Always thought Rashford has bags of talent but is highlly erractic and yet to find a proper role but then as Dice pointed out he is young and hasn't had the greatest enviroment with the changes in manager, team stuggling etc during his breakthrough period. The one I have always stuggled with how he gets near a United team is Lingard.

That’s what the Rashford criticism reminds me of.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

He's highlighted that he has more top level experience in terms of mins than almost any top level player of a similar age so he's not your standard 21 year old breaking through. 133 apps over 5 years and 36 caps for England.
He deserves to criticised in the same manner of those with similar mileage and cannot hide behind the age to the same degree as others.
He doesn't see him as a No9 long term.

Swapped out the kitchen hob for an induction one recently so my aluminium stovetop pot was redundant. Picked up an aeropress recently on the back of bbv recommendation. Great piece of kit tbf. Waiting on a stainless steel filter from aliexpress to get rid of paper. Any recommendations for a storage bag or case?

I have never been to Greece, despite it being the one place I wanted to go as a kid who loved Greek mythology, and then teen who loved Greek literature, history, art, philosophy etc.
So I pulled the trigger to go to Athens with a friend for 5 days in February. Flights less than ā¬60, Airbnb central apartment with first time discount ā¬66 total between us! I almost feel bad. Coincidentally I'm listening to a very lively translation of The Iliad on audiobook atm.

Gotta hand it to the baggage lads in Schipol, they love fucking with the travelling public. Dublin baggage clearly signed as coming out on carousel 20 so everyone dutifully lines up there and awaits delivery.
After 5 minutes, I remember I've seen this movie before and wander down to no 22 where lo and behold, I find my bag gently circulating. I nab it and do my good deed for the day by returning to my fellow travellers to break the good news. Reckon I saved 50 people 30 minutes each there."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

What do you make of the Chinese coming in for the Sunderland steel plant? I know they are more or less being paid to take it but I don't really see how it fits into anyone's vision of the future

From memory it was someone doing due diligence for a potential purchase and spotted it and then reported them to the FR. Might have gone on longer only for that.His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,By stealing the girl of his fancy.Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil,But everyone knew her as Nancy.

Meanwhile they were was āsomebodyā amending peopleās valuation statements to make it look like they were invested in cash not property.
Appian asset management completed the purchase of the Invesment management piece of the business but then saw the issue pretty quickly and had to hold the feet of the CBI to the flame by going down to the courts to seek an injunction on the deal. The regulator was already aware of the issue but was basing their supervision plan on hoping CHC would get some new property investor and it would all be grand. This cost Appian a million in legals and having to lay-off the newly acquired staff.
The pension savers and Appian are the two injured parties from the fraud. The wider pension industry and its credibility also took a terrible reputational hit.āIF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.ā Genghis Khan
