@RyannnUTD @prodnose "Bruno Fernandes equalled the Premier League ASSISTS record for a single season after setting up a goal for the 20th time in the current campaign." And four out of the five statistics listed in the article are for ASSISTS.

@Unity_MoT @prodnose Did you even read the headline of the article? Its chances created, not assists.

What is the BBC doing with this idiotic desperate click bait bullshit?

@RyannnUTD @prodnose 'Facts' which fail to account for minutes played. Fernandes averages an assist every 279 mins, putting him sixth all-time behind De Bruyne, Bergkamp, Fabregas, Silva and Beckham.

@prodnose How is this clickbait, when it isn’t misleading in any way shape or form and based on facts?

@Pg8kG T&Cs state you must be 16 or under on 31 August of the season for which the ticket is bought, so yes, you'll have to move up to the next category.

If I’m 17 you reckon I could buy the under 17 season ticket or will I have to go up to the next category ? #wba

Going to disappointed if Croatia don't start sacrificing audience members for an encore. #Eurovisión2026

@ForWomenScot Recent FOI on WhatDoTheyKnow shows Herbert requesting info about waiting list time for nephrectomies. #incoming-3401445" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">whatdotheyknow.com/request/nephre…

There are, no doubt, reasons for this. It might not be a safe or suitable op, there may be waiting lists (not good). However, Herbert's identity issues will have zero to do with it. Euan, who is complaining that a woman will get compensation for a rights violation has tried to sue a barrister for calling him a man.

There's a mismatch in accounting practice between how in kind donations of services and facilities are treated between the donor and recipient. #wba For example, if the club donates the use of a suite at the Hawthorns to the Foundation for an event, the actual material cost of providing that facility goes into the club's accounts as expenditure in the P&L. However, when the Foundation records that donation in its accounts, it does so at 'fair market value', which is a higher figure that the actual cost to the club because when the club hires out the same suite to, say, a commercial business the fee it charges will include a measure of profit on top of the actual cost of providing the suite and any staff, etc. What we appear to have done is valued our in kind donations to the Foundation at the fair market value figure used in the Foundation's accounts for the purpose of claiming them as PSR addbacks. What's interesting is that, in the US tax system, in kind donations are accounted for at fair market value by both the donor and recipient, so it may be that Bilkul have been caught out by a misunderstanding over a difference between US and UK tax law.

So after looking at the document, it doesn't seem that the apparent retrospective rule change was the reasoning for the points deduction. We simply misinterpreted the rules. Charging a charity for the use of facilities was apparently never allowed #wba

@frozenwarning @suzanne_moore

@suzanne_moore Too much of a coward to get on a horse, maybe a bike, with stabilisers.

I want more drama. Burnham has arrived in London on a train. He should have been on a horse surrounded by knights in armour or something. The King of the North needs to up his game.

@BarbaraRich_law @rob_marchant @anyabike @GoodLawProject The 'asset lock' clause is meaningless without a lock-in clause preventing its removal. Maugham can amend the articles at will just by filing a written resolution.

@Unity_MoT @rob_marchant @anyabike @GoodLawProject I don’t think it is hiding the money, as operationally GLP will remain a UK registered company publishing its annual accounts here, and there is an asset lock in its constitution. But it enables considerable obscurity of governance both in the trust deed and identity of trustees

Yep, nothing says "we are a good and proper charity" like moving to Jersey to avoid UK regulatory oversight, eh @GoodLawProject?

@rob_marchant @anyabike @BarbaraRich_law @GoodLawProject Of course this is nothing whatsoever to do with the absence of a public register of trusts under Jersey law, or the lack of any requirement to publish either the trust deed or annual accounts. Maugham is hiding the money.

@anyabike @BarbaraRich_law @GoodLawProject Exactly.

"The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable’. The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice, have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another. In the case of a word like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of régime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using that word if it were tied down to any one meaning." George Orwell: "Politics and the English Language", Horizon, April 1946 orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-fou…

What are some words the have been subjected to concept creep? (Meaning an egregiously broadening definition that has neutered the word’s impact.) The ones I’ve thought of include: Harm Trauma Pedophile Violence Eugenicist Nazi OCD

@DiamondSoulMuse @RAF_Luton Gesundheit.

@RAF_Luton IT'S A CHINOOK!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fact of the Day: The Merlin helicopter is the worst helicopter in the world at Hide & Seek. Crews spend 71.75 weeks learning concealment techniques as part of their Withdrawal, Escape, Evade training at RAF Centreparcs. (Only 8.0085% of crews pass) Photographed from a Canberra

@mrma_goo @RAF_Luton You do know that Merlin is a shapeshifter?

@RAF_Luton you do know that is a Chinook and not a merlin

@Maggie_McNeill @FranklinH3000 I was 10 years old when I read The Lord of the Rings, never mind watching a movie. Also, school holidays at that age meant TV re-runs of the Universal Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers serials and Johnny Weismuller as Tarzan.

@FranklinH3000 Around 1980, my favorite weekly show was "Horror Classics", on our local PBS station, playing all the Universal horror films of the '30s.

"When you were 10 years old, did you like films that were made 30 years ago?" Like "The Day the Earth Stood Still"? Um, yes?

@roseveniceallan An example of the Leeds Uni contact's prior work - tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… I think we can all see where this is going.

Researchers from Leeds University are seeking participants for a study ‘exploring what the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond means to you’ and ‘whether recent debates surrounding the pond’s admission policy have affected you’. Promoted by the KLPA 👀
