Do you ever have a good word about SKS ?
SKS will be supporting the correct team at 16:30?
There both mediocre at best at the moment. But I think Arsenal have better future prospects compared to Spurs.Who seem to be going backwards. Also not a great time to open a new stadium.
That's what the "experts" on the Sunday Supplement were saying this morning. Come 18:30, if Spurs have won, then it'll be the other way around.
Whatever the result, I am more than happy to take our players and Arteta over Spurs' current squad and Mourinho.
Ceballos is quality, and the young kids, esp Saka are a breath of fresh air
Spurs in such bad form though that this would be a good time for them to play us, they arent as bad as they have been playing recently surely?
I'm not sure Spurs are in that bad form. Drawing at Bournemouth is pretty poor, but look what happened to Chelsea at Sheff Utd yesterday.
We have improved, winning at Wolves was very impressive. But I'm not very confident today.
They were horrendous at Sheff U and home to Everton. I think we are the better team now, first time I have been able to say that in years. Today is a toss up, any result could happen.
So glad they got rid of Poch and bringing in Jose the mercenary was perfect. Them not winning the Champions League in the year my son was born was also a huge relief!

Do you ever have a good word about SKS ?
I don't dislike him, I just think he comes across as boring and nerdy, and that is a major hurdle for someone who wants to become PM from opposition to face. The only PMs we have had recently who were devoid of charisma were Brown and May, and they didn't get there via public vote.
If I had to say a good word for him, I'd probably say he seems like a nice, honest person who means well. I liked Ed Miliband, I was rooting for him, and Starmer is quite similar - I guess the difference is that everyone slaughtered Ed and loves Keir which I don't get at all, so I argue against it - they are the same.
I think many people could see SKS as PM . Whereas they could not with Milliband, Kinnock. English voters especially, seem to like an English barrister as PM, as they did with Blair. I know he could be described as a Scot but was perceived as English.
SKS is reassuring in a way that Corbyn was not.
Yes all that is quite true, Starmer looks like someone who could play the role of PM in a film. Everyone is entltled to their opinion, I would like to be convinced to vote Labour, my family always do and I always did. I just don't think Starmer has the charisma to get people voting for him over Boris, and I think a charismatic LotO is vital

What poll was that? Can you give the detail?
I think you'll find that views of your beloved Boris have totally collapsed in recent weeks.
Misleading to say that more people consider Keir Starmer likeable than do Boris Johnson.
The question was "to what extent do you agree that xxx xxx is likeable"
40% said they agreed with that statement for Boris, and 40% said so for Starmer (although more said they "strongly agreed" for Boris so he edges it)
The don't know/don't cares were 23% for Boris and 39% for Starmer.
Boris is considered "brave" by more people (35/30), yet the net score favours Starmer. Nonsense if you are using it to think about who might win more votes!
I don't think it's the net score that matters, but the positives. Ed Miliband was more likeable than Nigel Farage, but was a less successful leader of his party
If two mates were on the pull, and walked into a bar where one was considered attractive by 40% , ugly by 40% and 20% had no opinion, they would be better off than the other being considered attractive by 30% ugly by 28% with 42% not caring, despite the net score favouring the latter
That does depend on there being no correlation between not caring or knowing and not voting.
And not caring and having sex I suppose.

The Rotherham coverup included attacks on all the mainstream politicians and journalists who tried to reveal the problem.
The coverup which gave Nick Griffin and the other scumbags their biggest opportunity in decades.
I note you didn't answer the second question. By your own theory of poor, frightened politicians scared to act on principle, surely after the much publicised 'coverups' the last few years would have been an ideal time to show a bit of backbone, yet not a peep until now..
In the face of a system that is quite prepared to attempt to criminalise telling the truth?* Why should they?
*There was an attempt to create a law that would have made telling the truth about Rotherham a racist offence. Apparently, this was a complete accident and wasn't intended. Nothing to see there. No, sir.
From Living Marxism through Toby 'Whiny' Young to rightwing randos, the conviction that truthtellers are penalised & persecuted is a strong and pervasive one.
You still haven't said whether Labour pols in Leicester are also off the hook.
I've heard a lot from Bridgen about Brexit and why we need folk the calibre of Rees-Mogg leading us, I don't remember anything from him about one in eight of the people walking the streets in Leicester East being a slave. Maybe looking in the wrong places.
Because attempting raise it before would have resulted in a charge of racism against him, and a serious attempt to get him thrown out of politics.
See Rotherham et al.

