I really cannot imagine how that would work transposed to America. School life there is totally different to here, and the humour wouldn't translate at all.

I think we can at least agree that, regardless of squad absences and angst of Haaland/EPL fans, Norway weren't good enough to qualify. We'd all have been pretty depressed to have finished behind them.

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.

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).

Ten breaches so far and if he does it again, the judge might start to think about discussing the possibility of jail The most hard-done-by American of all time is doing an excellent job of demonstrating how the justice system bends over backwards for even the most difficult of the wealthy.

"They said I needed to quit meddlin', so I took a powder and got on the first plane" Best I got, sorry.

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. 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.

You do have to wonder what goes through the heads of Tories who are part of a minority, considering they'll be well aware that, the better the party does, the closer it gets to the day that they become the scapegoat.

Hoping we avoid them in the quarter-finals TBH. (well, if England can do this shit...)

Bobo mate, you might want to try the Free Speech Union when this account gets banned too - I hear they're really good.

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.

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.

Always amusing when the SNP BAD crew are out complaining that the party isn't divided enough for their liking

Can't blame him - he's a sexy, sexy man.

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. 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?"

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.

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".

Yes, we are Orally men.

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.

Don't search for that on Steam, by the way. I made that mistake once, but I think I got away with it.

The number of goals we've conceded is concerning too TBH, but Norn Iron was the only genuinely poor performance. Also annoying that we didn't push Spain a bit harder in the final two group games; didn't matter in the end, but we've ended up in a better position in groups before because one of our competitors made a c**t of a game they'd have expected to win. Fingers crossed our uncatastrophically bald boss can sort out the porous defence, as we were doing OK there for a while.

The beef rectum. Yum.

Hitler was dynamic and sexy, and look where that got us.

I've never seen Gavin & Stacey. From the adverts, I have a vague memory of it looking like your bog-standard ITV sitcom. So shite, in other words. Of course, it might just have been the stench of Corden that put me off. Maybe it's great.

Expanding League Two isn't the issue, but the increased movement between leagues. I only mentioned having a bigger basement league because if you mention having up to four teams relegated, people always freak out about as many as four teams being relegated from a ten team league every season. A bigger bottom division makes no difference on its own. There'll only be agreement on this issue if lower league clubs can see a potential route back, and if relegation isn't virtual exile. Kind of like how the SPL breakaway clubs found that Celtgers' superleague idea wasn't quite so great when anyone other than the top two could potentially be cast into the void they left behind.
