He also has another mental health card.

 

An 8-year old boy has also died bringing the total of deaths to six. And given some of the injuries these children will face a very long and expensive way to ever get healthy again.

Meanwhile the bond has been set at 5 million dollars, quite an upgrade over a thousand bucks this guy got last time.

Just a reminder that cricket, netball & cheese-rolling are only scratching the surface of weird British sports.

 

An ancient 'sport' which sees competitors swipe at each other's legs will finally make a comeback after overcoming the Covid pandemic and health and safety fears.

 

The National Shinkicking Championships in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, have attracted thousands of spectators since first seeing the light of day in the early 17th century.

Meanwhile in :PRK you are not anymore allowed to wear leather trench coats because his majesty the son of all gods himself imposed a national ban for people to copy his dressing fashion https://news.yahoo.com/north-korea-banning-leather-coats-054757484.html

 

Also the guy who was caught smuggling a copy of Squid Games imported from the evil and decadent south will be executed pronto. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/north-korean-student-reportedly-to-be-executed-for-sharing-the-hit-netflix-show-squid-game/PRTSVASO4QZTELVLUYPAF3G6YM/

The punishment was extended to the students' school where teachers and school administrators were fired and faced banishment to work in remote mines.

 

Just remind me to cross 'Being a teacher in North Korea' off of my list of things to do. Always that one annoying student that messes you up and gets you shipped off to a remote mine.

And yet people who live in countries that have always been prosperous, peaceful & law-abiding still vote for Marxist candidates even though :PRK serves as the living monument of a theoretically 100% perfect Marxist country.

Which historically prosperous, peaceful and law-abiding countries have had recent (say, past five years) and actual Marxist candidates? So just making clear that the stereotypical redneck "Democrats are commies!!" nonsense doesn't count :p

Germany has just this week installed a predominantly-Marxist government.  You in the Netherlands have a Marxist Socialist Party.  We in :SCO have a governing party that is firmly Marxist. The Corbyn wing (about 40% of the  :GBR  Labour Party is happily Marxist.
 

Of course, modern Marxists do not have luxuriant moustaches, smoke pipes & speak with thick :GEO accents, but they’re still firmly in that tradition.

Not sure if you mean the SP, but those are not Marxists. I meant actual Marxists, not "They oppose my view and thus are Marxists".

Alec Baldwin claims he didn't fire the shot that killed Halyna Hutchins. I guess he wants to cover his ass because there is a major lawsuit & money to be paid and if they won't find the person who put the live round it will be Baldwin who will have to pay up? As usual with celebs, money loss is bigger threat than a conviction verdict. I mean manslaughter won't even get him to jail but the financial loss would be real.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
