The best one, since it's related to cars, is probably Paul Walker and Vin Diesel. I don't know who would be who, since we're both not exactly jacked…

[sugdenlovesdingle]

So I just read an article in the paper about the UK government wanting to ban the (and I quote) "dangerous American super-bulldog" - the American Bully XL. Please excuse me while I roll my eyes at this bullshit.

The reason for this is apparently a man in Staffordshire being "mauled to death" by two dogs of that breed and according to Rishi Sunak it's a pattern in the breed's behaviour.

Even though apparently those specific dogs had attacked another dog before this incident and people had expressed their concern about them to the police.

That sounds to me like a problem with those specific dogs and even more so the owner. But the dogs get euthanised and the guy gets to go home on bail.

The article also quotes Bojo saying the problem in most cases is the owner and not the dog itself - and I never thought I'd say it but - listen to Boris!

I worked as a dog walker for four years and yes we had a staffie that became too much of a problem that we had to drop it as a client (because the owners wouldn't get it neutered even though the hormones were making it aggressive to us AND THEM) but we also had a dachshund that would terrorise the other dogs and tried to bite your face off if he was in a face-height crate in the bus. And we had a chihuahua who only wanted to ride in the front with my boss - and he'd also try to bite your face off if you tried to put it in a crate in the back. Same with a Jack Russell. Most of the big "dangerous" dogs were gentle giants. (my boss' wife used to walk 3 Dogues de Bordeaux when she was pregnant with their first and she'd always tell me she never felt more safe).

First it were German shepherds that were dangerous, then rottweilers, then staffies and everything that looks like staffies, and now the American Bully XL.

My old neighbours have a dog like that and I swear to god it was scared of its own shadow. It would run and hide before attacking anyone.

Banning a breed doesn't solve the problem if the assholes that own them "train" them to be fighting dogs, forcing ALL bullies to wear a muzzle in public won't solve the problem if people still don't train their dogs normally (and may cause medical issues because of their brachycephalic faces - the flat noses). Your dog is your responsibility. If you know your dog doesn't get on with other dogs, keep it on a leash and away from other dogs. If you know your dog might snap in certain situations, it is your duty as an owner to make sure that doesn't happen. To your dog and the rest of the world.

The only ones who will benefit from this ban will be the manufacturers and sellers of muzzles for dogs with brachycephalic faces.

Sorry for the rant but this pisses me off.

The Royal Family have united at a Christmas concert hours after the controversial documentary came to a conclusion this morning.

Kate Middleton is hosting the concert at Westminster Abbey in London, where royals will come together for the festive event.

The concert will be broadcast as part of Royal Carols: Together At Christmas, a special programme narrated by Catherine Zeta Jones, which will air on ITV1 at Christmas Eve.

The special Christmas service is dedicated to the late Queen and will recognise the selfless efforts of individuals, families and communities across the UK.

A synopsis for the show outlines that the service aims to dedicate the late monarch and the values that she demonstrated throughout her life, including “duty, empathy, faith, service, kindness, compassion and support for others.”

It adds: “These principles are shared and personified by the inspirational guests who have been invited to the Abbey in recognition of their tireless work to help and care for those around them.”

Prince William, King Charles, Camilla, The Queen Consort, and other members of the Royal Family will be in attendance.

Kate looked incredibly festive in a beautiful fit and flare plum V-neck style dress for the evening.

She matched her look with a pair of suede heeled shoes and a glittery clutch bag, and accessorised her look with what appeared to be drop ruby gem earrings.

With her brunette locks styled into bouncy blow dried curls, she smiled at crowds who were gathered by the Abbey in London as she was pictured walking past a row of lit Christmas trees.

Following her arrival, other members of the family were pictured attending the venue.

Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, and her sister Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi followed into the church.

Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, was then seen entering, wearing an elegant white trench coat.

The Abbey is filled with festive decorations to provide a beautiful Christmas backdrop and some of the nation’s most beloved carols, including O Come, All Ye Faithful, will be sung.

There will be performances from Craig David, Alexis Ffrench and Samantha Barks, and a special duet from Alfie Boe and former Spice Girl Melanie C.

Readings from Prince William, Dame Kristin Scott Thomas, Hugh Bonneville and Kadeena Cox have also been organised.

As well as this, the broadcast will feature additional content, including an introduction from Kate, as well as films highlighting individuals who have gone above and beyond to support others this year, and tributes to the Queen.

Kate recently published a behind-the-scenes filming picture on The Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Twitter account.

Wearing a sequin-covered Aurora Ballerina Dress from Needle & Thread that she debuted at a Buckingham Palace reception in January 2020, the Princess stood in front of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree as she beamed at the camera.

The princess wore her hair in loose curls and rocked the same dangling ruby Soru earrings she wore the first time she sported the dress.

She captioned the post:

"#TogetherAtChristmas @ itv Christmas Eve."

Social media users have taken to express their joy at Kate hosting the Carol concert again this year, as well as complimenting how "lovely" she always looks.

One person wrote: "The Princess looks so beautiful. Can't wait for this year's Christmas concert."

And another said: "So much beauty, talent and grace! Thank you Prince William for marrying someone that makes the UK and the Commonwealth so proud!"

While a third put: "Looking forward to it. Hoping that it is now an annual tradition. Loving the jobs that you are doing for us all."

And a fourth wrote: "Wow, Princess of Wales looking stunning and classy."

Another user said: "Catherine always looks lovely. Cannot wait to see who will be involved this year. Last year was amazing!"

Last year, Kate also sported red for the “Together at Christmas” event, wearing a Catherine Walker coat dress with a large bow at the neck.

She also sat down to play the piano for a special performance with singer Tom Walker, wowing the British public.

Jones, Margie Joseph, The Knack’s 1979 “My Sharrona” single, Billy J. Kramer, Deana Martin (great to have gigged with you), Diana Muldaur, Luis Muñoz, Spud Murphy, one of my heroes Johnny Nash, Ogden Nash, National Aviation Day (1939), Debra Paget, the 1944 liberation of Paris, Christina Perri, Beat Raaflaub, Eddy Raven, Gene Roddenberry, John Stamos, Jason Starkey, my excellent boss Nate Stevens, Clay Walker, Lee Ann Womack, and singer-songwriter and gospel music provocateur Edwin Hawkins. He challenged prevailing notions about sacred vs. secular and broadened the field for gospel music, bridging it with funk, pop, rock, and soul. Despite challenges to his early career and ministry, he earned many awards and made many well-received records, yet still kept his eyes on God. He’s best known for his recording of “Oh Happy Day, “ an extension of an 18th century hymn. Edwin updated it in 1967 and his worship group played it repeatedly at the Ephesian Church of God in Christ in Berkeley CA. In 1969 Hawkins took the church group and made a small budget recording of it on a custom label, with Dorothy Combs Morrison on co-lead vocals. Their modest production is lo-fi by today’s standards but—lo and behold—the track became a surprise international hit, reaching #4 in the USA, #2 in the UK, Canada, and Ireland, and #1 in France, Germany, and The Netherlands. 

Edwin’s version won a Grammy in 1970, has appeared in upwards to 20 movie soundtracks ,and has been covered countless times. It was also included on the RIAA Songs of the Century. George Harrison stated the song was a primary inspiration for “My Sweet Lord.” Here’s our modest take on it, and HB EH—thank you for making a joyful noise.

UK wags scandal?

Hands down John Terry, Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand and their wives. I don't need to elaborate on why.

Terry pulled an Icardi before that was even a thing tbh

To be honest, I can see Kyle Walker, Trent, Declan Rice or Jack Grealish doing something messed up like they did
