4 years ago. Prescient.
Last tweet of night: huge congrats again to Man City commercial team for raising their commercial income in 2021-22 more than 13% to £309.5m, or more than 50% of total income. Man Utd could only manage £258m, or 44.2% in the same period. Seems totally legit.

It won't be forever. I remember my colleagues changing SDA to BGW in the former Swissair PSS ca.2005 S = Saddam if you remember him.
I am deeply honored that at 5:01 a.m., Trump Force One will be the first plane to land at the newly renamed Palm Beach International Airport — now and forever President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT). There is no person who has done more for Florida and our country, and no one more deserving of this incredible honor. As a son, and someone who flies out of this airport nearly every day, I will forever be proud to see the initials “DJT” on my boarding pass. Congratulations Dad — I’m happy to have played a big role in making this happen. Thanks to @megforflorida, @GovRonDeSantis, @AGJamesUthmeier, and so many others for your incredible support.

Good simple (I'm being complimentary) analogy. And that Tesco shopping bag is extra heavy. It's got a piano in it:

"Armchair tough guy" @SecWar @DeptofWar @PeteHegseth Spin this one please @PressSec I've visited the USA 25+ times. Beautiful country. Now governed by dangerous people.
Pete Hegseth on Trump in 2016: “Typical Trump. All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. This is a guy who said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.” @Acyn

Chaos seeded again
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace…” In 60 years’ reporting, I’ve never seen a message like Trump’s to Norway’s PM. We’ve left the realm of diplomacy for somewhere far more disturbing.

Saturday 30th October 1982 Salford University Squeeze I first saw Gilson and he was perfect. RIP big man.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of a dear friend of the show, Gilson Lavis. As a former member of Squeeze and long-standing drummer in Jools' Orchestra, we fondly remember him as one of the greats. Here we look back on just some of his best bits on the Hootenanny.

Facts and numbers. How and when will it all end? You tell me.
The Glazers' leveraged buyout of Manchester United in 2005 cost approximately £790 million and loaded around £600 million in debt onto the club, which had previously been virtually debt-free. The majority of the purchase was financed through loans secured against the club's assets, a practice that has generated massive interest payments and remains unpopular with fans. Debt totalling around: £790M Now let’s get into what year and how much interest the club has had to pay… 2006: £113M of £168M Revenue 2007: £45.5M 2008: £68.8M 2009: £45.5M 2010: £45M 2011: £51.7M 2012: £43.5M 2013: £53.2M 2014: £70.8M 2015: £19M 2016: £34M 2017: £22M 2018: £30.6M 2019: £25.6M 2020: £26.3M 2021: £27.6M 2022: £29M 2023: £44.3M 2024: £53.18M 2025: £49.79M (March 2025) £900M in Debt Interest Payements. 💸 Then they paid £116M to themselves in Dividends… So In total with the Debt, the interest payments, the dividends and other loans & Bonds The Glazers have stolen £1.9 Billion…. From our football club, as what tops it off is our own personal United supports trust (@MU_ST) are refusing to co operate with our fan groups. Now we need them now more than ever to co operate with our fan groups and we need to come together, Stay United 🔰🇾🇪

They said Lehman was fine...days before it collapsed. They’re saying the labor market is ‘resilient’... as layoffs accelerate. We’ve seen this movie before.

This is from @Mickey_A_65 but was at the end of a video thread so maybe it got missed. Human League, Don't You Want Me to a train waitress. What United supporters are all about. Fantastic stuff on the way to Bilbao.
