yeah, but you've got to be a nasty nuthead to be in the US military.

Not exactly...when it costs somewhere between 80 grand and a quarter of a million dollars to get a college degree, joining the military can be the only way to actually attain this for many. Travel and benefits generally top the list of reasons why people sign up.

Well that was one hell of a ride!  Still a bit to go with the recounts and it would be great if Arizona stayed blue.  The recount in Georgia may flip the state and the court may rule in favor of trump for Pennsylvania (unlikely but you never know) but can't see them turning anything else in a million years.

I was so whiskied up in 2008 (I got the train up to Sheffield to watch the election with my then girlfriend only for her to break uo with me at Sheffield train station and put me on a train home) that I don't remember watching this, but I've seen it twice today and I'm not sure I've seen a better concession speech in politics - let alone speech full stop. Yes McCain was not the good guy in that election, but he could at least act like a human being.

    • I got in for £11.25 in the end, which was absolutely ridiculously good value, and made the queues and overselling of the venue much more tolerable! Sniping in on other people’s unwanted tickets on the day of an event might become my new hobby I think 🥳
    • Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it. 
    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
