Not yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if St. Louis come calling. Lutz Pfannenstiel (sp?) is in charge there and they've already signed Bürki for next season.

Bruno is in the running for the Stuttgart job.

Severance It's so unique and intriguing. I totally love it.

Promoted first season as champions. Would've been hard to go up if we hadn't won the league though - would've needed to have beaten 2nd place in the southern league over two legs and then won away at the team who finished 3rd bottom of the 2nd tier. Was largely spearheaded by a striker I had on loan from Finland called Tamminen. We're a bit chaotic but we score loads. I have a very good midfield for my level albeit a very old one too. I'm aiming to buy almost exclusively under 25 players - infact my entire scouting focus has been on 15-25 year olds of which I'll likely just sign ones on frees from the rest of Scandinavia plus maybe Latvia and Lithuania, but I will grow this to worldwide eventually when I have the money. Doesn't help our case that my best two players in my opinion (Tamminen and Trige) are both on loan and both not likely to be back here next season. Been given a healthy wage budget for next season. Treble what it is this season and I've already managed to secure a decent young Latvian midfielder on a free for a similar wage to what I've been paying out to players this season, so I think we'll get a tidy squad together and with that I expect us to survive, but we'll see. I'm not keeping the goals out as well as I was on 22.

Farideh Moradkhani, Khamenei's niece, posted a video a few days ago urging world leaders (mostly EU, UK and India are the ones who can be trusted to cut off these ties) to cut all ties with the IRI. She's been arrested. Got nothing but respect for her tbh, she could have kept quiet about the oppression taken some of the country's wealth and fucked off to Canada or the UK like so many other family members of the leaders. Instead she's stayed in Iran and become an activist. Also I know it is a difficult thing for the EU with Russia being a bunch of cunts, but cutting off the IRI is necessary. It doesn't matter that they have lots of oil and natural gas and Europe needs it right now. Europe can not pretend it stands for human rights while maintaining any sort of relationship with the IRI. The nuclear talks don't matter at the moment either. Maximum pressure on the IRI is the only thing that matters with regard to foreign policy with Iran right now. Sever all ties. Confiscate Iranian assets funneled out of the country by the leadership. Detain, or better yet, deport their families - the way Ukraine deported Iranian students back into harms way... but this time it would be the children of the people who make the rest of the country suffer. People who might actually change Iranian leadership's mind about their oppression. And for those who are curious - here's her video:

I think I will call our daughters flat 'Noas Ark', just waiting for her to bring one of the animals back from the Animal Farm she is working at

Its a bag of nails mate. I got it cheap but its a shit car. About 4 and a half hours. I had to ring the police. They said it was not a serious issue because it was visible. Then the battery went because the hazard lights had been on for so long. So I rang them again and they said it was still ok. Even though it was about a metre from the pavement and it was dark. In the end another police car went past and asked what had happened and I explained and they said it was dangerous. But then the rac got there. Also my phone ran out of battery when this happened luckily someone let me borrow theres. Then someone else gave me one of those battery chargers so I was able to charge my phone. He said he had loads and I could keep it which eas nice. Also the other issue was I didn't bring a coat so I was freezing. Absolute nightmare
