    Officially that's recorded as the same thing but not always reported. Usually the police will use terms such as "tragic accident" to describe that. "No suspicious circumstances" is usually (but not always) code for suicide without putting the family through saying it publicly.

    ***Spurs vs West Ham Untd***, PL, 13th September 2025 at The London Stadium

    Far worse than that is what I refer to as a "Chelsea foul" It's where a player runs out of options with the ball and wishes to win a free kick. So they dive but grab the ball as they do so. It clearly a dive, everyone knows it's a dive. The referee can see it's a dive. But it's so much...

    Usually when the police say "There are no suspicious circumstances" or similar, they mean suicide.

    Just looked it up, he also said "No I don't need to wake you"

    *** OMT UCL Tottenham Hotspur vs Villarreal ***

    And his response was something like "I can do what I want, what's your problem?"

    If you think that was bad, Lammy would make you pine for those halcyon days. Being Spurs fans, we've all seen and heard plenty of what he has to say. To refer to him as a halfwit would be too generous by at least half. Still, looking forward to him being succeeded by Angela Ranger and then...

    I really hope he can. PM David Lammy is just about the scariest thing I've ever heard. Was there ever a Mr Bean Goes to Downing Street episode?

    You actually don't need a cinema room with modern projectors. Laser projectors mean you don't need complete blackout for good colour/contrast and proximity to the screen means you can get away with a much smaller screen. I have a 120" retracting screen that, at my viewing distance, fills my...

    Never been. I'm the literal definition of a fair weather golfer. If it's sunny and between around 19-25° then I'll play - I suspect Dubai would be a little warm for my tastes.

    So it seems as if the reason we're so slow is "AI"* bot scraping. Not an easy one to solve as they don't identify as bots, "AI" bots identify using standard user strings. I'm working on a couple of things at the moment, but it might just mean chucking a load of memory at the problem and living...

    Golf in Lanzarote was particularly fun. Playing into wind so strong that my 7 iron was going about 100 yds.

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    There's a trick to this (works with cars too). Start eyeing up something far more ridiculous and expensive. Start dropping hints about how much you want to buy it, etc. maybe even go to see a demo or two (or test drive for cars). Then "compromise" on the one you really want.

    Absolutely. Met him in a restaurant once and he was an absolute gent. Perfectly happy to spend his time taking photos and chatting.

    Build a cinema room. Failing that, some Showcase cinemas have sound-proofed private boxes you can hire. Not entirely keen on the sound in them though, I think cinema sounds needs a larger space to be truly effective.

    High level of critical thinking skills, evidence-based approach to decision making, dislike of harming children with dangerous thought practices....... I think he'll cope ;)

    Can't understand why the police are even bothering to get in the middle of this. On one side of the police you have some clams, and in the other side of the police you have some clams. Just let them have at it and eventually wipe each other out.

    Close, hopping around the Canaries for much of the summer with the kids. Strict no social media rules and all that.

    I've read what wasn't behind a paywall. If there's something of value in the rest then feel free to explain how it meets the recognised definition of genocide.
