Second legs of playoff games is usually where the drama happens…

Terrible game at Hull 🥱

Biggest bombshell of the day is tess daly and vernon Kay separating after 22 years of marriage

Hoping that a mere statement of fact is acceptable 🫣

Spartan. No, increased by 1. Libs +2, Tories - 3. No other changes.

I can't say I'm particularly surprised that Labour held Merton, as usual (I live there), but having not seen the result, I bet that their majority has been cut.

You suggested an outcome was good and then told Spit that that was against the rules.

Who ever is in charge of Merton, stop wasting tax payers money

Not at all Trigger. I have zero interest in who runs Merton so no opinion on a good or otherwise outcome. As a general point I would suggest that a company that has a significant and positive interface with their local council, will in general be in favour of stability so that they can keep existing relationships and understandings rather than having to start again with a different group of people who could conceivably have a far less positive attitude.

You’re a cheeky bugger OI

spit - you can. It is just helpful to the atmosphere here if it is related to football and/or local and not particularly suggesting an outcome is wonderful or dreadful.

Sorry Trigg, I was typing so missed your post… 😬

Trigg - seemingly it’s because the club originated from Hamilton Academy, making it supposedly the only British professional club formed from a school… Some may say that’s not correct, especially since Wimbledon formed in 1889 as Old Centrals because players came from the Old Central School in Camp Road - and I should know, as I went there, although I hasten to add that it wasn’t in 1889 🤪

Quite simple really they were formed out of a school - Hamilton Academy. Apparently fairly common for Scottish rugby teams formed from schools and colleges to bear the Academical name but they’re the only football team to use the name.

Sandy - have you noticed how many newsreaders and politicians (sorry for mentioning them…) are saying “the Straits of Hormuz”, when in fact there’s only one Strait of Hormuz…? Some of them still say The Ukraine when it’s just Ukraine… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Everyday’s a school day Sandy

Much as I love Aaron Paul, I cannot stomach 43 minutes of interview with Mick Buckley, sorry…

Trigs - apparently it is "Academical" not "Academicals".

New bonds available from Monday 11th May.

Good luck to Hamilton Academicals as they seek to avoid HMRC pursuing a winding up order [Link]

RP, I have been trying to work out in my own mind whether you were at the Union Chapel on Monday or had you merely just had a cheeky look at the set list thereafter. To verify your attendance, you are required to answer the following questions ; what is the name of the double bassist ? Is he bearded or not ? What is his nationality ? How many were in the band ?