There was persistent, documented and admitted effort to suppress the truth. Journalists were threatened.
All politicians knew and did nothing.
Personally, I would summon a drum head court martial and execute all of them.
As to Leicester - those who knew should be sent to enlarge Rockall into a major base for the Royal Navy. With teaspoons.

I once went to such sweatshop (in a Midlands city, not Leicester). I was there for professional reasons. Never seen anything like it. It was quite a shock and me and the boss had to decide what to do once we had escaped and got back to the office. Tricky.
No, no, no, no. Do not do this to us again Dems. Stop this talk now and get out there and find working class and rural shy Trumpers who don't talk to pollsters and hate the cancel/woke culture and talk to them about economics.
Misleading to say that more people consider Keir Starmer likeable than do Boris Johnson.
The question was "to what extent do you agree that xxx xxx is likeable"
40% said they agreed with that statement for Boris, and 40% said so for Starmer (although more said they "strongly agreed" for Boris so he edges it)
The don't know/don't cares were 23% for Boris and 39% for Starmer.
Boris is considered "brave" by more people (35/30), yet the net score favours Starmer. Nonsense if you are using it to think about who might win more votes!
I don't think it's the net score that matters, but the positives. Ed Miliband was more likeable than Nigel Farage, but was a less successful leader of his party
If two mates were on the pull, and walked into a bar where one was considered attractive by 40% , ugly by 40% and 20% had no opinion, they would be better off than the other being considered attractive by 30% ugly by 28% with 42% not caring, despite the net score favouring the latter
That does depend on there being no correlation between not caring or knowing and not voting.
And not caring and having sex I suppose.
Isam is assuming that voting is like making love to a beautiful woman.
Not sure it is myself. It's not your civic duty to make love to a beautiful woman.
Speak for yourself!
☺ - CIVIC duty.
L’etat c’est moi?
You can try that line but she'll probably be unimpressed.
French can be a very romantic language
Yes. But it only works its full magic on someone who doesn't understand it.
Note to self: stop trying to pick up French chicks.
Now that's where your (I assume) impeccable RP English can carry all before it. But with same caveat - that they have no clue what you're saying.
I prefer California Gurls myself. But my Queen’s English works 😊
If it was taken in the last four months the infection rate was higher and there was even more reason for Starmer to wear a mask.
Monday!
After his PR team told him that people had loved Farage being in a pub on Saturday, and that him posting pics of getting his hair shampooed weren't going to stop people thinking he was boring
Rishi Sunak is boring. Definitely fails the "like to have a few jars with him" test. No way can people imagine themselves having a few jars with Rishi Sunak.
Well, he doesn't drink, but I think he is quite smooth actually - Keir is a proper stiff, he sounds like he is doing an impression of a nerd!
and yet the public don't seem to agree with you. It's almost as if the public are seeing through Johnson's vacuous waffle and looking for a proper leader.
On Personality, Boris leads Starmer by more than thirty points, so I am not sure the public, if that's what you call opinion poll panels, disagree with me at all
That's fantastic news if one wants a Benny Hill character running our country for the next ten years.
What Boris fanboy Isam has done here is taken just about the only positive number for his man in recent times and declared that that is the main criteria. In any case the data is now more than a month old
Try to leave the childish insults in their box Mike. I could bury you but I'd get banned, so play fair
Boris fanboy, an insult? I thought it was a lifestyle choice.
I've heard a lot from Bridgen about Brexit and why we need folk the calibre of Rees-Mogg leading us, I don't remember anything from him about one in eight of the people walking the streets in Leicester East being a slave. Maybe looking in the wrong places.
I once went to such sweatshop (in a Midlands city, not Leicester). I was there for professional reasons. Never seen anything like it. It was quite a shock and me and the boss had to decide what to do once we had escaped and got back to the office. Tricky.
What did you decide?
Not sure I can remember what we did. It was twenty years ago. I think we phoned the local council and left it with them.
I have come to the conclusion, having watched closely for the last four days, that there are just three problems with this England side.
These are (1) they can’t bat (2) they can’t bowl and (3) they can’t field.
(2) is the least serious problem as actually the bowling unit can do better than that, although Archer’s persistence in bowling short when he’s lethal bowling full is frustrating.
But if Butler is not dropped for Bracey (comparable keeper and much better red ball batsman) or Foakes (comparable red ball batsman and much better keeper) then the person who should be dropped, preferably from a great height, is Ed Smith.
And if England somehow contrive to win from here, the better side will definitely have lost.

