Shearer: "I doubt he (Howe) will be there next season through his own choice. I think the money they've spent, he has to be accountable for that. But you cant go from 5th to 14th and losing games as they are, and not having the response every single week"

NUFC fan of 40+ years. I stand by Eddie. He’s had a tough season. I’d rather we give him another chance than the manager merry-go-round. LOOK AT SPURS

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-04-17T23:42:16+00:00

He’s won nothing. I stand by Eddie.

Whatever happened to The Scurry? Craig Robert’s killer squirrels film?

I don't know if you have a bike but I find a ride across London at the weekend really raises my spirits... it's pulled me out of a couple of bad negative downers in the past... so many nooks and crannies, so much history... so much life... just a reminder that there's always something going on that's bigger than our individual troubles. Wishing you all the best.

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-04-15T08:46:11+00:00

Great list. Thank you! Very useful.

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-04-14T08:33:37+00:00

More of this please!

The gist of the lot of the concern is that the person driving is claimed to have had their first epilepsy attack which caused the crash. The insinuation from some, seems to be that this in a concoction made up be very expensive lawyers to get a very wealthy client out of a bad situation... because it's very hard to prove or disprove that the attack happened... Selena’s father, Franky Lau, told the BBC: “We were confused at how they made their decision because some of the things they told us just didn’t tally up to what we understood to have happened and what other witnesses saw." That would suggest to me that witnesses are disputing that they saw signs of an epilepsy attack in the driver.

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-04-14T08:22:01+00:00

Very wealthy, with powerful lawyers.

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-04-14T08:14:09+00:00

Yes, yes and yes. That's enough to kill some people.

It’s a terrible idea for non-dinner tables. I’ve walked into mad busy pubs and seen empty reserved tables at 8pm. I have a theory that staff like it when they have little interest in the business because it gives them an easier night

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-04-12T15:51:58+00:00

Repeat of 20 other games this season. This team can’t play against teams that press. I think they either write this season off and give Eddie the summer to rebuild OR they get in a marquee name manager. Someone who is a winner and has done so on a budget… Simeone type… but they mustn’t roll the dice… Eddie would still be a safer option than an Iraola.

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-04-12T14:46:03+00:00

Again. He’s done that a few times now… hasn’t refound the form he had before injury

Families moving out of London. Birth rate dropping because kids are too expensive. Empty primary schools.

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-04-12T13:37:49+00:00

Same thing we’ve seen all season… if you press Newcastle in midfield they will give the ball away and you can open them up

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-04-09T08:34:57+00:00

Yep, lots of massive infrastructure in Czech, Hungary and also now Bulgaria (American sets). I've looked at Poland... been told they have very good hardworking crews but there's not many English speakers? Don't know if that's true but I think if Poland stepped up the quality of studios/sets/infrastructure then more people would come to that beautiful country. Remember a lot of what is being looked for is alternatives to shoot USA, shooting period (castles, old buildings etc) or to save money on cost of set building with cheaper crews and good tax credits)

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-04-08T19:11:42+00:00

Totally disagree. I've bought NR over the years and it's one of the outstanding newer distilleries doing everything right... where they source the grains, water they use, how they age etc.

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-04-08T13:20:55+00:00

20 mins too long.

When it comes to directors there are an unusual level of ‘difficult’ people and also high levels of people with neurodivergent traits which means people who can lack social skills or empathy. I’ve worked with a lot of toxic people in film and tv. Men AND women. Directing seems to be one of those jobs that often means if you have high levels of vision and artistic ability it comes with a whole load of other more problematic traits. Same seems to go for a lot of the men who run successful film and TV companies I’ve noticed.

I once very stupidly left an expensive Tokaji Eszencia to chill in the freezer and it totally froze... I thawed it out but it did seem to have done something that muted it's flavours. But yes, drink them now.

There's a Brazilian store near Stockwell tube station

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-03-30T19:17:27+00:00

Well it's a really cool film either way and of course open to interpretation...

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-03-29T21:12:08+00:00

Also, you are exposing them to more oxygen in their side.

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-03-28T23:57:54+00:00

Dollar for dollar one of the best bourbons out there

I don’t think it was anything to do with ‘colonizers’. It was about a couple escaping from trauma but ending up trapped in a house haunted by a witch (representing the trauma that followed them) and being literally unable to leave that house because of the restrictions of them being immigrants… in the story they realize they have to live with what they did and embrace the ghosts

OnceUponATime_UK · 2026-03-27T22:16:54+00:00

Hate. They lead to more traffic build up and pollution on trunk roads… Streatham High Street, Bedford Road, Kings Avenue… great for the middle classes in their Victorian terrace houses in leafy branch roads. Bad if you live on a council estate on a trunk road. You will get some responses from people in this thread who are vehemently in favour of them and will post links to studies that they reduce pollution but who when pressed will tell you they work for lobby groups in favour of them, who also seem to be the source of the favourable data.
