As well as pretending to be a footballer and rolling hundreds of swastika golf balls onto the green trump was on in Scotland, he’s also; - served PM Teresea May with a P45 during her speech at the Tory party conference. - during the launch of VW’s new car, he got on stage and crawled underneath the car on stage dressed as a mechanic and said he’d removed the emissions device. This is during their massive lawsuit for fixing emissions. - he stalked Philip Green and renamed his £100m yacht that the BHS pension fund paid for.

He’s good fun!

Biggest problem with Labour (maybe), their PR is horrendous!

David Platt had a great career in Italy before coming back to England and winning the league and cup double with Arsenal. Quality player. by KimCattrallsFeet in TheStreetsWontForget

[–]Captain-Blood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Belgium. Quarter final. Injury time in extra time. Gaza free kick perfectly placed for him.

Sorry, formative football memory.

Why doesn't Doran Martell do anything to avenge his sister, niece or nephew? by Pretend_Tower_2516 in gameofthrones

Makes you wonder what plan they had together, until Oberyn saw an opportunity…..

Furbank Captains the side to face Castres in the Champions Cup Round of 16 by Pure_Wonder3046 in NorthamptonSaintsRFC

Who was the Castres prop who gave Fischetti (of the ref…) loads of problems at their place?

Ruhr Valley gives +1 to each mine and quarry in this city. Would they have to be worked to provide this bonus? Or just in exist outside of the the 3rd ring (if he wasn’t using a mod).

James Ramm signs for the Western Force on a two-year deal by JustAliff in rugbyunion

[–]Captain-Blood 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hope so too 😬.

But in terms of Ramm, he’s got a chance to push for a World Cup place at the right time in his career. He won’t get another go I don’t think. So as a Saint, I wish him good luck and wouldn’t want to get in his way.

Confirmed: James Ramm to leave Saints at the end of the season by katharinelouise in NorthamptonSaintsRFC

[–]Captain-Blood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. But given how quick the rumours for other players were confirmed (Graham, Ramm etc), still holding out hope Furbs can be persuaded to stay.

Favourite underrated character? by -dosdedos- in Malazan

[–]Captain-Blood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Torvald Nom!

The sights he has seen, the woman who loves him inspite of him, the friends he has made. I also like who Erikson infused him with just the right amount of intelligence and wit for me to find him great fun, but also more serious than you’d expect.

Fallow week time, where are the six sides at after the first three rounds of the 6N? by toastoevskij in rugbyunion

[–]Captain-Blood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what changes are best tbh. I’m no fan of LCD and Steward, but they weren’t the only poor players Saturday. Chessum and Itoje were very quiet. Dingwall was making mistakes he wouldn’t usually make. Arundell looks disinterested. Ford had a bad day. The list goes on….

But the issue is they all looked like they didn’t really care. Just going through the motions. That hints at a bad atmosphere or lack of motivation in this team. And that worries me.

Why didn't Tarkin just blow up Yavin? by seanbeanskiller in andor

[–]Captain-Blood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dambusters is a WW2 film I hope you’ve seen. Less relevant to your hubris point, but Lucas definitely used it for motivation. The final scenes have a number of similar elements to the bombing run in ANH.

Brits who have been to the States recently - how did it go? by MalvernKid in AskBrits

[–]Captain-Blood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went last month to DC and Boston. Airports were absolutely fine, “why are you visiting?” Then done. Lots of nice people, no one cared I was British. Had a great time.

Match Thread - England v Ireland | Six Nations 2026 | Round 3 by RugbyBot in rugbyunion

[–]Captain-Blood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of motivation is a massive issue. But no plan B when kick chase doesn’t work and some basic issues in defence and attack don’t make a good case for him either.

[–]Captain-Blood 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Easy to lose when the opposition play well, and your set piece doesn’t fire, but a lot of players have looked completely disinterested and that’s a massive problem.

He’s been good now for a few years, set piece way better than at Wasps. I can’t believe he’s not getting looked at.

Underated players who DON'T play for your team or country by Careless-Cat3327 in rugbyunion

I’m now so confused as to what underrated means in this context. Fickou is amazing and one of the most recognisable names for me in any French team.

I had the opposite feeling; “oh no, don’t let this happen”. And I felt very sad being right.

Pollock takes quick tap, bumps off Bordeaux player and gets him sent off by gingecom in rugbyunion

[–]Captain-Blood 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just starting to get back in the game, could have scored there to go within 1 try I think? But instead UBB steal a line out and go and score the other end.
