  1. Jethro Tull founding member dies aged 82 2 hours ago Neve Gordon-Farleigh Getty Images Mick Abrahams starred on Jethro Tull's debut album, This Way, released in 1968 Mick Abrahams, a founding member of rock band Jethro Tull, has died at the age of 82. Posting on the band's official website, lead singer Ian Anderson said he was sorry to hear of the death of the "strong vocalist and experienced, powerful and lyrical guitarist". He said Luton-born Abrahams had "endured worsening ill health for the last 15 years, leaving him finally unable to perform". Anderson said Abrahams was "vitally important" to the band's early line-up and developed his musical ideas into a "tour de force display of his instrumental talents for the rest of his performing days". Jethro Tull were formed "out of the ashes" of The John Evan Band and McGregor's Engine, the blues band Abrahams formed with Clive Bunker in the Luton/Dunstable area, said Anderson. Abrahams played on Tull's first album, This Was, but left shortly after it was finished, and went on to found another successful band, Blodwyn Pig. After pursuing a solo career between 1971 and 2017, he retired from performing following a stroke. Anderson described him as a "homebody" who "liked to gig around the home counties". He said: "We all offer our condolences to Mick's family and close friends, who can feel justifiably proud of his achievements and musical legacy."
  2. https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-war-zelensky-putin-attack-update-11258377 Russia-Ukraine War: Zelensky Issues Fresh Putin Demand After Massive Attack Published Dec 23, 2025 at 03:45 AM EST updated Dec 23, 2025 at 03:59 AM EST Shane Croucher By Shane Croucher Breaking News Editor Newsweek is a Trust Project member Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the world it must apply more pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war after he said Moscow's forces had launched a "massive" overnight attack into Tuesday with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles, causing at least three deaths, including a little girl. "This Russian strike sends an extremely clear signal about Russia’s priorities. A strike ahead of Christmas, when people want simply to be with their families, at home, in safety," Zelensky said in a post on Telegram, originally in Ukrainian. "A strike carried out virtually in the midst of negotiations aimed at ending this war. Putin cannot accept the need to stop killing. And this means the world is not applying enough pressure on Russia. Action is needed now. Russia must be forced toward peace and guaranteed security." A woman died in the Kyiv region and another person in Khmelnytskyi. A four-year-old girl died in Zhytomyr when a residential building was struck by a drone. Zelensky said the strike hit energy and civilian infrastructure. He had earlier proposed a Christmas truce on energy strikes to shield civilians on either side from blackouts and unheated homes during the bitter winter months, which Russia rejected. The Kremlin has repeatedly ruled out temporary ceasefires, saying Ukraine would use a pause to regroup and rearm while it is losing on the battlefield. Instead, Russia says it wants a peace agreement that ends the fighting to be comprehensive and permanent. During the latest Russian attack on Ukraine, neighboring NATO ally Poland scrambled fighter jets. Poland also put ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems on "the highest state of readiness" to protect NATO territory, Warsaw's military said. Earlier in the year, Poland shot down what it said were Russian drones violating its airspace.
  3. True but we have a need for situational players as well. He could be a good goalline player.
  4. they have a very good young receiver also
  5. Very productive ILB
  6. Shit, I don’t even know if that’s true. But, it sure would have been nice to know before the season that there were more pressing needs that required funding and there was no need to kiss that chump’s ass.
  7. We would have been better off if we had let him walk after the playoffs and used the money on a starter level left guard.
  8. Moscow probes Kyiv link after bomb kills general Russian general killed in car bomb in Moscow 04:50 Russian general killed in suspected car bomb in Moscow By Virginia Pietromarchi Published On 22 Dec 202522 Dec 2025 Al Jazeera Russian authorities say a car bomb explosion in southern Moscow has killed Lieutenant General ⁠Fanil Sarvarov. Investigators say they are pursuing various lines of inquiry, including the possibility the attack was “linked” to “Ukrainian special forces”. A Ukrainian drone attack damaged two vessels, two piers, and sparked a fire in a village on the Black Sea coast in Russia’s Krasnodar region, according to regional authorities.
  9. He should probably stay as it seems like a good match.
  10. Yeah, I don't know anything about him but he has the requisite size - Big step up in competition, but...
  11. He was referring to Hedley Lamarr.
  12. Good point - What the fuck is going on with Georgia now?
  13. But, he sure can tell a good story.
  14. It's all that MSG
  15. When are we getting Lee?
  16. Yay Houston!
  17. Well, they can’t keep a 3 loss tOSU out. They had a tough schedule.
  18. I have a degree from Tulane and still can’t watch the game.
  19. Flood is a decent field coach. I wonder if a good portion of his problem is his lack of ability to convince Sark and Banks that he needs more NIL. His inability to recognize his interior line deficiencies is unforgivable, however.
  20. Just to clarify: Hoo-hoo-hoo Go on, take the money and run
  21. FIFY - Kid, I get it. You're young, but you need to go to the Crash Davis School of Platitudes for interviews.
  22. Yeah, that is the question. If he can get drafted and make more in the draft than through NIL then he should go this year. Next year, no matter how much he improves, he will not be one of the top 5 quarterbacks.
  23. And finals are always in Dallas?
