Time for Brooks to be newt-ered.

Could this just be them holding out the consensus #1 pick to avoid injury in meaningless games? Its not like a great Olympics will improve his prospects, whereas an ill-timed charge could put him on the shelf

Neutering should deal with the territorial aggression and macho posturing. After they sort Boris out, maybe some squeaky toys for the cats?

That’s fair enough. Pols hate rocking the boat. Just that CJ reform is a big red button

That’s the biggest obstacle to criminal justice/penal reform: it takes brave and principled politicians who are prepared to get hammered for being “soft on crime” to do the right thing. And they’re in short supply these days.

For a Tongan athlete he’s actually pretty puny (I’m basing this idiotic taek on the fact that the only other Tongan athletes I’m aware of are their Rugby players: Google “brick shithouse” and you’ll get an idea)

Due to another translation error they ordered Chipotle instead of chapstick

That looks great..going to have to give that a go next week... I’ll just quietly do the frying when my better half isn’t looking! EffWhyAye, that baking soda technique is called “Velveting” and is a famous Asian restarant end-run for turning tough cuts into tender morsels.

Jesus tells Pence to say things? Isn’t that how all religion is meant to work? Your imaginary friend tells you to do/don’t do stuff and off you go...

I was a Watergate fiend in my 20s. Recently re-read some of the many, many books on the subject and came away depressed. The expose needed such a perfect storm: committed and independent media, iron-willed public servants, a determined judiciary and principled politicians on both sides. Can’t see that happening now.

I’m a wee bit peeved that Deadspin didn’t see fit to cover the coolest thing to happen in sport this weekend (I understand there was some shoving-match happening in Minnesota, but still..)

oddly enough, actual fights are relatively rare in rugby.. possibly because refs/citing panels WILL drop the hammer on you.

I don’t agree with or quote Chairman Mao much but when he said “Religion is poison” he was spot fucking on.

*vomits into own shoes*.

These assholes don’t have a leg to stand on: in most jurisdictions it is considered that any sexual relationship between a staff members and inmates cannot be considered consensual.

Nick, Facebook Messenger still works even if you deactivate: I nuked my account months ago (Insh’Allah, it’s fucking great) but can still send and receive messages. I don’t get invites to attend shitty solo performance art openings, though. Somehow I’ve managed to struggle through.

Rafi is 100% correct that folk here love the NHS and are (rightly) proud of it. However, why they keep voting for Tory fuckwits who want to destroy it is a whole other question..

Holy shit.... I read something said by Jeremy Hunt and agreed with it rather than automatically going for the rhyming slang.

I’m going to assume that he immediately went and powerbombed Brady through a table?

I was really hoping that one of the Spanish-speaking stations did the whole soccer “GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL” thing, but, like
