  1. The Finns are on a bit of a poor run themselves, for a side who were OK a few years ago. Of course, they skelped Norn Iron recently, but you have to be really shite not to cuff them comfortably.

    Gibraltar have gone twelve games without scoring a goal, and conceded an average of four goals per game during that time. Obviously this means that they'll score at least once, and we'll score fewer than four. In the absence of Steven Fletcher, perhaps time for Che to knock in a couple; it's been a while.

  2. The US/UK Office comparisons made me wonder why the Americans never tried doing their own version of Fawlty Towers, but it turns out that they did. Three times.

    IIRC, they're also on their fourth attempt at remaking Peep Show, one of which starred Johnny Galecki of Roseanne and The Big Bang Theory fame.

    Edit: they're actually on remake attempt #5 for Peep Show.

    Don't know what rules the judge is going by, but if he raised the fines for breaches of the gag order to a golf course per pop he'd shut up sharpish. I really think he's trying to get jailed. 

    He certainly doesn't give a f**k about it happening, so he's quite rightfully confident that the consequences won't inconvenience him in any meaningful way.

    I'm wondering if they've come to an agreement that he'll be confined to barracks with his phone removed; the logistics of tossing him in Rikers like a normal person would be unacceptable for everyone (except us).

    99% very happy.  1% reasonably happy.

    I admitted to being unhappy; now I'm typing this from a Unionist gulag  :(

    Mind when they were all convinced they were going to be rounded up by the evil SNaziP? I guess the plan changed to replace them all with furriners.

    Sturgeon yes, Yousaf needed more time I think, but the government did get bogged down in issues that I wasn't particularly bothered about.  I'll be interested to see Swinney's new cabinet and if there's any significant changes in approach.  I reckon he'll be more than a match for Sarwar and Ross at FMQs.

    I know I'm repeating myself, but name a poster on here who wouldn't be.

    Dawson Park Bigot would seem more appealing than DRoss, and win debates by admitting he didn't know what he was talking about and asking the wee creep to explain.

    Georgia are a decent side, who have also qualified for the Euros. They have a world-class winger in Kvaratskhelia and a good amount of quality throughout the team.  Apart from a pumping from Spain their recent record is solid and when we beat them at a soggy Hampden they'd been unbeaten in 10 competitive matches (and one loss in 15!).

    Hoping we avoid them in the quarter-finals TBH.

    (well, if England can do this shit...)

    Get pumped at the local elections in England banning gender neutral toilets is the answer 

    Don't forget withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights in order to persecute...well, whoever they felt like.

    Wee reminder of what the fascists would like control over. How many can you spot that directly prohibit Conservative policies or their publicly-aired views about the future of BRITTAN? More than I thought TBH.

    I know this is the Unpopular Opinion thread but some of the recent unpopular opinions over the last few pages have exposed some absolute wrong 'uns.

    It does rather explain the massive popularity of Mrs Brown's Boys - nobody was watching that who also liked Fawlty Towers and Blackadder, let's be honest.

    Add Whoops Apocalypse, Staggering stories of Ferdinand de Bargos and Yes, Minister to the list. 

    However, the negative list IS quite substantial.

    Never the twain, Ain't half hot mum, Are you being served?, Hi De Hi etc.

    It's like everything - people only remember the good stuff.

    Hipsters like to bang on about how they were born in the wrong time because they just LOVE Seventies/Eighties/Nineties music, completely oblivious to the horrors that were inflicted on young people on a weekly basis during those eras.

    The first series of Allo Allo is fantastic. 

    Sook on that, unpopular opinions thread.

    I'd assumed that would be a show that would've aged terribly until I ended up watching a couple of episodes with my old man on UKTV Gammon or whatever. It was still surprisingly entertaining.

    Edit: can't imagine it lends itself well to bingewatching, though. "Oh, the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies again, is it?"  :rolleyes:

    'Side hustle'

    Ffs just say 'other income'. You aren't Del Trotter.

    A few years back, the press were full of stuff about young people choosing to work "side hustles" in their spare time, apparently oblivious to the fact that a lot of them had no choice. It took a while before the cost of living increased enough to affect affluent media types and become a crisis.

    Anyway, I don't know how many times this has to be said, but 4-2 IS NOT A THRASHING. Thrashings start at 5-0. Thank you.

    The other possibility I missed out was AI and robots taking over our jobs leaving us free to look after our families.. Hurrah! 

    I deliberately ignored that because it'll be for people with a bit of money/decent health insurance, well past the point that it would be entirely affordable for the paupers.

    More likely that, in the future, there'll be a rush to do something about the auld yins in the street begging for help changing their adult nappies, and the answer will surrepticiously be "give them/their families the option of a pentobarbital jag".

    Just popping in a thought that if we want continue to provide a cradle to the grave welfare state, we'll have to either have to take on a lot more family child and elderly care responsibilities on our own, or free up immigration to people willing to take it on. 

    You forgot Option #3 - legalise euthanasia for humans.

    The welfare state's being wound up, and racism's making a comeback, so I'm thinking we'll see more of a push towards that from the new, humane Conservative Party that takes over from New New Labour.
