Mid Suffolk to become first council with a Green majority?
at 12:40 5 May 2023

The Greens needed to gain six seats to have a majority on the council, and with 12 of the 34 seats declared, have already gained four. Quite something for one of the most rural districts in East Anglia. I wonder if Babergh will slip from the Tories' grasp too.

(Brighton was run by the Greens but they didn't have a majority of seats)

Another thing I noticed was that a lot of the Tory candidates ran as "Local Conservatives" rather than "Conservative and Unionist Party". Trying to distance themselves from the shambolic national government?

Emirati sheikh buys half of Beitar Jerusalem
at 15:19 8 Dec 2020

I don't usually condone the super-rich buying overseas clubs, but this is an excellent bit of trolling by the sheikh.

A previous owner said he was going to buy an Arab player (an Israeli international) but abandoned it after fans rioted. I went to one of their games when they were playing in the city I was living in and their fans were making monkey chants at the Nigerians in the home team.

Grenfell inquiry latest
at 23:50 16 Nov 2020

Some pretty shocking testimony today in the inquiry: "Celotex manager told to 'lie for commercial gain' over safety test of insulation sold for use on Grenfell"

Can't see this ending well for the firm.

Came across this on Twitter today; it's quite something.

Just found my favourite artistic tea towel down the back of a radiator. How footballers see themselves. Entertaining and occasionally chilling. pic.twitter.com/FMXR9eitRt

If Town players did this, I'd definitely buy one. Perhaps an opportunity to include the players left out of the team photo too.

WSC predictions
at 12:53 4 Sep 2020

Just got the latest copy of WSC and a little surprised to see we are fourth in the predicted league positions, which seems rather generous.

Are other fans not as clued up on how bad things seem to be at the club, or are we just overly pessimistic?

Portsmouth, Sunderland and Peterborough are 1, 2 and 3.
