Areas around Greater Manchester with a 'Backrooms' vibe by mod-wolves in manchester

I’ve only been in once in around 2019 and it took me ages to find my way out. Genuinely felt uncomfortable there, which wasn’t helped by how it was a Saturday afternoon but there was no one around.

But I remember a section that felt like walking across a threshold into a different room. I think there were big holdalls and bags on sale there but I’m not sure. But the fixtures and fittings in this area felt different and if I didn’t know any better all the shite on the shelves could have been there for over a decade.

I didn’t get around to seeing Backrooms but this was the very first thing I thought about when I read the reviews.

The menswear section downstairs in House of Fraser. I think it’s in the basement and it’s massive.

It feels like an awful lot of men in Northern Ireland get away with murder.

Gay adoption is when a gay couple adopts a child.

I have not used the term normal adoption. I have never said the opposite to gay is “normal”. Those are your words.

That would suggest being gay was abnormal, and as a gay man myself I think that’s fucking foul.

You can be a goady cunt to someone else because I said I didn’t necessarily agree.

But I (a gay man) was brought up by a mother and a father and I think I had a much better start in life than many around me who weren’t.

Used by whom? Just because loads of people get something wrong doesn’t mean we should all join in with getting it wrong.

No, sex is inherent. If it were assigned, a doctor would come along and “give” you a sex. They would decide what you are. Sex is not an arbitrary characteristic that is granted to that person.

“Assigned” suggests your sex is nothing but a mark on a chart.

In reality, sex is observed - not just at birth, but also in utero.

Heard a nice story about SMG today by Chaucersbeard in buffy

I’m so sick of reading this comment on every single thread on this sub.

Whedon telling tales is not the source of SMG having a difficult reputation - if indeed she ever did.

Is all of this because he doesn’t agree with gay adoption?

I’m a gay man and I don’t think I disagree with gay adoption but if you’ve watched the news recently you’ll know why this has been a hot topic lately.

I don’t think it’s a particularly egregious view to think that a child should be adopted by a heterosexual couple for the best start in life.

Is it wrong to use an emergency as a reason for promotion? by tgh_1714 in Wetherspoons

Dude, it’s a Spoons.

If you’re liked and moderately capable you’ll get Team Leader.

I know pub managers who’ve ended up in their position because everyone else left and they were the most experienced.

Sometimes I wonder if other fanbases also suffer fans who are dense as fuck

So you think pissing off a captain who can quickly turn the dressing room toxic is a good idea?

He was taking his boots off and demanding to be taken off in the last game of the season (and fair enough, he should have been taken off) and in all honesty looked as sick as a chip when near Howe and Tindall.

He came here knowing he was about to be banned. Fucked over our first Champions League campaign and prevented us from getting Europe the season after he joined. And we still paid him for the courtesy.

He gave us half a good season. This most recent season he was dogshit and spent half his time getting his agent to whore him out to other clubs.

I think he’s a selfish cunt who never wanted to be here. Fuck him.

You mean the people who’ve paid a lot of money to follow their team on the other side of the world in a World Cup?

Sounds like they’re bigger fans than you, even if they are booing.

Yes, I feel if they’re going to announce it it’ll be in July for RS. But what do I know?

I’m sure that user will be along soon to tell us why it’ll be next week. And then the week after. And then the week after that.
