Tweaked for '21! Even in 2020 I was lucky to get a couple of jobs. Been working away on @TripodLtd projects too! Always on the look out for TV/FILM work with the odd bit of THEATRE for good measure.

"It's ridiculous the fact that he's not given it. It's ridiculous the fact we're saying to players you're gonna have to go down to get a penalty."
"It's a joke that it's cost Liverpool a goal and it's a joke that the VAR have not picked up on it, it's a joke that it's Attwell again. It's ridiculous!"

If UK media won’t call out Nigel Farage’s latest bull**** on migration let’s do it ourselves.
New analysis suggests skilled migrants settling in Britain are expected to contribute billions more to the public finances than they cost over their lifetimes - and Farage knows it

Sandra Bullock avait tout ce qu'Hollywood pouvait offrir.
Une carrière s'étendant sur plusieurs décennies. Un nom capable d'ouvrir toutes les portes. Des succès planétaires comme Speed, Miss Détective (Miss Congeniality), La Proposition (The Proposal) et Gravity. Puis, en 2010, la consécration suprême : l'Oscar de la meilleure actrice pour son rôle dans The Blind Side.
Elle était l'une des plus grandes stars du monde.
Puis, elle a discrètement disparu.
Les tapis rouges se sont succédé.
De nouveaux films ont été annoncés.
Son nom n'y figurait plus.
Beaucoup ont pensé qu'elle avait quitté Hollywood.
La vérité était bien plus proche de chez elle.
Depuis 2015, Sandra Bullock partageait sa vie avec le photographe Bryan Randall. Il n'était pas une célébrité hollywoodienne. Il préférait une vie loin des projecteurs, et ensemble, ils avaient construit un foyer paisible en élevant leur famille.
Puis Bryan a reçu un diagnostic de SLA (sclérose latérale amyotrophique).
Cette maladie prive progressivement une personne de la capacité à bouger, parler, avaler, puis finalement à respirer.
Il n'existe aucun traitement curatif.
Ensemble, ils ont pris une décision.
Tout garder privé.
Pas d'interviews.
Aucune mise à jour publique.
Aucune demande de compassion.
Seuls leurs proches étaient au courant.
Pendant trois ans, le grand public n'en a rien su.
Alors que beaucoup se demandaient où Sandra Bullock était passée, elle s'occupait de Bryan à plein temps. Ses journées n'étaient plus rythmées par les tournages et les avant-premières.
Elles étaient consacrées aux rendez-vous médicaux, aux traitements et à la présence constante auprès de l'homme qu'elle aimait, tandis que son monde se rétrécissait peu à peu.
Elle n'a jamais cherché à justifier son absence.
Elle s'est simplement consacrée à ce qui comptait le plus.
Bryan Randall est décédé le 5 août 2023, à l'âge de 57 ans.
Ce n'est qu'après son décès que sa famille a révélé qu'il vivait avec la SLA.
Soudain, l'absence de Sandra Bullock prenait tout son sens.
Elle ne s'était pas éloignée de sa carrière parce qu'elle avait perdu l'envie de jouer.
Elle avait choisi de s'effacer parce que l'homme qu'elle aimait avait davantage besoin d'elle.
Plus tard, sa sœur, Gesine, a révélé que Sandra avait tenu une dernière promesse : disperser les cendres de Bryan dans une rivière le jour où il aurait célébré son 58ᵉ anniversaire.
Pendant des années, beaucoup ont cru que Sandra Bullock avait disparu.
Ce n'était pas le cas.
Elle était exactement là où elle estimait devoir être

You get your money from a billionaire.
Then you are 'free' to pay all the other billionaires.
If there is any left 'hurray that is yours'.
Thames Water's shareholders have walked away. It's being propped up by US hedge funds who REALLY don't care about its 16 million customers.
The government needs to intervene, put it into Special Administration, then take it into public ownership.

Alexander Isak’s shirt is being pulled and stopping a goal scoring opportunity so why aren’t VAR taking a closer look? 🤔
@richardajkeys & Andy debate the incident and why VAR is failing to deal with the obvious.

Alexander Isak
🗣️“You said because I didn’t dive to the ground? How about Cody Gakpo incident in the box with Tzolis, what does he need to do again there.”
“We were playing against Arsenal together with the match officials which is difficult to win against someone who decides a game by his decisions, that’s terrible and we have to accept that because they never wanted us to win.”

⚽ VAR, Tribalism and the Great Refereeing Excuse
The reaction to Liverpool's defeat against Arsenal has exposed something deeply troubling about modern football. Supporters are so consumed by defending their own colours that the officials responsible for enforcing the laws escape the scrutiny they deserve.
Arsenal fans have been quick to remind me that Trey Nyoni was fortunate to avoid punishment for his early challenges. Jurrien Timber's sustained shirt pull on Alexander Isak warranted a penalty. Both grievances deserve consideration. Both can be legitimate.
Then came the extraordinary inconsistency surrounding Noni Madueke. Alexis Mac Allister undoubtedly exaggerated minimal contact, yet we've witnessed dismissals for similar confrontations. Mac Allister was booked, Timber received a caution for his involvement, Madueke escaped one despite already being booked. Where is the consistency?
And what of Mac Allister's theatrics? Had Andoni Iraola, frustrated by Isak remaining upright despite being fouled, urged his players at half-time to make contact impossible for officials to ignore? We cannot know, but the possibility raises an uncomfortable question. Would such an instruction explain Mac Allister's reaction, even if it could never entirely excuse it?
Must players now collapse theatrically before officials recognise an offence? Has football adopted cricket's appeals system, where justice depends upon the enthusiasm of the complainant?
Even Andy Madley's apparent jovial exchanges with Arsenal players emerging for the second half raised eyebrows. Perhaps an entirely innocent moment, but such familiarity inevitably attracts attention when confidence in officiating is already fragile.
Arsenal's defensive discipline deserves admiration, their gamesmanship considerably less.
Yet Arsenal supporters bear no responsibility for refereeing decisions. Neither do Liverpool supporters. Their endless arguments and snipes at me and others on social media merely divert attention from those entrusted with applying the laws.
VAR promised clarity and consistency. Instead, we have acquired another expensive layer of confusion, producing decisions that remain bewilderingly subjective.
If technology cannot deliver meaningful improvement or accountability, football must seriously question what it has sacrificed to accommodate it.

The Labour Party is now no longer co-ordinating with the Green Party to run 11 Local Councils because of the Zionism is racism motion.
Which has absolutely zero effect on Local Councils who have no control over foreign policy.
Vote Green, oppose Israel.

The amount of joking and friendly conversations between the referee and Arsenal players throughout the match was certainly noticeable. Questions need to be asked. 👀

Right now Israel are pushing the Palestinians into the last 15% of Gaza.
Of the other 85% much has already been bulldozed and covered in sand with building already begun.
Within a few months Israel will come for that last 15%
While this Genocide takes place the West ignores it
