interested in surveillance, spying, that sort of stuff. Oh yeah and some other stuff like music, books, films, the energy gap, some sports.

@lovselby He is certainly one of the greats. I think many know Mark doesn't play particularly slowly, so when he does it feels tactical and sometimes taken to an extreme. on those occasions some considered it unsporting.

@valmary_rose8 @Wwfcwolf1 obv not compiled by anyone who knows our full history. Picking 70s/80s players over title winners. Denis Westcott vs Stan Collymore - ooh, tough one.

[nimrod x @Nparanoid]

@CryptoIronsCOYI @si_mon_mm @footballconfid1 I initially thought pen too but we had no proper visuals. That's why VAR works in those cases. Except, as a wolves fan, I've seen VAR review a supposed pen against us, find no evidence of contact and still uphold the pen. We breed simulation and diving as a result.

[nimrod x @Nparanoid]

@CryptoIronsCOYI @si_mon_mm @footballconfid1 Agree, there's shielding the ball and there's wrapping your leg around someone else's and it's pretty obvious he did the latter. The EPL VAR refs give penalties for any contact via freeze frame and has conditioned players, pundits and fans into thinking simulating fouls is ok.

@a779457 @The_Forty_Four of course it's to distract the keeper on the basis that you can't be offside from the corner, but doesn't explain why VAR/Dermot Gallagher aren't consistent. Man City goal v Wolves stood and DG defended the decision.

@BHearnden @tweetsbyrayan Yep, Joe pointed it out but didn't pick up it might be a BIG CLUE!

@mugenflying @JohnMcHugh1878 @dave43law It's easier to get a better growth rate when the economy's been downgraded.

@BWCO1224 @StevenVerb94479 @DesireeAmerica4 The US has a big trade surplus in services with the EU so presumably you'd agree they should charge a 'reciprocal tariff' in return on those services to equalise the balance?

[nimrod x @Nparanoid]

@pierremaarek @BehizyTweets ...whereas it seems you can simply take your trade deficit in goods (ignoring your services surplus), created by your own consumer choices, falsely claim in every instance it's down to tariffs, make unproven generic arguments about 'barriers' and your followers lap it up.

[nimrod x @Nparanoid]

@pierremaarek @BehizyTweets To note, additionally, the EU for instance has state aid rules for fair competition so that countries can't unfairly subsidise at expense of the others. Where has this fool distinguished between countries that have those rules and the one he claims is paying subsidies?

[nimrod x @Nparanoid]

@pierremaarek @BehizyTweets No, it should be about the subsidy, if proven. Eg) If you apply all your sales tax to provide subsidy and no VAT is used that way then it's you cheating, not the VAT applier. Similarly a country could charge no VAT or sales tax and still subsidise. It's a bullshit point.

[nimrod x @Nparanoid]

@pierremaarek @BehizyTweets So if countries claim US sales taxes are used to provide subsidies to American businesses they can validly claim US has been cheating them?

@WolvesFPA was a great win. one of my teachers let us off homework when I told him it was a big game. Had a great view of King John's winner expertly slotted past Clemence. Mad how many wrongly think it was the 4-1 game from later in the year.

[nimrod x @Nparanoid]

@debistubbs @GhostOfOrwell84 @PaulGouldbourne @danyulgardner @chronicprocras @G_mble9 ...and here's the same sort of thing getting punished.... in 2011. so it's not like anyone couldn't have checked what the legal outcome would be, especially so called leaders of political parties including the one that formed the Gvt at the time.

@henrywinter Referees/VAR have rubber stamped simulation in many cases. They’re complicit in the problem along with the FA & EPL. There is little to no jeopardy in falling over on some, little or even zero contact esp when compared to the rewards.

@andyhelliwell @RichardS7370 just looked and it was in issue 121 from Dec 2003! How time flies. Another classic issued shortly after BSD, ‘up for a bit with the pastels’ was in issue 103. Love that too - was first on YT with this I think

@andyhelliwell @RichardS7370 Bought this after getting the Field of glass EP. I seem to remember it was critically acclaimed even if that didn’t bring the fame they deserved. Such a strong ending and stacked full of emotion. Featured as a MOJO buried treasure maybe 15 years ago.

@NPortnell Nice one!
