@AlmotsGraps He didn't even do the little hop

busted out the Halfass-Plex

@AlmotsGraps I was so confused, I just saw 2000 Test vs 2006 Test

randomly remembered how much I love this battle royal finish

@eojlc89 @implausibleblog Why do you mention free markets? Burnham talked about water, that's not a free market. There's no competition.

@implausibleblog Everything is better under public control. We should all give as much of our money to the government as possible so they can provide goods and services for us. It is better to think of taxes as donations to charity. The free market is the enemy.

Laura Kuenssberg, "Where is the pain going to come" "Capping bus fares, giving a pub a grand off their tax bill, but that's the pleasure, the goodies" "People want to know, where is the pain going to come?" Andy Burnham, "I took on the bus industry in Manchester because they were running a system which worked for them. They made me go all the way to the High Court but I fought them and I won that argument and put buses under public control here" "With water, a similar approach is needed, you take on the vested interests" "The water system in Britain is a system where the shareholders never lose and the public never win" "So the pain comes I'm afraid in disrupting some of those arrangements and saying to those vested interests you can't have it like this any more"

@marcfetiveau @PippaCrerar He's on Panorama tonight in an interview. 8pm.

@PippaCrerar Why doesn’t he do interviews then we will know what his policies are

Andy Burnham appears to be scratching his head over reports that he's actively considering scrapping stamp duty and council tax 😕 "I can say that quite clearly: that won't be happening. I don't know actually where some of the stories that have, appeared over the last 24 hours have come from," he says. "It seems that somebody within, I don't know, 100 yards of me could say something, and then all of a sudden, it's my policy. Or someone can pass me something, and then I support everything within the document. "It's just not the case that we are bringing forward plans, on that scale, at this moment in time. So I'm quite happy to give you that clarification."

@turners925 @JoshTakesWs @JuniaG_MVP I was trying to figure out how a smartphone made dust more clingy. It's the only device I thought of.

@JoshTakesWs @JuniaG_MVP First off calm down, second she said “pocket sized” what devices fit in your pocket that recently became way more popular? And third, anyone who grew up in a smokers house knows that shit leave things with a thin film of filth, adding sugary syrup to tobacco would make it sticky

Hm I wonder if there’s like, a pocket-sized device that can leave an otherwise imperceptible film on shelves and walls for the dust to cling to

@tirrell_l @Fightful I am a terrible wrestler. But it was never my dream when I started training.

@Fightful Why do people act like it’s hard to comprehend!?! WWE is the dream all pro wrestlers have, yes they’ll go to AEW, TNA or wherever but as we see when the opportunity comes they go to WWE even making way less money. There’s a prestige & notoriety that comes with it.

Royce Keys says there were a lot of personal reasons why he left AEW for WWE. “A lot. There’s a lot of personal ones that I won’t speak on. But the dream is always to be a WWE superstar. It’s all I dreamt about as a kid and I will never live my life as to having what ifs. What if I did this? What if I would’ve went? What if I didn’t go? There was no second thought about putting pen to paper when that opportunity came up. You look at what WWE is, it’s the be-all of professional wrestling and sports entertainment. So why wouldn’t I want to go?” (107.7 The Bone)

@leak1629 The guy "testing" is a melt, the 2nd guy is a geezer, neither are mandem

uk mandem beefing on mw2 (2009 colourised)

Wait, Nigel did the rainmaker first?

@migueltmpereira @JungAristotle @CantEverDie Where? I've tried searching, and seen posts from him saying he makes playlists, but not the playlists themselves

@JungAristotle @CantEverDie He lists a Spotify playlist with song inspiration

i feel like i’m being gaslit because everyone is praising this right now but a year ago everyone absolutely hated this and all of his other non planet of the bass songs

Sent Nolie the YouTube link for the Joe/Necro Dark Side of the Ring episode from work this morning. Put my phone down for an hour to get some work done. Came back to his running commentary.

@HLecture62914 @realpwoloss Did some Googling, seems like Buffalo was part of the Toronto territory

@realpwoloss Mid atlantic wrestling in BUFFALO????

We have precious little of the Flair-Valentine feud on tape, but this complete match from Buffalo is everything you'd hope the matchup would be.

@dynastytribal Clever but flawed. Foot on the ropes breaking up a pin works when it's obvious that it's too hard to break the pinfall. Here raising his shoulder is equal effort to putting his foot on the ropes. Would work better if it was a jackknife pin.

This was actually a brilliant spot for a Falls Count Anywhere match. Referee sees foot on the rope, his instinct tells him to stop the count, quickly realizes it's FCA and goes back to the count but it gave Ethan Page extra second and he's able to kick out. So good.

@baileycpfc_ Major (and I think May) properly let loose, went straight off to watch the cricket. youtu.be/EXU2NCde3KI?t=…

Where does the “just quit being the prime minister” pint rank do you reckon

@kaseyklimes Might want to change your profile picture, before even reading the tweet I thought "what's this pillock going on about now"

the socialist mayor of new york is cutting regulation and the republican president wants to nationalize critical businesses one of my deepest hopes is that in the tempest of weirdness that is 2020s politics, we'll eventually pick our heads up just enough to realize that our "isms" make no sense and actually never did, and in fact we should just judge each policy proposal on its own merit against the evidence of whether it would achieve our collective goals

@psus24 @grok @lewis_goodall

@grok @lewis_goodall You just told me it was 40-50%! Anyway, compare this to the last 5 cabinets. No need for full breakdowns. Just overall %

Can scarcely remember a time London so scarcely represented in Labour (shadow) cabinet. New cabinet dominated by North West and Yorkshire. Five cabinet ministers from Greater Manchester alone. Regional breakdown of full cabinet North West: 7 Yorkshire: 4 North East: 2 West Mids: 2 London: 2 East Mids: 1 Wales: 2 South: 2 Scotland: 1

@HMcspunky @OpinionScot @PolitlcsUK Sod it, I'm curious, how was he a traitor? He didn't fulfill all the things he aimed to do in Labour's manifesto, but as far as I know the majority of his decisions were in line with that manifesto, which won him a general election and a mandate to do it.

@ChrisMa06209581 @marcwebber

@marcwebber They all work for the same pedovore cult masters though.

The football equivalent of that scene in Anchorman when the rival news teams face off.

@kwebeam @bendrfcsmith97 @TJebjc @orlacsm Found some research. This analysis shows basketball in 13th place. ey.com/en_uk/newsroom…

@ShortFuse89 @bendrfcsmith97 @TJebjc @orlacsm Na basketball very popular in the uk especially now. Also considering the fact that the commentators don’t even know who wemby is, is crazy icl
