I don't normally solicit money, but if you have a tenner that you don't know what to do with and you feel so refreshed from the extra hour of sleep from last weekend that you could watch someone streaming next weekend then I've got an idea for you: www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.participant&participantID=314495YouTuber Andrew Eisen will be streaming himself playing video games, particularly Breath of the Wild (a game he has a love-hate relationship with, and that he's not played much of so far) for 24 hours to raise money for a local children's hospital (he's based in San Diego). As you can see from his donation page, there are a number of fun incentives for every milestone. There are a few of us across the pond who can help him getting through the night with our chat. And yes, I know that donations are in dollars and the exchange rate isn't great. Thanks, Brexit. ~ end of commercial break ~ |

Rich and powerful man from a corrupt state led by a military junta, and a company about which allegations of corruption had been swirling for years. He obviously enjoyed played the role of munificent benefactor for Leicester and giving away a few baubles in return for his man of the people image. I won't be shedding any tears. |

People do seem to be able to switch off their critical faculties when it comes to who owns their favourite football team. It's a very effective way of whitewashing your reputation if you've made your money robbing the Russian people or running a middle eastern dictatorship or whatever. Football was much easier to enjoy when the clubs were mostly owned by the local butchers, carpet magnates or porn publishers.

The quality of Shenguin's mercy is not strained. The whirligig of time brings in his revenges. That guy in Leicester who called you a hippy is regretting it today |

Abramovich made his money after the killing of the gangsters in the Russian Aluminium trade.
I am not saying he had dozens of people killed, but the killings stopped once he controlled Rusal.
A fortunate coincidence.
Birmingham owners in my lifetime
Loan sharks
Scrap metal dealer
Cheap fashion co (lost its money inBCC)
Porn merchants
Chinese money launderer and apparent triad boss
Chinese investor with private backers(not yet convicted of any wrongdoing)
I'm not sure if things are getting better or worse

I had forgotten about that guy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Baxendale-WalkerTalkshow host, porn actor and, er, former lawyer. Proper old-school chancers is what we need, none of your Russian oligarchs or Chinese triads thank you very much. |

Hallo men and woman and other.
Games chat.
I've played a lot of Red Dead 2 and 75% of that is me fishing, playing poker or hunting.
Football club owner chat.
As a Rangers fan, I have absolutely no idea who owns our club anymore which is great fun. |

TV: The drone film with Alan Rickman. Eye in the Sky. A good film, and one that stays with you. Undoubtedly a good film. I'll be honest, I only watched it because of Alan Rickman. However:- [POTENTIAL SPOILERS] Although I enjoyed the politics immensely, I would've 'rifled' straight off. The end was very predictable. The music was yawn inspiring (I think that may be my biggest issue). Why not play Barbers adagio for strings 'on a loop'. 'It's no Black Hawk Down' - Top Gear Magazine. |

"As a Rangers fan, I have absolutely no idea who owns our club anymore which is great fun."
Are the Easdales still involved in Rangers?
A fact for you.
In the 90s the price of simms/dimms skyrocketed due to a factory fire in Japan and they were being stolen wholesale from IBM and Mimtec factories in the area where they come from.
I'm not saying they were involved.

I see Diablo III is on the Switch from Friday, could be fun Yet another thing I haven't got time for. Yesterday I got tempted by sales again and got Limbo, Jotun: Valhalla Edition, Earth Atlantis and The Gardens Between. Being able to browse and buy from the eshop by smartphone isn't doing my wallet any good. Well, at least the icons look pretty on my menu screen. |

It’s currently back at the shop and I’m picking up a replacement this afternoon because one of the circuits was fucked. You can get a cream for the itch. |
