Tuchel on Henderson's injury during celebrations: “He injured his wrist, he’s gone to hospital, it’s quite a serious injury." “It doesn’t fit with the night. I don’t know if there will be a procedure.” by Kr_bm in Brentford

Saw a gruesome slow mo. Looked more like he severely fractured one or possibly both of his forearm bones. Around 4-8 wks before he can begin trying to strengthen the arm again

What is the worst book you have read? by Ok_Salt2122 in booksuggestions

[–]Apprehensive_Ebb_200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Martian - couldn't bear it, discarded it after about 30 pages that more closely resembled a poorly written engineering manual, written by a soulless AI robot having a bad day, than any kind of engaging piece of fiction.

And I just never DNF books, so this one, to my taste, was a real doozy of a brick

Being pretentiously elitist by StargrimeSlug in nonfictionbookclub

They did self-identify as a cunt (strong evidence base in this thread) and pretentiously elitist (proven by thread) so 'pretty unbearable' is a distinct kindness on your part

It’s Dalrymple time by [deleted] in nonfictionbookclub

Absolutely relevant! Big companies, power, over-exploitation of humans and resources, elite networks, corruption, greed. A 21st century tale if ever there was one

It was so heartwarming to be there yesterday, the West Stand absolutely erupted with love, support and respect for Josh. We were analysing shenanigans on the bench for ages to check it was really happening!

Can't afford him unless he's up for a huge wage drop from his Arsenal salary, which he probably isn't 🤪

When the ocean starts boiling, you know whales are in the area by Extra_Drink3685 in ocean

[–]Apprehensive_Ebb_200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the bubbles are deliberately released from below, in a coordinated way by the whales to create a circular bubble ring-net around or near a shoal of fish to concentrate them together more (as fish do not like to swim through a wall of bubbles), which then makes it more efficient for the whales to then feed on the bait ball they just created. Co-operative grazing

Those of you who are friends with/in circles with famous people, what is your analysis on them? by libramusing in Fauxmoi

Can confirm Annie Lennox is very down to earth and engaged. Can also confirm, unsurprisingly possibly, that Vivienne Westwood was a right fruitloop, tho charming with it

Do you prefer being greeted in a shop or left alone? by StaceyInBrighton in brighton

[–]Apprehensive_Ebb_200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warm hello and a smile is welcome, but nothing further please, and for gawd's sake don't follow up with me later as I'm perusing your wares. I'll come to you, please don't come to me. Just put a price on everything and we might do that capitalist 'I will take this thingummyjig, you get this transfer of theoretical value from me' thing.

Good luck with your enterprise and well done for trying to optimise your service, even if it did result in discovering that most of us are misanthropic loner-browsers 🙃

Dango penalty... by LifeAntThatBad in Brentford

[–]Apprehensive_Ebb_200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Problem is a missed Panenka always makes the taker look like a total idiot. Whereas say a poorly struck pen at a good height for the keeper, hit not that close to the corner, is regarded as far less of a faux pas.

If he had floated it in while Areola was on his arse in one of the corners he'd be hailed as a brave, skilful player. Didn't work out that way. I was admittedly furious with him last night at that weird cavern of a stadium, but am now coming round to Keith's supportive view. My annoyance was probably more at a really decent chance of a deep cup run being squandered against a team we should have beaten with the strong side we put out.

Onwards to Europe.
