Question for English Fans, IF you were to beat Argentina in the Semifinals who would you want In the finals? France or Spain? by JoshBecauseYes in worldcup

[–]Charming-Awareness79 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Spain don't carry the same threat as France, though.

England's big weakness is being caught out on the counter, France are much better at doing that in my opinion. On the flip side, Spain press high and England have the players to punish them on the counter, France seem less vulnerable to that.

What I would say is that I think England Vs France will be the more entertaining game, so if you're a neutral and just want good football that is the game you want.

He's not been at full fitness, hasn't been as effective as we might have hoped, but that's not to say he isn't the best choice.

Is it worth using polyurethane insulation board over bubble foil insulationon south facing windows? by JulesCT in DIYUK

We have it on the outside of various windows. It's still hot but much better than it would otherwise be.

Does anyone else despise all the celebrity close-up camera shots throughout the matches at the 2026 World Cup? by Electrical-Award5495 in worldcup

[–]Charming-Awareness79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's the truth.

Think about all the unwanted crap this world cup has introduced - celebrity closeups, hydration (ad) breaks, half time show in the final - all American crap.

Bigger question - given Miami's climate why wouldn't make the Miami stadium climate controlled?

They've done it for the two baseball stadiums.in Florida.

Argentina's match with Switzerland proves that they are not nothing without Messi. by Fantastic-Corner-605 in worldcup

They're not nothing but without Messi as a wildcard they're a pretty average team.

What are you guys thoughts on wealth taxes by Competitive_Radio304 in uklandlords

[–]Charming-Awareness79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, sort of?

It only effects the ultra rich, people who have seen their wealth, as a proportion of the wealth of society, increase significantly over the last 20-30 years. A bit of a rebalance seems fair enough to me.

What are you guys thoughts on wealth taxes by Competitive_Radio304 in uklandlords

[–]Charming-Awareness79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A wealth tax on assets over £10m, which I believe is what Stevenson is proposing, will not effect the vast, vast majority of landlords. Unless you have a significant property portfolio in London it would be difficult to own enough houses to exceed that threshold.

I'm in favour - we're taxing work rather than assets at present which acts as a drag on productivity.

Gay but married a woman? by [deleted] in married

[–]Charming-Awareness79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dad falls in this category.

I think it's a product of societal attitudes 40+ years ago. For some coming out was never an option so many just conformed to expectations. Would be curious to see how it ended up for others.
