I got that reference! Make me a sausage.

Well put it away.

Are you saying that the toilets in Spain are the same as here. Pish I say.

Humid though, innit.

OK. Cos I got a pretty good calm going on right now. Kids are in school.

Ooh, I recognise that toilet! Defo BHX. He's probably thinking 'why the f*** are people filming me going through a metal detector.'

Not sure how to answer that. I got the info from Sky Sports summary of the window so far. Also, who's not calm? I was just providing an update.

Fun fact, We're one of only 5 teams in the PL who have not paid a transfer fee so far this summer. Three teams have so far not brought anyone in.

Same. Caffeine has no effect on me any more. Which sucks, as I really could use a hit to get going in the morning.

New offside rule will lead to loads of low block games as teams drop defenders mega deep to avoid being stuffed. As a result, 6 out of 10 games will be 0-0 draws, 2 out of 10 will be teams winning 12 - 10, and 2 games will be normal. This is a terrible idea. Although it probably is bad for Man City, given the way they play, so maybe we'll see what happens.

Depends. What if they all called you Sh*tweasel.

Season tickets for Shrewsbury Town in league 1 next season start at £420, rising to £550 for good seats. League 1! That is f***ing mental.

I doubt it with my mates. I'd get the nickname furry yed or something. It would stick.

I too am part of the brethren of the slap. It does suck, but unless you move house and change all your friends after having implants, I don't know how you'd live it down.

Dunno but that Levante kit is mint. Put a Villa badge on the front and it would work for us no bother.

Yeah, I'm digging it. Brighton always have nice kits.

Yeah, this sux.

They have now.

We are facing the environmental management paradox. The west prospered through years of industrial development, using fossil fuels to drive growth. We are now aware that Climate Change is a threat, and demand that third world countries scale back their use, whilst at the same time they are looking to become more self sufficient and advanced using technologies that rely upon them because they are the easiest to implement without an existing technology framework, and without extensive research. As far as they are concerned we are asking countries to voluntarily limit their own growth out of poverty to benefit everyone, whilst developed countries, who are years ahead in terms of renewables suffer relatively little. In reality all this could be resolved through distribution of technology and wealth, to enable the development of renewable infrastructure, but it won't because the mega rich, who are on boards of companies developing renewables (all 1st world) will see an opportunity to squeeze developing nations more, and keep ahead in the Nation race. More generally, I think the reason for pessimism around the response to Climate Change is that all this needed to have been done 20 years ago to avoid the death of billions. As it is, and with an additional 20 years of warming locked into the system even if we went net zero as a planet today (which of course we won't), that is looking increasingly inevitable without a rabbit out of the hat solution. And I say that with the heaviest of hearts. When I was studying it there just seemed like there would be more time, but things have moved faster than even pessimists would have predicted. All the above being said, there exists on this planet right now the science, technology, capital, engineering capacity and skill to prevent this becoming apocalyptic. Whilst I disagree broadly with their methods of protest, we do need to stop (as Tool said once) 'fretting for our lattes', and worrying about a 5 minute delay due to JSO, and get shit done. I'm waiting for someone to go on Radio 4 and say in response to any questions about how the greening of our economy may discomfort some section of society say 'what does it matter, if they are dead'.

Is that a HP Pavilion? I used to have one of those a while back (two or three iterations), and it was the hottest thing in my house, including my heating and fire. I swear I couldn't use it between May and September because it made my house unlivable.

This post is frigging genius.

Hang on, do Schalke sponsor themselves? That's very meta of them.

CM set to 'Advanced Playmaker'

I agree, easily.

I think with pre-season looming this is a big week for us. We could do with some doings.
