New Dutch polling, 4 days to election:
-Wilders slips significantly to 26 seats, his lowest level in a long time
-CDA also falls a lot, from 25 seats a week ago to 20 now, after Bontenbal’s blunder on gay rights in schools
-D66 are the big beneficiary, almost pulling level with Timmermans’ GL/PvdA

And 2 within 10 minutes. Excellent.

Glad to see we’re not still letting goals in within the first 5 minutes. *biggest sigh I can muster* #WatfordFC

This morning my ChatGPT quota was inexplicably exhausted.

It took a while but I pieced it together. Voice mode somehow got activated when I went to bed.

The bot then engaged in a 10 hour conversation with my snoring dog, answering questions the pup wasn’t asking and praising him for his insight.

Dominated possession, faced little threat, should have won 5 or 6-1 - still looking disjointed and unsure. But 3 points in the pocket. Pezzolano was down the tunnel before the final whistle was still registering- what’s that about?

Got a hat-trick from him on my full time bingo card.

And as I get stuck in to watching only the 2nd #WatfordFC match of the season, I understand early on why the stadium is lightly populated for a Saturday 3pm kickoff.

Amanda van Mulligen @amandavmulligen.bsky.social · Sep 24

Stunning!

I cancelled my iFollow subscription following Cleverly’s departure so this match tonight is the first match this season I have seen live. My half time thought is that I regret nothing. #Watford They don’t really look like they know what they’re supposed to be doing.

Yes, I suddenly had something in my eye….

I really wanted to love it, but I didn’t. Love the books. 🫣

Started watching Sneaky Pete. A couple of episodes in and we’re both feeling meh about it. Great ratings so does it get much better or is it just not for us?
