I'm sorry but claiming "Gumbo" as israeli cuisine is silly.
Its not wrong to point this out.

There's plenty of good things in jewish cuisine to be proud of.

Oh dear I see people are circulating antisemitic memes about Jews as culture thieves when they could be protesting actual human rights violations

At least 2 of Mia Farrow's children stuck by Woody Allen and accussed Mia Farrow of child abuse.

The family situation is a little bit more complex than a keyboard warrior picking sides in a dispute from hundreds of miles away.

If hes back after the international break that means Odegaard misses the 4 premier league games against Fulham. Palace, Burnley & Sunderland...plus 2 champions league games.

Could be worse.
7 weeks out but 4 weeks of those were international breaks.

This'll be interesting.

All the holier than thou types who paid tribute to Keaton before realising how closely Keaton stuck by Woody Allen (as you know he was never actually found guilty of anything) now haaving to pedal back.

Of course he will.

Norway will play a selection of 1 or 2 of 12 microstates every qualifying campaign every 2 years for the next decade.

Completely gobsmacked by some of the daft nonsense otherwise intelligent people on here are spouting on Trump & Gaza.

Its like liberals are so desperate to believe in this "peace" they are trying to wipe out everything thats happened over the last 2 years from their memory.

Have you been drinking Roland?

Its not charm,
Israel has got what it wanted, they'll put up with all the daft crap Trump spouts and laugh & clap when they feel its required for Trump's ego as all diplomats understand by now.

Only way there's a future for under 35s is if theres a decline in house prices/rents & a tax on assets.

To win elections you need a majority of over 40 home owning voters in swing older town/surburban seats.

If this continues young Brits will desert UK...requiring more foreign workers, not less.

"Boris will be Prime Minister for the next eight to 10 years according to political expert & Professor of Politics, Prof Tim Bale, who said he found it difficult to imagine the Labour Party breaking the Tory's huge majority."

Johnson was gone 18 months later.

I'm pretty sure the answer is "not this".

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Do you think Gabriel Jesus could be Arsenal's most important player in 2026..?

He'll be back exactly in time for Feb-May run-in
He'll be playing for a new contract at Arsenal/another top club
He'll be playing to join Brazil's World Cup squad in his last WC

A headline which most people with even a mere passing aquaintence with the prison system knew was coming with the all the surprise of a rainy day in October.

Simply not true.

Likud - essentially the personification of Netanyahu over the last 2 decades - is by far the most popular party in Israel.
The policies including the Gaza war are popular with voters.

This journalism by people who have no idea what they are talking about.

This where the endless categorisation of sex gets us.

Sarah is not asexual.
She simply isn't.

Someone has told her she is.
Or she has told herself that in order to conform with social pressures when she was younger.
The Guardian really shouldn't be doing this.

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

This is how we do it: ‘Asexuality is a spectrum. I don’t experience sexual desire (but I do like having orgasms)’

Embracing Sarah’s asexuality has allowed her and Cameron to connect in many different ways

One of my biggest bugbears.

Müller was always underated by UK sports media as he spent his whole career in Germany (barely shown on UK TV) AND never showed much interest in coming to the premier league (so not much transfer rumours/hyperbole).

So Brits "discovered" him every 4 years at world cup.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Not often a casting choice makes me want to cry...

But news that the new version of Agatha Christie's "Seven Dials" is coming out with not just Helena Bonham Carter - but also the 77 year old legend that is Guy Siner of Lieutenant Gruber fame in "Allo Allo" has brought back huge childhood memories.

Fesshole nowadays reminds me of the stories that Kevin & Roger told me in 5th form in the late 80s which "were absolutely straight up 100% true".
