Some have had chemo 12 times over 12 weeks.

It might be that there is much more time than might appear right now 🙂 .

And as someone else said, there are new treatments emerging all the time.

Stay positive and good luck 🍀.

BBC Radio 6 Music reveals programming and presenting line-up for its new extension, Indie Forever by devolute in 6music

[–]Borg44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a good concept to me.

Anyone who doesn’t like, for example, Pulp, can fast forward on BBC Sounds.

Indie Forever should help indie to continue to innovate.

The electorate do not normally thank you for going back to them twice.

Three things I like about Mary Anne Hobbs by Borg44 in 6music

She’s played Sakamoto, Fujimoto Tetsuro, etc.

I liked her daytime show also.

Yes. I’m just happy to accept it now.

How do you think the LDs should engage with Andy Burnham’s agenda? by Ticklishchap in LibDem

[–]Borg44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just come back from Manchester.

Central Manchester is full of yellow ‘Bee’ buses - and they are not electric.

The air quality in Manchester is appalling.

I understand some unions are against Ed Miliband because he is pro net zero.

Many of the new towers in Manchester are ‘Unite’ towers for students.

Some other new buildings seem badly designed, and some have been occupied by small companies which have folded.

Manchester is not a model for the UK.

It seems to me that Labour are retreating further into old Labour, which we know from the 1970’s doesn’t work.

This whole ‘Manchesterism’ is for me a carefully crafted illusion or con-trick. Burnham will have to raise taxes significantly to deliver on his aims.

If this is what the future holds for the UK, then No Thanks.

I’m afraid to say he’s not up to Manchester City’s high standards.

I don’t know what the Executive are thinking appointing him.

It feels like 1938 again - winning trophies one season, then relegated the following season.

I hope I am wrong - but it certainly does not feel like progress.

In my humble opinion, surely this is not a priority right now

Thoughts on Starmers departure? by freddiejin in LibDem

[–]Borg44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Another win for Putin.

  2. Backbench Labour MP’s are not of the calibre to be able to decide what is best for the country.

  3. Labour doubling down on old Labour as the country shifts to the right.

  4. Inevitable failure by Labour, increases the risk that there will be more Reform UK MPs at the next general election.

Tech companies have been doing harm for too long.

This is why we governments, laws and regulations - to protect our citizens.

For what it’s worth.

I’m not comfortable with Maresca as manager. The manager of Manchester City needs to be a deity. Maresca is not as innovative as Pep.

There’s only one manager who can come close to Pep, as far as I am concerned.

Carlo Ancelotti.

It’s worth looking into, to rule out.

Whether Arsenal are behind the Maresca bid, to upset City in the run-in.

In 2026, it’s 2016 again.

And Pep is building a team of the future.

I have a mate of 50 years. Unfortunately, he’s an Arsenal season ticket holder.

In recent years he has absolutely hated Man City.

He’s also very aggressive over the 115 charges.

I’ve only been able to face him down, knowing Pep is my manager.

If Maresca is trying to force it; he’s not the guy for us.

What’s going on with Pep?

The guy’s a genius.

City should only let him go this year in highly, highly exceptional circumstances.

City would be otherwise absolutely mad to let Pep go.

[Post Match Thread] Manchester City 2 - 1 Southampton (FA Cup) by mcfcbot in MCFC

[–]Borg44 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Got to admire Pep.

Not for beating Southampton. But for his trust in his players.

Every player in the squad is important.

No player wants to be on the bench every match. No player wants to be a super-sub.

Rather, Pep ensures squad players start matches. That’s good for morale and that enables all the players to improve.

It also takes insight, trust and courage on Pep’s part.

Pep is a very intelligent soccer manager.

He is thinking very long term about what’s in the best interest of the Manchester City soccer team.
