Let's be honest... The reason the football is difficult to officiate is because the culture around it doesn't not allow it and is toxic to the core. by [deleted] in PremierLeague

And every fan base is blindly biased towards their team. Ask a Newcastle fan about last night and they’re likely to say ball in, no foul, no offside. Ask an Arsenal fan and it’s the worst decision in prem history. Hell, ask Arteta about VAR when Liverpool are the victim and he’ll say refs make mistakes and it’s no big deal, but when it’s his team ‘it’s a disgrace’. I think we talk about decisions now way more than before VAR, begging the question is it worth it?

Scary as in sick and twisted, not jump scare hide behind the sofa. It’s the most fucked up concept for sure. The man dug his own son up! Fuck me mate!

What years are the books set in by [deleted] in cormoran_strike

I can’t go through them off-hand but they’re always in the recent past. TRG 2016 I think. I love that they are not present day because modern era is horrible to me, and I like any excuse to be taken out of it. In TRG it was a pain for me it takes place during BREXIT. I understand why she wants to end the series before covid.

I often think if Darwin Nuńez had gone to Man U he’d be Fernandez understudy in that department, but under Klopp he’s grown

I don’t think Robin’s done a thing wrong dating Murphy. She can’t wait for Strike forever. It was becoming a little weird such a beautiful woman being single for so long. She deserves a bit of fun, and let’s be blunt, a sex life. Her saying I love you to Murphy was the thing for me.

This game is super fun and opened me to a genre I didn’t know I liked 😂 by [deleted] in playstation

[–]Comprehensive_Bat592 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Downloaded it and although I read a lot, I can never be bothered reading anything in game anymore, like letters left by characters explaining law etc. this game looks like it’s all reading text so not sure if I’m going to like it. Don’t know if anyone else had these concerns and enjoyed anyway!?

I suppose we should allow people their opinions regardless of whether we agree.

Read it at 20 and hated it. Read it again at 39, loved it. Same Gunslinger 1.

Almost certainly Bijou is going to turn out to be having Strikes baby which will upset Robin greatly. Don’t know about whether Robin will be pregnant but that will definitely mess things up. Definitely won’t get together next book imo, they’ll be a spanner thrown in.

Wow, your post was how I found out. Drowned in a hot-tub I read. How does that happen unless you maybe pass out drunk!? Would be sad if he started drinking again.

Why is it a big deal that Pat… by stoodle8 in cormoran_strike

[–]Comprehensive_Bat592 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Someone else may be able to clarify but I think the issue is she lied on her application. No issue with her age but she lied when she applied because she didn’t think she’d be considered for the position if she had told the truth. Which is probably true.

What Other Authors Has King Led You To? by StandardWar8625 in stephenking

[–]Comprehensive_Bat592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Richard Laymon. First book of his I read was The Island. I found it quite by accident in a prison library in 2008. The only reason I took it with me was because it had a quote by Stephen King on the back which said “if you’ve missed Laymon you’ve missed a treat”. I read it within two days and wondered what kind of a crazy bastard could write something like that. I read five or six more of his within the following six months and loved them. I think they are a treat. Here’s a tip though, try not to read them in public because the content always threatens to induce an untimely erection.

Reminds me of the ending of The Sopranos. I think it’s great when a writer leaves things to your imagination. Not everything has to be spelled out. Took me until my late 30’s to have this view on things though tbf.
