It baffles me why people head for the coast to bake in the sun, get sand in their drinks and be surrounded by potentially unpleasant people.
Agreed … the coastal average is cooler than inland in the summer and warmer in the winter (water warms and cools slower than land). Bake in the sun: mad dogs? Sand in their drinks: and sandwiches! Surrounded by potentially unpleasant people: so long as they remain potentially so I wouldn't mind and don't forget we are all potentially unpleasant to the person you fear is potentially unpleasant. :lol: The secret is to find little known spots and avoid the main places … I know many places on the south coast where you would struggle to have to be within 2 metres of someone else.

According to the Telegraph this week's mass stabbing came after the Sudanese knifeman complained about the food in the hotel where he and 100 other asylum seekers are being housed during the Covid-19 pandemic. The spaghetti and macaroni cheese served "wasn’t culturally appropriate".

It's just as well I wasn't in possession of a gun when I got home and found the donner kebab I bought had no salad or chilli sauce. :)

Apparently Boycott is likely to be leaving TMS … one Twitter contributor's assessment seems about right … “White, male, straight, tory and knows about cricket. Surprised he lasted this long at the BBC.”

You've got me interested in this kebab, that I've never tried now. Monday mornings is one of my few windows in the trading week where I've got time to cook. :)

I have to say they are amazing but you have to be careful otherwise you end up eating yourself sick. 😂

Keir Starmer is now wriggling out of his show of support for BLM after being photographed kneeling in his office - claiming he supported "the moment" and not "the organisation".

This brave girl has got her head screwed on more firmly. It's a shame a few of our brainless footballers couldn't think for themselves.

BLM the organisation has far too much politics about it, 'blm' on the other hand - the movement, has very little to question about it and is I think what most people support. It's a real problem for the 'supporters of lives', in that to discern what type of supporter or non supporter of blm/BLM you are, there needs to be a full 15 page questionnaire to undertake. :roll: That's frustrating, but I think it is safe to assume that people taking a knee in solidarity are doing so to support black lives mattering (under the assumption that all lives matter), rather than the very left wing political campaigning/huge donations, which is not made (purposefully?) particularly obvious.

I'm so glad Matt Le Tissier won't cave in and wear the Black Power (sorry, BLM) badge on Sky Sports. We need more people to stand up for what they believe in not allow sport to be politicised in ANY way.

Yeah, I know. The outrage at standing in salute to national anthems and wearing poppies was equally huge from the same people now crying foul at politics in sports.

This is where presumptions need making regarding black power comments and BLM, there's like probably at least 5-10 different ways BLM is viewed... presumably Le Tiss has issues with their political donations and reasonably hard left leaning political activism, rather than black lives mattering. Am happy to find that he is sufficiently clued up on it, because it does take a fair bit of digging.

I do however seriously doubt that these girls here have taken a knee under anything other than their own choice out of wanting all lives to matter the same amount. And this is the problem - those that know BLM as a political party think they are coerced into doing it and/or they are supporting a hard left political party first and black lives mattering a distant second, when that is actually, pretty unlikely imo. It's a shame both are so frustratingly mixed, and that a genuine opportunity to work towards better equality is being used in such a way.

With that in mind, it might be useful to stop taking the knee soon and get back to using words and day to day actions, rather than giving those who seek to politicise both those still standing and those kneeling an excuse. Like I say, without a long winded explainer, no one can know why or what those standing or kneeling are thinking or supporting anymore... and that just enables any narrative anyone wants to be applied to anything.... a very modern problem.
