Would not be surprised to see Adelakun struggle in his next move. He was epic for us and ran insanely hot, but history would say it was unlikely he'd carry that on next season. He'd have been playing for a move too. Gibson seems great and Sbarra sounds like an upgrade on Biggins. I think this may have worked out well.

Just listening to a talking head promoting this national service business on the radio.

All the benefits he lists about meeting new people, teamwork. All that young people already get from further and higher education. They all go through this now.

If they are worried about Putin, and they should be, then a serious response would be invest more in the military and recruit more professional personnel.

The national service proposal is electioneering and not serious. Sunak will drop it as quick as he's dropped Rwanda and the smoking ban.

Certainly my experience of higher education was far from that. My university didn't care much for any of that, of course that may well have changed.

The options are there for anyone at university to get involved in a myriad of activities and meet people from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures. That comes from the individual, not from universities telling you how to do it. Are you really saying you spent years at university and didn't meet anyone different or get involved in any extra-curricula activities?

The National Service thing is resulting in some quite spectacularly stupid takes.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/28/national-service-lockdown-furlough-thank-you/

If the Tories were to win the Election, let's say, after the Royal Inquiry they say they'd hold into the issue, National Service might just get started by 2029.

People turning 18 by then would have been 10 when furlough ended.

The youngest people who might have benefitted from furlough would be at least 24 by then, and hopefully settling into productive careers.

My own company benefitted from furlough. It saved the job of one colleague who will be 69 by the time 2029 comes along. Should he do National Service as a thank you?

It's just a magnet for stupid, authoritarian opinions.

Are you going put up the policies of the party you're voting for 91?
I'd prefer not to go off Subject but of course Labour are a government in waiting but it isn't the story lines they needed in the run up to the election.

More people voting elsewhere probably won't make a difference but it'll be interesting how many vote for them compare to 2019.

I'll guess at about 5 million more.

True or false:

Keir Starmer has been approached about becoming a porn star because of his expertise at switching positions in front of a camera?

Signed,announcement soon,you heard it here first

Heard it from Peter O’Rourke last week first ;)

Great news, for me he was more important to tie down than Haks or Biggins. It’s starting to come together…

No,you heard he had agreed to sign,not that he had signed  :cool:
