Well, someone needs to be FTY.

A few years ago there was a voicemail referral to our team made by a palliative care nurse with a geordie accent. My colleague who dealt with terminally ill clients was off, so I had to phone 'George Weah'.
He wasn't able to talk to me, said his wife, but I was able to hear him in the background, trying to speak... sounded very familiar... it then dawned on me that it was Doddie Weir.
I'd never heard of Sinfield either. I'm not a fan of either flavour of egg chasing.

…and I can’t rely on anyone to be that someone. 🤣

I was thinking of a cross between Kevin Bridges and Jerry Seinfeld, but that didn't get me very far. 🤷🏼♂️

Wouldn’t Jerry Bridges get you over the water?

I was thinking of Peter Sinfield, the 21st century schizoid man.

He'd passed me by too. My ignorance knows few bounds. Especially when it comes to most 'popular culture' your honour.

Did Matthew Syed once write sensible commentary? Could he try turning himself off and back on again?

Can't find the post about the Swiss referendum at capping the population, but it's been rejected. Probably just as well if they didn't want to make their relationship with the EU any more problematic, though that could have been a Swexity aim, I suppose.

I posted it yesterday on the previous page.
I imagine ‘project fear’…… You have just given birth to No, 10,000,001.

Not exactly news, and, it’s football… sorry
But, tonight Germany v Curaçao. The population of Curaçao is less than 200,000, it is like Germany playing a team of South Shields residents! Wouldn’t it be fun if Curacao won?
Don’t think I can muster enough interest to actually watch it 😊

More of an immigration measure (had it passed). I don't know about Switzerland but quite a few countries have below replacement birth rates so even population maintenance needs immigration.
And it all gets a bit mad 'cos Governments seem only able to think of their country as an economy and one needing perpetual growth. Completely flawed as we should be a society not an economy and the concept of perpetual growth on a finite planet with finite resources is just unsustainable. Just another example of how Government we end-up with and capitalism are just not fit for purpose.
And then many start conflating immigration with refugees seeking asylum and weak politicians fail to stand-up and support those fleeing wars, famine, persecution, etc. instead just playing along with mindless fools who cannot see past their prejudice.

With all due respect to Curacao (ranked 82nd) a lot of better teams didn’t qualify, e.g, Italy (ranked 12th), Denmark (21st). So I hope they enjoy their moment of fame, but as far as I’m concerned the Euros is a much better quality tournament than the WC.
