  1. Genuine Tory. His grandfather served with Ian Fleming during the war and is the reason the villain of Moonraker is called Drax. Further back in time the family owned the largest plantation in Barbados and, not coincidentally, the current Drax is strongly opposed to the government paying reparations for slavery.
  2. My experience of this in the UK recently is that the double-barrelled surname is less likely to be someone taking both names after marriage and more likely to be the children of that marriage using both parents’ names (or the children of parents who never were/no longer are married)
  3. Nah, you'll beat us to 6th, but then we'll win the Cup and take the Europa League place anyway.
  4. 5 places sometimes happens already if the CL or EL winner doesn't finish in their league's top 4 (e.g. Spain had 5 this year). Used to be that if the CL winner didn't qualify anyway through league position they'd kick the lowest placed qualifying (non-champion) team from their country down to the UEFA Cup, but that changed in 2005 when UEFA realised there was no way they'd get away with kicking Everton out to let Liverpool in.
  5. What's the reason the point deduction only applies if they are relegated, and not right now the way Everton's and Forest's did?
  6. If they really wanted to break up with Adidas they should have gone all the way and switched to Puma.
  7. Yeah, even when she went in they were saying she wouldn't return to "work" until after Easter, which is what makes the Mothers Day photoshop a massive own goal - they could have just kept pointing back at that statement and emphasising privacy, and while the circle-jerk of conspiracy theories would still have happened they wouldn't have got this big and crazy.
  8. The Norman French ones tend to keep the French spelling but change pronunciation, e.g. Beaulieu (Bewley) and Belvoir (Beaver)
  9. And people knew that at the time, hence the existence of abolitionist movements.
  10. Note that the judge didn't rule on whether Fox is or isn't a racist, he lost on the basis that being called a racist by those specific people didn't damage his reputation.
  11. Bound - the one with the Orion slave girls and their super-mind-control pheromones
  12. Unless you're Lower Decks. Then you talk about both!
  13. Enterprise got good in seasons 3 and 4 - from about midway in season 4 (the episode where the Earth embassy on Vulcan gets blown up) to the penultimate episode Terra Prime there's only really one bad episode. Although that episode is really bad.
  14. Essentially it means that the current vice-president won the election to be the new president so they'll continue with the current policy rather than the friendlier-to-China stance of the opposition.
  15. Fujitsu has started coming up today - there's questions being asked about whether they'll be contributing towards the compensation bill and how much, and whether they should still be getting government contracts.
