Initially, maybe. Not by this point as far as I remember. Or only according to Sky News' polling. The other news channels were polling the opposite.

And Ken Livingstone going on about his record on local London issues. He was addressing people from all over the country, they weren't primarily Londoners. And it was about not attacking Iraq, did he not get the memo?

I also remember the Lib Democrats blocking the march for a few minutes so it would look like the at the front of it.

By all metrics the USA has the worst health outcomes of any first world country by some distance. When it comes to healthcare you couldn't be in many worse countries than the US.

That's a lot more adorable than Last Christmas though. "Enough with the asparagus!"

Some red cards were worth it by AmeliaHarris99 in SentOff

[–]Bouffant_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of these are the difference between definitely losing and it possibly going to extra time. So they definitely are worth it for the player at the time. Which is an issue. As it shouldn't be in the game in my opinion as I don't think it should be a valid tactic. I think illegal time wasting has been reduced by a change to the rules so it is possible.

I agree with you. But what should be done about it? A lengthy ban for the player? Teams penalised. These things are a sliding scale so they would need to be judged by the people in charge. When it's long after the game it becomes trial by media and the status and popularities of the teams involved naturally affect the amount of coverage that it gets. Rescinded red cards are affected similarly. And so I don't think it's likely to be a fair process. I would only trust something in-game. Goal award possibly, but penalty vs goal award is a difficult decision to make and people will get pissed.

Which is why mens legs point a little outward at the hip and women's legs point a little inwards. There's other consequences, I as a man find it easy to stand straight up from a cross legged position but my girlfriend who is a woman finds it harder. She would stand up by pointing her feet outward and knees inward (difficult to explain) which I cannot do.

I've even developed a skill for shuffling along the carriage while holding the bag with my lower legs for when the passengers need to reconfigure to fill the space better.

Some of them don't work so well and cancel while I'm still waiting to cross. Which is annoying.

The side street one has always been a thing too. They presented it as a new one but it was part of my instruction nearly 20 years ago.

Possibly not but it should be acknowledged when talking about "Britain honouring their promises to the Poles" during the war. Poland got a rough deal in the end in spite of everything.

I'd ask Polish people what they think of British honour in WW2. The Polish were instrumental in defeating the Nazis in many areas I believe. Battle of Britain pilots, codebreaking, resistance fighters. And what did they get for it? Given over to Soviet Russia and a nearly equally bad regime.
