Our daughter's first-day voluntary work at I Love Gorgy animal farm and she is loving it, she just posted this...

Hooray my mum is out of Iran!

Nano chameleon, world's smallest reptile discovered just last year.

Brexit was always kind of logical in the end.

WEC Prediction League: Nudges' Neat Whiskey Wonderland does have a good ring to it to be honest.

Cost caps and creative accounting, name a more iconic duo... The catering jokes and memes have been fantastic though. In all seriousness, deduct their WCC points and punish them with reduced wind tunnel and CFD time for the next season based on how much they were actually over the top. If they get away with it, other teams will happily go over budget in the future as well, and the whole thing will collapse.

Took me a minute, I was trying to work out how "Brenda Nout" was offensive and then the penny dropped

Fascinating (read the whole thread).

@Devil-Dick Willie @6666 I promise I did not email Jim Cornette under the alias of 'Andrew'.

I'm not too sure as I haven't read too much into him in all honesty. All I know is that El Salvador has gone from the country with the highest homicide rate to 0 murders a day. His methods are pretty extreme though. I wouldn't want to be in an El Salvadorian jail right now.

Pretty sure that's @LFCMadLad's job

She lives in the UK & is a citizen - she went back because her brother/my uncle (who also lives in the UK) was there before the protests on Holiday & had a pretty serious stroke unfortunately. He needed help getting back to the UK, so his wife and my mum went there to go get him. They've both been in the UK since the revolution. She hates wearing the hijab & said it was a bit of an interesting time to be back - as many women were openly not wearing a hijab. But also the basiji were out looking for women not wearing hijabs to beat. My Iranian side of the family is pretty anti-religion though, which is understandable because religious zealots ruining a country will do that to people.

Ramires and Mikel retire from football. Didn’t realise they were still playing.

There was definitely some impact with the Usmanov/sanctions situation. How much that all has to do with our financial situation, Moshiri trying to sell up, etc. Impossible to know as usual when you get into all of this dark money stuff. Neither of them are particularly savoury characters, clearly.

We were funded by Usmanov, Moshiri was merely a figurehead. Since the Russian sanctions came into play, it's shown how "little" money Moshiri has compared to what he technically has. He's obviously very wealthy but not on the mass billionaire scale that was initially believed. It's rumoured that it was all a bit of a money laundering exercise. I don't know 100% the ins and outs but it's been reported there's tons of shady deals between the two moving money, property, assets etc around between themselves.
