@Cyclops It's fascinating. Given the importance of QB in the league today, and how good Watson is, teams should be moving heaven and earth to get him. When was the last time a genuine top 5 QB was on the block like this?

Even if you were the Jags, surely you'd think long and hard about putting up the #1 pick. I know they've got Meyer as coach, and are going to take TL, but Watson is a proven superstar.

@Victor-Meldrew I'm not so sure about these niche spirit producers to be honest. I get the feeling that they're trying too hard to be a bit different and edgy (based on no knowledge whatsoever of your friend's recommendation). I have several specialist gins at Cato Towers and whilst I enjoy the odd glass here and there I tend to find the second glass less appealing by some way to the first in most cases. Having said that I have enjoyed a Japanese whisky named Reiko (also do a gin, but I've not tried that).

I have come to realise that I am a classicist when it comes to getting on the piss. I enjoy proper English bitter beer, none of that craft bollocks. Strong continental lager. Claret and Burgundy as a rare change. Cognac. Scotch whisky and standard English gin.

And on the cognac front, if you can source some you MUST try Tesseron. The Lot 53 is sublime, but I have just indulged myself in a bottle of the Lot 29 - not tried it yet.

@Crazy-Horse Birthday last Wednesday. Capricorn like the best of us!

@pakman delightful ️ you are basically my own Spotify now. Welcome to your new job, I think you will be happy here.

@Davesofthunder

I feel like such a mug, I was so confident that my daughter would get through her first year of school without having to homeschool. What the hell was wrong with me!?

Good luck uk parents, good luck.

@pakman likewise

Neat, generally for me.

Going to give this a try at some stage. My whisky-loving mate from Peebles recommended it to me.

Yeah...ahhh... about that.

It’s fair enough. We are the 51st state after all.

@Catogrande said in British Politics:

@MajorRage Your last is a good point. We need a strong opposition (whoever they are) to keep the Government more accountable. Weak opposition allows too many excesses.

See Thatcher.
See Blair.

Labour won’t be strong til they completely purge the internal opposition. See corbyn, long Bailey etc

Starmer is NOT the answer.

He’s not even the question IMO. Only thing going for him is he’s not Corbyn.
