  1. It is... humorous and... political.
  2. We had to put our Subreddit on temporary hiatus because of the type of sub we have and the type of people it attracts. This really is the worst possible outcome for the USA right at this point in time. I'm not going to say what we're all thinking: But it would ultimately have been a better result. Now? He wins it.
  3. Was Harry Kane even there? I saw him meandering offside in the box once, and that seemed to be his entire contribution to the match. And he got a yellow. Well... done?
  4. It'd be about 3am here as well. In fairness, I'm usually awake around that time anyway. The number of goals scored in normal time kinda screams we literally don't know how to play football. I'll give it to Southgate, he's got a steady hand, but it's time for a little bit of risk taking.
  5. Need an opinion: I have not watched a single game due to the time difference (+8 hours). Should I, or should I not, take the plunge and watch? Last time I stayed up for an England match was a dismal, deathly-dull 0-0 draw.
  6. This is like Idiotsincars, but "Billionaires ruin stuff".
  7. Cor, cripes, Lummee! Ol' Bozza off the bench eh? What do now chaps? Shall we go on the razz? I'll ask nanny if I'm allowed!
  8. @EEVILMURRAY Yes, it's easier to find a position when you already have one. Again, that security is so vital.
  9. Job satisfaction and job security... There's anxiety one way or the other, I'd take security on account of the mortgage, but be on the look-out for something I enjoy.
  10. Can anyone explain what Fast X was about? I have never watched a movie in this franchise before, and going on the basis of what I saw the other day, I never will.
  11. Bob - The Mandalorian is maybe 2-3 years post battle of Endor i.e. ROTJ, Andor is maybe 1-2 years Before Battle of Yavin, i.e. A New Hope. There's about ten year's difference, give or take.
  12. I remember waaaay back when the "Dodgy Dossier" was a thing and that gentleman who was hounded to death by the press committed suicide: The BBC newsroom had a distinctly anti-government bent to it, you could tell the hosts were practically spitting venom over the way that the press were being used as the scapegoat for the misdeeds of the Labour Government.
  13. @Jimbob My parents were essentially dirven out of the house I grew up in due to 2am-noise from the farm -Noise Abatement from the Local Council could do squat. Beautiful house and so many happy memories. But when the floodlights and tractors are starting up every night and you have to be on the way to work at 6:30, not such an ideal situation.
  14. Merry Christmas, Mrs Iun got Covid for Christmas and I think she's wanting to split the gift so we both get use out of it. Anyway, Peas on Earth, Good Will to All Ben!
  15. I am never getting up at 3am to watch England again. What a shower of shit. Why is Pickford still first choice? HE CAN'T REACH THE BALL.
  16. England match is 3am here, after the performance against the US, I did not watch the match Vs Wales. I'm tempted to get up, but only because the next day is Sunday and I can have a lie-in.
  17. "If you are here, you are one of us" No, no... I accept and welcome LGBTQ+ people; I think women don't need to be chaperoned everywhere; alcohol is fine - if you don't like it, don't drink it... And I'm not going to turn into a sex-crazed maniac because I have seen an elbow.
  18. I used Twitter for about three days several years ago. I got bored. I am very much enjoying seeing Elon Musk implode in-real time.
  19. Do not go gentle into that long "goodnight"...
  20. Thanks, Ash. It's been a few years and talking to him on the phone (I'm still overseas) has shown a marked decline, which has been sad.
  21. Yeah, my granddad turned 92 a few days back and he's just so miserable after the death of my grandmother several years ago. He finds no joy in living and has completely lost his spark. He's not saying it outright, but I have the strong feeling that he has given up on life.
  22. I think "yes" in any case: the in-built will to live just overpowers everything for me. Would I like to be an immobile shell with a barely functional mind? No. But if Death comes anywhere near me, I'm going to tear his face off.
  23. It was not as good as the first, I think that's very fair to say. A lot of what you pointed out was true, especially regarding the wedding. I enjoyed it as throwaway entertainment, but I found myself craving more intellectual stimulation afterwards. Asimov was the answer.
