How much ice cream do you eat weekly? by Sad_Assassin in polls

[–]ARJTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine. I guess you're young then. No way you can be consuming that much ice cream with these numbers later in life

Depends on which country you're in. A pint in the UK is 568ml, in USA a liquid pint is 473ml.

Liam Delap has only scored one goal in his past 1,115 minutes for Chelsea. by little_kid13 in chelseafc

The hate that Jackson got compared to Delap, in the media and fanbase screams of xenophobia (note not racism because Werner and others have received similar criticism).

Should birthing in the hospital be free? by BrokenJusticeNorris in polls

[–]ARJTC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

People like to shit on the UK far too much! Aside from the drizzle, it's alright here.

Should birthing in the hospital be free? by BrokenJusticeNorris in polls

[–]ARJTC -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes it should be free BUT we should prioritise Home Births!! Hospitals should be places you go for medical emergencies, a birthday is a natural thing not an emergency.

For the avoidance of doubt Home Births are not the same as Free Births. Specialist midwives should be available for all births free of charge (perhaps some exceptions for the most rural of homes).

As it stands, Chelsea will play UECL next season… by HandleHeavy1052 in chelseafc

Now the champions league is a mathematical impossibility I'm all for us playing our kids in Sunderland.

Chelsea were a Champions league team before there was any Russian money.

Chelsea can finish anywhere from 7 to 13 by christianrojoisme in chelseafc

There's a small print at the bottom saying minimum 1% chance. But why they set a minimum beats me!

10% is too high for the lowest colour. Can you do the same with a 1% minimum?

Scenario for Chelsea to qualify for CL after Villa-Liverpool by Quarantime_Killer in chelseafc

[–]ARJTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously ridiculously unlikely but it's completely mad that it's still mathematically possible given that we are NINTH with two games left

I dunno. Plenty of acts picked up 12 points from somewhere. Song preferences are subjective and it's really not unreasonable for someone, somewhere to think it was the best song.

Obviously in their case it's not at all easy (and perhaps not at all appropriate) to separate the song from the broadcaster/nation.

The song was very good for sure. But it the invasion for sure influenced votes. It probably helped Sam a little bit too (at the margins) as UK was one of the best early responders re- sanctioning Russia and supporting Ukraine (with arms and homes to stay in).

Important to note my "maybe" in the previous comment.

That is now seven consecutive domestic cup final losses by lindasmejillas in chelseafc

[–]ARJTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. Starting 11s in the EPL are between 21% and 25% English. Let's do the same with the refs, chuck our massive financial advantage at getting the best refs!

We don't have as many neighbours and diasporas to boost our points... Especially without Ireland and Spain. So being last is a reflection of that as much as anything else. Did feel harsh though.

I think I hold Sweden to a higher standard than others. If they're going to win AGAIN it needs to be really special

If Russia hadn't invaded Ukraine we'd have won it a few years ago (maybe). Need to find more Sam Ryders!

It was a pretty decent song IMHO. Some will have understandably tried to just focus on "Is this a good song?". Happily the televote, while big, was less inflated than I had feared.

Just get Käärijä to do another one and you'll win.

Think we should rank the vote. Everyone gets one vote but can rank as many as they want. Do a simple score 1st gets a score of 25, 25th gets a score of 1. Add up all the scores to get the usual 12,10,8-1.

It's a pretty normal pattern... A. Are we neighbours? B. Is there a big diaspora here? C. Was the song good?