Concerns over the ongoing situation of up to 10,000 garment workers in Leicester, who are feared to be trapped in conditions of modern slavery and paid £3 an hour, have been raised in Parliament.
Andrew Bridgen, MP for North West Leicestershire, raised a question on Tuesday about the continuing state of working conditions in factories supplying the UK’s booming fast fashion industry, and sought a meeting with business secretary Kelly Tolhurst for clarity over enforcement of the national minimum wage.
It may be weekend reporting effects but it looks like the Herefordshire spike is not ongoing. The column for yesterday is generally 0 in the data, but there are numbers elsewhere for the day before.

As opposed to a Starmer fanboy tweeting unweighted subsamples to try to make his man look good.

No. He has made a valid criticism of the article in your post, whereas your acusation of "childish insults" is itself a childish insult.

Effective, comfortable not too expensive and available would be nice.
'If you give it nowhere to go by aggressively going after it, making sure whoever has it is isolated, then it'll burn itself out.'
Presumably talking globally.
So glad they got rid of Poch and bringing in Jose the mercenary was perfect. Them not winning the Champions League in the year my son was born was also a huge relief!

Don't laugh, it's good. Whether it comes up to the standards being talked about in the article you linked I have no idea.
@Charles mentioned the following in a discussion we had about this the other day:
https://www.virustaticshield.com/
I have ordered one as an additional spare and/or better solution (not cheap though).
The Rotherham coverup included attacks on all the mainstream politicians and journalists who tried to reveal the problem.
The coverup which gave Nick Griffin and the other scumbags their biggest opportunity in decades.
By your own theory of poor, frightened politicians scared to act on principle, surely after the much publicised 'coverups' the last few years would have been an ideal time to show a bit of backbone, yet not a peep until now..
I think you'll find that views of your beloved Boris have totally collapsed in recent weeks.

I noticed a lot of contrails in the sky when I went for a walk this morning. I think air traffic is going beginning to ramp up.

Polls close in Poland at 8pm BST and my prediction is that Duda will win the second round of the presidential election with 51.2% of the vote.
Thanks to Alastair for the recent article and apologies to everyone who has had a punt on Trzaskowski, but I will be absolutely amazed if Duda loses.
Always ready to be proved wrong of course!
Thanks

Up to 200 workers have been told to self-isolate on the farm where they pick crops after 73 colleagues tested positive for Covid-19.
Vegetable producers A S Green and Co, in Herefordshire, has gone into lockdown after the positive tests.
Food and other essential supplies are being delivered to the farm, where the workers have been segregated into the mobile homes they live in.
The firm is also being supported by Public Health England (PHE).
Herefordshire Council, which has organised the supply of deliveries, believes the outbreak is "contained" on the farm.
