This might break the internet. It's certainly breaking some US establishment minds, with calls for Tucker to be banned from re-entering the country.

Hugely disrespectful for Arsenal to do this a few short months before Klopp's death.

New new new era confirmed at Man U.

I prefer to imagine that we've come back from 26-0 down to lead.

I'm not sure about that Everton equaliser. I know goalies have always been overprotected in situations like that, but recently a few have been too far the other way imo. Teams will just shithouse their way to goals by training all week in how to legally foul the keeper at set pieces.

Shocking. A poached swan croissant would have been much more befitting of the Premier League.

For residential heating it's 99% mini/multisplit, or ductless as I believe you call it over there. I've only ever come across one forced air heating system in a house, and that was to rip it out as it didn't work properly.

They really need to bin the running costs argument for heat pumps unless its replacing electric heating. Air to air heat pumps are much more efficient than air to water, and you could argue they'd save money over most alternatives, but very few of this type of system are being fitted as government funding usually doesn't apply. The green/net zero drive is literally 'at any cost', and not just in the context of money. The current, very efficient and safe refrigerants are being replaced by propane and (ironically) CO2, which runs at pressures up to 2000psi, because they have a lower global warming potential. So people may have a potential bomb bolted to their house, but at least it's better for the environment if it springs a leak.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-68133751 Heat pumps are in the news again this morning, with Audit Scotland saying numbers are well short of targets. 5000 fitted last year out of a target of 25,000, with the target rising to 200,000 by 2030. As I've said before on here I fit heat pumps for a living and have been doing so since 2007. I worked for a company for over 15 years before starting my own business just over a year ago. The thing about these government targets is, they're held back by a lack of installers while they simultaneously make it harder to become an installer. I myself will become 'unqualified' later this year due to new bits of paper they've invented since I started my business, which hilariously means I'll likely end up going back to the company I left to be re-trained by the guy I trained 10 years ago. I'll also need to go to college and sit in a classroom with people who have never seen a heat pump in their lives., and pay thousands while losing a week of work to do a course in Birmingham. In many ways this just sums up government incompetence. It's seriously making me reconsider this as a career and sometimes the thought of opening a wee shop or something is quite appealing (although no doubt that'd be riddled with red tape too). I enjoyed the work before the government essentially took over the industry but now I feel like I'll barely be getting any work done as staying 'compliant' is more important than being competent at the job.

10-15 years ago Tiree accommodation could be grim. Quite regularly went without power for prolonged spells. Would be sitting for hours some evenings with a couple of candles lit listening to the roof trying to take off.

I stayed in Kirkwall for a night recently for work. Got put up in a hostel and had a chippy for tea

Obviously not washing their hands before eating the festering, unrefrigerated wild animal carcasses.

That is a truly magnificent full name.

Drunk arseholes on stag do's?

Someone needs to have a word with her (and most Democrat's, tbf) and explain that the Cold War ended a while ago. Also, Russia is way down the list of things that ordinary Americans worry about, so these deranged claims are not as impactful as they must sound in her head.

So the same fate as those who didn't dodge the draft then.

There's a good defender in there but he's like Derek Zoolander, literally can't turn left.

Ipswich fans should start inhaling now for the massive BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at the final whistle.

Sounds like they need to come with a more efficient way to pack more insurances into shipping containers.

It has all gone bonkers in the last 12-18 months. My van insurance went up 250% and my car insurance 70% Business & pet insurance also up about 40%. It's a massive racket.

Last weekend while in a busy city centre pub with my wife, one which we have enjoyed for years for the good Saturday afternoon atmosphere, we caught ourselves commenting that it's always so fecking loud we have to shout at each other to be heard. We'll continue to tough it out until staying at home with a sherry becomes more appealing.

Fun times when there's talk of conscription and being sent to the trenches in eastern Europe, which historically always ends well for everyone who gives it a bash. Still, at least that loony Corbyn didn't get in. Hopefully the days of an uninformed public being propagandized into supporting wars based on lies are far behind us, so it's unlikely the population would accept any attempt from the mob in charge to drag us into it. If we were invaded by a foreign force then I'm sure we'd all take up arms (golf clubs & hammers) to defend our families and property, but despite the EuRopE wIlL bE nExT stuff about Russia, there wont be a hostile force trying to swallow up the continent any time soon.
