The high street giant denied its Sparks Pay credit account resembled a buy-now-pay-later scheme because it is regulated by the City watchdog, the Financial Conduct Authority – unlike similar products provided by other firms such as Klarna. 

He added: ‘Private equity may struggle to raise finance. This is why we believe we will also see a potential wave of corporate mergers and acquisitions. UK valuations were very attractive even before the dramatic fall in sterling.’ 

M&S said: ‘Should any M&S Bank customer experience financial difficulty and need further assistance, we have a dedicated financial support team who would be able to support and discuss the right solution for the customer.

And another person summed it up nicely, writing, «It’s not similar to Mario. It’s not similar to Mario’s vibe. It’s not even similar to the live action movie version. Just Chris Pratt sounding a little confused.»

Those commentating on the game were in disbelief because the odds were stacked against her with online betting casino DraftKings calculating there were around 150 ways for Lew to lose, but only six ways for her to win – which she proceeded to do. 

Chess genius, Hans Niemann, 19, (pictured) lost in the quarter finals of the Julius Baer Generation Cup on Thursday. The teen has been accused of cheating in a slew of different and imaginative ways, including using vibrating anal beads to communicate with his coach 

Honestly, the much-anticipated Pratt-as-Mario voice was kind of a letdown. There’s … maybe a faint bit of Italian accent in the few lines Pratt speaks? Or is he just using his normal voice? Pratt’s Mario mostly just reacts to getting the wind knocked out of him as he heads off on his Mushroom Kingdom adventure. 

It’s-a him. Chris Pratt as Mario in the movie. OK, so co-producer Chris Meledandri confirmed in 2021 that Pratt wouldn’t use the stereotyped voice of the video game plumber in the uanimated Mario film. But on Thursday, Nintendo dropped a  teaser trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Pratt revealed, kind of, the voice he did choose.

For most of its history MG – also known as Morris Garages – was associated with British open-top roadsters but that changed with the collapse of Rover in 2005, which saw the Chinese state-owned SAIC group take over.

The driver is understood to have been an accomplished off-road driver who knew the site ‘like the back of his hand’, with roll-bars fitted to the off-road vehicle said to have prevented an even greater tragedy.

‘A girl was given treatment at the scene for non-life threatening injuries before being conveyed to Worcestershire Royal Hospital.

A man, a woman and a second boy were also taken to the same hospital as a precaution for further checks.’

Blue chip firms including gambling group Entain, packaging company DS Smith and telecoms behemoths BT and Vodafone are all now vulnerable to foreign corporate raiders, according to experts at broker Canaccord Genuity. 

‘Forget ranges or game theory optimal play, even the most novice players simply don’t ever make that call simply based on the strength of their hand. You can always bluff in poker, but once your opponent moves all-in for twice the size of the pot, that’s where the bluffing stops.;

Sure, there was no way Pratt was going to use the exaggerated, stereotypical voice, but so little of him can actually be heard in the teaser it’s tough to say how his Mario will sound. He doesn’t deliver any of Mario’s famed catchphrases — no «It’s-a me, Mario» or «Wahoo!» Maybe more will be revealed when a longer trailer comes along. Regardless, there’s a better chance to hear some of Jack Black’s Bowser (he’s excellent) and a good look at the vibrant animation.

Adelstein hails from Tucson and has been playing Pkv poker professionally for almost a decade. His specialty is on ‘live no-limit hold ‘em cash games’ where he is known for his aggressive and large wagers.

The trailer did reveal Jack Black as Bowser, and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad. But some fans were disappointed that the clip didn’t include a clip of Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, especially the actor’s infamous laugh.

Graham Simpson from Canaccord said that as the UK stares down ‘the barrel of a recession’, bidders will be looking for firms with strong cash flows, high profit margins and low debt that could ‘weather the inflation and interest rates storm’.
