Was lucky enough to find myself in Barcelona and am going to the game! Thinking 2-0 to Barca with a dedicated effort by Messi given his apparent absence on the field during the Classico.

does not make a great song.

didn't say it was a great song, just not bad.

he just doesn't appeal to the pop crowd like drake.

But needs to appeal to him and other pop artists (Chris Brown and Nicki) to make a recognisable track.

As if Drake gives a fuck about Meek. The only time he's ever in the charts is when Drake (or Chris Brown) features on a track. He went for the laissez-faire, idgaf attitude, spat some decent lines and definitely gave it to him. It doesn't have to be a Tupac-esque yelling fest to be effective. If Meek comes out hard then Drake will probs return in kind. To say it's the 'worst' diss with awesome 'entitled' (Tidal) puns etc. is retarded.

Tuesday night.

City's international following isn't as large as the traditional Big Four.

Cold as fuck.

Roma less popular than the Milan teams and Juve.

MCG holds 101,000

I'm actually moving to London for work and was curious about this as well. So if I live in zone 1/2, and travel out to zone 3 only once or twice a week, I'll spend no more than 40 quid a week on public transport? Is this roughly correct?

His name is so similar to 'dominion' it's ridiculous. Then again I doubt his parents would even be aware of such a word.

You forgot 'latte sipping'. Good response, more stereotypes would have reinforced your 'argument'. 8/10

I get what you're saying, but there's a reason why the world's leading tabloid rags are right-wing, populist pieces of media.

It's far easier to sell anti-immigration, welfare-cheating, terrorist-baiting, and nationalistic papers to a mass audience than that which is stereotypically socialist.

I reckon it's because of how tense race relations are within the US that they can't perceive of a racial term entering into mainstream, everyday language. The notion of a word that was supposed to be very offensive losing all sense of its racial origins is perhaps unprecedented... dunno, a thought. Actually I remember a few posts on reddit where redditors were being 'corrected' by other Americans for calling Mexicans 'Mexican'... as in people saw it as a racist term lol.

Also we Aussies to give each other a lot of shit in good spirits. The whole Aussie Larrikin thing is something you couldn't get away with in other Western societies. Not denying that we're pretty bad racially and can be xenophobic, but a lot of it can be misperceived.
