Posted in: Leeds confirm approval for takeover by 49ers' owners See in context

Farke was a good decision for a manager having taken Norwich up twice, the relegation between promotions was mainly due to not having the transfer budget to bring players in with Premiership experience. This time around if he gets the promotion with Leeds then with the 49's backing and money he could do a decent job in keeping the team up.

First up, lets see which of the star players he is able to keep and who he brings in to replace those that will/have been transferred out.

Posted in: Hospital doctors walk out in UK health service's biggest ever strike See in context

The Tories are in the process of trying to privatise certain parts of the NHS or at least tendering off bits to private firms for a set number of years with a set budget for them to work with. Some of them are then doing the bare minimum so they can maximise the profit from that budget by the time the retender is due.

Posted in: British actor Glenda Jackson, two-time Oscar winner, then left-wing politician, dies at 87 See in context

She has regularly said that the appearance on the Morcambe & Wise show was the height of her career and it was the reason she got the role which led to her second Oscar. She was stunning playing Cleopatra in that skit, showed what great comedic timing she had.

She will be missed.

RIP.

@BertieWooser - My guess is the highest readership is from the US and UK going by the stories covered on this website daily.

I'd be interested to hear what @JeffLee and @NipporiNick consider good music? Then again, probably not.

Well, the price increase has confirmed my decision to get a car rental for my next visit and only visit locations within a couple of hours drive of Tokyo.

It's good to know that she found the Love and happiness she craved for when she met Bach.

As has been said by many people already, Tina, you were Simply the Best.

RIP.

@jimizo, seems one downvote for you has triggered one person at least. I always find it amusing that they flat out deny this stuff without providing proof or any logical reasoning behind it. I see one comment has already done this "I says it is fake and so it is".

A genuine man who used his fame for all the right purposes, always spoke his mind, never afraid to stand up for what he believed in. The world is a poorer place today without him.

RIP Mr O'Grady.

I'd like to know exactly what safety standards the US has that a company that runs Shinkansen without incident in a earthquake zone for decades can't meet.

My only guess is that the magnets may not be of sufficient strength to carry all the overweight Americans.

Dear staff, the directors need to make the hard decision of either keeping you employed or making you redundant so we can make huge profits. Please understand, as a corporation, we don't want some of the money... we want ALL of the money.

The last time I checked, no-one is being forced to buy their music. People do have a choice, if you don't like what they are doing, don't buy it or listen to the music on any streaming service. I for one, will be following my own advice and not giving a damn about these remixes.

Simple really.

Absolutely loved this chocolate as a kid and always got a box when my parents picked one up coming back through Duty Free. Not eaten it in years and probably won't in the future due to the whole 'shrinkflation', Mondelez seemed determined to kill this brand off for some reason.

The people of Britain just keep voting the clowns in the Tory party into Government and Labour aren't doing themselves any favours by constantly having weak leadership since Blair.

This is pretty cool, always nice to get surprises that could lead to redefining the current understanding of how the Universe works.

No doubt the Creationists out there are going to be jumping all over this as proof that science has always been wrong.

Don't bang on about how great the US Constitution is when some of it isn't fit for purpose in this day and age and makes the US a laughing stock on the world stage.

I hope she is keeping a journal though, I can see an eventual money making book deal at some point in her future.

Marsch's style of football wasn't going to work in the Premier League as he didn't have the players in defence to make it work. It'll be interesting to see if Leeds can take the confidence boost from this game and turn the screws on ManUre this Sunday.

Musk is a snake oil salesman and I just can't understand how people keep throwing money at him time after time. The reality is all the people working at his various companies that should be getting the credit for his success.
