We know, we talked about it yesterday.
So what, I should not post about it?

The Slot era's start has been wonderful and even better than Klopp's first year. The team members click and work with each other. They are currently missing from the Man City team.
Nothing can be taken away from Pep Guardiola the greatest manager in the Premier League.
Newcastle are up next.

Trump needs to read the news. Gaza is already hell on earth. 50,000 dead including women, children, and babies. Destruction of all the buildings. Restricted aid trucks.

I know the number but I don’t have a card. Nobody ever asked me to get a card or sent me one to my knowledge. My health card is valid until next August, expect I’ll get a letter from city hall before then.
Probably nothing will happen unless you make it. Before next August you will need a My Number card from your city office.

I haven’t even got a My Number card, far as I know was never sent one unless my ex took it.
Everyone has a "number". Go to your city office and sort it because you will need it for your healthcare.

Liverpool was brilliant, with Gapko scoring the first goal in 12 minutes. Man City was disorganized and lacked teamwork. Guardiola is the best manager in the Premier League, having won six out of seven titles. Liverpool are 8 points clear at the top.

The fire services should be able to establish the cause of the fire. Dying in a fire, even from smoke inhalation is a dreadful way to die.
Looking at the video there is a large rear balcony untouched by the fire.

Bottled water is sold in PET plastic bottles. Millions of them. An estimated 1.3 billion plastic bottles are used each day across the world, which is about 1 million per minute. Many end up in the rivers and oceans helping to create microplastics.
Japan imports PET bottles of water from Europe and the US. Crazy when Japan has water, plain and mineral.

Some Japanese litter, throwing bento boxes and drink cans out of their car windows. When I walk along a beautiful river, I'm disgusted to find even a single piece of litter that could harm the wildlife. Unfortunately, there's always more than one piece.
