    There is something a little creepy about Assange. I don`t like to judge people, but I wouldn`t buy a second hand car from him.

    Or leave my other half alone in a room with him...

    This 'other half' would be quite happy to be left alone in a room with him...

    Would make a 5 year stretch a lot more attractive.

    If you've not discovered them already can I heartily recommend Ladybirds for Grown Ups. These make perfect toilet books as it takes as much time to read them as it does to take your ease.

    Today I was reading “The Ladybird book of the Do-Gooder”.

    “Sponsored Talk Like a Pirate Day has gone down very badly at The Samaritans.”

    Just as well I was sat on the toilet...

    Just watched it. Clearly the underdog but battling performance to win on pens.

    They got the rub of the green on a couple of penalty decisions. ;)

    Notre Dame burns down. I'm more angry than sad, so many old buildings undergoing "restoration" or "improvements" have suffered fires, its pure negligence and complacency.
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Notre Dame is certainly a saddening event, I agree that it is probably negligence and complacency and thus it should have been avoided.

    It is an even sadder sign of the times however, that I take some comfort that the fire was not the direct result of malicious intent.

    I work for a French company and have been lucky enough to travel to Paris a number of times, it is truly a beautiful city.

    The images were quite shocking to see

    Oh :whome:

    I`m not religious, but I love old churches and cathedrals, very peaceful and atmospheric, wherever we go on holiday, home or abroad, I love a mooch. The thing that has struck me about Notre Dame is the appeal fund. Grenfell burns to the ground, £20 million (ish), an old building burns to the ground £1 billion (ish). In two days. I find it staggering. Not making a point as such, I was just staggered by the amount raised. :nonono:

    I suppose many see Notre Dame as a national treasure?
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Notre Dame is generally regarded by the French as a symbol of their country, something to be proud of, something cherished, something unique. In a word that is horrifically overused these days, iconic.

    Grenfell on the other hand represented something unpleasant about our country. something to be ashamed of, something people didn't want to think about - although not helped by the media depicting all council tenants as "scroungers" and "immigrants".

    From what I saw the other day, three French based family companies had put up £500m between them.

    It is a huge sum, but from a relatively small group.
  • HammerwombatHammerwombat
    Yes, French corporations have been generous in donations. My own employer has donated £100m euro. But Paris is where our headquarters are, and the company are proud of their heritage and part of French and Parisian culture.

    And of course it is tax deductible :whistle:

    I just don't get it. Never have.

    Mate, it's a car. It has wheels. You use it to get to places.

    The DFL have moved Eintracht's match back a day to give them more time to recover from playing Chelsea & the whole of one set of matches have been postponed in Holland to help Ajax!

    I dont agree with shifting games to assist in Europe except where maybe a Monday night game is involved.

    I agree, although the explanation I saw about the Eredivisie made t clear it was for fairness in their own league, rather then for Ajax's benefit in Europe... I'll see if I can find a link to post.

    (Despite every single outlet in the UK that I have seen having headlines that say it is 'to help Ajax in the CL' - and implying that it's a bit cheaty.)
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    It may well be to aid Ajax but they moved the entire schedule to keep it fair to all in the league.
