Probably wasn't savaged though. I imagine Rishi said, "you said what we (horrid Tories) were all thinking but the public has turned against you."

Good riddance anyway!

Do you think it went down like that? Sunak probably ask her very politely, apologisisng loads with tears in his eyes. She would eat him for breakfast, surely? Unless he called in his wife and father in law for support.

Does it even matter?
It went down and the country is aware she was "sacked", regardless if it was a nice experience or not, her name has been marked with failure.
Time for a tory promotion.

Outside of that, Pantera in the 90's please.
LH room after AD21.

The your country needs you call to Cameron, would have been more interesting/surprising than Suella

Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted. And I'd also like to see 90s Pantera.

I'd love to have seen the Tunguska event (from some distance!).

It matters in terms of the PM of the country being an honest person who will stand up for the right thing. In this case she's only sacked because of media interest.

thats not what we are discussing though.
Yes she probably didnt get sacked and savaged and laughed out the room. But the whole country now knows she cannot be trusted for a position of power.
So, we'll see her up as a top seat candidiate tory after Sunak loses the next election. Promotion via failure, its a Chris Grayling/D Cameron/ T May/ L Truss story.

Moon landing on a crap black n white TV wouldn't have been that great

However I could one day see a Space X rocket stage land itself.

I don't know, the moon probably would have looked a nice shade of grey

^ you mock Boris, but imo he's been the most competent pm in the last few years (open to a mild discussion on this, without it turning into speakers corner).

Did you watch any of the COVID inquiry?

Mr Johnson was "weak and indecisive" and "often changed his mind"; the prime minister apparently questioned shutting down the economy to save people who were going to "die anyway"

Simon Case: Top official thought Johnson couldn't lead on Covid

Simon Case said the former PM changed direction "every day", in evidence heard by the Covid inquiry.

Boris Johnson thought old people should accept Covid fate, inquiry told

The former PM's handling of the virus comes under attack over six hours of testimony by aides.

www.bbc.co.uk

Boris Johnson asked scientists if hair dryer could kill Covid, says ex-aide

Former adviser Dominic Cummings says the ex-PM asked top scientists about a video making the claim.

Just because he has been the most competent in the last 6 years does not mean we should celebrate him. (your words by the way, I dont think any of them screamed or showed any level of competency).

Meet the prophet Mohammed so I know what he looked like because there are no drawings of him for some reason.

That's literally saying I'd rather eat bird poo over dog poo.

Different flavoured poo is still poo.

Dare I google that? Is it a thing?

It is a thing. You can google it and find out, its not actual bat poo.
But its not exactly the most sanitary type of coffee out there.

How he took that loss compared to how I took that loss, just as a fan, says a lot about his character.

For me? Some big volcano eruptions, the colosseum in all of it's glory at the time it would've been 'cutting edge', the constructions of Pyramids and Atlantis (if it actually existed).

Meeting a few historically significant people would also be interesting.

Bat poo coffee? I've had Kopi Luwak before which is coffee that has been pooed out by the Civet Cat.

Actually quite nice.

Yeah its a thing, I have not had it and I do not wish to try.
I'll pass on cat poo coffee too!

Don't knock it till you try it!

I'm currently investigating which beans I can consume and poop out before selling it to members in the espresso thread. I'll call them "Junglist Drops"
