There's no doubt now. Hamas terrorists did rape women and did decapitate women and children.

Hamas took the opportunity to showcase themselves with their live stream and an incorrigible Soviet provocateur, some adults who haven't outgrown simplistic, binary student politics and an "old crank who simply hates Jews" reacted with glee. Hamas was proud to show the world its achievemen...

I'm willing to pitch in but the minute we enter a vortex of never ending circular arguments, I'm out. A (Talking of which, at this juncture, one must try not to imagine greatly experienced orientalists robing themselves in a smoking jacket and collapsing into a chesterfield after a hard day's saliv...

We've not found a solution so far. I reckon that if we all put in the effort, we should get there in another 25 pages or so. I'm willing to pitch in but the minute we enter a vortex of never ending circular arguments, I'm out. An entirely understandable opinion. But it is really quite simple. First...

Ravi's been released by Sussex.

Just imagine: Two parallel sets of five human beings who are trapped together in ghastly engineered tubes. Each of the tubes were created with the objective of exploring and expanding the boundaries of humanity's knowledge and inquisitiveness but, sadly, both are being commonly used for far more mun...

‘I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian – for me – for me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union. God’s in the mix’. The words of Barak Obama in 2008, immediately prior to his election and subsequent sanctification. How times change. Mrs Forbes ...

Oh dear - as is so often the case. Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's arrest, conviction, incarceration and subsequent treatment is entirely due to the actions of the Iranian state. Nevertheless, the F&CO and HM's Government appear to be the main target of criticism, ejaculated at Boris, risibly, dementedl...

Jason Brissett and Emmanuel Vasseur (joint managers), Peter Mountford and Chad Mansley (first team coaches).

Typhoons up over the Channel.

Apparently it's been an extremely fractious season "behind the scenes" focussed around Ronnie Irani's criticism of a prevalent drinking culture. This resulted in a showdown between RI and senior players (A Cook, Harmer, Westley and Lawrence were mentioned, supported by McGrath). The situat...

The subtitles for this beautiful piece contain some block script as well as a literal, and therefore occasionally peculiar, English translation.

Apologies, Big Ron, but I noticed Ruel Sotiriou was reported to have scored after 31 minutes.

Some video evidence of this board's prominent leftwingers (those heroic, self-appointed champions and mouthpiece of the working man/woman/indeterminate) using a sickle would be very entertaining.

The best news!

Warmest congratulations to the parents, you and your family.

Nairn in Darkness and Light by David Thomson is a fine wee book Alerted by this post I bought the book and you are right it is a guid read as they say down the Fishertown chippie. Interestingly Newton House that the authors grand parents lived in and that he writes about in the book is now a hotel ...

Actually it's been very good for quite some time.

Ructions in the commentary box. Sounds like Davis is brawling with Big Kev (on loan from Radio 5 Live) while Newman's unleashed a massive soliloquy on his covid vaccination. Meanwhile a cuckoo is in fine voice somewhere nearby and Toppers has played already more big shots than the openers combined.

Brilliant!

It's also on Youtube (300 watching). Browne's in a short sleeved jumper, Cook's in layers. Toppers is commentating and is in good form already.

We have never invaded Israel, when we were mandated the land, after WW1, it was called Palestine. It was the European Jews ( mainly), that invaded Palestine in 1948, and they are still occupying the country, 'till this day Just cleared that up for you bro Just under half the Jewish population in Is...

Imagine a chronicle of the multitude of conversations, discussions, disagreements, arguments, flounces and rebounds on here: It could serve usefully as a befitting record of just how utterly depressing, tawdry, insipid and terminally dysfunctional everything has become. Everything in the remarkably ...

Some woman on Today Radio 4, spouting platitudes about the Cheltenham " Festival " . Quickly glossing over the amount of horses that have been slaughtered in the last few years. I wonder who is prepared to come on here and justify the amount of money they throw at this butchery of these n...

Thanks again, that's helpful. Here're the candidates so far: Bowles, Brabrook, Coates, Dossena, Garner, Jonny Gorman, Hodge, Andy Jones, Liam Kelly, Lisbie, McAnuff, Alvin Martin, His Reverence Mulryne, Shilton, Simba, Peter Taylor, Thompson, Toner, Walley, Wilkins, and Zoricich. (21) Applying the t...

Which full international footballers have ended up at Orient in the last 50-ish years? This is a subjective exercise. Category E Very good/good players for the O's, like Ralph Coates and Simba, or sensational, like Bowles. Category G Disappointing: for example, Hodge and Alvin Martin perhaps? Any su...

Thanks again.

It looks like Mervyn played for Villa and Leeds in Division One.

The gun has been jumped with Gerry Queen (a fine player, particularly good in 73/4, and a decent bloke too - like most of the squad that year), He's a category F player.
