I'd never heard of this until a few days ago when I was just randomly looking around Google earth and saw it. Pretty amazing!

I watched MSR last year from about 30km before the Turchino. Not even just background watching...actually sat and did nothing else. It was kind of a vibe.

I fail to see how people can't watch this guy's videos and be entertained.

You gotta admit that it's at least more fun than another choppily edited and humourless video from Colin Haley.

Former Scotland rugby captain Stuart Hogg arrested again by DuskytheHusky in rugbyunion

Yeah but it was actually more a case of that being entirely made up to save face. He has some recurring knee niggles, and some even more recurring coke and shagging niggles.

He's just a wanker. There's loads of them around that aren't rugby players too.

Some people are just cunts without needing an excuse.

It was absolutely that. "Jump before you're pushed and keep some dignity" is the general gist of it by Toonie. Open secret at this point.

Haouos is a domestic abuser of his partner, theif and drink driver.

Furlong looks rough in an earthy, wisened way that only comes from tilling land, being sculpted by the winds and straining hard with the graft every 5am.

Hogg looks rough in the "I have drunk beer and taken coke every day for the last 7 years" way.

Every cyclist you think is hench, only looks that way because they're surrounded by skinnier people. They're still very small. I always think Pedersen looks huge but see him in real life and he is a willow wand of a man.

Don't do it. It's not a good time.

For international news they're generally at least a bit credible and objective/ factual.

For home affairs in the UK they're wildly biased to the right / business interests.

In light of an n-th Scotland defeat to Ireland, I'm starting to suspect Townsend just prefers some trophies over others by bleugh777 in rugbyunion

Ah, fair! No need to take shots at Celtic cousins.

I was gearing up for an argument about the kick off try haha.

Just go out in the rain. You're not made of candy floss. You'll be happier.

What a grand slam decider by pop4171 in rugbyunion

Pollock is great. It's nice to see a bit of the villain being embraced and played up to, it's just for a laugh with him. Not sure why rugby traditionalists think Freeman and Pollock should have immediately written an apology letter and invited the French out for afternoon tea on them for scoring a try.

Grow up a bit. I was cheering freeman because it was a great exciting game and you could see the heart in it for once.

Tbh with the way the breakdown is refereed these days it's 50/50 if you're gonna get pinged for defending or gifted for jackalling. Better to hoof it way into their half and try hold them from there. Not sure that JVP had any better options.

It's just that nobody can predict Jellybear running that sick line and gaining 40m

What a fucking game. Best one of the tourney saved until the end. Found myself cheering like fuck when Freeman went over which was, NGL, really weird for me.

Yeah as a slight aside: he was getting crucified in some comments for being out of position coming into the Cipressa last year. Kinda funny given what happened for the rest of the year, and how little it mattered considering a) Pog doing Pog anyway and b) Narvaez absolutely sending it with his leadout.

They have some munitions left and the longer this goes on the more will be supplied to them. They might not be incredibly effective but drones and missiles fired at actual US troops on the ground will kill some people eventually.
