    Political Discussions And Ranting Thread

    I think he was astonished (and possibly a bit disappointed) to win in 1992. As the Parliament progressed divisions over Europe and a few scandals meant things looked dire by 1997 the writing was on the wall especially after John Smith was replaced by Tony Blair

    Eva Marie Saint

    She was in North by Northwest which is generally considered to be Hitchcock's masterpiece and she won an academy award for On The Waterfront. She is in the top tier of Hollywood nonagenarians

    The big difference between Sunak and Corbyn is that whilst a lot of people really disliked Jeremy Corbyn there was a hardcore of people who really liked him and flocked to see him speak. Whereas those people who do not dislike Sunak aren't singing his praises from the highest hills. It is greeted with a shrug and a better than Truss/Johnson/Starmer* *delete as appropriate

    Football Manager Sacking Bingo 3

    Rotherham part company with their manager two weeks after relegation to League one was confirmed He was only appointed a few weeks ago clearly with his mission to be to keep Rotherham in the Championship and failed but I think no-one should have been surprised at the outcome. In an extremely competitive league Rotherham have looked like an outlier for the entire season. Though as it stands it is looking like the bottom three are all Yorkshire clubs. Well hopefully Leeds will keep the Championship flag flying for Yorkshire next season (when they will be joined by Sheffield United)

  10. Chart music is a market place and there is always a need for fresh faced bubblegum pop peddlars. However with A Piece of Me is see Britney trying to move beyond that. I think it deliberately strikes a discordant note. With regard to Morrissey fortunately his songs rarely troubled the upper reaches of the charts

I understand why some people dislike it but I think it is one of Britney Spears best songs
