Controversy as short-arsed, snuffling, soon-to-die dog wins Crufts award for, presumably, still being able to draw breath...
Every Frenchie I meet when I walk my hound seems to be on the verge of dying of asthma and runs like it's in the throes of an epileptic fit. I feel sorry for the little fuckers, them and Pugs, as they seem to be bred to an aesthetic that people love, yet does the dog no favours in life.
But then The Kennel Club seems to love awarding rosettes for crippled dogs...
Did you see the Best of Breed Rottweiler? Thing had a head more like a bulldog than a rott.
Local cops haven't many GSD now, practically all Malinois now. Nearly impossible to find a GSD with a solid back now.
The United States Justice Department has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple, accusing the tech giant of engineering an illegal monopoly in smartphones that boxes out competitors.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in New Jersey, alleges that Apple has monopoly power and uses its control over the iPhone to "engage in a broad, sustained, and illegal course of conduct".

I kinda get, especially for older generations. You shouldn’t really mess with a countries colours. It’s a bit disrespectful. It’ll probably be more palatable if they do it to other countries as well. Biggest scorer here is, of course, Nike.
People getting in a tizz due to the St. George's Cross not being red and white.
I think the bigger shocker is that, what is essentially a gym top, is being touted for £125.
I'm not averse to an over-priced and trivial purchase, but FFS, that's a piss take.
The Cross of St George is the national flag of England. Quite what Nike are doing in trying to change the flag is beyond comprehension. But perhaps we shouldn't be surprised because this is the same company which promoted a man, Dylan Mulvaney, as a model to promote women's sports bras. If Nikes competitors have infiltrated and are now running Nikes promotion and advertising department then they are doing a pretty good job in sabotaging Nike.

I did wonder if they would be quite so free and easy in changing the colours of Ol' Glory on a USA soccer shirt. Can't imagine the gun-totin', truck-haulin' residents of certain southern states embracing that change.
What on earth was so bad to make someone want to do that. Tis an angry world we live in
