  1. Swansea fans said they barely saw him but what they saw was shite.
  2. Why do you hate traditional British values? Workhouses provide security for hardworking families.
  3. Yarns from the Chocolate Triangle by Chocolate Hills and the Orb. Ambientish dubby stuff. The title sounds like it should be filthy but it doesn't quite work as an entendre.
  4. I'd forgotten all about The Stairs for about 30 years. Dug out Weed Bus off the back of this post, heard a couple of other tunes and now have a whole back catalogue to go through. Cheers!
  5. I've actually given proper answers to this because it's an interesting topic. 3 comments, intended to be constructive. I assume you've thought about this but none of the questions suggest that you're taking into account or disentangling any other ways that Qatar may have influenced people. For example I regularly watch Al Jazeera, have had professional dealings with some of the state backed investment funds and am well aware from other (not al jazeera) news sources of their outward looking interventionism in ME balances of power. How can you link any perception i have if them to a football tournament? It's labour, not labor. If i was you i'd save the affective/normative, disempowerment and dimensions jargon for the thesis and use normal language while communicating with anyone outside academia or management consultancy.
  6. It was mostly making chips, although your idea sounds more fun.
  7. I worked at the cafe at the zoo for a couple of weeks. Going to see the monkeys on fag breaks was brilliant.
  8. Me working from home has certainly made this particular grift more difficult for the wife to sustain. Putting on a load of washing and watching diagnosis murder is no more a job than me logging on and moving my mouse every five minutes while shitposting.
  9. Probably the only team in the top two divisions where he'd actually be an upgrade.
  10. I don't think he was even very good as a meat and potatoes centre back. He was usually pretty good with long balls over the top or down the middle and quite robust at tackling, which are big plusses, but he barely won any crosses into the box. It's kind of a moot point though. Don't know exactly what went on with him and Barry but you'd think that the very public defenestration in January makes it very awkward for all concerned. Don't have any ill feeling towards the guy and Goodwin put him in this position. See also Richardson, J.
  11. I think he can still do a job for us. He can help put out the cones hand out bibs.
  12. I haven't been paying attention. Did this definitely actually happen or is it all a really convoluted "look over here!" before booting Ukraine square in the nuts?
  13. Anderson signed (for the second time) about a fortnight after this article https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/former-aberdeen-skipper-russell-anderson-1089354
  14. Our recent visit to the National Botanics co incided with an MG owners meet in the car park. One of the patrons, who was a cross between mr Burns and Hans Moleman, almost ran over my daughter because he apparently didn't see either her or the zebra crossing she was on. Classic Car meets are out for me, with all due respect to Mr Thebam senior.
  15. Annie (2014) I went into this with extremely low expectations mainly because of a vague notion that the original was insufferable and also because i dislike musicals. The musical aspect was dialled right down. Which was good. There were no big stagey dance numbers. The remaining musical bits were shite. It was a likeable enough feel good movie, if a bit over predictable. Cameron Diaz character felt a bit out of place. Jamie Fox and Rose Byrne were good. Kids were irritating wee shits. Looked awful. No sort of composition or even palette, just a general digitally looking computer game type bright lighting throughout. Some of the basic continuity was way off and jarring- eg someone walking across a road from the back switched to walking down it from the front. For all the high profile celebrity involvement, would have expected a bit more quality and a bit more story but it was strangely engaging. 5/10
  16. I asked for, for many years, and finally got a Battenburg cake for my birthday a couple of years ago. Only the co-ops 1980s butterscotch cream cake (45p) could have been better. There's about seven hundred programmes about people making cakes that my family members watch. Half of them are woodwork and chicken wire. Surely that's cheating?
  17. I think some of the Graffiti stencils are quite witty but i wouldn't want to buy witty Graffiti for the house. Dismal Land looked class though.
  18. I'm impressed that you're still phoning. That's proper old b*****d hold-out behaviour. I hope you paid by cheque.
  19. Fair point. I don't think that this story that's got so many attention grabbing angles is a great comparison for the migrant boat sinking though.
  20. It seems obvious that more stories in a globally wealthy and predominantly white country are going to be more often about people who are richer and whiter than the global average. I'd expect a story about the Scotland football team the day after a match rather than an in depth analysis of the dubious penalty in Gabon v Mali. Two main mechanisms explain this. Audience preferences. We relate to people who are like us, or like what we aspire to be. Editorial selection. As above except with a more elitist streak due to "people like them" being ex private school, oxbridge, home counties bellends. So while i kind of agree with what you're saying, i'm not sure what your point is.
  21. We have a sound legal claim to Sealand. Surely even are boys could manage that?
  22. Thread's got too long for me to check the whole thing. Watched Ghostbusters (proper version) last night and noticed not only the cop out of Die Hard (opening the poluce cell) but tubby porn star Ron Jeremy as an extra.
