Going for a wedding yesterday......

I don't get why this guy isn't being called a terrorist? If a Muslim extremist drives a car into a crowd it's instantly and rightly called terrorism but when a white supremacist does it its different? He's a Nazi terrorist, there's tens of thousands more like him out there, and they're the most dangerous group in the West right now.

At least your beard is black, mine is bloody grey nowadays.

Happy 1st Birthday to our litttl'un today. Got a nice little Birthday Cake for her later (Yeah, I know...)

Drive to Survive on Netflix. It's a bit over-dramatic "americanized" but it's a good starting point and not bad at all.

Let's cross the "getting bored of winning the title" bridge after we cross that first bridge of "winning the title while Dr. Gonzo is still alive"

If someone doesn't like you at your worst, they're not allowed you at your best

I think unfortunately when the club finally knew it was time to get rid of Wenger it was too late. That extra season of Wenger really crippled us, we brought Lacazette and signed Kolasinac who were both very average signings in my personal opinion. Then we failed to deal immediately with the Sanchez, Ozil and Chamberlain contract situations. Ultimately only dealing with Chamberlain albeit we did get a good price for him in the end. Once we got to January we finally dealt with Sanchez only to swap him for another mediocre player on massive wages as well. It still baffled me that in January last year we knew Wenger was going as Sanllehi and Sven were brought in but we spunked a whole lot of good sales (Giroud, Walcott etc.) on aging players like Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan and giving Ozil that monster contract. We for some reason doubled down on this average squad and took a very short term approach to getting back into the champions league, which has left us in this current state of lack of funds and a Europa League squad. Then even after all this Gazidis goes and so does Sven which has left us lacking in key areas. I think Gazidis going was actually a massive plus he left us in a shit storm and I have no doubt he would never have got us out of it. I'm hoping Edu who looks to be the new Technical Director can really steer us in the right direction. Emery has a year left to prove himself, for once we didn't overcommit on someone so if someone better comes available we have the option of upgrading there. If we are smart I believe we can turn this around, but I don't have a clue if we can unfortunately.

Looking very smart mate.

A huge burst of mysterious cosmic radio waves traced back to the exact location in a galaxy billions of light years away Phoebe Weston A huge one-off burst of mysterious cosmic radio waves has been precisely located to a galaxy 3.6 billion light-years away. The powerful shiver of waves came from a Milky Way-sized galaxy that scientists were able to pinpoint for the first time using three of the world’s largest optical telescopes. “This is the big breakthrough that the field has been waiting for since astronomers discovered fast radio bursts in 2007,” said lead author Keith Bannister, from Australia’s national science agency. © Thomson Reuters A Hubble Space Telescope image shows bright blue gas threading through the galaxy IC 4870 that shines because it emits radio wave and gamma-ray radiation, in this image obtained September 26, 2018.

IT IS DISTRIBUTED, EXACTLY AS RECEIVED BY REUTERS, AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS “If we were to stand on the Moon and look down at the Earth with this precision, we would be able to tell not only which city the burst came from, but which postcode and even which city block,” he said. The discovery was made by an Australian-led international team using a new radio telescope belonging to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the Australian science agency. Astronomers hope the breakthrough will move them closer to discovering the causes of fast radio bursts, which remain unknown, according to the study published in the journal Science. Since 2007, just 85 cosmic radio wave bursts have been detected. Most are “one-offs” but a small amount are “repeaters” which recur in the same place. Two years ago, astronomers found a “repeater” home galaxy but this is the first time they have exactly located a “one-off” ripple. Fast radio bursts last less than a millisecond which makes it incredibly hard to pinpoint their origin. The technology used in the discovery was the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope. Team member Dr Adam Deller from the Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne said: “The burst we localised and its host galaxy look nothing like the ‘repeater’ and its host. It comes from a massive galaxy that is forming relatively few stars. © Heritage Space Spiral galaxy in Triangulum constellation. Artist NASA. (Photo by Heritage Space/Heritage-Images/Getty Images) “This suggests that fast radio bursts can be produced in a variety of environments, or that the seemingly one-off bursts detected so far by ASKAP are generated by a different mechanism to the repeater.” ASKAP is an array of multiple dish antennas and the burst had to travel a different distance to reach each antenna which means it arrived at slightly different times. ASKAP was able to freeze and save the data less than a second after the burst (FRB 180924) arrived at the telescope from its home galaxy (DES J214425.25?405400.81). “From these tiny time differences – just a fraction of a billionth of a second – we identified the burst’s home galaxy and even its exact starting point, 13,000 light-years out from the galaxy’s centre in the galactic suburbs,” said Dr Deller. To find out more about the home galaxy, the team imaged it with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile and measured its distance with the Keck telescope in Hawaii and the Gemini South telescope in Chile. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/techandscience/huge-burst-of-mysterious-cosmic-radio-waves-traced-back-to-exact-location-in-galaxy-billions-of-light-years-away/ar-AADw5n5?MSCC=1561712335&ocid=chromentp

Sorry i meant you're going to have a wait a very very long time for a repeat of that because they are quite shit right now and they'll be that way for a while. Probably one of the best end of season games I have ever seen.

@The Rebel CRS

Very easy game yesterday. Expected more from West Indies. Old Trafford is a lovely ground. Absolutely amazing day with the weather, too.

Gonna book this weekend... 600 people inhabit the islands...

Your daily reminder that this man who expects people to believe this letter was written by an actual 10 year old (7 years old when the referendum happened) off their own back is somehow one of the most effective politicians in our country in the past 10 years.

Fantastic. I know we were fucked but this says a lot. Deputy economy minister for Wales Lee Waters has said.......... that the Welsh Labour Government hasn't had a clue on the economy since devolution. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-48757245 For those unaware, the first meeting of the newly formed Assembly was in 1999.
