Clearly the women aren't the issue, but you wouldn't think that from a quick look at US twitter. Sexism is on a different scale in the States.

It's because the Secret Service employs women, apparently. Woke etc etc.

Yes, don't get it either. I've heard that "it'll be fine with Joe" line a bit from older American commentators. Or perhaps they basically think Kamala is unelectable as a woman in sexist US, and it's too late to get campaign funds for any other candidate.

Two of my best mates live in Minneapolis and Chicago. Big fans of our pubs, love Manchester beer and curry caffs. Really intelligent folk (Maths teacher, IT guy), life-long Democrats (more Bernie than Biden). But they still seem reticent about ditching Joe. I just don't get it.

I use Timpsons a lot for keys and watches and similar, their staff are a great advert for the company and James.

Well I'm glad I woke my 89 year old dad up on his birthday to watch the "golden generation".

Non existent defending.

Brilliant defence of 115, Afghanistan ! Sign them up to the legal team, City. Woke up in time to catch the last half hour. Wonderful stuff unless you're an Aussie.

Thank you, Howard.

John Barnes talks sense on a lot of topics.

Superb analysis. Thanks for writing what I couldn't articulate.

Thankfully not, though I'll be there tomorrow (on the way to Liechtenstein. Nope, would scrap VAR tomorrow and live with occasional errors.

Agree, but I'd rather the error than the delayed celebration.

My lad (23 today) got given ticket for Pumpkins, said sound was best he'd heard at a gig (more a Gorilla/Gulliver's venue fan), which I think counts highly with artists themselves. He had his beer beforehand!

That delayed and diminished goal celebration is my case against VAR in a nutshell.

I'm not surprised. We've been visiting the Baltics & Balkans last 18 months, and rated Bulgaria top. Beautiful, efficient enough, bargain and great food (Veliko Tarnovo particularly). Where's your daughter live ?

Love Grimsby. That Spoons is one of the busiest in the country, but best pubs are the posh microbrewery (Docks), the floating one (Barge) and the scruffy Old Mill pub (the Rutland) near Blundell park.

NOT an obituary for Roy, but a classic nonetheless.

We parked our motorhome in the car park and got a knock on the window the next morning (no parking overnight, apparently). You might find the Travelodge for £50 if lucky.

I've had great Sunday night in Dumfries, one of Scotland's best pub towns outside Aberdeen, Glasgow and edinburgh. Fleshers, Coach and Horses, Douglas Arms, Tam O'Shanter and the Globe (High St) all good. https://retiredmartin.com/2018/07/08/more-ye-olde-penrith/
