Hi

@zafarcakes.bsky.social Never been more proud of Britan

Reza Pahlavi gets what he wanted - the re establishment of an Iranian ruling dynasty. Everyone wins!

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm.

Personally whenever Arsenal score I shout “ZONE 17!!”

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

“It’s a simple, non-experimental cream”

That’s how ‘being paid for things’ works!

If only the Iranian resistance to the regime had a peace prize of some sort to offer him

I suppose ultimately I’d much prefer hippy kooky to fascist kooky

I’d love to see them drop the whole leaving NATO thing too. And the weird natural birth stuff.

Death Star vibes

He’s not getting in through the windows

You could say that he smells Nice

Pathetic. He’s being condemned for using racist language.

And thank god you were here to point that out. I wouldn’t have understood otherwise.

The first person I personally heard using the phrase was John Ossoff.

Especially with you guys winning the Championship next year

Having an educated middle class that can’t find work tends to work out great for societies right

@tim-stillman.bsky.social Just did an audible groan when I heard your Lewis-Skelly/ESR comparison and realised that I think you’re right.

And who are who are absolutely *gorgeous*

Matt has a rare micro-Starmer growing out of his right shoulder. Should get that checked out…

He plays in LA, he has to look like that legally

Good job Nick Pope doesn’t play for Spurs

Good job Nick Pope doesn’t play for Spurs eh

*one of Madueke or Eze

Yeah. If I were running the club (god forbid) I’d have bought Isak (assuming that was possible) and not bought Madueke or Eze.

I was saying all summer that we should have bought fewer, better players and then we had loads of injuries almost straight away and needed the depth! So what do I know.

We’re talking about how to improve a really good team which is playing in a tough league, as you say. It’s clear that the way to improve this team is in attack. I think that just rankles because it’s been largely true for a few years.

The point is that we drew several of those games and were close to drawing almost all the rest. Just a few more goals in there and there’s no more talk of a title race.
