Remember when Trump supporters went ballistic over Labour party members volunteering for the democrats, as "interfering" in foreign elections is terrible?

Bet they will be furious about this. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Weird. More than an hour after Vodafone went down nationwide, they put out a statement that's very light on detail.
FWIW my home internet is still down.
Quite the screwup if it's accidental

Even bigger story if it is a cyberattack maybe

www.techradar.com/news/live/vo...

l've just heard from Vodafone
about today's issues. A
spokesperson told me: "We are
aware of a major issue on our
network currently affecting
broadband, 4G and 5G services.
We appreciate our customers
patience while we work to
resolve this as soon as possible."
So there we have it - no
estimate of a timescale for the
fix yet, but Vodafone has
admitted that it's facing a "major
issue". That's unusually strong
language during an outage
which networks tend to play
down - but it's a certainly an
accurate description given the
numbers affected.

Wow.
Looks like multiple UK ISPs networks have gone down in the last 20 minutes.
My home internet and a few of my co-workers spread across the midlands are experiencing issues with Vodafone/BT home internet.

But it seems to be all over UK

I do worry a little Bellingham has been or is being overplayed in the same way TBH.

His dip this last season and injuries has me a little worried. Hes has played a lot of games for someone still only 22...

Hes only 33!

One of the lost great potentials as a player IMO. Played a lot at a high level quite young then got plagued with injuries
I wish him well

"We'll play some more soon"

Yuk.

You know what would sort this out for Andrew? If he did another interview with Maitlis.
He could set the record straight. I'm sure theres an innocent explanation 🤪

Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein ‘we’re in this together’ in 2011 email

Royal sent email after Virginia Giuffre photo emerged but later claimed he had ceased contact with Epstein in 2010 Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein in an email “we are in this together” after a picture of the British royal with his arm around a teenage Virginia Giuffre was first published in 2011. The email will pile further pressure on Duke of York and the royal family as he previously told the BBC he had ceased contact with the paedophile financier by that point. Continue reading...

Obviously there's more too it than that.

I stack all early character development into upping material gains and soup up my armour and "standard" melee weapon as much as possible too.
Ignore fancy sounding stuff as a waste of resource.

Some of them are harmless I imagine, we went to a country house not long ago where the victorian owner had spent massive time and money going out in the world to gather fossils and stuff, so he could prove the bible.
Might have always been a significant proportion of the ultra rich had obsessions

But if you are having an incredibly mediocre season, do you start wishing they will crash more for the better draft picks?

Notjarvis @notjarvis.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, I'm sure I've read in the past of some of the ultra rich being "off the wall" mad, apart from the obvious like Hughes and that. But the details dont stick nowadays 😀

Notjarvis @notjarvis.bsky.social · 2d

Discuss.
Was it always like this, but before social media/the internet, we didn't hear about it?

Could well imagine in previous generations the rich could talk their absolute nonsense in the rarified circles, and it wasn't challenged much
Nowadays, they feel they have to spread their ideas around
