  1. You usually want people disqualified for this sort of patter.
  2. World Cup 2022: TikTok brings football fever to millions of fans - BBC News But, just like the football, not everything goes to plan on TikTok either. "There was a point [in the group stage] where Japan and Costa Rica were going to knock Spain and Germany out. I was getting ready to film a TikTok and was so excited - and then Spain went through," Alice says. Junior adds: "I think all content creators felt the same in those 60 seconds - like yes, content!" Showcasing positive elements of the World Cup on TikTok are a contrast to some of the human rights controversies surrounding the tournament. Alice admits that she went into the World Cup with a viewpoint that was "quite negative". Qatar has been criticised for its ban on same-sex relationships and its treatment of migrant workers. "But then I see people like Ben out in Qatar capturing footage of the stadiums and the vibes," she adds.
  3. I would've enjoyed seeing that training. "Right lads, I know you're worried about getting gutted/slashed/decapitated by all the swords you'll be up against, so we're giving you a hat to deflect them with. If you see a sword I want you going in head first."
  4. Weatherman on BBC News not wearing a tie and looking like he's off for his Christmas night out instead. Are there no fucking standards anywhere anymore?
  5. Why do the people who want to talk about things always win?
  6. Very annoyingly given the propensity of 500g bags, about 230g usually does me a single serving. Unless it's spaghetti, in which case however much I put in is never enough.
  7. Normal Island's state broadcaster's website with its news section's priorities in order:
  8. I refuse to believe the demand for tickets to PMQs is that high.
  9. What do these people think will happen if they're successful. Say they get into government, kill/remove all the people in charge and go on the telly and say "we're running things now." Do they think the rest of the country or world will just sit and go along with it?
  10. I alluded to it already but I think the ending was fine. I was disappointed at first because of the apparent mystery the game leads you towards, but the twist is that there is no twist. There's not supposed to be. Henry and Delilah are trying to escape and want something spectacular to take them away, but there isn't anything.
  11. I'd like to thank everyone for the past few pages. Sometimes I feel bad about not having any friends and being completely intolerable to women, but reading this talk about weddings (positive and negative) is bringing me out in a rash so it's probably for the best.
  12. Didn't that guy complain about someone who took a video of it and got #numbers online?
  13. Week 49 update One death this week, three deaths this week, and housekeeping. First up was a death this week, former Chinese president Jiang Zemin: Jiang Zemin obituary | China | The Guardian Current president XI Jinping looks like Winnie the Pooh. Jiang apparently resembled a toad. It's a tough gig, this being president of China. Jiang died at 96 so he's worth 29 Base Points for @10menwent2mow, with a Solo Shot giving him a total of 79 points. ================== Now, two deaths I missed. From October, American football man Charley Trippi: Charley Trippi dead: NFL legend and oldest living hall of famer dies aged 100 - Mirror Online Those are certainly numbers. Trippi died at 100 so he's worth 25 Base Points for @stanton and a Solo Shot for 75 points in total. ================== The final death to report this week is one which I rather embarrassingly posted about at the time. I blame Deborah James for distracting me. Actor and theme song singer, Dennis Waterman: Dennis Waterman obituary | Register | The Times Waterman died at 74 so he's worth 51 Base Points for @Glen Sannox, with a Solo Shot giving him 101 points. After those, the standings look like this: 1. Bishop Briggs 691 2. JustOneCornetto 680 3. Indale Winton 635 4. Ned Nederlander 571 5. chompmyroot 551 6. Arch Stanton, sparky88 518 8.

The 2023 Dead Pool thread will go up next Sunday.
  14. "The look on her face was one of disappointment." That's supposed to be good, is it?
  15. Five hundred words kicking the shit out of Simon Scharma.
  16. Might be a bit past its best by the time Christmas comes.
  17. You do, now. The people who take it off and chuck it when they're about to finish the bottle.
  18. Remember when Neymar was injured in 2014 and Brazil came out for their WC semi against Germany acting like he died? f**k knows what state they'll be in if Pele goes.
  19. I'm going to start a punk band called Hardcore Trans Ideology.
  20. They're supposed to be like that, the lid stays attached so the whole thing can be recycled.
